    John 6:66 - Why did many disciples stop following Jesus?

    @Prayer Warrior Indeed so; I'm convinced that the whole area of interpretation is one which the professing church has fallen down very badly sometimes. At the Renaissance and Reformation, interpretation was all about words and their meaning in context, in writings, whether Scripture or wherever...

    Faith-based tattoo: as a result of one, did you ever talk with someone? (Poll included)

    @Prayer Warrior No need to comment any more if you don't want to. What I am wondering - leaving aside the fact that inks have greatly improved in quality - is whether in fact the desire to testify even using this means can and is by some ppl regarded as healthy. My wife and I talked to a young...

    John 6:66 - Why did many disciples stop following Jesus?

    @Prayer Warrior This is also why for preachers and Bible students to pray before reading and study of God's Word is so healthy. We do indeed need the gracious leading and illumination of the Holy Spirit, Who shall not speak of Himself, but shall testify and glorify the Lord Jesus, the central...

    Understanding MPD/DID & SRA/MK

    @TLHKAJ I remember some concentration camp survivors. They indeed would have suffered unspeakable horrors and the memories were always there, not doubt. I don't know that they were Christians. In a sense moving on is also morally compelling.

    @Prayer Warrior Yes, the truth of Isaiah 53 comes home there.

    Understanding MPD/DID & SRA/MK

    @TLHKAJ This is so well done. Did you do any more such songs? (this is you, right?) Solemn, moving subject.

    ‘...because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot,...’

    @VictoryinJesus This is why also in the nature of things if a husband and wife are indeed united in the Lord they can together be a great blessing, in testimony to others, and indeed to one another.

    Excellent; and his styles from one painting to another are quite different also.

    John Darby

    @Naomi25 FYI: Darby's commentary on Ephesians 1 actually stresses the sovereignty of God in a way that Reformed writers would indeed recognize.

    Marriage

    @VictoryinJesus I'm reminded also of Proverbs 31. :)

    Faith-based tattoo: as a result of one, did you ever talk with someone? (Poll included)

    @VictoryinJesus Part of the broader background also is that after 18 ink - to a very limited or larger extent - is indeed how so many of her generation express themselves now. (Long gone are the days when it was merely a male biker/sailor thing.) The fact that you love it as part of her...

    Vaping problems? / benefits?

    @VictoryinJesus Do you see the tax regime in your state on cigarettes / vapes changing at all? or maybe it wouldn't affect you anyway. As @Nancy says, in some areas Native American trading posts sell less expensive products. Up here in Canada, the First Nations gas stations seem to be cheaper...

    ‘...because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot,...’

    @VictoryinJesus In the same vein, I love Isaiah 25.4: "For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall."

    I think this picture is excellent, anyway.

    @Pathfinder7 So are more such conferences / sessions planned on the theme?

    @TLHKAJ Oh, that verse is very strengthening to the believer...

    Understanding MPD/DID & SRA/MK

    @TLHKAJ People who indeed have to an extent "been there" are also able to minister the Word to sufferers more effectively.
