Thanks for asking the question It's OK if you think I'm wrong but I will not try to prove anything. I am coming to a point in my walk where I am done arguing with other Christians and their so called Christian liberty, Christians who think that they can get tattoo's, watch Football on the Lord's day, listen to rock music, go to the movies that blaspheme God. I think there is something terribly wrong with their faith.

Not very edifying I know.

Have a good Lord's day,
William



Hi Tom, first off I want you know that I made this post knowing that I was setting myself up for controversy and I acknowledge that it is to his own master that a man standeth or falleth.

Will I provide proof texts for what I have said perhaps, but why bother it will just be given another interpretation under pretence of Christian liberty rather than sanctified common sense based on what is necessarily contained in the Holy Scripture.

Can you or someone else in their own words please explain why a Christian has liberty to:

Watch sports on the Lord's day <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/dizzy.gif" alt="" />

Get a tattoo <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/scratch1.gif" alt="" />

Listen to rock music <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/nope.gif" alt="" />

Go to movies that blaspheme God <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/nono.gif" alt="" />

What do those things have to do with the matter at hand?

Like I said before, I believe everything should be judged on its own merit.
For instance, there are people that say all forms of drinking are sin, but is that biblical? I think the Bible is quite clear that it isn't. But if you try to tell them that and use the Bible to show that even Jesus drank wine and they will almost accuse you of blasphemy.
This is an example of why I like to judge each matter on its own merits.

I can respect you for your stand on this particular issue and still disagree. But, I can't respect your taking a stand on the issue at hand and question others walk with the Lord, before you have established it biblically.

I have been a Christian for long enough to realize that each and every one of us are in different points in our walk with the Lord. As the Lord sheds light to an area, the obedient Christian walks into that light.
However, I have also found that even among the most loyal followers of the Lord, there are going to be disagreements.

In those cases, I think it is best just to obey what you believe is biblical and not judge our brothers and sisters harshly.

Tom
