    PS: There's been quite a bit posted on the hard rock thread about October Glory and its presence on the Web. Well, I'm off to bed; have clients in the morning. Blessings

    Sounds good. And mom is okay about the style of music that you play on the piano at home, I guess? Blessings

    Re. Pastors, it's interesting that in Acts, such as in Acts 20, there were a few men who shared responsibility for the preaching; and elsewhere in the New Testament, pastors and teachers are mentioned in the plural; sharing it out like they are doing is good in that they are being exercised in the Scriptures together.

    Well, sounds like you are really settling in there, and involved. Do you have a piano or keyboard at home to practise on?

    Blessings.

    PS: Hope church was again okay today; seems like it's going like you hoped it would. We had a good and God-honoring time, too. Blessings.

    Hi there; I just replied about the October Glory; ty for the info; also to your tat post. Blessings.

    Just to put things in a bit more perspective, in relation to one or two threads, some of what we have been discussing generally relates to the relationship between the Old and New Testaments, I think, and the idea of being under the law, versus being under grace. This is seen for example on the one hand in Acts where Paul resisted Peter to his face about the issue of circumcision: there had been some professing Christians who had been teaching that it was necessary to be circumcised before being saved (not unlike the contemporary teaching of baptismal regeneration, but I digress). But then also Paul circumcised Timothy, not because of any compulsion, but as a voluntary step by Timothy who knew the Old Testament Scriptures and by doing so would at least be more likely to have a hearing on the part of Jews that he hoped to reach with the Gospel. If this all makes sense, I think that questions of legalism and matters of supposed compulsion are to some extent linked. Blessings.

    Hi there; FYI, Kaileymarie has just put some interesting posts on the tattoo thread. Blessings.

    Questdriven, I apologize if any of my posts were too strongly worded or seemed rather "scary" in the general talk forum. My hope is not to create doubt in you as to your salvation, but rather to see that you are prepared for the reality of being a Christian. I myself converted from being a staunch atheist, and wow has my life been harder... but wow.. has life with Jesus been better. We endure hardship, suffering, persecution as Christians (which is surely to grow) but we do so out of love and to join into the sufferings of our Lord Jesus, and we mustn't give in to fear and give up the race. Blessings to you in Christ, Servant of Jesus

    Thanks, questdriven! Yes, the bit in bold is well-stated.
    FYI, just to help you, 'coments' at the end should have two 'm's.
    I see you also say confidently, "I love rock music, including hard rock and heavy metal." Maybe as your thoughts developed you didn't always have the confidence to say so, but there must have come a time when you came to a realization.
    Blessings.

    I find music appreciation fascinating, BTW; your comments are very interesting. Blessings.
    farouk
    PS: Thanks for the link to your comments; I would generally agree with a lot of it. Blessings.

    Well, nice about the Christmas gift. Sounds like you have talent there. Personally I don't see much of a difference if say a necklace and earrings are matching are part of a set and then someone also gets a matching piece of pierced jewelry, too; but to each their own, I guess. (I see the rock music thread is active again.) Blessings.
