I don't see the value of equating nonsensical things to the argument. If inking yourself up and listening to Black Sabbath is your thing, then by all means go for it. I won't stop you. However I am entitled to the opinion that it is a stumbling block and a mistake. It is not a sin, in my...

True, I do not think tattoos are a sin. However, I do believe when we are saved it matters how we conduct ourselves. We are called out of the world. We cannot play both sides. It's like Lots wife. As far as music goes, I am a musician and like all kinds of music. Some songs are bad because of...

I'm glad we can disagree agreeably. Jesus associated with sinners but he didn't become a sinner. He called them away from sin. The message being received is important and it is your responsibility to control that message and understand its implications. I originally stated that the "message"...

Not what message is being sent, what message is being received. I'm sorry my example of Black Sabbath became a distraction, certainly you have the capacity to understand the illustration.

Sorry, I don't agree. I am not ignoring my own "mote". The topic is tattoos. I didn't even go so far as to say they were a sin. They are unwise, unhealthy, send a distorted and confusing message, etc. I do not believe that tattoos will in any way prevent you from being saved. You could say the...

As stated previously, in Leviticus it is so the Jews would be separate from the pagans. That reasoning applies today just as it did back then. Tatoos are symbols of the fallen world. Let's face it, the last thing that comes to mind associated with tattoos is clean living. It's one thing if an...

Thanks everybody, its an interesting range of responses. Looking at various scriptures I can see how you would derive different meanings from different scriptures. Or the same meaning if you looked at all from a common point of view. I wonder if there are different words that have been...

No problem, I appreciate your point of view. Thank you.

Here is some food for thought. Hebrews 11:16 But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city. Philippians 3:20-21 But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the...

Hi all, First a disclaimer, these thoughts are not based on scripture. Please feel free to correct me and I welcome all other perspectives on the topic. I guess I just had this idea that Heaven was right here but in an alternate dimension/universe. I think that's the result of being a scifi...

Observer or debater? Not either. Clearly the intention is to throw out a bunch of incendiary comments, waste peoples time and energy, and end any meaningful conversation.

No I won't. You got what you came here to do. I am not wasting any more time here.

You are anything but an observer. But this will be my last post post. There aren't enough hours in the day to bandy words with somebody who is only here to be an instigator. I don't know if you are paid to do this or just lonely and angry but I will pray for you either way, then move on.

I have to say, I am amazed by the high number of trolls on this forum.

What? Pro lifers deny what about past slavery in the south? Thats painting with a broad brush to say the least. Not to mention the accusation is nonsensical.

That's an odd and hate filled comment at best.

You only need five unelected judges to reverse a decision you only needed five judges to make.

Hi, for the record I also posted this in another thread but I'm trying to use a clipbook and everything displays weird and I'm not sure of what I'm doing. Just saw the Christmas show at the local theater. Because I love the show and wanted to demonstrate my support for it and because I thought...

Hi Sue, I'm sorry, I assumed that people who know the series would be aware of The Chosen Christmas special being shown in theaters starting tonight. I love the series for what it is and loved the actual video of the Birth of Jesus but was very put off by the majority of the music videos the...

I wasn't really trying to frame the argument. Just illustrating that argument isnt quite as simple as that. I suppose most constitutional amendments have strong moral drivers but that's the real problem here. There is no amendment that guarantees a right to abortion. It was a bad judicial...
