    When I was saved and the Holy Spirit entered me back in August, this was my first conviction. I had been a tattoo artist for 4 and a half years and left it behind me officially two days ago. I don't know where this new chapter will take me, but I am walking by faith and not by sight. All glory to God 🎉✝️💖

      People can see that tatoo is a sin because of its significance to the eyesight. But all of us have sin; only our Lord Jesus has not. Believing in our Lord Jesus and his sacrifice on the cross makes everything clean. This is the significance we need to have on sight (this is how we followed his command), and we value the forgiveness of sin. The command is to enter his kingdom, i.e., the Church of Christ.

      Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes.
      Cease to do evil,
      17 Learn to do good;

      “Though your sins are like scarlet,
      They shall be as white as snow;
      Though they are red like crimson,
      They shall be as wool.
      19 If you are willing and obedient,
      You shall eat the good of the land;

      You shall be devoured by the sword”;

      Christianity is a humanistic worshippers.
      Jesus isn’t God. Because even the Bible says God is not man
      Matthew 26-64
      Jesus saith shall ye see the Son of man sitting on right hand
      Hosea 11-9
      I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.
      Numbers 23-19
      God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
      A man who was born in a woman’s VAGINA and you Christian worship him
      Almighty God created Hellfire for evils
      And worst than evils are those who worship a man his name Jesus son of Mary Luke 2-21 Jesus was 8 days old when circumcised.
      Imagine god was born in a woman’s vagina & circumcised and put him in a cradle.
      May God guides you to the straight path
      Alhamdullilah for Islam God is God neither born neither gives birth to any
      Anything/Anyone you imagine He is not God our brain cannot comprehend what God looks like.
      You Christians are humanistic worshippers
      Don’t listen this evil man he will lead you to hellfire. God is God does not change God does not become a man because it does not fit His majesty.
      God is ever supreme high

      Yea, evolution. Here's why it makes no sense.
      If we evolved from monkeys...why are there still monkeys....
      There are only humans and monkeys. No in-between has been found.
      Makes no sense.
      So basically what they are saying is that millions/billion of years ago... half the monkeys were like "yo, were gonna evolve"
      Then the other half was like "na were good, well stay monkeys"😂
      If we evolved from monkeys, only 2 things would be possible.
      Either there are no monkeys, because we are all human now...or
      There are all kinds of human monkeys hybrid Planet of the Apes types running around. "Missing link"
      All a lie of the Devil.

      Paul states to remain and to stick to what you are, whenever you turn to Jesus and become a newborn person. That means you could keep tatooing people but perhaps only neutral drawings (such as flowers, some sort of pretty animals etc) and above all, "pushing" the person to tatoo a verse from the bible, there are so many from Proverbs and Qoelet that are very amusing...

    And then I am crushed with grief, when I think of the things He told me were bad, and I knew the scripture, and I did those things anyway.
    But I rejoice through my tears, because it makes His existence as obvious as that fallen one who lead me, so easily in to temptation.

      In fact, Jesus, who was a Jew, followed and was a teacher of Jewish law. The Old Testament (which contains Jewish law), specifically disallowed markings on the body. Leviticus 19:28 states, "Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the Lord." The concept of Jesus having tattoos is a modern invention by Satanic liberal fools seeking to send astray as many as possible away from the Lord and thus toward Satan. It does not have any basis in historical or biblical evidence.

      It reminds me how the Jews put that box on their forehead to represent keeping Gods word on their minds. It wasn't a mark though. Many say they feel it was ok to get tatoos, but did God tell them it was ok? We like to justify our motives, but is that what God wanted for us? Each has to go to God and if you feel its a no...then stop getting more. I have a sibling that did something and she said, God said it was ok. A year or so later, she repented. So you see, we must really seek God on matters and wait "patiently." Always use the word of God to direct you, and also be around strong men of God for council and prayer.

