@Pythagorean12 FYI....did you see this thread?

@Truth7t7 I do find 1 Corinthians 10.32 helpful; making sure whether a passage refers to Jews, Gentiles or the church of God. If this is seen, then the 'who' of prophecy is relevant as well as 'when'.

@McFearless Snakker De litet dansk? :)

@Wynona Resting in the finished work of Christ - John 19.30; Hebrews chapters 9 and 10 - cannot be with any admixture of supposed human merit; it's by grace or not at all; I'm sure you agree; this is how I would respond to your question, anyway...

@Truth7t7 Thanks for your comment. As the discussion above with @Wynona maybe also shows, ppl can basically have the same doctrinal beliefs but on a subject such as tattoos can hold a wide variety of opinions, right? Some ppl really don't like their tattoos: Laish said: 2 Chr. 34:19 said...

@Truth7t7 Interesting comments. I'm in Canada, btw.... :)

@OneIsTheWord Searching verses there...

@McFearless Thanks for your comment. Maybe in Denmark it's a bit different, but in North America so many Christians get them; faith based tattoos are very widespread. All the young ppl tattooed with Bible verses with whom I have talked seem to have had them done for evangelistic reasons. This...

@Wynona Hebrews 11 and Romans 1 and Romans 16 do indeed speak of the obedience which comes with faith.

@Wynona You have mentioned your unease; you must follow your own reading of Scripture, right? Some ppl are a little frightened by the idea. Others definitely are not. Everyone's experience will not be the same. Just to bear in mind also that unease similar to yours won't be every believer's...

@Wynona If it's all of grace, then I don't see that 'hyper-grace' would be a bad thing in that sense. Resting in God's grace day by day as we seek to please Him is of course a good thing.

@Rita It seems that some of the talk about cannabis is supposedly about pain relief, but used as a cover for what amounts to recreational use. On the other hand, when one thinks of Spurgeon, who suffered with chronic gout, smoking in order to obtain some relief from it, then it puts the...

@Cachalot A timely warning....

@Mantis You are right about getting hooked. I hope you can find some relief. A lot of the cannabis arguments that have gone round and round were supposedly about pain relief.

@Truman Isaiah 48.10 speaks of the furnace of affliction. I do hope that pain relief is possible for you; (this was one of the arguments about legalizing cannabis, although this was also used as a cover by some ppl who wanted to use it recereationally.)

@Rudometkin It seems to me that on the one hand there may be the facts of the situation; on the other, there might be what others, not knowing the full facts, might perceive to be potentially the case. It would seem wise to err on the side of caution and discretion. Perceptions about people...

@Wynona Sometimes they are quoted independently and this is okay; but the flow of thought includes them all...

@McFearless FYI....another thread I started....

@amadeus Thank-you; good thoughts there from Scripture. There is also a passage in Malachi about refining, in a similar vein.

@MatthewG I thought of this verse also: "For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death." (2 Corinthians 7.10)
