    Poll: Tattoo art - Christian perspectives: Fight it? Ignore it? appreciate/embrace it?

    Right, Jesus said He came to fulfill the law. He did that in our stead because we could not. Romans 15:4 (NASB) For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. 1 Corinthians...

    Poll: Tattoo art - Christian perspectives: Fight it? Ignore it? appreciate/embrace it?

    My opinion is that God is not so much concerned with what we hang on the outside of this tent as He is the inside. To each man's conscience on this one. 2 Corinthians 5:1 (NASB) For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made...

    Poll: Tattoo art - Christian perspectives: Fight it? Ignore it? appreciate/embrace it?

    No I did not read your posts on this Forum. Quoting the Levitical laws is smoke and are societal regulations for Israel and not the Church. We are not Israel.The mark of Rev 13 is mixed in with worshipping an image and taking a name/number. Nothing to do with voluntary tattoos. Try again.

    Ignore it... 15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. 17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. 20 For meat destroy not the work of God...

    An analogy to illustrate God's sovereignty and Our free will.

    This is probably the most troublesome. Which of the verses given at the end of your post would apply?

    An analogy to illustrate God's sovereignty and Our free will.

    Here is one I heard years ago that helped me greatly through my struggle at grasping the two. A hiker is traveling through the forest and comes to a fork in the road with two arches over each path. Upon deliberating which path he decides (man's choice) to take the path that leads him uphill...

    What is Legalism?

    Here is your full quote... "I know you're very touchy, and people have to walk on eggshells around you, so put me on ignore, and I'll do the same for you. Besides, you are very closed minded; not open AT ALL. I won't be seeing anything more from you. You are now on ignore." Interesting way to...

    What is Legalism?

    Who said it's an emotional show. That publican went away justified, God knowing it wasn't an 'emotional show'. Have you never been surely convicted of a certain sin of yours, or do you claim perfection? I don't believe I ever said sorrow (contrition) was a necessity for genuine repentance.

    What is Legalism?

    no, but some people bring it on themselves.

    What is Legalism?

    I prefer this way, it's sort of antipharisaical, (or at least prevents the inner pharisee from resurrecting) shall we say... Luke 18:13 (KJV) And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

    What is Legalism?

    What's that supposed to mean? It's also said, some people are so open minded that their brains fall out.

    What is Legalism?

    Are you saying once we become saved the Holy Spirit no longer convicts us of sin?

    What is Legalism?

    Legalism is the attempt at earning God's favor through man made ways that God did not prescribe.

    The Gospel is actually good news and here is why.

    Call it mean if you wish. I suppose the Bereans were mean as well?. -. Acts 17:11 NKJV [11] These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.

    You’re on ignore as your excuse is worse than you’re original false charge. You can publicly apologize since you publicly accused.

    The Gospel is actually good news and here is why.

    This is insane. First of all the context of Peter’s statement in 2Pet 3 is prophecy, not justification or sanctification. Secondly, you are playing on the side of the accuser bearing false witness, accusing me of things I never ever said by saying this…”you claim God doesn’t care about your...

    The Gospel is actually good news and here is why.

    Ok you have no Scriptural reference for your previous claim, just logical deductions. Yes when we are born again we have a new heart but yhe carcass of the dying old man follows us to the grave. 2 Corinthians 4:10 (NASB) always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of...

    The Gospel is actually good news and here is why.

    People may use it as an excuse to sin, but that doesn't make it any less true. Basically agree with the rest.