    Context is extremely important. The Bible also says not to wear garments of mixed fabrics and, of course, it also mentions many other things such as animals that we cannot eat. There was quite a bit of stuff in the Old Testament that was taken out of context and taken literally that Jesus came and espoused further on. THIS is one of those things that I believe is being taken out of context. We all know that it's a sin to look at a woman with lust, but, IMO, this is like saying that I can't look at a woman at all. Or believing that it is suicide to refuse care that would keep you alive. Murder is also wrong, but what of self-defense? The context matters. The WHAT and WHY behind the tattoo is what I believe matters. The Bible may not say that tattooing is a sin itself, however the simple fact that the Bible does not make such a claim does not mean that it is allowed to do so or that it recommends someone do it. However, we have to remember that we are ambassadors for Christ and we must exercise wisdom and prudence if having a tattoo is something we are considering. Getting a tattoo is personal and it can become a proud and selfish part of you without realizing it and THAT is where I believe that the line is drawn.

      God is not concerned about a tattoo. He’s only concerned about whether or not we believe in Jesus. Jesus changes the heart! It’s not what we put IN the body or ON the body that defiles us, but rather what comes from the heart that defiles us.

      💧THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God is saving man from the imminent destruction of this old world"
      (Jesus was able to complete God's instruction-the work of redeeming all mankind--because He gave careful consideration to God's will, without personal plans and arrangements. (The truth is, He is God Himself testified of God. I mention this here to use the fact of Jesus to illustrate the matter.) He prayed and said: "Father God! Do that which is Your will, and act not according to My wishes but according to Your plan. The weak may be man, but why should You worry about him? In My heart, I only want to do Your will, and I want You to do what You want to do with Me according to Your own wishes." Ultimately, He was crucified and took the likeness of sinful flesh, completing the work of redeeming mankind. He was freed from the bonds of death and Hades. Before Him, mortality, hell, and Hades lost their power, and were conquered He. Throughout His life, He endured immeasurable suffering for God, and He was tempted by Satan countless times, but He was never discouraged. God gave Him such a great work because God trusted Him, and loved Him, and so God said personally: "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." If, like Jesus, you have the ability to carefully take care of God's burden, and renounce your flesh, God will entrust you with His important work in you, so that you can meet the conditions for serving God. Whether you are in front of God, or in front of other people, your heart must always be facing God, and you must stand to love God like Jesus. In this way, God will make you perfect, so that you can be a servant of God according to His heart. In this way, God will not abandon you, and like Peter, you will lead those who love God.)
      Almighty God said
      JESUS was ABLE to COMPLETE GOD'S instruction---the WORK of REDEEMING ALL mankind---because He GAVE the ESSENTIAL care to GOD'S WILL, without PERSONAL PLANS and ARRANGEMENTS. So, likewise, He is the CONSORT of God---God Himself, which is SOMETHING you ALL UNDERSTAND VERY WELL. (The truth is, He is God Himself that God testifies to. I mention this here to use the fact of Jesus to illustrate the matter.) He was ABLE to put GOD'S MANAGEMENT PLAN at the VERY CENTER, and ALWAYS PRAYED to the FATHER in HEAVEN and DESIRED the WILL of the FATHER in HEAVEN. ☀️
