@Marty fox FYI........thread I started...........(sorry the poll expired....)

It comes back to the eternal preexistence of the Son. It was the Son Who was given (John 3.16); 'by Whom also He made the worlds' (Hebrews 1)' 'without Him was not anything made that was made' (John 1).

AS IF.....?

@Taken Great verses there. I think since verses such as Malachi 3.1 speak of the Messenger of the Covenant as a Person - gloriously - we can safely speak of Who became flesh and not only what.

@RedFan Horatius Bonar wrote this Scriptural sentiment: "Done is the work that saves! Once and for ever done. Finished the righteousness That clothes th’unrighteous one. The love that blesses us below Is flowing freely to us now."

@Taken Well, yes. To some Christians more mature in years participation in Biblical tattoos might seem a newer way of expressing faith and conviction. (And of course years ago tattoos generally were what men were more likely to engage in. But today and for not a few years women have of course...

"It is finished" (John 19.30) is what the Lord Jesus said when He wondrously paid the price for sin at the Cross.

@Taken I think the OP will be surprised at all the posts this thread has generated since she started it....

Thank-you........

@dhh712 I think the point is that Scripture already reveals what is the truth. ('Thy word is truth' (John 17.17).

@Taken Well, yes, there may be all kinds of reasons and each person comes individually to being ready. For those who reach the age of 18, the weeks and months and years subsequent to the big 18 seem to mark huge numbers of potential tattooees soon becoming "ready". All the young people with...

@Taken I kind of thought so......

@Jane_Doe22 Did you succeed yet, also? (Or maybe you were never a smoker...)

Hi @Lambano (Thought I would respond here rather than derail the other thread.) The fact is that today it's ppl who are very conservative and traditional (and not just those who might be described as avant-garde or outlaw types - bikers, etc.) who might be tattooed. Even though the one you...

PS: @dhh712 You know, some Europeans try to imply that the United States does not have a lot of history, but this is not true! :) I find US history very absorbing in many ways....

@dhh712 As opposed to talking with someone in those circumstances, have you maybe been caused to think about the content of a faith-related tattoo? Because all the young ppl with Bible verses tattooed whom I have come across have seemingly done it for witness tool reasons. It can of course be a...

@dhh712 How do you find 1 Corinthians 15.20? "Now is Christ risen from the dead".

@dhh712 I do find that kind of historical reading very searching at times. For example, the writer R L Dabney wrote some good Bible meditations, but I hesitate to recommend him wholeheartedly because of his attempt to defend slavery.

I see that in the poll so far, 'Other' is ahead...... :)
