Because we live in this world...we are affected by the things of this world! Satan appearing as an angel of lite contaminating the smallest of things....in that he may infiltrate our minds and establish a strong hold!! For the bible says, "Be self controlled and alert. Your enemy the devils prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith..."! Sometimes he so innocently appears to us saying, "It's just a game!" or "It's just a movie!" or "It's just a song!". Then you begin to let your guard down and accept these words and the door is then open for him to enter and destruction is the end result. Worst of which is the destruction of your testimony! The only way you can stand firm in the faith is to be girded about with the armor of God for without this you can not stand against the devil!
We are called to be holy as Christ is holy. 1 Peter 1:14-16 says, " As obedient children do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he called is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: be holy, because I am holy. We must purify ourselves by OBEYING the Word of Truth. Not reasoning with the Word of Truth!! We can not manipulate the Word of Truth to make it fit our fleshly desires!! You can not leave a door partially open and tell Satan to not walk through it...
God's never does anything with reason... When he reveals sin to us, we are to be quick to be obedient! Plain and simple!!
