Is it written anywhere in the Bible that Christians are not to associate with Evil?

Yes in the New Testament:\n\n"Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good" (Rom. 12:9). And, "we should not lust after evil things" (I Cor. 10:6). Also, "Test all things; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil" (I Thess. 5:21-22)

I have heard of Christians who do not believe in hell.  It is ashamed, because if you call yourself a christian and then do not believe in eternal punishment, I guess you are calling Christ a liar.  Jesus has mentioned hell in the bible.  It is mentioned throughout the bible.  For those supposed Christians who do not believe in hell, they need to drop being christians, because Christ never lied.

my answer is based on bible, so sorry if you think the bible's a fake.\n\nbut, the bible teaches that all people are inherently evil.  i think the only good people do is solely out of the grace of god.

Do Christians avoid non-Christians ?

I agree that Christians are too quick to condemn and judge. However, you should not be surprised - the Bible describes itself in similar terms. For example:\n\n"For The Word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight." (Hebrews 4:12-13).\n\nThere are other passages that talk about other aspects in terms of weapons (e.g. the "Sword of the Spirit").  Although I disagree with how Christians condemn a lot of the time, it cannot be denied that the Bible talks of itself and other elements of faith as a weapon in certain passages.

Because, to them, all that's not in accordance word for word with the bible is different. Difference is thus evil. They're scared.

Fair enough, now are you going to post all the acts of evil perpetrated in the name of Christianity.  See 34 AD to Present.\n\nNote: Big Pen, the answer was meant to be sarcastic, however, Christianity still has much to answer for.

of course!  just because a few are evil doesn't make that religious group as a whole bad, there are plenty of evil christians too

It is not.  Just ask a Jew.  In fact, most Christians do not try to spin that lie anymore either.

That is awful.  People who never go to church, never read the bible, and curse all the time are not saved in my opinion.  If they are really saved they'll have the desire to read God's word, meet with other christians, and wont want to say evil words. They are just one of those people who claim to be something, but really are not.

The old testament did make references to slavery as if it was normal,as long as Jews weren't enslaved.Leviticus 24:44 said not to enslave Jews,but if you need slaves,you may buy them from other nations.\nOnly a man would say that it is not OK to enslave your own people,but OK TO enslave others,not God.We are all God's children.No one should be enslaved,period.Then somewhere else in the old testament it said that If a man rapes a woman,he would be sentenced to death. If he rapes a slave,he would be punished,but not sentenced to death because she was just a slave.Something like that.Why would anyone believe that is a word of God?\n\nI remember Jesus using slavery as an example to make a point,but I don't think he was condoning slavery.It was just a parable.I wish I could remember the exact verse.\n\nSlavery is wrong,period.It is insane to believe that God would condone people being mistreated as long they weren't Jews?That doesn't sound like a loving God.

The possibility of evil existed.\n\nBecause evil (in the biblical sense) is transgressing the spirit or word of God's Law.\n\nThat's why there was a law in the first place, so the created beings would have a guideline for happiness and perfection.\n\nGreat question!

You mean is it wrong for Christians to read?  No....they are not bound to what they can/cannot read.  Better we read and talk about it then say so without reading.  I have not read it, but my SIL has and she is a Christian.\nGod judges us by His Law not man made laws.  His law is the Ten Commandments.\nWhat unsaved people do not realize is we have no boundaries of what we can/cannot do.  We have convictions that warn us of the consequences of doing what would be sinful in God's eyes.

wow, that seems like a very good point. and other people's answeres just strengthen that the things that people say seem are obvoulsy evil, probably aren't because that is not the devil's style.  Like they think the crazy rockbands are evil and stuff. And the people who dress weird. But they aren't really cuzz evil is much more elusive. Like if I am going to smuggle drugs through the airport Im not going to dress "suspiciously" I won't have blue hair, and black clothes and stuff. so when I do dress like that people should just leave me the $@#@ alone.\n   And you don't get any bonus points for being kind and mercifull to those who are your friends, and whorship you either. It even says that in the bible. Everyone is nice to their friends. So when gods nice to the people that praise him and stuff,, so what?  Both of the are pridefull. I still don't see what makes god's pride better than anyone else's.

Nope - nothing wrong with that. It's written in scripture

This is God's advice:\n\n(2 Cor 6:14 NIV)  Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
