>>The OT Law is not a law to us...It is a teacher...We will not go to hell for violating the law..
So that whole “Thou shalt not kill” stuff is merely a suggestion for Christians?
Jews don’t get tattoos. My father got one in the German concentration camps. I could never get one after that.
Those Latins have a way with words.
Most people when they talk doctrine are not really talking doctrine, but culture.
Like wearing a coat and tie to church is important to some people and they will insist on it. That’s not doctrine but some people have elevated it to be a doctrine.
Who cares what Albert Barnes thinks? It’s just his opinion. It would not be difficult to cite other scholars who disagree.
Scholar-shopping is easy but useless.
“Omne papillae pascam vos primus vivificat.”
May I suggest this: $
I think she’s full of herself. I looked on my Christian channels and don’t even see her on there but she may be.
Sorry for your reverse-bias mindset. In fact, Barnes' comments are accepted because, as in this case, his scholarly treatment gives the facts of what a verse says in context.
By contrast, who cares about your opinionated contrariness?
She sounds like a witch with a bee.
She is part of the prosperity gospel movement....among other things.

I believe you have it exactly right, but it isn't just your opinion. God made us/we evolved to be attracted to women just as they are. Women need do nothing to look good. Body modification can only be a negative.
Seems to me, the sexiest a woman can get is when she steps out of the shower. No makeup, no hairstyling and no clothes: That's as good as it gets.
I searched the rest of the thread so far and found post #56, where sasportas wrote,
Meyer is a charismatic. Charismatics, for as long as I can remember, abominated anything that smacked of “doctrine.” They said of those who held to certain doctrines of Christianity, their doctrines were “religious.” This is what Meyer means when she speaks against those who are “religious.”SNIP--
All Meyers is doing is just including tattoos in with what charismatics call “religious,” or “doctrine.” “Religious” is a code word to them, you have to know what they mean by it.
I am not very familiar with those who call themselves charismatics, but there exists a strain within the evangelical world that uses "religion," "religious," and the like as dirty words. (For example, some people will insist that they don't have a "religion" but a "relationship with Jesus.") I can see a germ of truth within that idea, but this usage twists the ordinary usage of the word in a number of ways that sow confusion and cause non-believers to mock those "non-religious" religious people.
Saying things like this which were a commonsense thing at one time, now puts you into a “Basket of Neanderthals”.
Well, all I can say is, bring me some Flintstone meat!
That limbs getting skinny...careful
She's proof that it works...
That’s exactly why I never got one.
As dumb as I was in my 20’s,(left leaning and morally bankrupt) I still knew how that would turn out.
