Well, I'm sure this is true, and your niece is also likely to know more than most ppl would, if she herself has inked any of them, right? From being a overwhelmingly male thing to do years ago (sailors, bikers), it's now become a highly womanly thing (among so many walks of life) to do to...

John 3.16: 'God so loved the world, that...'

Well, Acts tells us: 'God now commandeth all men everywhere to repent'.

My understanding is that Biblical purgatory - the place where sins were purged - happened in full at the Cross: Hebrews 1: "He ... by Himself purged our sins" and is now seated at the right hand of God.

Seems like she's dedicated to it, then; and of course it's a profession that has opened right up for women in a big way, compared with how it was years ago.

Indeed, the doctrine of the Trinity is Scriptural.

But surely the Scriptures are sufficient in all revelation that God intends us to know?

So is your niece still intending to keep active with her tattoo work?

I reckon that "It is finished" is both what was said and done, and gloriously so. :)

We all laugh, don't we? :)

Outward testimony from God's Word together with strong, inward conviction: these two elements are important. So could you expand also on the purpose of your question?

YW; and I take it that it's not something that you would do yourself - to use as a witness tool - and you probably wouldn't like it either if Mrs. JohnPaul - if there is a Mrs. JohnPaul - wanted to do it; but anyway on some subjects it's likely that among Christians there is likely to be a...

@JohnPaul : Hey, no problem; my comment was really about how we are to understand the Biblical terminology in its context. I guess my general observation was that the young lady who willingly received her favorite Bible verse - John 3.16 in full - onto her wrist area, causing ppl to talk about...

I don't understand your point, Sir. John 19.25 says: “For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:”

Good reference to the passage in John 14, indeed.

PS: The context of the 1 Cor. 3 passage quoted is the defilement of fornication; it really would be a big stretch to apply it to Bible verse tattoos.

He said, "If I go, I will come again and receive you unto Myself" (John 14).

I don't think I have said that people ought to get tattoos. The plain fact is that so many do, including many Christians for witness reasons.

@Pearl ; While I'm addressing you, because you just clicked 'like', above, it's more a general comment to ppl, also. This is from tattooseasily dot com (and what it says about women would apply to men also, incl. your son) : (Thought it was quite a good explanation.)

Paul even uses a phrase like 'Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus' at the beginning of the sublime passage about the One who became obedient unto death, even the death of the Cross, etc.
