The Wesley brothers wrote a lot of good hymns...

@Heart2Soul There is a remarkable unity to it, even as its Spirit-led writers were so varied...and as you said, we need the Holy Spirit to lead us in understanding Scripture...

@Pathfinder7 Something special about evergreens, right? :)

@Addy In design terms, I guess that minimalism would be more like Mary Quant than Edwardian flamboyance...

@Addy Re. minimalism, it's an interesting style; I guess you would be more into 60s simplicity than into early 20th century or Victorian floppy and ornate style... Though I guess it all depends on what ppl really mean by minimalism...

@Addy Well, your 'bite' - if that's what it really is - is that of a gracious lady.... :)

@Samara777 My mind goes back to the heartening and thoughtful lines of Anne Steele in the 18th century: "O may these hallowed pages be My ever dear delight! And still new beauties may I see, And still increasing light!" The fact is that we shall never cease to learn more from God's Word...

@Addy There is something very special about evergreen trees.... :) (PS: Like the Cedar of Lebanon, I suppose...)

@Addy No worries; good to see the outworking of thinking and discussion...Your kind heart shines through...

PS: @Samara777 What I would also say is that today it's so often conservative people who get tattooed; it's not now a sign of being avant-garde and radical (if it ever was). GodsGrace said: ↑ juliannenw said: allnurses dot com That being said, the context of people getting their first -...

@Samara777 Thanks for your further, thoughtful comments. Romans 14.17 has a really good principle: "For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost." Some untattooed Christians will never wish to get tattooed, with Bible verses or...

You want to watch for pine cones raining down in a forest on a windy day.... :)

The Psalms are so searching.... Psalm 73.17 comes to mind: "Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end."

@Addy I too find the idea of rolling a condom in the circumstances described and the memory of a shy and modest young lady with John 3.16 tattooed in full on her wrist area, as being starkly at variance, and I can see how some people would react against it. (I think we are all having a...

@Samara777 Yes, you're right about having a good discussion. I guess some would look at the question in terms of motive. For example, Paul strongly argued against circumcision being compulsory for believers in the Lord Jesus, seeing that it brought people back under legal bondage. On the...

@Addy Well, we all have our own body clocks... :)

@Addy Deacaffinated at this time of night? :)

@Samara777 My question is, Where does the authority come from to say that those with tattoos will be in hell? this is my question, really. Another question that ppl ask is, What of the context of the Leviticus 19 verse, 'for the dead'? I appreciate your willingness to discuss. (My point is not...

@Addy Paul said: "All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any." (1 Corinthians 6.12). Paul circumcised Timothy, not because there was any inherent value to it but because if he had it, then...

@Samara777 Thanks for your comment; and if what you heard was his or her personal conviction, that is fine. What I don't see it trying to attach the authority of God to any idea that all tattoo wearers must go to hell, irrespective of what they actually believe — which is what it almost sounded...
