@MatthewG Another from your friend again, right? :)

The OP seemed to refer to men in prominent positions; my point was that it is doctrine in Scripture that takes precedence over the temporary prominence of people.

@TLHKAJ For the believer, even long before....... :) Psalm 139: "O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. 2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. 3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. 4 For...

@TLHKAJ Scripture and so much sung verse is full of the glorious Deity of Christ.

@TLHKAJ I can see what you say, in relation to the unmarried; marriage is of course supposed to be permanent. And I can see the permanence aspect of the tattoo that your daughter got re. the child you said had taken away from her tragically. Sometimes tattoo removal can be painful and...

Hiercharchies were not created; rather, there is the Biblical 'faith once delivered to the saints' (Jude 3) for which believers must contend earnestly.

@Marilyn C FYI......another thread I started....(includes poll). cc @Ziggy (Maybe you didn't see this one yet....)

The 'eyewitness of His majesty' passage in 2 Peter 1.16 is pivotal, I think, showing how the Old Testament Scriptures attest to the majesty and glory of Christ.

@TLHKAJ Thoughtful comment, yes. Like also, if a Christian woman has the tattoo of an ex-bf's name (e.g., 'BILL')and does not want to be condemned to have it visible for the rest of her life, she might well go get 'BILL' changed to 'BIBLE' or something; some artists can do really amazing artwork...

@TLHKAJ Indeed so; Scripture is full of His Deity.....

@Marvelloustime John's Epistles are so precious, pithy and searching! :)

@GodsGrace You sounded just a little surprised that she did it, anyhow, in any earlier post. But it does sound like she both had been made to feel confident about the particular tattoo artist that she chose, and like she had been well motivated to to do it also, even if she in the end didn't...

Not really because the whole 'Council' system became no longer about the local issues between two individual local churches and instead became about creating committees, the deliberations of which supposedly became permanently binding on other local churches. Local churches today need to take...

Even the so called Council of Jerusalem was not to set up an authoritative structure for the future, but rather about an issue which arose between two local churches in order to clarify certain issues relating to certain individuals who had been purporting to represent one to the other, and...

"God of God, Light of Light, Lo, He abhorred not the virgin's womb, Verily God, begotten, not created, O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord!" John 1 confirms that 'without Him was not anything made that was made': He is the Creator and not the created.

This is a great thread, @Marvelloustime ! @Pearl started a similar one recently also....

@GodsGrace What I guess meant was, if you type 'London ink' at Youtube, you will see that your friend had a developed tattoo scene in London from which to decide where to go to get inked up. (So did she seem satisfied?)

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d The Psalms were originally a song book.... :)

@GodsGrace Oh I'm all for history also.... (I don't hold to the 'development of doctrine' theory, whereby the supposedly assumes to itself the authority to establish new doctrine.

@GodsGrace PS: If it's London, there are lots of parlors there to chose from, if the ink shows are anything to go by, right?
