@michaelvpardo 1 Corinthians 15:57 (which leads to the exhortation in verse 58...) :)

@michaelvpardo I suppose in some ways there is a comparison with circumcision. In Galatians Paul strongly goes against the idea of ppl being compulsorily circumcised. Yet also Paul circumcised Timothy, not as an obligation but as a witness tool in a sense that if Jews knew Timothy had been...

@michaelvpardo Well there is both the principle of tribulation (John 16.33) and the unique, future great tribulation event (Matthew 24).

@michaelvpardo I love also how the Lord Jesus says in John 16.33: "In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer: I have overcome the world." :)

@michaelvpardo Significant also that God delivered Daniel, and his companions, not from the fiery furnace but in it...

@michaelvpardo Interesting what John says in Revelation 1.9: "I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ."

Just how many preachers' wives happen to wear earrings...?

@michaelvpardo Interesting account. As per Revelation 3.7, ppl's circumstances - how ever defined - can involve the Lord opening and shutting doors: "And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that...

@michaelvpardo This is what Rita said: If I remember correctly in the past you said you had issues with your wife's inking, but anyway it seems like when they go for faith based tattoo designs a lot of Christian men and women seem to think it is a wholesome experience which can act as a...

@michaelvpardo Good subject for ongoing meditation and study, indeed, yes... :)

PS: I do think the church and Israel are distinct; 1 Corinthians 10:32.

@ShineTheLight FYI.....thread started...

Well, yes, and changing circumstance that cause someone to move back to one's parents, if indeed they are able to receive someone back for a while.... The Lord knows all our varying circumstances....
