(Mighty Bear;26794) We glorify God by keeping His commandments."If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever," (John 14:15-16)"And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of...

This is interesting.

(Jon-Marc;26680) That's not what my friend said. He said, "I rebuke you in the name of Jesus Christ." Whether the man was an unbeliever, possessed or not, or a believer out of God's will, I don't know. Oh I know that, but do you get my point? It's just to say that it's a really sketchy thing to...

Me? No, I'm just saying that arguing that Jesus didn't have tattoos so you shouldn't isn't a purely logical statement. Jesus had aesthetic elements in his everyday life, and if you argue that tattoos are aesthetic, then the aforementioned argument falls apart.

(Unorthodox Christian;26648) Well, for those in advocacy of Tattoos, or the desire to have one, I use Jesus Christ as an example. If Jesus Christ had none of the following should I have it? I've had arguments where people said, well you have a car Jesus didn't have a car. But he had modes of...

(Unorthodox Christian) Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.Leviticus 19:28 Two things: 1) We are no longer mosaic law. 2) It could be argued that this is reference to making marks for the dead. The jews were pretty explicit in...

Hey PariahI guess you were answering my post. I suppose I should have made it apparent and/or clear that I intended to defend HxC music. I’m sorry if anything I said felt like any personal shots. In referencing the Psalm, the conditions for a believer then is different than it is now. David was...

Hey Carissa,I'm really glad that you found comfort and worth in God and in Jesus. It sucks to learn harsh lessons about people attitudes about you at such a young age, but I hope it works to your betterment. I hope you remember that it is God that defines your true worth, and to him you are a...

I don't know Scripture perfectly, but i know enough to get around. If anyone claims to know scripture perfectly, I'd say they are self-absorbed and bloated, full of pride. The Pharisees claimed they fully knew scripture... shows how far that got them.

(Squeak;26393) Generally speaking there are Christian bands in all genres of music but it is up to the listener to discern what songs/bands, in their genre of choice, are appropriate to listen to in order to promote praise and worship to God.So I will not judge any band or listener by their...

To my knowledge, it doesn't exist... nor did I claim it did. I just said that there is a system in place. I did not speak about it's perfection. The idea of the post is just to get people to reflect a little more before claiming demon-possession. I believe possession is possible, but it is for...

Man, that was solid, Pariah.

Hey Pariah,Wow that was a lengthy response. Although, I’m not perfectly convinced you dealt with the issue at hand. Nonetheless, I’m going to consider what you’re saying piece by piece. Please, rest assured, I read your entire post (I may have missed a subtle thing or two, I’m not perfect).First...

I think you guys have me mistaken. I am a convert means that I used to be a Jehovah's Witness but I am no longer one. I am a Christian, convicted and baptized!

No problems, like I said. I'm more likely to let that out around people who speak that "dialect"

I curse and cuss a lot. I'm actually generally vulgar in speech. I can restrain it when I know it offends people. I'm not advocating it's use but at the same time, I'm not condemning myself for it. I grew up in a home where cussing was occasional and in fact is sometimes viewed as humourous and...

Hey Guys,I'm a HUGE fan of HardCore music and I've come to note that over the years that many right-winged christians believe this music is sinful. I've even heard things like "Only praise&worship music" is acceptable. Does anybody else here think that? If so why? What do you define as praise &...

Hey Guys,There are some interesting ideas here about demon possession but I'm not sure if any of them are scripturally correct. I'd like to note that the use of language is not a determining factor in possession. I myself, am admittedly fairly coarse in my language (I drop the F-Bomb among many...

Hey All,My name is Cloakk. I'm here because I'd like to find out more about some faith-related topics. I'm a converted Christian (From the Jehovah Witness') so I've grown up with the idea that the Word of God must be examined and studied, indeed my faith depends on it. At the same time...

Wow, I'm surpised that nothing's been really quoted, cited or proven here. Rebuttals and all are just heresay. Anyways, I'd like to seriously consider (even though I don't believe it) Shelli's standpoint.Shelli, if I may, can you reference the scripture and texts that lead you to this...
