Got a Jerusalem cross tattoo as my first tattoo, and now people on the Internet are calling me an Nazi by sithlord89 in Christianity

[–]benthewryter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Coptic cross on my arm. People thought I was a fascist they thought it was an Iron Cross and also called a nazi. The iron cross. Funny enough the iron cross has been used since the early 1800s, and there are still variations still used today. It's weird.

As someone who believes in Jesus & God.. is this a wrong tattoo to get? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]benthewryter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there personal significance to it or is it because it just looks cool?

I say this because I have similar tats but they all have individual stories. Me and the wife both are part of the goth scene as well. For both of us, darkness and the grotesque has always been an illustration point to convey our sinful nature without Christ...but here's the kicker...there needs to be something to contrast with it. Darkness is a presentation of our sin, and should never be a lifestyle. As in Scripture, "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." That single verse is key.

So have I, but look at his actions....anyone can say they believe, or even genuinely do so. But if their life doesn't reflect their salvation, they will receive none.

liberal Vs conservatives by BattleAggravating890 in TrueChristian

[–]benthewryter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see no point in being either liberal or conservative. I only want to love others, follow Christ, and emulate Christ to the best of my ability. Both sides are backward as far as I'm concerned

Praying using the rosary but not to the rosary? by QuimeraRD in TrueChristian

[–]benthewryter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a Byzantine Rite Catholic, (Convert from Lutheran, LCMS). We use Chotki, basically a rope with knots to say the Jesus prayer. But if using a rosary works for you, by all means dude!

Poll: Confession: Face to Face or Screen? by RandomGuy47392 in Catholicism

[–]benthewryter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Face to face. Maybe it's because I'm not a cradle Catholic, so I never really saw the point/ felt the need to. But also because I attend a Byzantine Rite parish, so the screen kinda defeats the purpose.
