Plenty of Biblical evidence for God in Three Persons.

Good for us all to encourage each other in the Scriptures, right?

Even a small prophecy like Malachi can be very challenging... :)

Hadn't heard of that one...

Good coffee in Latin America ... although I gave up coffee decades ago...

Very interesting book, Ecclesiastes! :) Good to read it in conjunction with what the New Testament reveals about the Lord Jesus as the wisdom of God (1 Corinthians 1.30).

Well, exactly. John 3 nowhere teaches that notion of becoming supposedly unborn.

He is a very thorough commentator, isn't he?

They do need to be Scripturally acceptable traditions.

There's likely to be plenty of ink at the beach these days (I think you commented not long ago); but you're right; a lot is not at all faith based. For the believer, good if the focus is on any faith based design rather than on the mere fact of ink - and it is a big fact now.

I know, but the point is we need to get beyond tradition; we were thinking this morning in Matthew 15, where the Lord challenges the traditions of the scribes and the Pharisees.

If ppl want to use it as a witness means, then the hand area would be a suitable, visible place, right? (After all, plenty of ppl - with no Christian message to give - have their knuckles inked, for example, don't they?)

I'm not in favour of promoting the R. C. Church, but I'm not in favour of a secular moral void, either... It's good to be identified as people of the Word of God.

Dull and rainy beginning to September...
