Lol...I must admit that, yes, well established :) Also one must always keep in mind that vaping is different from person to person. Many like the fruity flavors of the liquid. Some like the different type of tobacco flavors. It can be a trial and error thing to begin with-some like lots of...

This is the site I spent many years on to learn of the E-cig. It is one of the largest forums in the world and any and every question you might have about the e-cig, will be answered here: E-Cigarette Forum

People have to realize that it is not the nicotine that kills you, it's the carcinogens and many, many chemicals, and tar that kills. Nicotine just hooks you. Cigarettes even have embalming fluid in them. What's In a Cigarette? There are approximately 600 ingredients in cigarettes. When...

I suppose I should look back on these posts. I have cut down on the nicotine levels over the years but, I will not get rid of them altogether anytime soon, lol. I enjoy them and my many years of reading any and all things e-cig, I am convinced they (if allowed) kill the tobacco companies. I...

Ha!!! You are quicker than I on many things...if it is over my head, I re-read with prayer, sometimes I "get it" and sometimes I have to move on to the more simple :oops:;)

BTW- My personal belief is to also give above and beyond when you are able to! If He so deems fit to bless us financially, it is not for our own selfish gain but, to bless others with. ♥

"Let every person give as they have purposed in their hearts. " <---Fully agreed! I hope you, Epi., are not a proponent of those who tell one to "give till it hurts". No cheerfulness in that.

The hope I have is also about living in a place/realm/whatever that has no pain and suffering, where there is no sickness or evil and His perfect Justice will be forever. A place where we have hope of being with our loved ones who have gone on before us...not so much "stuff" lol.

Episkopos said: ↑ Answer this ...what is the kingdom life we are called into? Nancy said: ↑ "Christ Life. Transformed in spirit and mind." Epi said: "Christ life is kingdom life." That is just what I said so, yay we agree on this :)

Oh i have seen my share of Grammas with piercings and tattoos!!! It seems that in an attempt to be different, these fads just make everybody the same. It has been so long since I wore earrings, or any jewelry of any kind...I am surprised my ear piercings have not closed up! lol

I do like how you put that-abiding and not striving. If we strive, can that be looked at as "works of the flesh"? If we abide, it sure does "flow through us..." it becomes something our hearts want to do, not something we do against our wills, or, because we "should". ♥

Christ Life. Transformed in spirit and mind.

Yes, I do believe we are to give generously, it is just when one tries to tie down an OT Law and attribute it to Christians...(I know well what the word "Tithe" means and I still say we are NOT under it.) Christians then feel forced, and guilt ridden if they cannot make that 10%...The Tithe was...

I just see no point in anything unless we have HOPE of living in His presence in new bodies and totally spiritual in nature. What is there to even look forward to? :(

Oops :oops:

Well, maybe next week I'll bring a goat, and maybe some barley! There is no "tithe" for NT churches. We give cheerfully and what one can afford. And, Jesus was speaking to the pharisees who bragged on their giving-they were STILL under the law. And, I bet they were not wearing mixed...

Okay, I see your connection of the verses yes, i do believe that would be considered the least of the brethren. And, I guess we should never forget that we could also be entertaining angles unawares! ♥

Hmm, not sure I follow you here Epi. Trying to connect the verse of giving a cup of cold water in is name to being meek Tithing is the law, not grace-Jesus says to give from the heart, gratefully. There is NOTHING about a 10% "tithe" for NT believers. It's a ploy to bring in more to the...

Everything has it's limits...there will be no piercing other than my EARS, lol...I see the disfiguring when they do things like have their tongue forked, or when they put inserts under their skin like those who have what look like devils horns. Anything to get away from the original image of...

Neither do I Helen. Like I said before, I did it as a public proclamation of my love for and faith in Jesus and to confess Him wit many witnesses. I think it is symbolic.
