S/he won't want to! Indwelling sin is still there until we are raptured or die; but we need to take up our crosses daily and follow Him.

Wonderful advice for a believer! :) We need to keep 'looking unto Jesus' (Hebrews 12.2), indeed...'and the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace'.

The Lord Jesus returned to the Father and left His church indwelt by His Spirit to do things greater in scope, in that sense. I don't appreciate you apparent argument that the Son of God is not to be worshipped, when the Bible clearly says he should be.

@Mayflower : PS: I guess what Dr Beth S. MD in the quote above means, in summary, that getting tattooed is a far better alternative for a young person than acquiring the cutting habit (this is why I wondered if you thought that you might have been able to have overcome your cutting habit earlier...

Hebrews 1 is clear to me; and I don't feel the need - perish the thought - to take away from worship in the fullest sense for God's beloved Son.

I guess what I meant was that some grammas have probably continually worn multiples for 40 years; it really is that well established a practice.

Seems like it's already been positive for your friends. Although when one is a bit (?) stressed and feels a nicotine urge, it's maybe slightly easier just to go to the convenience store or garage to be able to light a cigarette quickly, rather than to make the preparation of getting the...

If you feel you have to smoke some more, would you be likely to consider vaping instead of going back to cigarettes?

@VictoryinJesus FYI, I've started a wide variety of threads; did you see this recent one?

Also: "...My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous" (1 John 2.1).

3 one side and 2 in the other as you have, would have been slightly edgy and the height of fashion when it started to be done 40 years ago...but now it's just very nice and not remotely unusual and confidently done by both teens and venerable grandmothers.

I don't see it in Scripture that the church - properly speaking - was there before Pentecost. As dispensationalists often say, it's good to be clear whether one is speaking of the Jew, the Gentile or the church of God (1 Corinthians 10.32). Great verses that you quoted, though I don't see the...

Hebrews 1 makes it clear that the Lord Jesus is to be worshipped: He is the brightness of God's glory, Whose throne as God is for ever and ever; let all the angels of God worship Him.

Bible Gateway on screen, and count the references to Father, Son and Holy Spirit in John 13 thru 17 and in Romans 8. I sense you are not open to seeing Father, Son and Holy Spirit in Scripture, however, so my efforts are possibly futile.

Some wonderful principles and pictures there of divine principles. As the specific entity of the church - the revealed mystery of a heavenly people which began in Acts 2 - I don't directly see it in the Old Testament.

Great Psalm; we were in the Psalms in our Bible class yesterday.

Great verse there. Such a lot of wisdom in Proverbs.

Romans 8.38-39 is a great passage about the believer's eternal security.

Sorry about your past cutting problem; glad you've overcome it now. Do you think that if you had gotten tattooed earlier than you did you might have been able to overcome earlier your cutting habit? Often 18 is the age when first ink occurs. I saw this quote by Dr. Beth S., MD: "Embracing the...

Hi; good to see you.
