@mailmandan I think Philippians 1.6 is apt, for the question also....

Poll added....

Okay so I guess this is really relevant for some families, as regards strategies for quitting: If you smoke/vape yourself, do your children smoke/vape also?

@Johann What do you make of a conversation that arises out of a John 3.16 tattoo? ( cc @Lambano )

I do think this picture is an extreme example, @Johann ......

@Pearl He almost quit altogether now, then.... :)

@Pearl Great to keep encouraging with the Scriptures... :)

@Johann Kind of extreme example, right? :)

@bell123 FYI...thread I started...

@Pathfinder7 So do you like Oswald Chambers as a writer? (I think he was the author, right?)

@Lambano We were just talking, above, about tattoos as conversation-starters. They definitely do work as such, don't they?

@Johann I appreciate your post and sentiment. My wife and I talked to a young lady with John 3.16 tattooed on her wrist area. All the young ppl with Bible verses tattooed with whom I have talked seem to have had them done as witness tools. These function as conversation-starters.

This is Hindi, right? (or Sanskrit...)

Yes, I think it is helpful to understand them as distinct in Scripture...

@Johann Some Christians indeed prefer not to. Others regard a Bible verse tattoo as a witness tool that is effective in encouraging conversations.

@Taken Losing her mom during the sentence must have been traumatic for her. Sounds like you spent a great deal of time and effort trying to encourage her. Maybe she graduated to getting Scripture leaning tattoos eventually also? I reckon the ones gotten in prison would have been quite varied...

PS: @Taken I wonder if s/he only got the first of the tattoos while already incarcerated? or whether s/he had gotten some already and then got more in prison..... Kind of may make a difference in some ppl's minds, I suppose.... Interesting reasoning, anyway, that you mentioned.

@Taken The church now and tribulation saints (Matthew 24) seem to be distinct.

@Taken "All one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3.28) is none other than a work that must be effected by God Himself.

@Johann A searching question for us all....
