@Pearl The photo seems to be like for an exhibition...nowadays if such lady had tattoo sleeves, ppl might say, Oh, nice... but it wouldn't be thought of as a circus exhibit or whatever. Maybe more for a parlor portfolio. Like you said, even though they wouldn't necessarily all be as big,

@FluffyYellowDuck Hebrews 7 is so similar, isn't it? The law was changed, and what we now have is better than the law (v.v. 12 & 19).

@FluffyYellowDuck I don't get the impression that those would be your convictions now, right?

I think the JWs have a similar idea; but I don't know exactly what T. believes.

@FluffyYellowDuck (from the other thread; more on topic here) Good point, when there are ref.s to it being given by divinely approved sanction, as in Genesis, Ezekiel, etc.

@firstthings1st. It can be so profitable to go through John's Gospel, verse by verse....

I think the point of the New Testament is that it is individual faith in Christ that saves, not circumcision, bloodlines, etc.

@FluffyYellowDuck Great verses there! It's also good to remember that Romans 14 says: 'Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind', that is, exercising Christian liberty in matters which are not of direct, doctrinal import.

I do also think part of the lesson of Galatians is that it's so easy for the church to slip back into rules and law keeping, obscuring the pure simplicity of justification by faith in Christ. I have been reading Edersheim on the Temple and he shows how the rabbis would add more and more things...

@Pearl Thanks. Yes, for your daughter now she was able to get something nice done confidently without it being remotely controversial, wasn't she?

@Pearl Such an amazing Psalm...

@Marvelloustime Great verse! and I do love Luther's hymn, A mighty fortress is our God, based on Psalm 46...

@FluffyYellowDuck Thanks for the 'likes'; I do think that the second of the two Ephesians designs, above, is probably the more effective of them (you would probably agree; I'm guessing you have quite an aesthetic sense).

Baclklit's comment is a reminder of the supreme importance of emphasizing care in studying Scripture prayerfully.

@FluffyYellowDuck I added some photos of designs from Ephesians just now, above...

@FluffyYellowDuck Oh do I know the feeling... But this has always been a hazard for those who are bookworms, which I think you probably are...

@SkaraBrae FYI....another thread I started...

@FluffyYellowDuck I think you are still quite young (it's a blessing!) but for many of us the time comes when print size and clarity becomes a big issue...
