Dear Cheri, I pray that your health is progressing sactisfactorily and it is good to see you post with good spirit. I think you have made a pretty good advice to Keliy for Hebrew communication via private email instead of on a public English speaking forum :-) If I would have met any forum user who can speak my native tongue, I, too, will be tempted to communicate in phonetic symbols for Chinese :-) Well then, I would need to remind myself about "self-control" (the fruit of the Holy Spirit).

1743 | How to accept a gay relative | 1 Cor 6:9 | azurelaw | 201669 | ||
Dear Brad, May I throw a bit of my thought here. There were 2 groups of sinners (allow me to put it this way) I see in Jesus' time: One group contained those who were despised, rejected or even cursed by those religious leaders and the other people. I believe those sinners knew of their inferior situation by the condemnation of the Pharisees' for what they had done. "...for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin."(Rom 3:20) Then they were in need of the Gospel (Jesus). Thus we did not see Jesus rebuking them but exercising His love and compassion onto them. The other group was the Pharisees or likewise who did not regard themselves as sinners but righteous. They were blind, stonehearted. Thus Jesus rebuked them for their great sin. Yet, Jesus still died for them. Therefore, I still can see how it works with the Law and Gospel. Just my 2 cents :-) Shalom Azure |

1744 | homosexual brain wired that way at birth | 1 Cor 6:9 | azurelaw | 205768 | ||
Dear Quvmoh, Thank you for the fine post. If you have done a search with "homosexual" on the forum, you will notice that over the years the topic has been discussed many many many times. I always wonder why people (even some Christians) continuously try to reasonalize the behaviour with different views (e.g. psychology, science, humanism, etc.) of the secular world despite there is very clear scriptural teachings against it. People in my society say that "If you truly love me, you should accept what I do and who I am." I don't know if it is the same as in your society. If this is the kind of love we want from our God - it is disastrous. When we speak out that homosexual is wrong, immediately, we are criticized and charged as being self-righteous, unloving and judgmental. Jesus said that from the fruit, you can tell the tree. Same as every Christian, when a gay converted to Christ, he/she has to bear fruit. We could never be perfect in our earthly life, but we can strive to bear fruit. In Galatian, the fruit of the Holy Spirit does not state : perfect or holy...but SELF-CONTROL. Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, Gal 5:23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Just to share a bit of my view. Thank you for your patience :-) Shalom Azure |

Dear Adam's son aka writteninthebook aka Paul, Thank you for your prayer and it is much appreciated indeed :-) I don't want to be rude, but you should see how confusing and combersome the way to address you :-( It is for sure we all enjoy fellowship, breaking bread and learning with each other on the forum and I value it preciously. However, I do really hope that in order to show your integrity and sincerity, kindly explain to us the reason that you hold 2 user accounts on the forum - a clear violation to the Term of Use. Amen, to God be the glory with our words and deeds. Speaking the truth in love and Shalom Azure |

1750 | is a christian allowed to drink | 1 Cor 6:10 | azurelaw | 213549 | ||
Dear Brother Doc, not addicted to wine or pugnacious, but gentle, ... (1 Tim 3:3) This verse on my Chinese bible renders the idea that "addicted to wine" is the cause of pugnacious, which, if I rewrite it into English, it reads : Not to be trouble making for the cause of wine. When comparing the 2 tranlsations (English and Chinese), it seems to me that there is difference between them and the Chinese version could probably be mistranslated (but not sure since I know the Chinese version was translated base not only on the English version, but widely and mainly on German and Greek). I think it would be helpful to check on the Greek version. Shalom Azure |

1752 | Is being drunk a sin? | 1 Cor 6:10 | azurelaw | 238680 | ||
Dear Ichoose, Welcome to the forum. Of course it is not an appropriate answer to the question, because Eph 8:15 does not exist :-) I think you meant Eph 5:18 which on the contrary a teaching of Paul's about pursuing holiness. I would also suggest another verse concerning the problem of drunkenness - 1 cor 6:10. Shalom Azure |

1754 | 'virgin' after oral sex? | 1 Cor 6:18 | azurelaw | 178580 | ||
Dear Jandac, I believe you know quite well whether or not you are a virgin. By physical (worldly) definition - I would say yes. However, do you think God's standard is same as the world's? If so, why ask? If not, why ask for definition? What the Lord asks of us is very clear in the Bible as Steve and Joanna have posted. Didn't Jesus say : Then give Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's (Luke 20:25). Are you the world's? or Are you God's? If you are seeking biblical advice: repent, and do not do it again (Jesus has taught us how to pray - ... lead us not into TEMPTATION, but deliver us from evil...) Speaking the truth in love Azure |

Dear Grace, As far as I can recall, there is no such notion in the scriptures as you indicated. However, in 1 Cor 6:18, Paul talked about immorality or loosen sexuality is worse than other sin for believers' bodies are the temple of God. Shalom Azure |

Dear Chosen, Welcome to the forum. Yes, we are under grace but it does not mean that we can do whatever we want (Rom 5:20-6:23). But I am not saying that putting on tattoos is sin. Perhaps you may find the below helpful to you. http://www.gotquestions.org/tattoos-sin.html http://www.gotquestions.org/Christian-tattoos.html Shalom Azure |

1758 | Is tattoos acceptabe as christians | 1 Cor 6:19 | azurelaw | 215285 | ||
Dear Chosen, I would suggest you do a bit of searching by typing the post # 9741 and scroll down to the bottom of the page. It will lead you to the past discussion on Leviticus 19:28. My quick and preliminary reading find that some of the posts provided some historical background concerning the law given to the Israelite. I believe they are helpful for your understanding of Lev 19:28 and its application. Whether it is sin or not, I believe it depends on our motive of such behaviour. The 2 articles in the link I gave you earlier have addressed this point I think. Some years ago I was told (but still need verification) that tattooing was pretty much common in the army as it served the function of personal identification for the victims at war in the old time since soldiers could be blown into pieces that beyond recognition. Shalom Azure |

1759 | Is tattoos acceptabe as christians | 1 Cor 6:19 | azurelaw | 215288 | ||
Hi again, Chosen: Here's what I've just got from wikipedia : "Tattoos are sometimes used by forensic pathologists to help them identify burned, putrefied, or mutilated bodies. Tattoo pigment is buried deep enough in the skin that even severe burns will often not destroy a tattoo. Because of this, many members of today's military will have their identification tags tattooed onto their chests or ribs (these are sometimes known as "meat tags" in the American armed forces). For many centuries seafarers have undergone tattooing for the purpose of enabling identification after drowning. In this way recovered bodies of such drowned persons could be connected with their family members or friends before burial. Therefore tattooists often worked in ports where potential customers were numerous. The traditional custom continues today in the Royal Navy (Great Britain) and in many others." Shalom Azure |

Dear MJH, Thank you. I don't agree to it either. Most of us, like you and I, are living in a quite stable environment where we seldom face extreme challenges. I view those (soldiers, sailors or the like) putting on tattoo (hidden under clothes) for the purpose of forensic pathologists are doing it out of love and not pride. If they are not doing this for serving idols or showing pride, I don't think we should judge their such behaviour sinful. Another example I got from a speaker who once said about a case - a christian widow worked as a prostitute in a very very poor country. Her father was a long-time patient who needed considerable medical care and her children were still very young. No jobs were provided. What could she do to care for her family with basic need (food and medicine) but selling her own body? She came up to the speaker and asked him "am I a sinner as a prostitute?" Every time when I think of this case, I could not hold my tears. God knows our motives and our hearts. Just a bit of my sharing. Shalom Azure |
