@VictoryinJesus So in your experience smoking marijuana never did much for you. Re. a glass of wine, I think some ppl find a glass of wine in combination with a regular cigarette is an option they prefer; I expect you have your own experience and conclusions there.

It's really a matter of accepting what God clearly revealed; rather than going back to the form of what was promised but refusing its fulfilment...

Hi @Lizbeth Clearly in 1 Corinthians 11.26 it's the church in view with regard to the coming of the Lord Jesus for His people.

Hi @VictoryinJesus Even Job in the OT spoke of the resurrection... :)

I don't think we are going to agree.

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d Yes, and while years ago it wasn't as widespread, yet if Christians do realize how it can be a positive, joyful experience esp. with a faith design content when done confidently with a clear conscience, then like you say, no need to hold back because of the pain - which...

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d I love Psalm 27.1, about the light that the Lord brings.......

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d Well, we never know what's going on in other ppl's hearts, but the Word of God can search us, indeed...........

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d As for you yourself, you did it with confidence, right? And so now presumably you feel good about having done it without regrets, about having started these ink journeys.

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d Sometimes these discussions can be rather moving, right? :)

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d Your post reminds me of Luke 9.23 where the Lord Jesus says to take up one's cross daily and follow Him...

@Marvelloustime Keep up posting the Bible verses! :)

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d I expect your daughter more than most ppl has been able to see just how joyful an experience it was when you in the end went ahead and did it in those designs, with her there with you...but maybe was she also just a little surprised when after so long you asked her to...

@Wynona It's a really great passage in Galatians that you refer to ....(the fruit of the Spirit).

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d Really good individually to be able to tell of how Ebenezer - 'Hitherto hath the LORD helped us' (1 Samuel 7.12) has occurred with us.

I like the spirit of 1 Samuel 30.6: "David encouraged himself in the LORD His God" (1 Samuel 30.6)

Great post, @L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d !

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d I expect that you are now glad to have gotten into getting tattooed - with all the expression and testimony opportunities that it brings - after waiting a long time. So did you get any positive feedback already from those whom you have showed the ink that you've gotten...

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d I'm reminded of the verse at Isaiah 48.10: "I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction".

Hi @L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d Good to be compassionate, indeed, by God's grace. I expect that if the person who comes here wants his bereavement to become known generally, he will make this known. Glad that you yourself have the opportunity to pray for him, if indeed he has made this known directly...
