    TWO GOSPELS PREACHED

    I agree with what you posted here. And this is just my opinion based on my scripture reading, but it would appear that the Law (and the man-made Temple laws) took precedence over the Gospel, which provided the perfect timing for Jesus to make his Earthly appearance. The world needed to be...

    Poll: Best age for first tattoo?

    In my oldest daughter's case, it was completely a matter of self-expression. My wife did hers as a tribute to her aunt since her aunt loved butterflies. They had their tattoos for a few years before I got mine. I wasn't that interested in one at the time, and I wanted to do one that was...

    Poll: Best age for first tattoo?

    I sure did! I just voted about 10 minutes ago.

    Are Pastors Teaching a Watered-Down Gospel?

    The biggest problem with churches in the US is that the focus is on numbers (i.e., how many folks can we get in the seats) vice focusing on Christ and the Gospel. A couple of months ago, I read Francis Chan's Letters To The Church, and it was quite eye-opening. I felt like he was describing my...

    meme dump!

    LOL I love when they say, "Don't take (insert drug name here) if you're allergic to the ingredients of (same drug name)." As if we know the ingredients in those! o_O

    Poll: Best age for first tattoo?

    That's true - they had their tattoos before I ever got mine.

    Trump is the worst President to hold this office

    Maybe the illuminati is given way too much credit? Daniel 2:21 (ESV) - "He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding" Romans 13:1 (ESV) - "Let every person be subject to the governing authorities...

    Oh that game of thrones!

    True. I'm just glad to have only watched the show and not WORKING on the show. Everybody involved put in an unbelievable amount of hours into making those episodes.

    Poll: Best age for first tattoo?

    My oldest daughter has multiple tattoos. My wife has a butterfly on the top of her foot as a tribute to her aunt who died of brain cancer at a young age. My youngest daughter has no desire to get a tattoo. Both of my daughters are adults, by the way.

    Poll: Best age for first tattoo?

    No, not really. I get compliments on the coloring of my tattoo, though - the artist did a really nice job on that. I have a cousin, who is a militant atheist, that finds my tattoo completely disgusting. On the other hand, he's disgusted that I went from atheism to Christianity LOL

    Amos 3.3, a thoughtful verse: "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?"

    Interestingly, in 1 Peter, Peter gives advice to wives that are married to non-believers or those who aren't completely obedient. 1 Peter 3:1-2 (ESV) - "Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of...

    Poll: Best age for first tattoo?

    I got a tattoo back in '08. It's a cross on my forearm with a banner that has my daughter's names in it. It's the only one I have and I don't plan to get another one. That tattoo was rather painful.

    Are You Saved Because You Believe OR Do You Believe Because You Are Saved?

    I absolutely believe that I was saved because I believed.

    Oh that game of thrones!

    Sorry for the delayed response, Butterfly! Unlike a lot of people, I wasn't disappointed with the final season or the final episode. I thought it ended pretty well, and you can tell they wrote the ending to create spin-off possibilities. Whether those materialize or not remains to be seen...

    Defending Homosexuality

    The issue here isn't whether or not homosexual activity is a sin. Scripture makes it absolutely clear that homosexual activity is a sin. The issue is that homosexuality is waved like a flag by a lot of Christians as the worst of the worst of sins. And yes, Leviticus 18:22 does point that...

    Will the Anti-Christ come from Canada?

    I don't see the AntiChrist coming from Canada. I don't believe the AntiChrist apologizes for anything! :D

    The left behind

    They'll continue to post on social media about cultural appropriation LOL

    Will the Anti-Christ come from Canada?

    While I realize that Nickelback is from Canada, that doesn't mean Anti-Christ will be from Canada LOL

    MetalMike's Testimony (Mike)

    I grew up in an abusive family and come from a long line of alcoholics and addicts. There was a lot of physical and psychological abuse growing up (and I'm not counting the spankings I got for misbehaving). I was made to feel worthless and useless from the repeated names I was called by my...
