    The Trinity definition

    I never even heard of modalism until I read here in one of your posts. I looked up the definition and it's peculiar, but though I believe in the doctrine of 3 distinct persons my brain doesn't distinguish between them. I don't commonly pray to the Holy Spirit, but generally to the Father, yet...

    So you don't, then?

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

    I was talking about dispensationalism, not about doing things that would've cut us off from Israel if we were under law.

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

    I'd rather not discuss subjects that lead to one of the participants sinning against another. Unfortunately, on an ecumenical site that seems nearly impossible, but I could never accept a racist doctrine as coming from our God, who is no respecter of persons. It definitely tends to make my brain...

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

    FYI to avoid bad feelings between kindred I'll advise you that I equate dispensationalism with racism and I'm sure that I'm not unique in that.

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

    Looks like most the votes are either to ignore it or embrace it. I can tell you with a high degree of certainty that those who voted to embrace it have tattoos and don't want to be looked down upon because of it (or a close relationship with someone who does,) and those who say to ignore it are...

    Good, wonderful, but what exactly is your point? You're not trolling here as Jaybird, are you? Have an issue with the doctrine of the second birth? I don't recall casting aspersions on your testimony, but if I did, then I apologize for it and ask your forgiveness. That happens a great deal on...

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

    Yes, but you didn't answer the question. That's ok, I'm pretty sure that everyone will know the answer in less than 60 years and quite possibly a lot sooner. It's nothing to loose any sleep over, because our Omnipotent God is able to protect and preserve His own whether we float away while the...

    Well, that's good, happy to hear it, but it's jaybird that I'm questioning, because he's the one that's denying what scripture plainly says. Do you believe that scripture is the word of God and cannot be broken? Do you accept some of it and disregard the rest because it doesn't make sense to...

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

    Ok, but let me ask you, how many churches are there? Or perhaps I should say, how many bodies of Christ to be more accurate, church is really too generic. Who are the saints executed in the tribulation that continue sharing the gospel and calling upon the world to repent and what church do they...

    The Trinity definition

    You raise people from the dead, cleanse lepers, open the eyes of the blind, or the mouthes of mutes? Walk on water lately? Fast for 40 days in the wilderness? Turn water into wine or multiply bread and fish to feed multitudes? In what way do you "follow the example" of God incarnate? I don't...

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

    It's been my experience that the only people actually interested in things Christian are other Christians, or religious people that fancy themselves as Christian because of their religion. The world hates Christianity and tends to see us as crazy people who cause trouble or are secretly doing...

    The Trinity definition

    I'm sorry but you seem to be a bit insane. You're arguing from fallacious assumptions about what the saints believe and I've never met a saint that believes that the law was abolished. Did you read that somewhere or is it just another evil imagining of a carnal mind?

    No, the Dead Sea scrolls aren't ashes, but either old scrolls that were retired or scrolls with more than 2 or 3 errors. There's more than one good book written about them, and the books say the exact opposite of what you've stated. Since burning them would leave no long term trace that they...

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

    Every choice we make is supposed to be by faith so if I'd gotten a tattoo it would've been faith based, but even though we aren't under law, the law is supposed to reflect God's desire for His people so I don't really believe a forbidden thing can be faith based of itself.

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

    Well, as I said before tattoos are permanent unless you want to pay a physician to remove them. I thought about it once, but then I thought better and decided it wasn't appropriate for me. I've had some skin lesions removed, but other than that I'd prefer to meet the Lord face to face with the...

    Ok, thanks. I'm trying to resurrect the spiritually dead, but it's not really in my power to do so. I've just been doing some goading to an almost saint, to try and break through the blinders, but I've found nothing more difficult than overcoming self righteousness. Jesus was hated and condemned...

    The Trinity definition

    Kinda think the trinity is rather simple to comprehend if you can accept Einstein's physics. God the Father is eternal Spirit and the Father of all spirits, existing outside of time, a physical part of creation, Jesus, the Son of God, is the eternal Son of God being a tabernacle of sorts for the...

    That's what I said. Are you looking for another birth?
