Some kind of art work to represent The One World Religion, which is waiting back stage so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I think the technology is out there to insert tiny microchips in the body. These microchips could tell almost everything about the individual. They already have these out for pets, in case they get lost. There was some talk a year or two ago about doing the same for babies in case they were kidnapped. Isn't it strange how the world denies the Bible, yet it's doing all in its power to usher in the realities of the book of Revelation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in they got drunk?(do you percieve this as sin from scriptures?) So...Jesus put temptation before the crowd at the wedding? God is not a tempter of man. I think all need to look into the alcohol issue with respect to some serious study. uuuhh yeah they saved the best wine for last. There is absolutely nothing wrong with wine. Drunkeness is called a waste of your life in scripture. But to enjoy yourself at a party....that is living. - Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, it is a Jewish custom to drink wine. I was watching a Jewish show on television and the host was talking about the custom of the bride being visited by the potential bridegroom to ask for her hand in marriage. There is set before them a glass of wine. If the bride drinks from the cup, she is accepting the marriage proposal. I don't know if that's their custom today but it was back then. I think people make a big deal out of things they really don't need to...a glass of wine is not being a drunken slob. Geez...I feel the "legalism" thing again... Man, if you even mention "wine" people try to turn it into a terrible thing, which it isn't. It's no different from sex. God made that, too and made it to be a beautiful thing within the context of marriage but sadly, our fallen world has made a perversion out of that as well. Does everything have to be "evil"? Puleeese! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got them before I became a believer. The star was when I was 16 and quite stoned out of my mind - it was hand-done with a needle and a bottle of india ink by my boyfriend who was equally stoned. Didn't feel a thing and thought it was hilarious. The rose and heart was done summer of 97 - I was 29. It hurt like heck. I don't really regret getting either one. I love the tattoo on my hip - it's beautiful. The only person that sees it is my husband - except for in the summer when I wear my bathing suit. The star tattoo looks like a mole unless you look at it real close. And although I would love to get a cross or a crown of thorns band around my arm, I won't because I believe the Lord would not approve. I have asked for His forgivness for getting them - as I did not know at the time I got them nor was I a believer at the time. If I had known or been a believer I would not have gotten them.

So much so, that anyone who has a tatoo cannot be buried in a Jewish cemetary. I think that goes back to the whole pagan thing that tatoos originated from. The Jews were there through the whole time, watching the idea progress from the pagans in the Bible time that they were forbidden from imitating to the development into the current theme of tatoos.
