do you take certain things out of the bible to make it fit your life? does it make things a little less convicting?
some people do not believe that there is a h.e.l.l. —> i heard today that it was because God is merciful and would not throw someone into hell. however, that is a choice made by men. we are given a choice to follow Jesus… the question is whether we will do so. human beings make the choice to go to heaven or to hell. and who are we to question the all Powerful God?
an arguementcould be raised against me as well. i have a tattoo and plan to get more. in Leviticus 19:28 it says, ”do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the Lord.”
with that said… i can see where people would think that having a tattoo is wrong. however —- i have an arguement —> of course. (: though there are times that i question myself and wonder if i take that scripture out of context to fit my life. …so then i would not feel convicted…. i also realize that my tattoo is used for good. when people see it or ask what it means… i get to explain to them the joy that i feel in knowing that God has set me free —> i can fly and s.a.t.a.n. has no bondage over me. (i have a sparrow on my left wrist)
who are we to say that one person will or will not go to heaven? that is for God to decide. but, i think its ok to continue raising arguements FOR the Kingdom. —>to keep fighting for rightegousness and justice.
