@TLHKAJ Seems like your daughter and this young woman in question have had really special reasons for doing it, like you imply. And yes, branding/carving is a lot more invasive a procedure than tattooing. Wanting to receive the inking needle for special reasons, and being branded/carved are...

Your ref. to Isaiah 55 was good; and the Lord indeed searches the heart. There is also John 14.6; and John 1.14. Colossians 2.9 says, 'In Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily'.

@Truman Ppl do need Biblical maturity in their growth so that it lasts. 2 Peter 3.18 says: '...Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ'.

@AceWestfall08 Reminds me of Isaiah 55.6-11: "Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will...

@TLHKAJ Although branding as well as tattooing - distinct from each other - is a recognized form of bodyart, it's particularly terrible to do it when forced. No wonder she found it traumatic.

@Truman I guess it's what she just thought you....needed, right?

@1stCenturyLady So are you/ were you a Tinnitus sufferer? (must be a nasty affliction....).

@1stCenturyLady If you think that there are some good effects of MJ for some ppl, which method of getting them do you think is best?

@Truman Well, I see. Sounds like your son was really motivated to get it, right? A lot are, at that sort of age, really. Often it's preceded by ear piercing; then they graduate to the tattoo as they become adults, right?

@1stCenturyLady Romans 8.9 says that 'if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His'.

No denying what it says...

@Goldie75 So you do think that it would be crude sources of nicotine that would concern you most if your daughters smoked? Like, informing/educating ppl about nicotine juice would be part of it, I guess.

@AceWestfall08 Hebrews 9 speaks of the believer's conscience being purged: "For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered...

@Naomi25 So did your parents find out about it yet? :) (Maybe you haven't even seen it yet, though...)

Good to see you, @Naomi25 ; your recent posting about the Trinity was helpful; such an important,Scriptural doctrine.

No knowing what might have been in her mind, though, when she encouraged him to do it....

@AceWestfall08 Romans 8 shows how the believer cries 'Abba, Father'; it's such a searching chapter with relevance to prayer.

@TLHKAJ Far better to search the Scriptures to see the mind of the Holy Spirit than to look to vases falling off the shelf...

@TLHKAJ You're right. It's the trauma and faith experience that is the main narrative; the ink is an aspect that merely flows from it.

@TLHKAJ It's like the outward expressing of a prior and deeper inner meaning.
