I guess he appreciated the thought...

So who has been to New Jersey? Some ppl think of NJ as an extension of NYC - after all, Liberty Island with the Statue of Liberty is within waters of the State of New Jersey because it's far nearer the Jersey shore than Manhattan. But New Jersey also has (some of) the Pocono Mountains and the...

Great Psalm! shows the Lord's supremacy. Thank-you again.

It's interesting that it's not repeated in the New Testament.

PS: If you could get the nicotine in a far less addictive way such as vaping, do you think you would have been able to stay in control of it more, rather than been controlled by it, so to speak? (Especially if you were always by yourself and not with others when you did it?) A lot of ppl find...

Anyone else with quit smoking stories?

@charity: I can see what you mean also; in fact, I would instinctively still do some of the things that are now going out of fashion. Maybe World War One had a lot to do with changing habits and perceptions; amazingly, in New York City at the beginning of the 20th century a woman was actually...

Sabbath keeping was all part of the Jewish law-keeping system; and Hebrews 7.12 shows that the law was changed and Hebrews 7.19 says that what we now have is better than the law.

A similar idea is 'mortify' in Romans 8! :)

I see what you mean; thanks! I can see that there is more awareness that it can harm others. Against this - and like you say, years ago it was very much a male thing, although women started smoking a lot, later - some ppl used to try to argue that it was not a 'ladylike' thing to do. (This was...

I see the rapture and the future manifestation of the Lord Jesus Christ in the world as two distinct stages.

@charity: I really love Psalm 90! Sentences such as 'we spend our years as a tale that is told' are rather memorable; and point is to 'number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom'.

Hi; so are you still enjoying some inhales or have you managed to cut down significantly yet? (I don't believe in guilt manipulation of smokers, as you may recall.)

@charity FYI, any comments? (Did you see the poll also?)

Interesting comparison!

Dispensationalists tend to interpret this passage as being similar to what is in view in the Old Testament phrase - often repeated - 'day of the Lord'. In other words, the wrath of God manifested in judgment on earth, a wrath of which the church by definition cannot be the object. Remembering...

Time spent in prayer and the Word is so rewarding! :)

I don't see in Scripture what must happen first before the Lord Jesus comes for His church.

I wasn't suggesting that you would have said anything negative about it. Seems like she was very willing to talk to you about the meaning behind her recently acquired inking. A lot of Christians use it as a witness tool because it is a proven effective way of starting conversations, so maybe...

The resurrection corresponds with the Feast of Firstfruits; and so Christians remember the Lord on the first day of the week rather than on the Jewish Sabbath.
