my fascination...

[Bleed]

i have a fascination with skulls.
i wonder if it's not very Christian of me.
i have clothes with skulls on them, a skull snow globe, skull ashtray, and other skull decorations.
it's like every day is Halloween in my house.
should i be worried as a 45 year old?

 

[soggykitten]

I wouldn't be too concerned. The skull is a visual representation, in my view, of our mortality and the fact that the flesh is unable to attain immortality.

 

[IToreTheSky]

Wearing skulls on ones clothing has nothing to do with how "Christian" or spiritual you are.
If God has a problem with it you'll know. You have His Spirit within you I'd assume. I just turned 50 last month and I like lots of not the norm music and stuff like that. Don't sweat the deets just love God and ppl around you.

Skulls can be beautiful in their own way.

 

[TheIndianGirl]

I don't like skulls; I think the person who likes skulls probably has a dark/moody personality so I stay away from them.

Would you say I have a dark/moody personality from looking at my profile picture? It's not a skull, but it could be considered a little morbid, I suppose.

Yes.

Doctors, forensic scientists, archeologists, paleontologists, coroners, artists, all within certain fields or certain attraction can deal a lot with skulls. So thankfully some people are really interested in skeletons.

 

[Lanolin]

uh, is it because of Golgotha where Jesus was crucified (the place of the skull?)

No you don't need to worry I mean I draw skulls as I am just naturally good at them. God looks to the heart.

I would think the time to seriously reconsider your fascination would come IF you begin to "worship" your skulls. When they are replacing God in your life, then you seriously need to rethink the whole thing. Different people collect, like different things as a hobby, but that is the important thing; that it REMAIN a hobby! Skulls, comic books, baseball cards, art work, pottery, the list is almost unending regarding what people will find fascination with.

Make sure God is FIRST in your life!

[oldethennew]

there truly does appear that there is a world-wide epidemic of (skullitis),
to the point of people buying-wearing them as a badge of identiy -
it points toward 'death', as does 'everything of this present evil world' -
God's way ALWAYS points to LIFE...

The interesting thing about bones in the Bible, apart from Golgotha, is the pasage in ezekiel about the valley of the dry bones, How God would make them live. Recall. Eve was fashioned from Adams rib.

There have been a few decapitations in the Bible. Goliath and John the Baptist, and of course, in Revelation, the maytrs are beheaded for the testimony of Jesus. I think thats referring to John but it might have been other people as well.
