Does the bible tell us to turn from certain people and not to associate with them….?
1 Corinthians 15:33 (AMP)
But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; 9 but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.
Proverbs 20:19
He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets; Therefore do not associate with one who flatters with his lips.
Proverbs 24:21(AMP)
My son, [reverently] fear the Lord and the king, and do not associate with those who are given to change [of allegiance, and are revolutionary]*lovers of themselves
This is a very long list....
*lovers of themselves
*lovers of money
*boasters
*proud
*blasphemers
*disobedient to parents
***unthankful
*unholy
*unloving
*unforgiving
***slanderers-people that talk, but dont have their facts right
*without self-control
*brutal
*despisers of good
*traitors
*headstrong
*haughty
***lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God
***having a form of godliness but denying its power
***one who flatterswith his lips
***those who are given to change [of allegiance, and are revolutionary]
I am sure there is probably more, but this is a big enough list to get the point...There are a few points that people wouldnt think about, I underlined them. take a second look at them. Really be sure to understand.
- be of the same mind
- do not set your mind on high things
- associate with the humble
- do not be wise in your own eyes
