@Not me I think Romans 14 is a much neglected passage; (when ppl internalize just what it means not to busybody in other men's matters, as Peter says...)

@Mantis Ppl have got the idea that church is about buildings, but really it's about the work of God in people; Acts 2.42 activities depend little upon buildings......

@dhh712 Often I think about Peter's exhortation to grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3.18). Keeping the simplicity of that goal in view is precious.

@Mantis I suppose it's true for some ppl, but not for a lot of ppl. Rita said it made her feel good: Rita said I felt good about it. ..I was 50 when I had mine done, and two of my sons had various tattoos long before me..I had weighed everything up , talked to my pastor, reflected on scripture...

@Mantis It's such a blessing that we have Scripture and the work of the Holy Spirit in granting us understanding of it in order to authenticate what we learn of Him.

@dhh712 Yes, indeed, we should wait in dependence upon the Lord for the increase.........

@dhh712 Rita said it made her feel good. Rita said I felt good about it. ..I was 50 when I had mine done, and two of my sons had various tattoos long before me..I had weighed everything up , talked to my pastor, reflected on scripture As @Not me just said, above, if one's heart does not...

@dhh712 Thanks for the 'like'; yes, the simplicity of the gatherings - as the simplicity in Christ (2 Corinthians 11.3) - is very precious.

@devin553344 FYI........did you see how the poll results have been progressing? I think you said you have a tattoo and don't regret it.

@Mr E I guess it didn't surprise you when - at around 18, I suppose - your family started acquiring tattoos; it seems to be the age when it starts. Maybe it didn't surprise you also that your daughters as well as your sons had it done; seems like among tattoo artist clients females predominate.

Good for you, @devin553344 .....

@Mr E Thanks for the 'like'; I think some of my health issues now relate to the fact that I didn't realize this fact earlier in life.........

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

Over the years I've come to realize that issues of diet and exercise are more important than I used to think.....

Philemon is about a slave whose freedom Paul pleads for; in Christ, the perspective has changed hugely.

@Mr E Thanks for the comments. So would any of their tattoos be faith based?

@Mr E FYI......did you see /vote in the recent poll, above?

@Not me I think that inevitably there are likely to be a variety of views as regards how the tattoo artist profession is seen. One poster claimed that tattoos are not lady-like. Others have a quite different view; GodsGrace related how widespread it is in her area among the most conservative...

@mailmandan FYi.....did you see/vote in the recent poll, above?

@mailmandan All these labels that give ppl the excuse not to search the Scriptures.........
