@stunnedbygrace : So art in the window like a gallery is really what @Mayflower was drawing attention to. (Although as you can see she's also talked a bit about getting tattooed as well.) People can go into parlors - without the slightest intention of becoming tattooed - and look at the...

Great that their art sense isn't exclusively focused on tattoos. Tattooists are after all artists, so they can reasonably be expected to have a strong and deep aesthetic sense. (Are you good at art?) Yes, it seems that so many tattoo parlors are opening up, aren't they? Interesting - even funny...

...but these verses do not say that the church is Israel. I'm not under the law, either. Hebrews tells me that the law was changed. It also tells me that what we now have is better than the law.

Yes, the language of John's Gospel and of 1, 2 & 3 John are rather similar. :)

The church hadn't begun in Matthew 1. It began in Acts 2. I belong outside the camp, with the discarded, burned carcasses of the beasts whose blood was brought into the sanctuary under the old and surpassed system. I'm in the place of reproach outside the camp and it's where the Lord Jesus is...

Aren't such commentaries Reformed? and weren't the editors that put in marginal references also of a similar, rather than a dispensational, outlook?

My wife and I these days are reading through John's Gospel together. :)

...so the issue is really that of some ppl wanting to become lords over other people's consciences on matters apparently secondary and less than clear in Scripture.

Where is the church mentioned in Isaiah 65.9?

So you like asymmetricality! Years ago having one each side was the 'default' setting; but 40 years ago teenaged girls - and their moms - started getting 2 (or 3) each side, so that for so many now doubles/triples have become the standard, 'default' setting, so to speak. Today it's the boys who...

Must be a different book I'm reading. The one I read says the church began at Pentecost in Acts. The Old Testament speaks a lot about Israel's future on earth, but the volume I read doesn't seem to refer to the church in the Old Testament. At all.

If you have a clear conscience, quit wholeheartedly or inhale wholeheartedly. Before the American Civil War it was actually very widespread on a Sunday for women emerging from church to take out their pipes and smoke them. (The better the day, the better the deed, so to speak.)

I don't see the church in the Old Testament.

Referring to something in your post #46. The antecedent of which was a reference to young men at our local church, with whom you are probably not acquainted. Thank-you.

If @stunnedbygrace indicates she smokes with a clear conscience, then your phrase here is far from accurate, to say the least.

YW. My wife experiences it as well.

Reminds me of Eck with whom Luther disputed...

I think you were talking to @stunnedbygrace rather than to me...:)

Thanks for the response.

It would probably be a good idea if there were more Christian tattoo artists. Maybe more Christians with art skills should consider apprenticing. A good atmosphere in a parlor does mean something to a lot of people. PS: @Mayflower (since the other thread was discussing), maybe you would agree...
