@Ronald Nolette All the young ppl with Bible verses tattooed with whom I have talked seem to have had them done for witness reasons, anyway. So I can imagine them having gone with joy into the tattoo parlor.

The great white throne in the NT seems to be distinct from the judgment seat of Christ.

@Ronald Nolette We indeed wait on the Spirit of God to give light and illumination and understanding of the Word of God. 'Blind unbelief is sure to err And scan His works in vain, God is His own interpreter And He will make it plain.'

@michaelvpardo Divine sovereignty and human responsibility are both abundantly present in Scripture; both are Biblical, indeed.

As regards what Paul is saying in Philippians, it was God who began the work in the first place. '...He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ' (Philippians 1.6)

(Though I think the lady in the picture above is probably a little older...)

Faith really must be a work of God: 'Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. (John 6.29) 'No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.' (John 6.44) 'And he said...

@Heart2Soul Dave L even regrets not having done it. Dave L said: It's clear how so many Christian young ppl today think a simple little faith design inking can really help their personal witness, anyway.

If everyone's sins were put away as well as the sins of those who would believe, then why won't everyone be saved?

Hi @VictoryinJesus Some ppl see the restraining influence of the Holy Spirit in the world, even as God's purposes in Christ are worked out.

@Heart2Soul Even a little Christian fish sign <>< on a wrist, etc., can become a witness talking point... pinterest

@Heart2Soul The funny thing is that it seems popular for ppl to look for the supernatural, but then to ignore what Scripture records about the power of God in Creation, in birth of the Lord Jesus, in redemption, in the Resurrection...

The salvation in John 3.16 is directed at the whosoever believeth. The sins of everyone everywhere were not effectually put away; but rather of those who believe.

@Ronald Nolette The sinner indeed needs the 'But God...' intervention of Divine grace, of which Ephesians 2 speaks.

@Heart2Soul It can be done today with a lot of social confidence and she probably had it done because she thought it was a really good investment in likely witness conversations when the SOLAs of Scripture would become a talking point. All the young ppl with Bible verses tattooed with whom I...
