This is something I've wondered about. We are not told, but why do you think Jesus healed this blind man in two stages instead of instantly?
(Mark 8:22-25)
And they came to Bethsaida. And some people brought to him a blind man and begged him to touch him. And he took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village, and when he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, "Do you see anything?" And he looked up and said, "I see people, but they look like trees, walking." . . .

So I know there's often some discussion on here regarding Covenant Theology. I wouldn't say I fall "squarely" in that camp, but I do have an honest question. If we draw a distinction between the church and Israel, how can we as "Gentile" believers still find hope and comfort in the promises of the OT, as these were actually made to Israel (ie., Isaiah 66:13, Jeremiah 29:11, etc.)

Got assigned a question today and would like your input on it: What is the difference between "cultural Christian" and "Christian atheism"?
The terms "cultural Christian" and "Christian atheism" aren't totally foreign to me, however, I'm not having much success finding good info about them. My initial thoughts are that Christian atheists believe that Jesus was a good, moral man, but God Himself, is not longer relevant in the church or even dead.

Would appreciate other's thoughts on this one:
Question:Can Christians wear skulls? clothing, rings etc.
My gut says there is nothing explicitly against it but there's really no benefit to it either, but I can't find anything in Scripture to "support" it. The only thing that comes to mind is Leviticus 19:28 but I don't know if that really applies.
