Convictions

Some people have some convictions over some things others dont. Conviction is defiened by me as a feeling God gives you what is right and wrong for you! In the College dictionary( i cant find the name) its says a conviction is a fixed belief that is pretty secular. Because that definition is basically saying that you believe that is right and or wrong. In that way someone can say that "Oh i my conviction is getting a tatoo" and God says that
"Don't gash your bodies on behalf of the dead.

"Don't tattoo yourselves. I am GOD."



Leviticus 19:28



So there We need to have the convictions and FOLLOW the convictions that God gives us. It is for OUR benefit not ANYONE else.


What are your convictions and what can you say to others around you that do not want to follow the convictions and what is your definition of conviction?

I do not agree with the tattoo thing. The bible says to not mark (or gash as your version said) your self for DEAD people. If gashing were the case, I would be in trouble because I have 7 ear piercings, plan on getting more, and would like to eventually get a tattoo. I dont personally see it as wrong, and as long as I am not dedicating it to a dead person, then I think I am safe.

My biggest deal is homosexuals. I will tolerate them, but I am totally against their lifestyle. I talk to someone last night at church, someone who I thought was a very strong christian, who is for the gay lifestyle. I was shocked. Yes you can have gay people in the church, but PLEASE do not encourage their lifestyle.

And Abortion but I wont getstarted on that one.

Yeah and I hate it when people are Hypocrites <sp?> and they say like "Oh I will never have sex before marriage" Then the next time yall talk they are like yeah. People do NOT stand on what they believe and it takes courage to actually STAY ON THEM. Like these guys at my school are harassing me because I will not date (And Ray, Jason, Todd, and Sarah are about to hurt them) and I just ignore them and it adds fuel to their fire. And I want to give up so much but I will keep pushing on. That wat makes someone stronger by NOT GIVING UP!!!
