I like to consider Solomon's writings in the light of 'Christ...made unto us wisdom', as Paul wrote to the Corinthians. The passage about wisdom personified in Proverbs 8 is also remarkable.

I like the way the order is clearly stated in Acts 2.41-42. :)

Yes, it can be a confidence building thing.

(Words probably prompted by Ephesians: ) "All of grace, yes, grace surpassing Such a portion to bestow, But the love, all knowledge passing, Grace has taught us now to know. Love that bore the stripes and sorrow, Love that suffered on the tree, Love that shares the bright tomorrow With the...

I guess your background gives you quite a heritage of tribal style art which can be expressed in tattoos. Tribal armbands are well liked, often; and I think I've even seen a crown of thorns armband.

A bit difficult for meaningful fellowship if the whole grounds of professed life in Christ supposedly revolves around water baptism. (I don't see water baptism in John 3.16, Ephesians 2, etc.)

PS: I guess that Mrs SovereignGrace isn't into ink, either... (BTW: Great to hear of her recent profession of faith! God bless you guys reading the Word and praying together!)

Hebrews 9.14 makes it clear that it is the Spirit applying the blood to the conscience that purges sins. Water is a symbol, an answer of a good conscience toward God (1 Peter 3.21). You are teaching baptismal regeneration, which from Scripture I strongly see as false.

Excellent post. Unity without Biblical truth is a conspiracy.

Hi; good to see you.
