Once again we find ourselves addressing a claim that is false, made by other churches. The accusation is that the members of the church of Christ believe that Social Activities are Sinful.
Yes, Jesus did say, “for as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark” (Matt. 24:38).
But the real sin was not their social activities, rather it was their refusal to listen to God, through the preaching of Noah. Genesis 6:5 states, “Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”
That is why they perished!! How is your heart? Is it filled with the righteousness of God? John wrote in the New Testament, “Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son” (2 John 1:9).
All who transgress the law of will be judged, it’s that simple. But let’s study this together and reach a conclusion by the scripture.
The question is not are social activities sinful? Rather, is the Lord’s church to be involved in social activities?
