Leviticus 19:27, Cortex – “You shall not shave around the sides of your heads, neither shall you disfigure the corners of your beard.” Where’s YOUR beard, dude?
1 Corinthians 6:19-2019 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
Some years ago my young nephew told me that getting tattoos broke one of the commandments. Oh, really, I asked. Which one?He replied: thou shalt not decorate thy body. LOL
I don’t know my scriptures as well as some of the other Gil followers here, but is there one that accounts for the apparent banishment of Marshall Lopat, because he hasn’t been seen since the first week of December?
A true follower of Christ will not bring a case of beer to a super bowl party being given by a recovering alcoholic. On the other hand a recovering alcoholic invited to a super bowl party must expect that beer may be consumed. With tattoos one guy is decorating his body with a cross to show honor and glory to Christ, good for him, it is his walk with Christ. Another dude may not consider a tattoo as glorifying to Christ that is ok too. We all have our own personal relationship with Christ, and we please Him as He leads us to.
All I know is that Jesus turned water into wine at the wedding of Cana for attendees to drink, so for Christians drinking shouldn’t be so bad. Yet there are many Christians who state that the scriptures tell them not to drink. I guess there is a scripture for anything. No tats? Sure. No drinking? Maybe. Luckily bacon is still OK.
If you think Leviticus 19 is full of tough rules, just keep reading into Leviticus 20 where you have to kill your own children if they curse you (which I am pretty sure would leave most parents of teenagers in a pretty tough spot!)
In P1 – Cortez obvioulsy busted his right hand against the rim or backboard because its swelling up, and so he has to wear a ‘Wonder Woman’ bracelet to keep the swelling from extending up his arm.
The prohibition on alcohol for Christians primarily comes from certain sects that operate on the principle “if it’s pleasurable, it must be sinful.”Drinking alcohol, smoking, dancing, non liturgical music, sex (other for reproduction),……..
The Shakers didn’t even believe in sex for reproduction. they danced (shook) until exhaustion to ward off sexual urges. I guess it largely worked as they died out fairly quickly. Too bad, they made interesting furniture.

I hope Cortez doesn’t quote Leviticus to his mother and banish her when it’s that time of the month.

When will Ransom & Beecher meet? Will Ransom discredit Beecher in some way? Cortez seems to be an impediment to Ransom’s growing business.

Sounds like Beecher needs to distinguish between Law and Gospel.

What’t the point of the towels if they’re just going to walk around with them on their necks and not actually use them to dry off any of the water?
