>1. Tithe
If your church isn't run by wolves in sheep's clothing and you're tithing within your means maybe.
>2. Attend Church at least once a day
Kek. Weekly has been the tradition since ancient Israel.
>3. Not associate with those outside of your Church when unnecessary
Not a rule in either the Bible or church tradition. Especially not if you mean "church" as in the local church one attends.
1 Cor 5:9-11 on the matter:
>I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with fornicators. Yet I certainly did not mean with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—not even to eat with such a person.
Not to mention the fact Jesus shared company with prostitutes and tax collectors.
>4. Center your life around your relationship with Christ
If you're implying we need to hide in our rooms praying 24/7 and neglect the other aspects of our lives, no.
>5. Not watch porn
Correct.
>or coom
If you're not Protestant. Full-on sola scripturists are agnostic as to whether cooming in itself when unmarried is a sin.
>6. Not read the works of athiests/pagans
Lol, never been a rule. Plenty of Christians avoid watching or reading overtly satanic entertainment though (pic related).
>7. Not engage in politics.
Never been a rule in the vast majority of denominations. It happens to be a rule in mine, but that doesn't mean I can't have an opinion.
I generally do not want to validate the system by voting anyway. If there is a plebiscite that actually matters (e.g. banning the teaching of sodomy in schools) I can always break that rule the same way I can break "thou shalt bear false witness" if doing so saves a life. See Rahab.
