There is so many symbols and things across the internet no one can keep up with all that is displayed in this day an age. Yet symbols alone do not define who you are or are not. Nor does circumcision make you a Jew beyond being one outwardly. If we think on it, men were only circumcized by human hand and female were not. Females showed no sign of being of faith beyond their modest appearance. What you have is two people male and female, one showing their faith by cut of skin and other showing only by fashion sense. It makes a hard decision if the circumision is because of human birth and whose family you were born to whether Jew or Gentile or if it was spiritual birth.

The truth be known if all we had to do is wear a emblem or a mark of faith then we all would wear it whether we acted like we were spiritually reborn or not. What is spiritual birth, but the transformation Christ makes when one receive him as Lord and Savior. We are sealed by the Holy Spirit has his child, but truth be told we do not always act like a child of God. However there is inner man and God sees the inner man and knows if he believes in him and desires for him to be Lord or not. We can hide many things from the world, but we can not hide it from God. This life our strive maybe to be a good person, but it does not make it so, but we will where the actions of a good person to our grave despite our faith. Many people do. It the ones that where Satanic markings and still seem to be good people that scare many of us. Either Christ has made a difference in this person's life or they have a very good sheep custume of actions and wear the marks that declare whose child they truly are.

Are we consumed by our flesh in the world as far as how to live, or are we allowing God to transform us by the cross we bear for Christ, by living the best we can by walking by God's Spirit. What kind of child are you one of God or the enemy? What kind of life are you living, the truth or a lie of the inner man. If Jesus is Lord then symbols mean nothing? No if we are child of God we need to watch symbols of the enemy, to not pick up the traditions that are evil and dangerous, but the symbols themselves hurt you not. Yet are you what those symbols mean, if so then are they of your faith? Let us beware some people where shirts with symbols because of a movie that has nothing to do with what really on them. Let us be clear people like things because of a book they read, even if it displays the enemy. Yet let us remember whose child of God we are and ask if I meet Jesus on the street would I want to be seen with this embleming of none faith in him?

The decision to declare your faith must be based on the heart and what Christ means to you, but your actions often speak louder then words. Righteous judgment comes with the knowledge of what you see with the eyes, no it comes only by God's hand marking his children as his by his Spirit, not by our declaration of whose child we are.

Dear Heavenly Father Paul said he wore the marks of the cross, he was stoned, he was beaten and he was scarred for his faith in you. Let us not be afraid of the marks we receive for your Son, but rejoice in the battle scars of faith, that they tell the people where we stand in faith. In Jesus precious name, Amen.
