Bible Note: Edb - Something we can agree on -- the church HAS been way too lax in MANY areas. I will not state which issues those are, for fear of setting off another hail storm of argument. --- However let me sum up by saying this: Jesus Christ was NOT politically correct, and so neither do I seek to be. A politically correct, post-modernist church is an ugly thing to behold. I have to viemently agree to disagree with you on your last point however. Because I believe it is a view that would chase non-christians away and earn us a milstone around our neck. You can NOT take a piercing or a tatoo as a "CLUE TO WHERE THAT PERSON'S HEART IS" and declare that it means "THEIR HEARTS CERTAINLY AREN'T ON THINGS ABOVE (in Heaven)." My God! I believe you are sincere, but I also believe you are sincerely wrong! Please! I impolore you! - Read Psalm 139:23-24 and ask God Himself to examine you. Have a good pow wow with Him about presuming you can judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart based on outward appearances alone! May He help you to reconcile your passion for righteousness (a very good thing) with His passion for the "untouchables" of this world. (a very divine thing) Love to you - Sang |
