34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

We used to call ourselves Fundamentalists and we were all part of Independent Fundamental Churches of America. IFCA for short. I belonged to SEVERAL IFCA CHURCHES as I grew up spiritually, because we moved a lot. The final straw was when Harold Camping, wanted his followers to call themselves Fundamentalist. So because so many cults had come in that wanted to call themselves, Fundamentalist, we decided not to use the term. So we abandoned the TERM and now most of us use Conservative Evangelicals.
That I disagree with, that is an ABUSE of ALL THINGS are lawful for those in Christ... , AND trying to make it fit in the most inappropriate place. If I remember right, that was in response to the question: "Is it illegal to eat meat that was sacrificed to Idols, since we know the Idol was nothing but stone, and really a god." I believe Paul went on to say, "If your brother thinks it is sin, then do not do it for the Sake of your Brother."
PROPER INTERPRETATION HAS THREE PRIMARY RULES.
1. READ THE CONTEXT.

1 Corinthians 6:18 (KJV)
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
I was living in a rural village a few years ago. Walking to the local post office to pay an important bill. Halfway there I went to get the bill out of my pocket, and it wasn't there! Oh crap! Right then I was guided to walk back home, as I was walking along I heard a rustling sound like paper in the breeze, there was the bill right on the sidewalk! There was no breeze that day, totally calm.
