Well, interesting perspective. This of course would get us into the whole sphere also of what constitutes divorce/remarriage, as maybe supposedly varying as one moved from one culture to another. In terms of what local church elders would put into practice... (If you follow the logic drift...)

Hi @Two-Edged Sword Philippians 4.8 is a great verse, when it comes to the believer's thoughts......

If ppl want to wait to do that; okay. For ourselves, we didn't equate kissing with carnality; like, we kissed after we got engaged.

There's a public side to marriage as well as a private.

Wise words, yes.......

@Ronald Nolette Some parents may be dead against tattoos. Well, fine. At the same time, in their adolescents' run up to 18, it's probably wise - whatever their personal preferences may be - to give a bit of advice about what to try to avoid if a tattoo is eventually to be considered, since a...

Interesting way of putting it..........

@marks Good general advice indeed! not simply seeing the distinction between the church and Israel can for example lead to a lot of problems when ppl start trying to discuss minutiae.

@Pearl Great verse there.........

@Wynona Part of the message of Acts 2.42, really: the collective activities of Christians.

@Mantis It can really vary a lot among ppl as to when they are "ready" for their first tattoo, or as to when they become "ready" for a further one, etc., right?

@Mantis Strictly speaking, being a tattoo artist is about facilitating a service preferred rather than strictly required, right? Ppl's preferences develop. (As you will have found......)

1 Corinthians 11.26 seems to make it clear that the Rapture is particularly linked with the church.
