The church is not Israel. 1 Corinthians 10.32.

@Siddhi Koli According to John 3, where the Lord Jesus is speaking, it is by the Holy Spirit that the true believer has been born again....

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d Seems like @Abigail had similar strategic thinking to yours as regards the placement of witness tattoos:

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d Yes, I would reckon that Israel as the wife of Jehovah and the church as the bride of Christ are Scriptural distinctions.

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d Good verse there......

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d If she is 19, it's not surprising that your granddaughter has piercings and a new tattoo - her first: it's what her contemporaries expect widely to do. So did she have any known response to the fact that her grandmother also received recently her first tattoos?

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d We do now have all the teaching authority we need in Scripture now, which is complete......... :)

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d Often discussions around dispensations seem to revolve around the distinction between the church and Israel in Scripture, rather than according to attempts to lump them together.......

I love the Old Hundredth! :)

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d Far better and essential not to dabble in spirits...... Colossians 2.9: "In Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily": all the believer's sufficiency is of Him.

@Rita I've been out of it a long while now, anyway.....

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d There are so many different ideas out there, but Scripture is our guide.....

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d As regards a person's past that s/he hasn't told us about, it's easy to make assumptions although perhaps best not to make too many assumptions. There is a sense in which as a professional tattoo artist who also does piercings it may reasonably thought that he would...

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d For example, in Hebrews 1 we see that angels are ministering spirits. Good spirits. (Although some angels fell.) Sometimes ppl like to look to angels, but Hebrews 12.2 exhorts us to keep 'looking unto Jesus' (even as we know that angels are there in the background).
