@Rita, Well, when all this eventually — eventually — blows over, a lot of sudden experts will likely do a lot of blaming.

I don't see the Lord's Supper in John 6 at all; John 6 is indeed speaking of saving faith in the Person and Work of Christ.

@Nancy There's no need for Christians to get a tattoo. Although so many (soooo many...) do.

It could be said that for John, his experience was: 'the things of earth will grow strangely dim / In the light of His glory and grace'.

It's spiritually healthy to keep 'looking unto Jesus' (Hebrews 12.2).

Just goes to show after Pentecost how essential the indwelling of the Holy Spirit has been.

There is a lot of secularism in psychology. Why should I even trust a secular psychologist, when for example the Psalms are so rich, with every range of human emotion, the highs, the lows, the anguish, the joys, the Messianic content, the sure faith. @soul man does have a very strong point.

@Josho As far as Christian doctrine from the Bible is converned, it's pretty irrelevant to whether a young guy happens to have earrings. It's very widespread, though: Men's Ear Piercing: Fathers and Sons

@Josho; you've been following this thread quite closely; so did you see the latest posts?

I guess this thread is about earrings, rather than the other long list that you made; but fine... @Helen pointed out, above: 'Israel men and women wore gold ear rings ...when Moses was taking gifts of gold and precious things for the building of the tabernacle and the vessels...they all took...

Thanks to all who voted so far in the poll! NB: If you have not yet voted in the poll, please vote now! :)

Hi @charity I don't fully grasp what you are saying; are you implying annihilationism rather than the eternal punishment of the wicked? (Sorry if I misunderstood you.)

While the average young man with ringed ears would probably be somewhat baffled by your comment, it does indeed fall well within the scope of fair comment, indeed... :rolleyes:

To be honest, I had never made that comparison before...
