Well let me take a minute and apologize. Usually I try to refrain from "debating" on spiritual issues in a public setting such as aldeer for several reasons, one of which is because it is hard for the reader to hear my heart on an issue, in other words I may come across as condemning when I may be trying to edify. Another reason is because of the vast makeup of the audience, some of which see the debate as 2 folks who just can't get along, and they deal with that everywhere else why would they come to a church to hear it there as well ? This thread had been going a while before I commented on it and my comments were not aimed at ac870 or anyone else other than jono, and if you felt that they were then I am truly sorry and ask your forgiveness. For this i apologize.

In fact, I would have never commented on this thread but would have kept my thoughts to myself, if not for jonos attempt at justifying his actions by negating what GOD has said about the subject. If jono would have just simply told the truth, that he got the tat because he wanted it then I would have kept my mouth shut but he didn't and I didn't. And for this I am not apologetic. GOD is holy, HE expects His people to be holy and His word is not to be compromised.
