@Ziggy PS: How is your father doing?

@Ziggy Oh so ppl don't actually go there to get pierced and tattooed, then..... :) It was someone's name....

@Naomi25 So...after all the quarantine waiting...did you ever actually see your sister in the end - complete with new tattoo? :)

Thanks, @Naomi25 , for the reply. I must confess I do see it as literal, not least because of seeing Jews, Gentiles and the church of God as distinct groups (1 Corinthians 10.32); thus, the rapture by definition relates to the church, whereas the rule on earth in power and glory relates to...

@Ziggy So from a while back, did you ever actually find the tattoo place and check it out? :)

Hi @Naomi25 Do you really see the 1000 years as figurative?

@My Dreams Glad you are able to continue your Bible distribution and presentation work! So are they English Bibles or also in various Indian languages?

What a phrase! what a challenge! :) cc @devin553344

The Lord Jesus is Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, the first and the last (Revelation).

PS: @Abigail ...but as a patient person do you probably have fairly good pain tolerance? :)

@Abigail We are reckoned righteous by faith (Romans 5.1); and this is complete for all believers because of what the sinless Lord Jesus did at the Cross for sinner; but we are sanctified both positionally and in our condition day by day as an ongoing, pilgrim experience, growing in grace and in...

@Abigail Well, I reckon anyway you didn't have it done for the sake of how it felt, but you would have exercised the patience to have it all pumped in because of the testimony opportunities that you reckoned would come afterwards.

@Abigail I love how Isaiah 55.11 says that God Word 'shall accomplish that which I please'.... It's active and living, indeed... :)

Hi @Abigail; I've already lost the thread....

I do appreciate the King James Version. I've had several copies (one of them is almost disintegrating through use.)

@Mantis: Reminds me of 2 Corinthians 4.17-18: "For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal...

@BarnyFife Great ref. there to John 16.33....

@Mantis: I'm reminded of Philippians 1.28-29: "And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God. 29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake..."

I do think that the believer is looking for the Lord Jesus (Hebrews 12.2), not to signs and wonders. The Luke 21 and Matthew 24 passages seem to be speaking about events around tribulation saints after the church itself has gone. Our role in the church is to serve the Lord faithfully in the...

@Rudometkin I saw a design which depicted the various solas: by grace alone, though faith alone, etc.
