I guess my question about Leviticus 19 would be, in the same passage it seems to say about not trimming one's beard; do preachers shave? or maybe there is a different emphasis there. I guess I would make a difference between Old Testament Jews in the land under the law and New Testament...

People talk about Manisnowba, Canada; and there must be a similar name for Montana... :)

@Prayer Warrior So does the parakeet sing for you most mornings? :)

@Mayflower: Yes, I guess Colorado is a similar Western state in the Rockies; without the air pollution over Denver! :)

We are baptised because we have faith and a good conscience, not in order to become believers.

Thanks to all who voted so far in the poll! If anyone has not yet voted in the poll, please vote now! :)

My wife and I talked to a young lady with the whole of John 3.16 tattooed on her wrist area; it was her favorite Bible verse and mine also; and I'm sure other conversations have arisen as a result of her willingness to undergo the ink needling. She seemed to have had it done with conviction...

Personality and Deity are both attributed gloriously to the Son, but they are indeed distinct.

I strongly disagree with you. Romans 8 says, If any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His. When we were born again, this was spiritual, not physical. And it's the blood of Christ by faith through the eternal Spirit (Hebrews 9) that purges sins, not the baptismal tank.

Tattoos used to have a male, tough guy image, but this has changed immensely; it still does with some wearers but not remotely with all. (Although it could also be said that since 59%-70% or more of parlor clients in North America are female, according to statistics, women are evidently...

It's Scriptural, period. And I don't see the point of arguing.

FYI: @Jane_Doe22

@Jane_Doe22 FYI: Just a thought: it may be that keeping earlobes bare will sometimes be regarded as an act of fashionable, avant-garde minimalism, don't you think? (such is the widespread custom of wearing multiple earrings/studs among wearers of all ages that it is completely mainstream and...

Acts 2.38 does not teach that one becomes baptised in order to become saved, or in order to receive forgiveness. It refers to doing so on account of the fact that through faith one's sin's are forgiven. Salvation is a work of Father, Son and Holy Spirit, all in concert: the middle chapters of...

It's probably the most amazing US state that I've been to. Mountain wilderness and clear water and air. Wide open spaces. What a glorious Creator we have! :)

I don't agree: because in John 3.16, God sent His beloved Son Who already and always was. John 1.14 describes the One Whose glory at His incarnation was 'as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth', clear qualities of One Who enjoyed eternal deity.

Father, Son and Holy Spirit are clearly mentioned over and over in many New Testament passages (Matt. 28, John 13 thru 17, John's First Epistle, Romans 8, etc.).

I guess I should also start a thread on Montana...

I don't agree with this statement; the Son always was. He is eternal: 'Unto the Son he saith: Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever' (Hebrews 1.8).

It's possible to "do" a number of New England states all in one trip, although really to get to know even one of them really well can take a lot time. Although I do admit to liking Montana a great deal, New England scores highly also...
