Madonna used to wear crosses all the time... Should we throw away our crosses as assume the worst about people who wear crosses?
:confused:
I think Mr. Curtis looks scary with his stay-cool haircut, but that doesn't mean he's a bad guy. :D

:confused: </font>[/QUOTE]I hope you are not calling me a liar. When I made the first post, I was in error, sorry.</font>[/QUOTE]Nope, I'm stating the facts of both posts.
I can understand if you made an error... we all make errors. Since you made an error on your son's age at the time of the incident, do you think you could possibly have made an error in your interpretation of the incident?
(I'm just trying to see how open-minded you are to reconsidering your position. ) -
Is that the NKJV? As Gina asked below, was that symbol good at one time?
I guess the guy sticking out his tongue is trying to eat or talk right?
It being in the Hard Rock Cafe is to me wrong. Do you see it displayed in church?
I thought this was funny. Sorry if I offended you.
Again, when I saw the scripture of silver and gold, I also saw this from the website and thought it was funny/interesting. Sorry I offended you.
This is my thought on this:
1 Thessalonians 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.
As Gina said, "they look scary." -

P.S. It still happens. -
Gina, here is a site that talks about the symbol and the group P.O.D.

HomeBound, that is interesting, but I would have to say I seriously doubt the group's true intention with the symbol was to knowingly use it for wrong purposes. I'd give them the benefit of the doubt until they made a claim that said otherwise. Like I said before, I'm not for this type of music, but sites like this that get hysterical and see groups they don't agree with as purposely promoting some type of Satanism are out of line. There is nothing about the group on this site apart from their use of this symbol, which Christians use often without understanding what else it also signifies, and definitely without the intention of promoting that significance.

I am not saying that the members of POD partake in satanism. I am saying that I believe that their music and those like it are the spirit work of the antichrist. Not everyone that sings about Jesus is of Jesus.
When the high priest came to get Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane, Peter smote the high priests servants ear. You know the story, Jesus healed the servants ear. Did Peter have the right motive for cutting the ear of this servant? Yes he did, but it was not God's will. Using this analogy, we can have the right motive, but be way out of line with God's will.
I for one believe that Peter was aiming for the head and not the ear. Boy would that have been a miracle to see Him put the head of the servant back on him. I guess I will have to ask Peter when I get to Heaven if that was what he was aiming for. -
LOL Homebound! Burning question...must see Peter...

When I read the band in question here I had to laugh. Audio Adrelean is not hard rock, not even close to it.

Is too!

Sloppy research from HomeBound:
Also, look at the symbol under the drums, beside the singers right leg. Looks like a 666 sign. Hmmm!
Rule of thumb: Any factual claims followed up by "Hmmm!" are probably specious.
The symbol in question is a triquetra. It is a Celtic knot, an abstract piece of ornamental artwork, that was co-opted by early Christian missionaries to Britain to teach the concept of the Trinity: the three arcs representing the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, interlocked to symbolize the unity of the Godhead.
The triquetra as a symbol predates the use of arabic numerals by several centuries. A "6-6-6" figure simply did not exist; the Number of the Beast would have been expressed in writing either in Roman numerals (DCVI) or, presumably, runes. -
Is the symbol today associated with evil?

Had to zap the provocation. Sorry. ;)

So I guess the answer is YES. Then, why would anyone associate themselves with evil, especially a Christian?
-
I don't know about POD being satanic, but aren't they Rastafarians? Their liberal use of the word, "Jah," meaning God, would seem to indicate this.
Check out this link for some funky Jah Rastafarian stuff. Oh, by the way, they believe some dead Ethiopian emporer is the new Messiah to take Jesus' place.

The answer is NO unless you want to be one of those people who insist on labeling what is good as evil.
Why do you insist on associating them with evil?
The symbol you assumed was a “666” is a symbol for the Trinity that is used on many New King James bibles.
Did you know that an early symbol for Christianity was the swastika? Does that make us Nazis?
No?
Okay then… Apply the same logic here. -
When I lived in Key West, there was a small community of rastas.
I used to see them in Cubantown or at Fausto's. They were pretty decent guys but I think they must have been reformed rastas or something because your average hardcore rastas can be violent.
By the way, does anyone remember Christafari, the overtly Christian reggae group who got death threats for ministering in the rasta community? -
Mike, yeah I know of Christafari. Aren't they still around? I believe one of the former members of a local band called MLinmo recently joined them. I'm not really into the reggae thing, but they're a fun band to listen to, and their witness seems to be strong.
God bless,
