@Lambano And - likewise for the tattoos - I reckon she doesn't have any regrets either...

This is what I thought....

@Lambano Just the sort of thing Woody Allen would say...

Hi @Nancy ; we should listen to that 'still, small voice' (1 Kings 19.12), right? :)

@Lambano ... and no regrets either, I reckon. :)

Hi @Mayflower This is an interesting verse: "For this is the will of God, even your sanctification..." (1 Thessalonians 4.3). I guess matters of healing, etc., can pale in the face of God's purposes for His pilgrim ppl in sanctification.

I see the comment about God's will (for healing, etc.); it seems to me that if one prays, "Thy will be done" and the person is not healed but is given grace to endure, then this fits with the bigger picture.

@Lambano A sobering post; thank-you.

The emphasis in the NT is always on the inward and spiritual, indeed. A good passage to quote. The NT also warns against legalism. If we can't tolerate in others the moderate choices they make for themselves, exercising Romans 14 Christian liberty, this is pure legalism. Just to put you in the...

@marks Good analogies! :) Ephesians 6; John 3.

@Friends of Jesus You make some good points; it's good to remember also that the Lord Himself gave earrings to Zion, part of a picture of imputed righteousness; and in Genesis Rebakah's earring was a symbol of the pledge of God, today seen in the sacred deposit of the Holy Spirit. So while ppl...

@Mayflower It's interesting that the Lord did not heal Paul of his thorn in the flesh (2 Corinthians 12), but rather strengthened him by His grace instead.

@Friends of Jesus Oh I wholeheartedly agree. At the same time, the path of legalism tries to prohibit what might well be reasonable in moderation.

@Friends of Jesus It's moving to think of a great multitude. While remembering that God saves individuals....

@marks As regards Templeton, it doesn't change the doctrine at all. Like, if Templeton turned away from the faith, it would indicate he never truly believed (whatever he professed), rather than introducing any idea that the truly saved today can be lost tomorrow.

@FluffyYellowDuck Hoping you will feel well soon. Sounds like you really mastered the inhaling well. Although for you mastering the inhaling properly was probably done at a time when you really needed the nicotine mixed into the vaping fluid, whereas you don't need the nicotine at all now...

@Heart2Soul Yes; there are safe ways of doing it, if ppl want to go for it...:)

@Heart2Soul Ty; I heard a good sermon on that text years ago....

@Mantis I guess the point is also that there can be a knack to inhaling properly. 2c....

@FluffyYellowDuck Glad she is doing well. (I guess if she's not really into ink it won't matter to her whether the parlors in her area are good or not. Then, again, it can be instructive and interesting to look at a parlor's portfolio artwork with no obligation.) It's good to keep in touch...
