From my X / Twitter “For you” feed this evening -

What church rule did you grow up thinking was biblical before you discovered that it wasn’t actually in the Bible?

I think there are principles in the Bible that guide the teaching on social behavior that need to be interpreted by the Church for each new generation ... eg, using drugs, viewing pornography, listening to ungodly music, watching movies that demean Christian values, etc
