@Mayflower Well, a lot of these threads are quite similar, anyway, I guess...

Yes, indeed; seems like the divorced are in a different category as per Romans 7.1-3.

@Mayflower Oh I've known that one for years; a family favorite, actually....

Yes, they honestly do like having it done, at that age, it seems, as per your observations. (Hence the huge opportunities for motivated use of faith based design inkings, right?)

@GodsGrace Commitment is an important word here; it's nothing like the turning on and off of a faucet/tap (which is the way some ppl seem to practise it...)

@Mayflower Oh so if it didn't even hurt you likely appreciate all the more having gone through the experience of getting it. (In some ways, women also do probably have a better pain tolerance than men, in any case, evidenced by the widespread growth of tattoo parlors' lady clientele.)

We may remember that the kingdom of heaven may contain mere professors rather than those who inwardly and spiritually possess the genuine article.

@Mayflower The path of faith does indeed teach one to learn from one's difficult experiences, as in Isaiah 48.10: "I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction".

Peter's denial, for example, was not the final rejection of apostasy, but more of a case of being 'overtaken in a fault'.

@GodsGrace Really does seem like it's how they think, when teens turn into adults, like: "I was a girl, now I'm an adult and because I'm an adult, this is my (first) tattoo..."

It turned out to Joseph that the circumstances were not what he at first thought. I don't see that regrets over marriage justify people deciding to go against other passages of Scripture.

@Mayflower I appreciate the pun! I guess you would also say the inking pain is certainly worth it, right?

Hi; good to see you. Good to feed on the Word, day by day...

Thanks for your 'like', @Mayflower ; I was trying to find that photo which you kindly posted, but I couldn't see it; he certainly seemed to like his ink; I guess you can up to a point empathize, right? if not to the same extent of inking, anyway.

@GodsGrace The exception clause of which the Lord Jesus spoke can been seen in the context of the Jewish betrothal period, when someone who - for whatever reason - did not want after all to marry the person to whom betrothed, had to obtain a bill of divorcement. This is what Joseph also was...

@GodsGrace What you just said really does seems to confirm what you already commented a while ago, right?

Do you see Romans 7.2-3 as referring to the allowance of re-marriage?

Hi @GodsGrace I do think that passages such as Romans 7 and 1 Corinthians 7 are often overlooked.
