@Ziggy More great verses there...

PS: @Ziggy I reckon, though, that if one's 18 year old grandson - or granddaughter - was curious about smoking, a gift of cigarettes and lighter would still probably not be a good idea...right? or maybe you're not sure... (Following on a bit from the discussion on the other thread...)

@Ziggy Perhaps indeed it's apples and oranges... I would think anyway that if the 18 year old grandson were indeed known to be thinking about it already, then for grammy to buy him earrings for Christmas would be a perfectly good idea, wouldn't you think? (In addition to a good study Bible... :) )

@Ziggy You know, reading what you say, it makes a lot of sense.... :) Do it/ don't do it; it really ought to be up to him... But if he wants to do it, if he thinks it would be nice, just go for it, right? (I think these days, a young man having ear piercings should be no more problematic than...

@Ziggy Yes, I appreciate what you say. "Let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth." (1 John 3.18)

@Ziggy Thanks for your vote and comment. Quite apart from the symbolism - and, let's face it, it's often done with no symbolism in mind at all - it does seem to me that from a practical point of view it's hard these days for moms, if they themselves, with daughters, already have double ear...

@Ziggy More good Bible verses to remember...

YW, @Ziggy :) Thanks for your thoughtful comment. So, did you choose a possible poll reply yet...?

In Hebrews 7.25 it is the Lord Jesus Who is vitally interceding for those He has redeemed.

@Rita The believer, looking back, back at things learned and things changed by grace, can say, as in 1 Samuel 7.12: Ebenezer, 'Hitherto hath the LORD helped us'...

@Ziggy FYI....did you see/vote in the above poll?