      He PRAYED and SAID: "Father God! Do Your will, and act not according to My wishes but according to Your plan. Man may be weak, but why should You worry about him? How can the man in Your concern, the man who is like an ant in Your hand? In My heart, I only want to fulfill Your will, and I want You to be able to do what You want to do with Me according to Your own wishes." ☀️🙏
      WHILE on the WAY to JERUSALEM, JESUS ​​was SUFFERING, AS if a KNIFE was being TWISTED in His HEART, but He had NOT the SLIGHTEST INTENTION of ABANDONING His WORD; there was ALWAYS a MIGHTY FORCE URGING Him FORWARD to where He was TO be CRUCIFIED. Ultimately, He was CRUCIFIED and made in the LIKENESS of SINFUL FLESH, COMPLETING the WORK of REDEEMING mankind. 🙏
      He was LOST from the BONDS of DEATH and Hades. 🙏💐
      Before Him, MORTALITY, HELL, and Hades LOST POWER, and He was CONQUERED. 🙏🔅
      He LIVED for THIRTY-THREE YEARS, throughout which He ALWAYS did His BEST to FULFILL GOD'S WILL according to GOD'S WORK at that time, NEVER CONSIDERING His PERSONAL GAIN or LOSS, and ALWAYS THINKING about the WILL of GOD the FATHER. So, AFTER He was BAPTIZED, GOD SAID: "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." 🙏
      Because of His SERVICE before GOD according to GOD'S WILL, GOD PLACED the HEAVY BURDEN of REDEEMING ALL MANKIND on His SHOULDER and SENT Him to FULFILL it, He is QUALIFIED and DESERVED to FINISH this IMPORTANT WORK. In His ENTIRE LIFE, He ENDURED immeasurable SUFFERING for GOD, and He was TEMPTED by SATAN COUNTLESS TIMES, but He was NEVER DISCOURAGED. GOD gave HIM such a GREAT WORK because GOD TRUSTED Him, and LOVED Him, and so GOD PERSONALLY said: "This is My beloved son, in whom I am well pleased." ☀️🙏
      At that TIME, only JESUS ​​can FULFILL this INSTRUCTION, and this is a practical aspect of GOD'S FINISHING of His WORK of REDEEMING all mankind in the Age of Grace. 🙏
      If, LIKE JESUS, you have the ABILITY to thoroughly TAKE CARE of GOD'S BURDEN, and AVOID your FLESH, GOD WILL TRUST you with His IMPORTANT ACTIVITIES, so that you can MEET the CONDITIONS of SERVING GOD. 🙏💐
      Only in such cases will you dare to say that you are doing God's will and complete His instructions, and only then will you dare to say that you are truly serving God. Compared to the example of Jesus, would you dare to say that you are God's neighbor? Do you dare to say that you are doing God's will? Do you dare to say that you truly serve God? Now, you do not understand how to serve God, do you dare to say that you are God's servant? If you say you serve God, aren't you dishonoring Him? THINK ABOUT it: are YOU SERVING GOD, or YOURSELF? ☀️
      You serve Satan, but you stubbornly say that you serve God--in this way, are you not dishonoring God? Many people behind Me covet the blessing of status, they indulge in food, they love to sleep and carefully take care of the flesh, always fearing that there is no hope for the flesh. They do not fulfill their proper duties in the church, but take advantage of the church, or tell their brothers and sisters with My words, ruling over others from positions of authority. These people always say that they are doing God's will and always say that they are God's followers---isn't that ridiculous? ☀️
      If you have the right intentions, but are unable to serve according to God's will, you are being foolish; but if your intentions are not right, and you still say that you are serving God, you are a person who opposes God, and you deserve to be punished by God!
      I have no sympathy for such people! ☀️
      In GOD'S HOUSE, they TAKE ADVANTAGE, always covet the comforts of the flesh, and have no regard for God's interests. They always seek what is good for them, and they do not understand God's will. They do not ACCEPT GOD'S SPIRIT'S EXAMINATION of anything they DO. They ALWAYS MANIPULATE and DECEIVE their BROTHERHOODS, and they are TWO-FACED, LIKE a FOX in the VINEYARD, ALWAYS STEALING the GRAPES and TRAMPLING the VINEYARD. 😪

