Converse

[Goodbook]

Well, if they smell bad dont wear them, i say.

It's only a Satanic symbol - inverted pentagram - if the wearer walks on their hands. A general rule in life is to avoid people who walk on their hands and wear Converse sneakers.

Made me laugh

I dunno isnt the pentagram symbol on the sole as well?
I ditched mine and i dont have OCD. Mainly because im a grown up and wear grown up shoes now. Put away childish things..as Paul says.

Also, God had me give up all my black clothes and shoes. I think i only have one black item left now which is black and white striped dress, so I look like I just got out of prison. He doesnt want me to look like a black widow.

Some ppl on here took offence at this. You cant give up anything that reminds you of the occult! They shrieked. I dont care. Im wearing my robes of righteousness and garments of praise, not sackcloth and ashes.

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life ?" Matthew 6:25-27

I don't really wear black either. But beause I don't like it. I like more colorful clothes.

But we should not judge each other by clothes, or anything else. Some feel this, some feel that. Some may feel like wearing black, some not. Just don't judge.


"Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day." Colossians 2:16

I wasnt judging as it was for myself not anyone else.
I like colourful clothes too.

 

[Goodbook]

Just because i dared to share a conviction, ppl thought i was judging THEM. Well, whatever. i know my God.

 

[Zoleee]

Yeah I didn't mean that you have judged someone, I just said we should not judge.

 

[Goodbook]

I remember the first time I got told I had to wear all black clothes, it was cos I was ushering at a theatre. I had hardly any and had to go and buy some. I asked why, they said it was cos it looked professional. Well. I dont know about that.

 

[Goodbook]

Yea, people were judging me for giving up black clothes. I was like.. What? It brought me closer to God, wearing the things He likes.

I don't really think that God is so trivial that He is going to judge you because you're wearing Converse shoes or clothing that is a certain color. However, He may judge you because of what you do while wearing these garments.

Well, consider this, converse sneakers are mostly worn by rebellious teenagers.

They are worn by NBA players:

We have a sportswear shop called REBEL sport.
I know they were originally basketball boots. But theyve become popular in certain subcultures as a casual shoe. I mean I wore them and I didnt play basketball.

I wear commandos instead. They a nz brand. They dont have pentagrams on them. Just an M logo on the sole. And they dont pinch. I wore these for netball (but dont play anymore) but the shoes are really comfy.

I'm more concerned with mum eating peanut butter out of peanut butter jars with pentagrams on the lid. (star in circle)
I don't eat that myself, not really a fan of peanut butter anymore. Also peanut butter can kill you if you allergic.

Mum is not a believer though...its just I don't like seeing pentagrams everywhere. We have them on our national flag but they are not upside down. I think people ought to be aware that symbols are what the occult uses to 'draw power'. When I was mixed up with it, thats what they did.

However we as christians do not 'draw power' our power is sent from above, not below.
