@MatthewG The word of God is 'the sword of the Spirit'; its central theme is indeed Christ. This is why prayer and the Scriptures lie at the heart of testimony and the Christian life. :)

@LTJMP14 Hebrews 1 is so clear about the distinction between the Lord Jesus - the eternal Son - and angels. Such a clear chapter... My mind seems to keep going back again and again to Hebrews, such a glorious Epistle...:)

@LTMP14 Thanks for your comment. You mentioned your own children's tattoos; so any of them faith based? or if they are not, would you have been more pleased if they had been faith based, such as in John 3.16 design that the young lady that my wife and I talked to, had? I guess there are various...

@MatthewG In the end, the Spirit guides God's people 'into all truth' (John 16.13), right? :)

PS: Does anyone know whether, like nicotine, marijuana can come in very low doses? because this would all be part of the equation, I guess...

@LTJMP14 PS: GodsGrace said: ↑ GodsGrace is right about just how widely it's done — it seems to go with the territory at that stage of life, so to speak — and so some would say that because she really wanted to have hers done with John 3.16 is all to her credit, if you see the reasoning?

@MatthewG Thanks a lot for your general thoughts that are indeed Christ-focused. They are indeed borne of conviction, I can see clearly. (You might prefer then not to be specific about Christian 16/17 year olds being introduced to the potentials of faith based tattoo artwork by Christian...

One God in Three Persons; Three Persons in One God - a Scriptural description indeed!

@Truman the Levite So do you buy the pain relief medical usage idea of marijuana, now that's it's widely legalized?

John 1 is so full of truth! :)

@LTJMP14 It goes to show how vitally important truly Biblical doctrine about the Person and work of Christ indeed is...

PS: @Addy Great header verse there from Psalm 91! :)

@Addy Oh I agree with that! :)

@Addy said: ↑ Stated differently, perhaps, so you really do think their testimonies are indeed credible?

@MatthewG Or maybe had you ever thought that now you believe something totally different, it could in fact be a design that could be added to/ completed to reflect what you now believe? (perhaps you already thought of that but dismissed it?)

YW @MatthewG All the young Christians that I have talked to who have Scripture tattoos seem to have had it done for evangelistic reasons, anyway. I guess that now you are really at a different stage of life from the 18 year old young Christians that plan their tattoos in faith based designs...

@MatthewG So have you now given it a bit more thought to how others might be motivated with such a design? (maybe your motivation was different; IDK...)

@GtoR FYI.... thread I started...

The name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost is part of the baptismal formula at the end of Matthew 28, in the Great Commission.

@Taken: Logically, adding to Scripture is really taking away from its authority....