      Perhaps now, in your service to God, you always harbor the INTENTION of DECEIVING GOD and ALWAYS TREAT Him RASHLY. In other words, no matter what, if you CHEAT GOD, harsh JUDGMENT will COME UPON YOU. ☀️
      You must take advantage of entering the right path of SERVING GOD to GIVE your HEART to GOD first, without divided loyalty. Whether you are in FRONT of GOD, or in FRONT of other PEOPLE, your HEART must ALWAYS be IN FRONT of GOD, and you must STAND to LOVE GOD LIKE JESUS. ☀️🙏
      In this WAY, GOD will MAKE you PERFECT, so that you can be GOD'S SERVANT ACCORDING to His HEART. 🙏
      If you REALLY want to be made PERFECT by GOD, and so that your SERVICE is CONSISTENT with His VISION ABOUT FAITH in GOD, and CHANGE the OLD WAY of SERVING GOD, so that YOU can be MADE more PERFECT by GOD. This way, GOD will not FORSAKE you, and, like PETER, you will LEAD those who LOVE GOD. 🙏💐

    The argument, "Your body is copyrighted from God and you cannot modify it without God's permission" fails when you consider that surgeries regularly "modify" the body. People also regularly significantly modify the appearance of their body through non-surgical means as well, through diet, exercise, etc. Also, through ear piercings, makeup, clothing style, jewelry, etc.
    Isaiah 61:10 talks about brides adorning/modifying the appearance of their bodies with jewels for their husband, and it's a good thing. The Bible talks about people wearing earrings, and there is no problem with that. Abraham's servant gave Rebecca an earring and bracelets, on Abraham's behalf in Genesis 24. No problem there. In Exodus, it was a common thing for the women, daughters and even sons to wear earrings (Exodus 32:2). In Exodus 35:22, lots of women AND MEN brought bracelets and earrings and rings and jewels as an offering to the Lord. Those weren't evil things. Proverbs 25:12 compares "a word fitly spoken" as being like "an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold". In other words, a good thing. In Ezekiel 16, it gives an analogy, and talks about God cleaning a polluted person (representing Israel), decking that person with ornaments of gold, necklace, earrings, beautiful clothing, even placing a crown on her head. If God was doing this and describing this in positive terms, then it is not an evil thing.
    Jesus himself has permanent writing on his physical body in Revelation 19:16, where it says that on his thigh, he has a name written: "KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS". Some people interpret Leviticus 19:28 as referring to tattoos, but the word tattoo wasn't invented until the 1700s. The verse before Leviticus 19:28 talks about not trimming your beard. Are we not allowed to trim beards today? Why don't we cite that too? It certainly applied back then, when you understood the meaning back then, why the beard was being cut, it had a pagan religious context. Similarly, the "markings" or cuttings or brandings that were being described back then in Leviticus 19:28 had a very specific religious context in those heathen cultures.
    People would mark or brand themselves in worship to false gods, supposedly to help them with fertility, or as an expression of their service to false gods, or as being done "for the dead" as Leviticus 19:28 indicates. This was why those things were forbidden. God's people were specifically instructed not to follow the common pagan practices of those days. Similarly, in the New Testament, when Paul wrote to the Corinthians in (1 Corinthians 11) for women not to have short hair, this was an issue in the Greek Corinthian society with short haired women being associated with pagan temple prostitutes. It would be like living in a city where everyone that wears blue is associated with a particular street gang. Then a smart preacher says, "Don't wear blue so people don't confuse you with them." But consider this point: After writing what Paul did about women's short hair Corinthians 11, Paul concludes by saying, "But if anyone is contentious about what I am saying about this, we have no such CUSTOM, neither the churches of God." In other words, "This is my personal judgment, and my recommendation, but it's not some official thing we are doing, nor any of the churches." In other words, it's not actually a sin. People are free to exercise their own personal good judgment in this case.
    Generally, we must follow the dictates of our conscience. As Romans 14:23 states, if you do something that you believe to be a sin, that is the same as sin to you, even if wasn't something that the Bible defines as being a sin. Don't leap into doing something you feel uncertain about. As one minister aptly said, "If in doubt, chicken out."

People with large portions of their body can have liver problems, for instance, since our skin is one of our filtration systems for the body.
      However perhaps the worst part of it is that it feeds into vanity, and vanity is on the bad side of pride.
      People may ask, again, "why is it such a big deal?" when it seems so small, yet they seem to forget that Evil is conniving, duplicitous and subtle; unless you are vigilant, it can sneak in over time, and every little bit that acts as yet another reminder of vanity adds up over time.

