As regards the premise of the OP, true, Biblical prayer follows the idea of "Thy will be done" rather than "My will be done".......

Thanks to all who voted so far in the poll. (NB: If you have not yet voted in the poll, please vote now.)

@Mantis Reminds me of Psalm 18.30: "As for God, His way is perfect".

Some have been going back and forth about the so called 23rd chapter of Revelation, but what is the substance of the argument?

By way of comparison with Psalm 110.1, some Bibles give a small 's' for 'spirit of Christ' in Romans 8 and some of them a capital, but it clearly refers to the Holy Spirit. A lot of effort is wasted trying supposedly to 'prove' that Psalm 110.1 does not refer to the Lord Jesus.

PS: @Heart2Soul I think many others have become convinced, like you said, of its medical benefits of mj and really would be waiting now just for that extra bit of assurance before doing it for the first time.

@Heart2Soul Sometimes it can be an effort to listen but often the benefits and rewards can be very encouraging to hear the Word of God expounded...

@Prim Seems like earrings of various varieties have definitely become integral to your developed sense of personal style; so as regards those tiny stud versus the long ones shown in the previous post, I guess you would also have come round to a definite sense of preference. Sometimes earrings...

@Heart2Soul Sorry the appt. didn't go well; so maybe you didn't have the opportunity to discuss the benefits of mj; so maybe you will have this opportunity when you do go back? (I think this thread you started has certainly proved to be instructive.)

@Prim Curious, sad and fascinating all at once.... (I did recognize Professor Robert Oppenheimer there.....)

@mailmandan Yes; and for young men and boys also, my 2c also would be that if I had a son and he really wanted to do it, this would be about the right age. (cc @Prim For young men also who prefer to wear earrings, piercing is probably also the best way, rather than clip ons.)

@mailmandan Interesting also that Philippians 2 says:'it is God that worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure'....

Interesting that the great love of John 3.16 includes the purpose of 'should not perish'...

@Prim You seem a very intelligent person; so maybe you have a background in degree-level analysis, applied now to this subject? You are right that a lot of so called science is anti-Biblical.

Getting back to the Scriptures is always healthy: Psalm 119.105; John 17.17...

@Taken Yes, well, anyway for some ppl it does seem to offer through minimal pain the opportunity for an abiding faith reference... styleholic dot com Seems like it is a most definite preferred option, deliberately planned and chosen - at minimal pain and cost - for many conservative ppl...

There was a book years ago called 'Alarm to the Unconverted' by Joseph Alleine....

Basic differences between Protestant and R. Catholic doctrine include the finished nature of the work of Christ at the Cross; the final authority of the Word of God and the uniqueness of Christ's Person and work: these all have historically been stressed by Protestants.

@Prim I guess the comparison with tattoos was a more general one; yes, there are differences with earrings. Seems like you appreciate being able to put in various varieties of earrings, in turn? And of course there is a big variety, from tiny studs to hoops small or large to pendants up to the...

@Prim Interesting analogy there about numbers 0 to 9....I guess 10 corresponds with the number of human fingers?
