Wow, you and your occultic symbols. That symbol that you have with your name is a very occultic symbol, I believe it is the unholy trinity in itself. It is tree interwoven sixes; for 666. It also appears on the cover of a book called "The Craft" which is a witches book of doctrine. I would choose a different picture.
His avatar is just a simple celtic knot, and what is a celtic knot you ask?

"Celtic knots are a variety of (mostly endless) knots and stylized graphical representations of knots used for decoration, adopted by the ancient Celts. These knots are most known for their adaptation for use in the ornamentation of Christian monuments and manuscripts like the 8th century St. Teilo Gospels, the Book of Kells and the Lindisfarne Gospels."

Also, as far as calling it a trinity means that you are inferring it is Godlike? Uh, you're way off you're rocker. A trinity is anything consisting of three parts.

Ya'll ought to consider taking it easy with the judgements and semantics.

I'd change it because if followers of the Lord perceive it as satanic what if it is, why would one want to hang out in a christian site with a satanic avatar? troll? I really am just wondering the motivation or his perceived meaning of his avatar, perhaps its nothing.
If followers of the Lord perceived your legs as too long, would you saw them off at the knee? Common sense, please.

I believe ole Pete had it right when he said...satan, antichrist, and the false prophet = unholy trinity

I have heard that as well; I think he is pretty much right on. The antichrist is going to claim to be God the Bible says, so he is going to need to great his own counterfeit trinity.

Thats a good point but you do realize that the pentagram first stood for the 5 wounds of jesus or something along the lines and THEN was misinterpreted to be witchcraft and thats only if the pentagram is flipped upside down.
Before the Christians even existed, the Sumerians (One of the oldest civilizations) used it, as well as the ancient Greeks.


"Sumer

The first known uses of the pentagram are found in Mesopotamian writings dating to about 3000 BC. The Sumerian pentagrams served as pictograms for the word "UB," meaning "corner, angle, nook; a small room, cavity, hole; pitfall," suggesting something very similar to the pentemychos (see below on the Pythagorean use for what pentemychos means). In René Labat's index system of Sumerian hieroglyphs/pictograms it is shown with two points up.[6] In the Babylonian context, the edges of the pentagram were probably orientations: forward, backward, left, right, and "above".[7] These directions also had an astrological meaning, representing the five planets Jupiter, Mercury, Mars and Saturn, and Venus as the "Queen of Heaven" (Ishtar) above.[7]
[edit] Pythagoreans

The Pythagoreans called the pentagram ὑγιεία Hygieia ("health"; also the Greek goddess of health, Hygieia), and saw in the pentagram a mathematical perfection (see Geometry section below).
The ancient Pythagorean pentagram was drawn with two points up and represented the doctrine of Pentemychos.[citation needed] Pentemychos means "five recesses" or "five chambers", also known as the pentagonas — the five-angle, and was the title of a work written by Pythagoras's teacher and friend Pherecydes of Syros.[8] It was also the "place" where the first pre-cosmic offspring had to be put in order for the ordered cosmos to appear.[citation needed]"

I don't know what is so judgemental about that, just making an abvious statement based on the research I did. It's used on "The Craft" and "The New King James Bible", just another reason I use the original" King James Bible".

You're making that decision based on the fact that you see traditional Celtic symbols used in popular culture and media as an occultist's symbol.

Facts > popular culture.

Well it certainly shouldn't be used as the trinity. That is what I believe it was made to represent by being put on the NKJV if I am correct. What does the Bible say about making an image of the trinity.

Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead (trinity) is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. Acts 17:29

What? I didn't say his avatar has anything to do with God. I said it's a typical Celtic knot, a simple geometric design. Read my earlier post, please.

I guess we are going to just have to disagree. Most symbols are not just for decoration, I believe they have meaning to them. And either way you look at it you can still get 666 woven together in it. And all I'm saying is I would just like to error on the side of safety if it was me. I think it is important to understand what is right and wrong. The Bible says to prove all things. It also says in Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.......

I'll bet if you looked hard enough you could find 666 on the back of a box of Corn Flakes, too.

Facts are greater than fear and apprehension.

You are wrong about that forgiven, absolutely wrong... If its not satanic thats fine, but if it is, why would someone allow themselves to be a tool used by satan?. If its not satanic and is something other than what others have posted then by all means defend it. I would not have a pentagram as my avatar lest I be received by my brothers & sisters in the Lord as a witch. Perhaps the other posts were inaccurate assessment of his avatar. If this is the case by all means state it. But never ever be deceived in thinking that if we take on satanic imagry that we are not effected by this. This realm is REAL.
I don't know what is so judgemental about that, just making an abvious statement based on the research I did. It's used on "The Craft" and "The New King James Bible", just another reason I use the original" King James Bible".

so the New king james bible is evil also?

This is one of my frustrations at times is it seems like folks are trolling around in the shadows with their where-is-Satan-detector, looking for the faintest shadow of the devil, when the same amount of effort if used to go after Jesus could be so more productive. What's to be gained by looking for the devil in this avatar? Is it beneficial?

I can't claim to know your motives, but to me it just doesn't seem beneficial to be worrying about it this much.

Comes back to balance. To me getting all worried over a questionable avatar appears to be an imbalance. The avatar isn't going to grab you by the earlobes and drag you in to temptation.

Lots of unbalanced focus on the devil is wrapped up in the wrapper labeled, "Well we gotta be aware of the devil's schemes."

Like I said before just because something has the potential to be evil doesn't mean it itself is evil. It's like a cross christian right side up but if its flipped it could be satanic! But I appreciate your concern.

If in fact the avatar was something offensive this IS an issue as this is a Christian Chat room & we should always do our best to not cause our brother to stumble in his faith... whether its using a pentagram which reminds me of some of the chants we dabbled in as teenagers or a short skirt or low cut top that causes another to stumble, Our avatars do matter and we should also be mindful of being respectful to our brother and his beliefs and not cause him to stumble in his faith. As a rule I would say this is no place for demon avatars (i've seen this on here b4) or low cut skirt avatars which i've also seen. Personally, given the explaination given of this avatar I have no problem with it.
