That's " therefore the world hateth you." not withdraw from the world. Be in the world, not of it. But I've heard lots of libs that want to shut down Christians by trying to use the bible against us saying it means this or that when it doesn't. That was a big thing in the last elections, it just burns them up. It's nothing new though, look at the Russian revolution or French revolution (most any revolution), they shut the Christians up you bet, and a whole lot of people were dead. Christians don't withdraw from the world because the Holy Spirit (GOD) is here at work. Once He's gone, they can have their crummy world all to themselves... at which point they will try to destroy themselves and extinguish the human race.
You are right most people who say they are Christians don’t withdraw.
A Christian is not of the world. Satan is the prince of the World. The world is following Satan. A Christian is supposed to follow Jesus.
Jesus said: (Matthew 5:39) “You have learnt how it was said: ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’ But I say this to you: offer the wicked man no resistance.”
Now Satan just has to get people to ignore that one verse, and he has won.
Jesus said: (Matthew 6:19) “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
Now Satan has most Christians disregarding Jesus and making bankers rich. Satan has most Christians trusting in his or her savings accounts, and not God.
Jesus said: (Luke 14:33) “So in the same way, none of you can be my disciple unless he gives up all his possessions.”
This verse has to make Satan very happy.
Disobeying God is a sin.
(1 John 3:8) “He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work”
