Why joke about sinning ?
What is revealed thereby from the heart, coming out of the mouth(posts) ?
Do you disapprove of prompting conversations about John 3.16, that wonderful verse encapsulating the Gospel?

As a dispensationalist I would see that the Gospel - rather than the law or legalism - is the rule of the New Testament believer's life.

I suppose I could get Torah tattooed on my knuckles.

@Josho It most certainly is; summed up in those words is so much glorious truth and wholesome theology.

What do you reckon Torah tattooed on my left knuckles, and Grace tattooed on my right knuckles? :D

are you from new Zealand? if you were born into that place the Lord must really love you. that place is so beautiful sometimes i go to Gmaps and spend hours on streetview looking around.

So I replied to your post in my Inbox....been in NZ since a wee boy...North Island...now in Florida since after High School....Yes, NZ it is a gem of a country indeed....still miss it in many ways...would not miss the current left radical PM though.....when I was there we never locked our front door, ever...maybe if we went on a trip... The spirits of evil also invaded and influenced the people of God's own country over time like all countries....I guess.

Bless you,

I thought you would like this tattoo @farouk this is Nic Naitanui's tattoo on his back, a Christian AFL footballer for the West Coast Eagles.

@Josho Quite a long parlor session there, evidently...
And I like the Proverbs 16.3 reference:

"Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established."

( I can well understand the thought processes of a young man man or woman at around 18 at the outset of adult life as a Christian getting such a verse - with or without a matching design - inked in after a lot of thought and prayer.)

@Josho It's evident, anyway, that tattoos have been quite thoroughly mainstreamed; you yourself weren't surprised when your sister, whom you mentioned, got hers, were you?

Not on the wrist bro, that's too feminine. :eek::)
@Preacher4Truth You're right anyway that, although it used to be overwhelmingly a man thing years ago and whether or not individuals of either gender happen to like it or not, these days and for a long time now getting tattooed is something that has very much as well become a womanly thing to do.

No not at all.
@Josho With its mainstreaming, it's just self-evident now, anyway, that's it's something that women participate in fully if they want to.

(Hence also a lot of Christians would say that self-evidently it brings wide open many opportunities for faith and family based ink designs that easily become conversation-pieces.)
