Interesting Story
Halloween Night I'm working at the Harvest Carnival at my church and I'm wearing an ALL THAT REMAINS shirt with a skull on it. By no means is this band DEMONIC and their lyrics are always very positive and interesting and sometimes I wonder if there is a Christian influence in there somewhere.
A Very nice spirit filled lady tells me that I shouldn't wear anything with the image of a skull on it because it represents death.
A little confused I thought, "What happened to grace people!"
Now this makes sense to me and here's how,
First of all this lady is from another country, I think Equador but I'm not sure, and who knows what a skull means in their culture
Second she is from an older generation then me and a whole different scene, me being from the hardcore metal scene and the generation of grace, I MEAN THIS IS THE AGE OF GRACE after all.
Now didn't Jesus say that he didn't come to bring peace but a sword that can seperate bone from marrow? BONE, SKULL, any connection?
ALSO didn't Jesus die on GOLGOTHA which means THE PLACE OF THE SKULL?
If anything, a skull is a reminder of Christ, and that's how I always viewed it.
Her feeling on it was that it is an image of death and that the devil sees that.
My feeling is I want the devil to see me because after all, we are all warriors of God wearing the full armor of God, living by faith and the WORD which can extinguish the flamming arrows of the evil one.
ALSO wasn't the devil defeated on the cross and dragged through the streets in shame.
So as far as I'm concerned, Grace rules, Legalism drulls, and when all else fails, look it up in the bible.
Blessings
