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

    Yes, history is history, and is not always a good guide as to how one should act today. We should learn from our history and not blindly follow it down the same destructive pathway.

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

    I can justify any behaviour or activity, but whether or not it is justifiable before God is another matter altogether. If my behaviour or activity becomes a stumbling block for others, then I should consider whether or not it is justifiable before God. The question is still, "Where is the line...

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

    If you worked in a tattoo parlour and were a "christian," where do you draw the line as to what tattoos you will do and not do? How long would your tattoo parlour be able to keep the doors open, before you go broke, because you turn away paying customers because of the tattoos they want you to...

    Late Night Thread...

    Hello, In Australia a cockatoo is slang for "a lookout to warn bad people" when the "law" is coming so that the bad people can escape from the consequences of their inappropriate behaviour. But then cockatoos are a very noisy bird that make too much noise such that the "bad people" become...

    Where do people go when they die?

    I am with you, because in the creation story, we are not told how long man was designed to live, except that we are told that they lived for a long period of time. It is good to see you back. There are so few people on this forum who can put their laughing matter to good use.

    Nation born in a day in 1948?

    The references to where any of the above people have presented what you are referring to in your OP would be appreciated. I will not troll through hours of sermons trying to find where they may have made a comment about Israel's return to the Land of Canaan. So the ball is in your court...

    Nation born in a day in 1948?

    Many commentaries combine Genesis 15:14 and 15:16 claiming that both of these verse are speaking of the same time. I have no problem if you believe that, but first before you present your understanding please make sure that you are on a solid base. Judah has returned, to the Land of Canaan...

    Nation born in a day in 1948?

    @dad, You are right, God told Abraham in Genesis 15:16 that his descendants will return to the land of Canaan in their own strength. Here is the passage which contains three separate prophecies, 1. Concerning the nation of Israel becoming slaves in Egypt and that God will bring them out...

    Rapture 2021: The Shepherd and the Lamb

    No. It is simply a desire to escape God's wrath by claiming that you are righteous and that you should not be refined in the fire to come as you believe that there is no need for that for you.

    "I quite like males with earrings": a low-key, respectful discussion

    But this verse is talking about ownership and the means of identifying that the person is a servant for life with this master. It has nothing to do with earrings, nor does it justify the use of earrings. Do you need a stray bail to find the right straw to justify the context that you are...

    "I quite like males with earrings": a low-key, respectful discussion

    How about "digging" out the wax from our ears so that we can hear better. Biblehub suggest that the Hebrew word used in this verse is the only occurrence in the OT. A portion snipped from the screen: - Your understanding may not be in line with the context of the verse in which this Hebrew...

    "I quite like males with earrings": a low-key, respectful discussion

    Yes, Ps 40 is clear that it does not speak of ear piercing, in verse 6, but it does speak of having our ears cleaned out, by God, so that we can hear God's voice and understand his message to us as His Saints. God requires our hearts, not sacrifices and burnt offerings: - Psalm 40:6: -...

    Really, I am not like that at all.

    General talk about the Kingdom of God

    Without having read the rest of the thread, Scripture tells us to test all things to see if they are of God. If they are of God, take their counsel, if the are not of God, rebuke them and tell them to leave you and to go to the place where they are to await the time of their punishment. All...

    Covid-19 Vaccines: have you had a jab?

    I was responding to what was being said, i.e. "If the vaccines are so effective, then why is the covid virus still here????" The logic presented was flawed in that post and was presenting a false claim. That was all I was highlighting. Your response to my comments is presenting a context...

    Covid-19 Vaccines: have you had a jab?

    You are being a bully and troll when you make illogicsl statements like this.

    Covid-19 Vaccines: have you had a jab?

    No one but the anti vaxxers are creating a problem for these vaccines. It seems that you have an axe to grind and you want all of the other members to hear your complaints about everything that you disagree with. Your rebuttal is illogical and not worth the effort that you spent composing it.

    Covid-19 Vaccines: have you had a jab?

    I wonder why, if the chicken pox vaccine are so effective, that the chicken pox virus is still here? I wonder why, if the mumps vaccines are so effective, that the mumps virus is still here? We have a troll, who accuses others of being trolls, posting false information on this forum. Telling...

    I Need My Brothers and Sister to Pray For Me

    Please read all of my post and what I prayed for you. It may then make some sense for you. In praying for others i mke it a habit not to act God like by telling God what He should do for you. That is His business, and not my business to tell him. Shalom
