Let me be sure to understand you. By your logic, if the word 'skateboard' is not in the Bible, that anything related to skateboard is A-Ok? So you'd have no problem if I set a nuclear bomb off on you or had a Homer give you the AIDS because neither is explicitly mentioned in the Bible?
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

I had a feeling you might accidentally misinterpret what I said. Forgive me for not being clearer. I simply want to find a passage in the Bible that says if what you are doing is not glorifying God then it is a sin. I only ask this since someone else who posted in this topic said that anything that distracts us from glorifying God is a sin. So I assume that also means anything that isn't glorifying God is a sin.

And again this thread is about the skateboarding menance.
Friend, have you some sort of medical problem? Do you know what skateboarding is? Have you any idea the horrors skate punks inflict on decent white people every day?
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?

This thread is about whether or not skateboarding is a sin. One of the arguments saying that it is says that skateboarding distracts you from glorifying God and if anything you do is not glorifying God then it is a sin. I did not agree with that statement and so I asked for someone to provide a passage from the Bible that backed up their claim (That if you do something that isn't glorifying God then it is a sin) . Because if no one could find such a passage then I wouldn't be able to see anything wrong with skateboarding and thus answering the original question of the thread of whether or not skateboarding is a sin.

So you are trying to say a skate punk does not pay attention to what he is doing while riding the Board of Hell? What are they thinking about? Raping the elderly? Lets stay focused here Greg. You may be old and brain addled but stay on skate board topic.

Don't be riding your skateboard in Freehold or the police will take your deck.
May you be a blessing to every life you touch.

Okay I'm just goning to drop this thing. I'm obviously not able to get my point across clear enough for you to understand so that's my fault.
So let me "get back on topic".
I don't see how riding a skateboard is evil. Yes their are many bad people who ride skateboards but that doesn't necessarily mean anyone who has ever ridden a skateboard is evil. That's almost like saying that since there are 30,000 gunshot deaths per year that every person who owns a gun is evil.

Ownership of a skate board is not the issue. it is the usage of them that is. Pretty simple concept. There is a difference.
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

Guns are protected by the 2nd amendment to the Constitution. Are you an America hating communist or some kind of home grown terrorist? Which is it, boy?
May you be a blessing to every life you touch.

So if this person's child were to ride his skateboard only at a skate-park with all the necessary protection it would be okay? What are you're problems with the usage of skateboards?

Greg, this has been discussed over and over. Read the entire thread from the beginning, not just the parts that excite you.
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.

Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

Uhhh neither. If you understood my post at all then you would see that I am saying I DISAGREE with that statement. I use to own a rifle myself until I moved into a more urban area and I realised I wouldn't be able to go hunting anymore.

So you owned a gun and from what I read in another post, never owned a skateboard. You sold your gun because you could not use it. Then why do you care about skateboards?
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?

Sure thing, Jellybean.
1Cor 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
Col 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Col 3:23-24 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
Eph 6:7-8 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
Plus, it's just plain common sense. If you are a Christian and you love God, why would you do anything that doesn't glorify Him? We were put here on Earth to worship, praise, and glorify God. If you're out tooling around on your skateboard doing ollies and alley-oops and whatnot, then that's taking time away from doing God's work. Also, if you are dressed up as a thug from MTV while you're doing it, then you are also running afoul of God's command to abstain from all appearance of evil (1Thess 5:22).
I hope you find this helpful, friend.

A sport played for the sole purpose of glorifying God is not a sin. The same sport played for fun is for personal amusement, and therefore a sin.

Sister, forgive my ignorance, but doesn't sport also keep young men from thinking about sin?
