@TLHKAJ It used to be years ago that from a certain age some boys might get tattooed and girls might get ear piercings. Now, both girls and boys sometimes get both ear piercings and tattoos, when they get to a certain age. It seems it's what they do, especially if friends of their own age have...

I am afraid that the title of the thread seems to read like a variation of "When did you stop beating your wife?" 1 Thessalonians 4.16-18

@VictoryinJesus On the other thread you mentioned the theme of worry; there are indeed spiritual resources for this. One does recognize also that inhales can have a temporary calming effect, right?

@VictoryinJesus A touching story about the 9 year old granddaughter! :) I guess the subject is part of the bigger theme of acquiring wisdom in life; sometimes we learn sobering things which do us good nevertheless. Best of all is sanctified wisdom; I do love Robert Bridges' words: "Jesu, joy...

I don't see that being baptized and being 'confirmed' would make me a Christian. My experience by God's grace was that, as John chapter 3 shows, I needed to be born again, and I was indeed; I exercised saving faith in the Person and Work of the Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for me at the Cross.

@Ron Coates The increasing popularity of tattoo parlors is undoubtedly partly because whereas years ago it was what some men did, but now so many women - especially young women - do it, too, right? A lot of young Christians seem to be willing to receive faith based designs that they...

He is indeed the true audience...

@soul man As @Heart2Soul said, Getting tattooed seems to go hand in hand with being a nurse, so often, now; and you can see how see in any case Christian nurses might conclude that getting tattooed with a faith based design (Bible quote or ref. on wrist, or Christian fish sign <><, etc.)...

@soul man Reminds me of Hebrews 5.7-9: "...in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; 8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things...

@soul man Hebrews 7.12 shows that the law was changed. Hebrews 7.19 shows that what we now have is better than the law.

Yes, ....sad, sad subject...
