I believe this is just a matter of interpretation. As for the idea that Jesus talked about suffering after death just to fit in with the people's understanding, I find it illogical. There were many times when He said things that others did not understand. I believe He also corrected false...

In Luke 16, Jesus told the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. When both of them died, Lazarus went to be with Abraham and the rich man went to the "place of the dead." Now, no one knows about Hell better than Jesus do, and here we see Him saying that the rich man was in torment. There is even...

I would like to reply to those who believe that Hell is just the grave, and that there is no eternal torment. The spirit is eternal. Even when this physical body dies, the spirit lives on. So where do the non-believers' spirits go? Revelation 20:13-14 states, "The sea gave up its dead, and...

I'm afraid you have missed the point. The point is not that if you do it wrong, The Lord will strike you dead; the point is that you are doing it wrong. David used the wrong method of moving the Ark and the consequence was the death of a man, even though his heart was right. The best way to do...

No one has answered this post of mine yet. :)

As I mentioned earlier, most people take notice of the fact that you have a tattoo, and only some will pay enough attention to the content.

If you don't mind, I'll give the argument that I would use. First, the most important thing to know is 'Why is the Bible true?', because that is the foundation of our faith. Historians may come and say something like this: "There are many historical events which have very few discovered records...

Respectfully, I don't see how having tattoos will help in witnessing, because others will just think, "Hey, you're just like us!" People more often take notice of the fact that you have a tattoo than its image. Also, I'm asking: is it a right way to witness with tattoos? I'm thinking it's like...

Helloooooo, everybody! Here are a few things about myself. Age: 15 Gender: Male Occupation: Student. I want to be a writer. Interests: Apologetics; theology; writing; music (though I hate going to class). Dislikes: Sin; driving around for no reason other than discovering small roads; piano...

Why would you need a tattoo to witness? Strangers who just glance at it may not bother much about it. How about friends? Well, are your actions telling people that you are a Christian, or is that fact so obscure that you need a tattoo? Blessings

No, that's not my point. My point is that we should not live our lives like the world. It is ok to shave, but I believe it's really the heart issue. God bless

Right now I'm thinking of becoming an article writer for certain magazines (who knows what kind of magazines will be there in the future). I would like to work as a freelancer, but I'll probably have to shape up my career first in a newspaper company (I hate writing news reports). I'm not sure...

True

Tristan, I agree with what you are saying. However (I do not mean to say this strongly), I believe that we should not only be "on the attack", but also defend our faith. The Scripture that you have quoted, 1 Peter 3:15, tell us to be prepared to make a defense for our faith. So when others...

You see, when we read God's Word, it is often necessary to understand the context or the reason behind many of the commands. In my Bible, which is the King James Version, the footnote of the verse that tells us not to shave our beards says this: "Like the pagans." This means that God didn't want...

I agree that having tattoos may help us be more approachable. However I do not, in my opinion, believe that that should be the way we witness. I do not believe that it is best for people who desire a better life come to church, only to find that we do things just like them (the way we dress...

I personally do not encourage tattoos because our body is the Temple of God. In Leviticus 19:28, the Bible says, "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord." "What if the image is Godly, or an image of Christ?" you may ask. Well, I...

Thank you. I praise God for putting the right words on my lips and in my heart. Glad I could help.

I believe that the most important "go sign" you should get is God's. If you're planning to take this relationship seriously, you need God's approval and blessing. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to discourage anyone. I'm just, in fact, encouraging you to seek out God's will before you make a...

When I was younger, I wanted to be a scientist, until I found all those long, tongue-twisting scientific terms. Later I wanted to be a philosopher, but kind of knew that I may not have the sufficient interest level to do everything a philosopher does. Right now I'm planning on being a writer...
