@Wynona It really does vary from one person to another, right? :)

@Wynona You are right - I think by implication? - that the person himself or herself does ideally need to - and the fact that the person got it done would probably mean that it's likely - be motivated to use it in testimony; or in any case a verse of Scripture can be a silent witness in itself...

@jessiblue With a dispensational understanding of Scripture, the indwelling of the Spirit has particular relevance for the church, which is from Pentecost onwards (Acts 2).

@LTMP14 This is basically the point I was making to @Wynona about it really being for the need to see the worthiness of the Saviour, Whom we so need...

@Wynona Whether Christians choose to have it done or not, all the young people with Bible verses tattooed that I have talked to seem to have theirs done for evangelistic reasons. This at least is worthy of respect, I reckon, don't you?

@Wynona: Reminds me of 1 Corinthians 15.33: "Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners." This is why prayer and the Scriptures and Christian fellowship are so important...

@WillTell: Great quote from Amos! I don't see it directly as being about the church, but it indeed has good application.

@Wynona; In the end it's not about introspection but about focusing on the worthiness of the Lamb of God, isn't it? :) "...Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing." Revelation 5.12)

@Wynona : Great post! :)

@Ziggy : So, cold turkey? or maybe she managed to do it via vaping? Of course, the secondary issue for some is, on the subject of medical marijuana, if someone like your daughter needed medical marijuana for pain relief (and I hope she doesn't need it), would using medical marijuana make...

@Ziggy: Reminds me of 2 Peter 3.18: "Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ". It never ceases; and we never stand still....

@Heart2Soul You've mentioned your daughters; so would it concern you if they used it as well, like your other family members do?

@Heart2Soul Good to encourage one another in the Scriptures...

@Heart2Soul So they all benefit from medical marijuana, then?

@Heart2Soul I do think if we keep 'looking unto Jesus' (Hebrews 12.2) and remember His dying love that took Him to the Cross for sinners, then this is a way, with daily prayer and the Scriptures, that we can experience the Lord's grace in not letting our own hearts grow cold...

@Heart2Soul This is the one your relative uses, then? so if you needed it medically and it worked, would you use it?

@WillTell There is so much that is stirring and of encouragement in 2 Corinthians... :)

@WillTell Great to see you on the forums... :)

@WillTell FYI....another thread I started...

@WillTell Good to see you here; God bless His Word to you...