And for those who have no testimony, My wrath against them is endless, and the rod will never turn away from them. On that day, their punishment will be more painful than that of foolish women. I am now only doing the duty that I must perform; I will bind all the wheat in the sheaf, along with the tares. This is now My work. The tares will be beaten during My threshing, then the grains of wheat will be gathered into the barn, and the tares that have been beaten will be thrown into the fire to be burned to dust. My task now is simply to bind all people in bonds, that is, to conquer them completely. What I ask now is your loyalty and obedience, your love and testimony now. Even if you do not know at this time what testimony is or what love is, you must bring Me your all, and give Me the only treasure you have: your loyalty and obedience. You must know, that the proof of My defeat of Satan lies within the loyalty and obedience of man, as well as the proof of My complete conquest of man. The duty of your faith in Me is to testify for Me, be faithful to Me and no one else, and be obedient to the end. So I advise you to be wise and not treat your life or the importance of your existence as worthless sand. You must know the significance of your experience in My work, and furthermore, the significance of your faith in Me. In fact, I have come to bring this age to an end. Therefore, I say to you as before: You must give your life to My work, and moreover, you must devote yourself to My glory. In addition, your testimony for Me is what I have long awaited, and I desire more for you to spread My gospel. You must understand what is in My heart.)
      Almighty God said
      Do you REALLY know NOW WHY you BELIEVE in Me? Do you KNOW the TRUE PURPOSE and MEANING of My WORK? Do you REALLY KNOW your ROLE? Do you REALLY KNOW My TESTIMONY? IF you BELIEVE only in Me, but NOT in My GLORY or do NOT SEE My TESTIMONY in you, I have REJECTED YOU long ago then. FOR those WHO KNOW all THIS, they are MORE than THORNS in My SIDE and in My HOUSE, they are ONLY STUMBLING blocks. They are mere weeds that must be completely swept out of My work, with no partial duty and no weight whatsoever; I have hated them for a long time. And for those WHO have NO TESTIMONY, My WRATH AGAINST them is ENDLESS, and the ROD will NEVER TURN AWAY from them. 🛑
      I have left them in the hands of the wicked for a long time, and they do not have any blessing from Me. ON that DAY, their PUNISHMENT will be MORE PAINFUL THAN that of FOOLISH WOMEN. I am NOW ONLY doing the DUTY that I must PERFORM; I will BIND all the WHEAT in the SHEAF, ALONG with the TARES. This is NOW My WORK. The TARES will be BEATEN during My THRESHING, then the GRAINS of WHEAT will be GATHERED into the BARN, and the TARES that have been BEATEN will be THROWN into the FIRE to be BURNED to DUST. 🛑
      My TASK NOW is SIMPLY to BIND all people in bonds, that is, to CONQUER them COMPLETELY. Then I will BEGIN to KNOCK to REVEAL the END of all people. So you must KNOW HOW to SATISFY Me NOW and HOW you must SET your FAITH in Me on the RIGHT PATH. What I ask NOW is your LOVE and TESTIMONY NOW. Even if you do NOT KNOW at this TIME what TESTIMONY is or what LOVE is, you must BRING Me YOUR ALL, and GIVE Me the ONLY TREASURE YOU HAVE: your LOYALTY and OBEDIENCE. 🙏🌷
      You MUST KNOW, that the EVIDENCE of My DEFEATING SATAN lies within the loyalty and obedience of man, as well as the evidence of My COMPLETE conquest of man. 🙏🙏
      The DUTY of your FAITH in Me is to testify for Me, be FAITHFUL to Me and NO ONE ELSE, and be OBEDIENT to the END. 🌷🙏
      Before I begin the next step of My work, how will you witness for Me? How will you be faithful and obedient to Me? Do you devote all your devotion to your duties or do you just give up? Would you rather submit to My every arrangement (be it death or destruction) or run away in the middle to avoid My chastisement? I will chastise you to bear witness to Me, and to be faithful and obedient to Me. Likewise, the chastisement of the present is to expose the next step of My work and to allow the work to move forward unimpeded. So I advise you to be wise and not treat your life or the importance of your existence as worthless sand. 🙏
      Do you know exactly what My coming work is? Do you know how I will work in the coming days and how My work will be revealed? You must KNOW the SIGNIFICANCE of your EXPERIENCE in My WORK, and furthermore, the SIGNIFICANCE of your FAITH in Me.
      I have done many things; how do you think I'll give up in the middle? I have done such a vast work; how can I destroy it? INDEED, I HAVE COME TO BRING THIS TIME TO AN END. 🛑
      This is the TRUTH, but more than that, you must KNOW that I will start a NEW AGE, to start a NEW WORK, and, ABOVE ALL, to SPREAD the GOSPEL of the KINGDOM. 🙏
      So you MUST KNOW that the WORK NOW is to START an AGE only, and to LAY the FOUNDATION for the SPREAD of the GOSPEL and BRINGING INTO THE TIME OF ENDING IN THE FUTURE. 🙏
      My work is not as ordinary as you imagine, nor is it as insignificant and meaningless as you may believe. Therefore, I say to you as before: You MUST GIVE YOUR LIFE to My WORK, and moreover, you must devote YOURSELF to My GLORY. 🌷🙏
      In addition, your TESTIMONY for Me is what I have WAITED for LONGER, and I DESIRE even MORE for you to SPREAD My GOSPEL. You must understand what is in My heart. 🙏🌷🙏

