I was reading online this morning about tattoos and the still yet ongoing debate about whether Christians should have them or not and it really struck me that there are so many scriptures quoted and used as doctrine, but are out of context and actually misused much like Leviticus 19:28. There are many things that I don't necessarily support, but are used to imprison God's people in a framework that is designed around the opinions of one person or a small group to suit their needs. This is not how the Bible should be used and interpreted because it ultimately causes division in the body of Christ. I'd like to take some time and review some really big scriptures used that are out of context, but should be between you, God and no one else. Leviticus 19:28 - Tattoos If we were to read the entire chapter we will see that this verse in a long list of do's and don't was referring to the actions that the Canaanites did as the Israelites were conquering their land. Eve...
Today a non-scripture laden post in favor of just us chatting with each other... There are many times where we as Christians run low on our faith. There are many times when we as people even question if God is actually out there looking out for us and actually listening to us. I've been there too and trust me it is not an easy feeling. Many times when we are going through a storm it seems that no matter how much we pray, fast or praise and worship the answers don't seem to be flowing from Heaven and nor does the relief of our struggles. Many times we get to the end of our ropes and hold on by a ripping fiber ready to plunge into the abyss and wonder "Why aren't you listening God? Don't you see that I am about to die???" The truth be told? God is listening and He is caring and He is for you and not against you. It seems hard because we expect the Heavenly Hosts to swoop in with 10,000 angels and the Hand of God pointing two fingers at you saying "Thou ...
A good question that has been plaguing many Christians and truth seekers for so many years. There are so many false doctrines and unscriptural practices out there that are parading themselves as the truth that many who are seeking God run into these counterfeits or people who have no idea why they believe what they believe. My prayer is that this blog will begin the process of getting people to seek God on their own and ask Him for the answer they seek versus a man or woman who is interpreting what God said to them. The goal of this blog is to not bash or trash anyone and their beliefs. You can freely seek God in any way that you wish. However, according to the Bible there is only one way to Heaven and that is through Our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. According to Acts 2:38 we must be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. We must follow Romans 10:9-10 and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and that He is risen from the dead and then we shall be saved. It is ...
