    Disinfectant...

    Usually with the flu, moving into warmer weather seems to disarm it. But look at Italy, most of the country was in the 70's last month. The lower to middle of the country is on the Mediterranean sea. One would have thought that their severe COVID-19 problem would have cleared up by now if heat...

    Disinfectant...

    NBC fake news. Doctors use poisons to kill cancer cells. Trump only suggested that there "may" be a possible avenue to poison a virus! That someone should drink Lysol or other cleaning fluids is the invention in the mind of Morons that seek propaganda and not truth!

    I note that Brother Copeland and Jesse Duplantis is on the minds of some here.

    The tactic of working on the emotions and fears of people to silence their criticism is Demagoguery. Such responses may silence and scare the gullible who will take this dogmatic confidence to be the equivalent of being right, but perhaps H. L. Mencken was correct when he defined a demagogue as...

    CORRUPT BIBLES WHICH ARE SENDIND PEOPLE 2 HELL!!

    Deborah, you are correct. The spotlight that they shine the beam onto so-called "corrupt versions" is never equally applied to the King James Bible. What they use is "criticism" and not "critical thinking."

    I see that Benson had some very good comments on this passage. I should look at his comments more often.

    Forsaken

    It's almost the Muslim and Gnostic view. Jesus spiritual side left the man side (or some other human victim) to be separated from God. As if we could separate Jesus the God-man from Himself. His mortal body was not just some unessential shell to be discarded when it became inconvenient.

    Poll: Does the mainstreaming of tattoos open up increasing opportunities for faith ink witness?

    People today kill their own children, it is what people do, now. No judgment; it is the new "normal"! Right?

    Forsaken

    He sure did! God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself... that is what Scripture says. If God is One, a Unity and we do not believe in Tri-Theism... Three God's instead of One, then you cannot divide one person of this Trinity and still have God. God is One. "My God, my God, why hast...

    Forsaken

    "God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself." 2 Cor. 5:19 There was no separation or division of God on the cross, just a united purpose of saving mankind. Jesus didn't experience "the same separation" that our sins do. The wages of sin is death... eternal separation from God. God is...

    Fear God or Presume acceptance

    I see that you like Ephesians! Let's allow Paul to explain what he thinks this "workmanship" is, and what it results in! 1Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; 2and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a...

    The design on your arm faded? Have you considered Providence?:) (Just teasing- have a blessed day!)

    Fear God or Presume acceptance

    One cannot be "in Christ" and continue in the flesh. Yes, we are not God, we are still in human form, in that sense we are still "flesh", yet not all flesh is = sin or sinfulness. God's qualm is not in how He made us, but in our rebellion to Him and our bent to sinning. "And the Word became...

    Poll: Does the mainstreaming of tattoos open up increasing opportunities for faith ink witness?

    You keep appealing to this anecdotal example. While that which is true, works; not everything that works is true. I know a lot of heathens with tattoos... that were equally committed to endure the pain of injections; probably even more than this lady. They have almost their entire body inked...

    Poll: Does the mainstreaming of tattoos open up increasing opportunities for faith ink witness?

    You are correct that the passage in Leviticus prohibits tightly-shaved haircuts and trimming the beard. Certainly different than what most 20th century Christians imaged as the ideal "clean-looking Christian" man! The admitted difficulty of tattoos being paired in this verse with beard trimming...

    Poll: Does the mainstreaming of tattoos open up increasing opportunities for faith ink witness?

    Symbols are useful in culture. Symbols in art were used to convey truths to the viewers, most of whom were illiterate. The symbols gave meaning to the paintings. It is questionable as to whether our bodies should be a canvass. Scrawling Bible verses on our skin is not Scriptural; "Do not cut...

    Poll: Does the mainstreaming of tattoos open up increasing opportunities for faith ink witness?

    In the Boxing World you occasionally see the fighters back used as a billboard for “Golden Palace.” I guess that it is effective to a point because I remember it! My view of the Golden Palace, though I have never been there, is negative because of the crass and blatant advertising. "Your...

    What can I trust most in the translations of the Bible?

    The Western varies a lot, the Alexandrian not near as much. ALL text-types have variations, including the Byzantine text-type. The facts are, the Byzantine text is late, by hundreds of years. The Alexandrian Text was the text "received by all" for at least 400 years because the Byzantine Text...

    I don't care what tattoo one gets, it spells out "Bad Judgement" to me. It cannot add to your "witness." When I see a tattoo I see shallowness, "look at me!" a "me too" attitude or weak-mindedness. In the military I saw others get unit tattoos because of peer-pressure or a pathetic effort to...