    Now I mean this with the utmost respect. First and foremost may God bless you all.
    I personally believe the points made in Leviticus are referring to blasphemous worship of false idols through self mutilation. We are told of this in the stories of Elijah, and how the fools who called themselves sorcerers and spiritual icons would cut themselves and make a spectacle of they're self mutilations in an attempt to get they're false idols to bring rain during a drought. Obviously this failed, however it is said that Elijah simply walked upon a hill and asked Our Lord for rain, and Our Lord did bring rain. And it's said the people cried out saying "The Lord he is God, The Lord he is God." I think tattoos in a general sense are forgivable. It is when you attach false idols to those symbols you walk toward sin

      Yes. Aside from the prohibition concerning getting tattoos, the 2nd Commandment expressly forbids making any physical representations of God, which would obviously include Christ since He is God. One of the things that makes this problematic is that when ppl get tattoos of Christ, it is often the false, trinitarian, long-haired, effeminate looking Christ that is worshiped by Catholics and Protestants.

      @@gmac6503 No I kinda agree with him, here's my proof!
      In the Bible, dietary restrictions are mentioned in the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy. The laws are part of the Mosaic Law, which was given to the Israelites by God through Moses. One of these dietary restrictions is the prohibition against eating pork, among other animals.
      The specific prohibition against pork is found in Leviticus 11:7 and Deuteronomy 14:8, where it is stated that the pig is considered unclean and should not be eaten. The reasons for these dietary laws are not explicitly stated in the biblical text, but some scholars suggest that they may have been given for health and hygiene reasons, as certain animals, including pigs, can carry diseases that can be transmitted to humans.
      However, in the New Testament, particularly in the teachings of Jesus and the writings of the Apostle Paul, there is a shift in emphasis away from strict adherence to the Mosaic Law. In the Gospel of Mark (Mark 7:19), Jesus is recorded as saying, "For it doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body." By saying this, Mark adds that Jesus declared all foods clean, suggesting a departure from the dietary restrictions of the Old Testament.
      Additionally, in the writings of Paul, such as in Romans and 1 Corinthians, there is an emphasis on faith in Christ rather than adherence to specific dietary laws. In 1 Corinthians 8:8, Paul states, "But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do."
      Therefore, from a biblical perspective, some argue that the dietary laws of the Old Testament, including the prohibition against pork, are not binding on Christians. Instead, they believe that believers are free to eat all types of food, including pork, as long as it is done with thanksgiving and in accordance with a conscience that is sensitive to the well-being of others (1 Corinthians 10:31-33).

      And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

      Because Jesus proclaimed all food consumable under the right conditions where as tattoos were never intended for Gods people. Just because god wants us to focus on the spirit don’t mean he doesn’t want us to respect our body. (temple/chruch)

    ❤ I have been saying and feeling this forever since the craze started ... people crave attention and want to be different but they are just parities of themselves there are many reasons including this explanation that tattoos are Ridiculous ... if you want attention do good deeds and live a God-fearing life ... I have whackier hair than President Trump it is my not so silent statement against tattoos ... my hair gets more attention than a man with tattoos piercings dreadlocks and nose rings ... this world is upside down but I’m holding fast to my faith in God I tell the story with my words and deeds not my body parts ... I guess I have become the anomaly 64 and not a dot of ink on me ... And no woman of mine will have Ink as well ... LEAD BY EXAMPLE... MARRY CHRISTMAS... I BACK THE JEWS ... TRUMP 24 ... SHALOHA... the gargoyle has spoken ❤
