A million decisions

It must be by now a million life altering decisions made
with the wrong interpretation of 1 Corinthians 15:33;
"Bad associations spoil useful habits" according to
The New World Translation of The Holy Scriptures.

Everlasting life is dependent on "taking in knowledge".
The "useful habits" are obviously works done in faith
for the sanctification of Jehovah's Name.  When all
"know Jehovah" then, and only then, can the world
find peace.  Everlasting life does not come with knowing
Jehovah, but one can not be had without the other.

Has nobody looked at the context but me?  The mind, does it
not communicate? and make associations?  Mine does.
That is what that scripture means.  The mind.  Making bad associations
in the mind spoil the "new personality" (NWT), or "self" for Christ.

Look at the chapter, please.
Paul says he fought "wild beasts" then you think he said
being with people who do not want to know Jehovah will
spoil your wanting to know?   Who believes that?
Isn't it dangerous to your everlasting life to believe that?

There is caution mentioned  about associating with some
people, but it does not make for spoil.  Associating with the wrong
people causes a weakening of wisdom, not love.
