For some ppl its just natural to combine an occasional glass of wine with a cigarette, anyway.

@justbyfaith : Your good wife is of course most welcome to her subjective feelings about your possible ear piercing plans. It's clear in any case that men piercing their ears is very well established and very widely so. And I guess you might have an added, very strong reason for wanting to do...

So what you think is very subjectively - preferable for men: one ear or both pierced? (if at all)

Did she find it hard at first to live without getting her inhales?

Romans 8 is such a tremendous chapter: I myself keep going back to it again and again.

I see.. so she managed to overcome her need for inhales because of your encouragement and example...

I guess you guys thought that you wouldn't be able to control it otherwise, e.g., if you simply pursued social smoking. Some Christians don't drink wine at all. Other have an occasional glass; and some ppl appreciate the combination of an occasional glass of wine with a cigarette. Everyone is...

The Lord Jesus said: "Behold, the kingdom of God is within you" (Luke 17.21)

Great verses there! When it comes to technological developments, good always to stay rooted in faith to the promises of Scripture.

Oh okay! so she knows perfectly well what it is to be a smoker and would know how young ppl think if they wanted to start.

Hi, Ms. charity! so what do you make of Ephesians 5.24 & 25?

Great sentiment! Rightly dividing the Word of truth is so important.

Does / did Mrs. Dave L smoke? and did her or your views modify around the presence of any children? (I guess this is also one of the slants of the discussion.)

I think that it's clear that Father, Son and Holy Spirit are seen as distinct Persons in Matthew 28, John's Gospel chapters 13 thru 17, John's First Epistle. While completely united in Deity and working, the Persons in Scripture remain distinct.

Thanks. I wonder what she meant? :confused: Anyway, if she for example were double pierced each side, it would logically not be excessive if you had one piercing each side. She must know what she means, though; although if she considered that you really strongly wanted to do it - not least...

Oh it wasn't problematic! all your contributions are gratefully received! :) Some others here have taken the view that while they have proven unable to quit so far (and good if they eventually succeed in quitting), they would rather not be around children when they smoke.

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

Tithing is an Old Testament practice - even though some New Testament believers may choose to give freewill offerings of more than a 10th!

Acts 2.41-42 shows the practices of the early believers after they believed: baptism, continuance in the Apostle's doctrine, fellowsing, breaking of bread and prayers. :) They believed because they gladly received his word; they were not baptised in order supposedly to become believers.

John 1.14 also makes it clear that He became flesh while retaining complete Deity (and therefore the attributes of Deity).
