    Poll: Does the mainstreaming of tattoos open up increasing opportunities for faith ink witness?

    @Josho With its mainstreaming, it's just self-evident now, anyway, that's it's something that women participate in fully if they want to. (Hence also a lot of Christians would say that self-evidently it brings wide open many opportunities for faith and family based ink designs that easily...

    There is the verse about the redemption of the purchased possession, although admittedly this is about the payment made for people, for sinners...

    Poll: "ear piercings are fully accepted for both genders"

    Actually a lot of Christians like rock; and Disciple's Battle Lines is very effective with hard hitting Biblical lyrics. I don't recall promoting smoking at all; I remember a lot of comments around quitting smoking. Perhaps ppl read the nuances differently, I don't know...

    Poll: Does the mainstreaming of tattoos open up increasing opportunities for faith ink witness?

    @Preacher4Truth You're right anyway that, although it used to be overwhelmingly a man thing years ago and whether or not individuals of either gender happen to like it or not, these days and for a long time now getting tattooed is something that has very much as well become a womanly thing to do.

    entire sanctification is an obtainable goal.

    @Preacher4Truth There's always work to do for the justified believer, until the Lord calls us individually Home.

    Poll: Does the mainstreaming of tattoos open up increasing opportunities for faith ink witness?

    @Josho It's evident, anyway, that tattoos have been quite thoroughly mainstreamed; you yourself weren't surprised when your sister, whom you mentioned, got hers, were you?

    entire sanctification is an obtainable goal.

    Hebrews 1 says 'He by Himself purged our sins'; i.e., not the sins of all everywhere irrespective of faith, but of all who believe.

    entire sanctification is an obtainable goal.

    Paul never considered himself to have "arrived" at some supreme state of achievement: "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the...

    Poll: Does the mainstreaming of tattoos open up increasing opportunities for faith ink witness?

    @Josho Quite a long parlor session there, evidently... And I like the Proverbs 16.3 reference: "Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established." ( I can well understand the thought processes of a young man man or woman at around 18 at the outset of adult life as a...

    Poll: Does the mainstreaming of tattoos open up increasing opportunities for faith ink witness?

    @Josho ...or even 'GRACE' & 'TRUTH' (John 1.14). It has been said that the Lord Jesus held truth without legalism and grace without compromise.
