@Bob Carabbio Scripture and the Holy Spirit accord with one another... :)

@Ronald Nolette Oh I know that some young Christians who get faith based tattoos done might well have had some inking done anyway. I guess some would regard it as an opportunity for witness ink, anyway.

@Goldie75 Thanks for the 'likes'; and anyway I expect you know all about it with your family, right?

@Goldie75 FYI......

@Heart2Soul It can usually be done safely anyway, avoiding problems. If young ppl are still at high school, so that the ear piercings can heal before sporting activities in the fall, it's best done at the beginning of the vacations, isn't it? Young women are probably accustomed to the idea of...

How are you guys doing? :)

@Ronald Nolette Not unusually among Christian musicians getting a tattoo would be not obligatory, but sometimes likely to happen...

@Ronald Nolette I think the RC requiem includes the word 'tartarus'. Whereas the NT believer's hope us truly to be present with the Lord, having relied on His finished work at the Cross, once absent from the body...

@Pearl Similarly, I suppose, someone with pearl earrings, etc., could use them as a conversation-starter, using them as a lead in to testimony... (2 c....)

@JazzyJeff15 Glad you were able to quit. On the positive side, it's good also to have other, more wholesome occupations such as regular Bible reading and prayer....

@Goldie75 FYI....another thread I started... (The discussion has lately gotten a bit involved, which was not my original intention...)

@Goldie75 Great to see you.... God bless your family. As regards Scriptural local church activities to look for, Acts 2.42 is a good pattern: "And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers."

@Ziggy Such a searching verse, yes.... There are ppl with tattoos who do serve the Lord... ...and there are ppl with tattoos who don't serve the Lord. Discerning the difference is not an outward thing, but an inward and spiritual one. Getting inked up might work as a tool for having more...

@Ziggy I guess one could say that the kingdom and the church in Scripture are not exactly the same?

@michaelvpardo Well, wouldn't the evangelistic focus be on the time prior to the rapture?

Hi @TLHKAJ Prayer and the Scriptures in a young man's life might ultimately lead to the Lord bringing him together with someone who will become His Christian wife, but first and foremost what Paul says in 1 Thessalonians 4.3 applies: "For this is the will of God, even your sanctification".

@michaelvpardo Some might even argue that an evangelistic Scripture tattoo can really be gotten as an act of Gospel-induced love for those whom one wants to reach: since from time to time testimony conversations are likely to arise from it... (If this makes sense...?)

@eformed1689 Good to get back to passages such as Ephesians 2, where Paul shows where unregenerate man really is, until tregeneration in grace.

@1stCenturyLady Yes, sad. Good to get back to Scripture simplicity...
