One of the most popular names that we\u00a0think of regarding Protestantism and\u00a0Christianity in the 16th century is Martin\u00a0Luther. One thing for which Luther was\u00a0known is the concept of adiaphora<\/em>, from the\u00a0Greek meaning \u201cthings indifferent.\u201d It is the\u00a0concept that there are things in the Bible\u00a0and in Christianity that do not matter. Is this\u00a0an accurate concept? Are there things in the\u00a0Bible that don\u2019t matter?\u00a0Is anything really\u00a0adiaphora<\/em>?<\/p>\n

Sure, some things are, like the eating of meats that Paul discussed in 1 Corinthians 8. But that doesn’t mean everything is. However, the denominational world seems to think that very little truly matters. Here are six popular statements\u00a0made in support of this claim:<\/p>\n

1. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter if I\u2019m baptized;\u00a0as long as I confess my faith in Christ I\u2019ll be saved.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are very few things that God leaves\u00a0up to us, and our salvation is definitely not\u00a0one of them. Christ regulated our salvation\u00a0when He said in Mark 16:16, \u201cHe who believes\u00a0and is baptized will be saved \u2026.\u201d\u00a0Peter did the same thing in 1 Peter 3:21\u00a0when he said, \u201cBaptism, which corresponds\u00a0to this, now saves you \u2026.\u201d Our salvation is\u00a0regulated. Baptism is regulated. It is not left\u00a0up to us to decide how we are saved as God\u00a0has regulated that no man is saved apart\u00a0from Christ, or apart from belief, repentance,\u00a0confession, and baptism.<\/p>\n

2. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter how I worship;\u00a0as long as I’m worshipping, God will\u00a0accept that.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Hebrews 9:1, the writer says, \u201cNow\u00a0even the first covenant had regulations for\u00a0worship \u2026.\u201d This means that the second\u00a0covenant, the covenant under which we live,\u00a0also has regulations for worship. All too often\u00a0we want to say that worship is left up to us,\u00a0and we can worship in any way that we\u00a0please. God, however, regulates our worship.\u00a0We are to meet together regularly (1\u00a0Corinthians 14:23-25), on the first day of\u00a0the week (1 Corinthians 16:1-3) to partake\u00a0of the Lord\u2019s Supper (1 Corinthians 11:24),\u00a0to sing with our hearts being the instrument\u00a0(Ephesians 5:19), to give (1 Corinthians\u00a016:2), to teach (Acts 20:7), and to pray (Acts\u00a02:42). Christ said that when we come together,\u00a0we are to worship in \u201cSpirit and truth\u201d\u00a0(John 4:23-24). We are not left to worship\u00a0any way we want because it is regulated\u00a0by God.<\/p>\n

3. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter how I live; as\u00a0long as the Bible does not specifically\u00a0forbid my actions, I will be acceptable\u00a0in the eyes of God.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the most prevalent mindsets in\u00a0regard to the topic of indifference is, \u201cAs\u00a0long as the Bible doesn\u2019t condemn it, I am\u00a0free to participate in it.\u201d In regard to this\u00a0point, here are three questions to consider.\u00a0First, was Noah permitted to use any kind of\u00a0wood because they were not specifically forbidden?\u00a0No one would say that he could use\u00a0any wood he chose, because he was commanded\u00a0to use gopher wood. Was a priest\u00a0allowed to come from a tribe other than Levi?\u00a0Hebrews 7:11-16 says that a priest was not\u00a0allowed to come from the tribe of Judah because\u00a0Moses had said nothing about priests\u00a0coming from that tribe. Were Nadab and\u00a0Abihu allowed to bring any kind of fire before\u00a0the Lord? They were killed because they\u00a0brought unauthorized fire before the Lord\u00a0(Leviticus 10:1-3). In all these cases, God\u00a0did not have to forbid everything that was\u00a0wrong. All He had to do was state what was\u00a0right. It is the same way with us today; when\u00a0God commands something, everything else\u00a0is forbidden.<\/p>\n

4. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter what I believe;\u00a0as long as I\u2019m a good person, God will\u00a0not send me to hell<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another idea that is prevalent in our society\u00a0is that if I live a good life, then God\u00a0would not send me to Hell. However, in\u00a0Ephesians 2:8-9, Paul says, \u201cFor by grace\u00a0you have been saved through faith. And this\u00a0is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,\u00a0not a result of works, so that no one may\u00a0boast.\u201d First, we are not saved by works or\u00a0anything that we can do, but by faith. How\u00a0good a life we live does not earn us our salvation,\u00a0and that\u2019s a theme that is found\u00a0throughout Scripture. Secondly, Jesus said\u00a0in John 14:6, \u201cI am the way, and the truth,\u00a0and the life. No one comes to the Father except\u00a0through Me.\u201d We can live as good a life\u00a0as possible but that will never get us to\u00a0Heaven. The only way for man to be saved\u00a0is through Jesus Christ and obedience to\u00a0His will.<\/p>\n

5. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter if I go to church;\u00a0as long as I\u2019m a Christian, I will be\u00a0saved.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

An interesting aspect of this statement is\u00a0that if we are saved, then we are Christians\u00a0and a part of the church. So why do we not\u00a0attend the worship service? In Acts 2:47,\u00a0Luke tells us that God \u201cadded to their number (the church)\u00a0day by day those that were\u00a0being saved (Christians).\u201d There is no such\u00a0thing as a Christian that is not part of the\u00a0church. In Hebrews 10:24-25 the Bible says,\u00a0\u201cAnd let us consider how to stir up one another\u00a0to love and good works, not neglecting\u00a0to meet together, as is the habit of some,\u00a0but encouraging one another, and all the\u00a0more as you see the Day drawing near.\u201d The\u00a0Hebrew writer tells us to meet together because\u00a0it helps stir up love, good works, and\u00a0encouragement. This is not just for others,\u00a0but we too gain those benefits when we\u00a0come together with our brethren.<\/p>\n

6. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter if I\u2019m active in\u00a0my local church; as long as I\u2019m attending\u00a0service, I\u2019m alright with God.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is an important question to consider\u00a0in regard to this statement. In the previous\u00a0statement, Hebrews 10:24-25 was mentioned,\u00a0\u201cAnd let us consider how to stir up\u00a0one another to love and good works, not neglecting\u00a0to meet together, as is the habit of\u00a0some, but encouraging one another, and all\u00a0the more as you see the Day drawing near.\u201d<\/p>\n

How can we be encouraged, loved, and have\u00a0good works stirred up within us if we do not\u00a0talk and interact with our brethren? The Bible\u00a0speaks often of prayer, love, encouragement,\u00a0stirring up good works, and growing in Christ\u00a0through association with fellow Christians.\u00a0How can we obtain these things from people\u00a0with whom we do not interact? The answer\u00a0to that question is this: we can\u2019t! We cannot\u00a0be who we are supposed to be as Christians,\u00a0or reap the full benefits of being a Christian,\u00a0if we are not interacting with Christians.<\/p>\n

So, back to our initial question, is adiaphora\u00a0<\/em>real? Well, there are things that do\u00a0not matter, like talking sports to our friend\u00a0or the place and time we worship. However,\u00a0those things are still regulated. Our salvation\u00a0is regulated, worship is regulated, our lives\u00a0are regulated, and church is regulated. So if\u00a0God regulates everything in some form, how\u00a0can there be room for adiaphora<\/em>?<\/p>\n

It is important that we guard against viewing\u00a0things that God has regulated as though\u00a0they are not regulated. Additionally, we must\u00a0never allow ourselves to be indifferent toward\u00a0our worship of and service for the Lord. This\u00a0kind of indifference will keep us from pleasing\u00a0God (Revelation 3:15-16). Indifference,\u00a0in regard to the things of God, is one of the\u00a0great issues that the church faces today.<\/p>\n
