I don't know if tattoos are a sin. Scripture does not specifically mention tattoos or marking your body except for the dead as in mourning like the pagans do. But God throughout the Old Testament does mention that He doesn't want His children worshipping the gods of the pagans or following/accepting pagan customs. Tattoos are pagan customs. I hate to burst your bubble but... Leviticus 18:3 (NKJV) 3 According to the doings of the land of Egypt, where you dwelt, you shall not do; and according to the doings of the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you, you shall not do; nor shall you walk in their ordinances. That pretty much spells out do not get tattoos. If you already have, then maybe try to remove them if you can afford it. If you are clinging to them after being saved, why are you clinging on to them? I had thought about getting a tattoo when I was in the Marines, but I didn't. I'm very glad I didn't.
This was a REALLY GOOD TEACHING people in the comments saying that he’s a false teacher really just don’t know how to read, study and interpret scripture
I WAS A TATTOO ARTIST AND I GAVE MY LIFE TO THE LORD AND GOD TOLD ME HIMSELF IT WAS NOT HIS WILL AND WAS A SIN. I WAS MAKING ALOT OF MONEY 💰 BUT GOD SPOKE TO ME AND TOLD ME IT WAS A SIN...I QUIT AND NEVER LOOKED BACK... SHE IS DECIEVED AND SHE IS DECIEVING MANY.....
That was His message to You!! Maybe because He didn't want you tattooing certain things on people like you used to, and for the wrong reasons they wanted... But that doesn't mean that tattoos are bad for people to get, nor does it mean that someone else is deceived. Maybe you are
@loralilmsitaly3065 Did you not read where God said IT WAS A SIN ... See this is how the flesh wars with the Spirit.... The word of God speaks against it and God himself told me it was a Sin but because of the the Love your Flesh has for Sin you dismiss it all and support and stand with Sin rather than with the the Truth , what happened to you yo....
What God tells YOU is not what HE Tells others like you....people with tattoos are still loved by God, in spite of .. did you not read in the Bible that some people in Jesus time have His name tattooed on their hands? and they were not condemned for doing it..
Matthew 7:15 ESV “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. Some preachers twist the bible to justify their wrong doing.
I wonder if his views on tattoos have changed as he has matured in the faith. Firstly, he is correct in recognizing that people who quote Lev 19:28 as a reason for having tattoos is a sin are not properly interpreting the passage in its proper context. Secondly, it is very hypocritical and inconsistent to tell someone that having a tattoo is a sin, all the while wearing a dri-fit shirt or clothing made of two kinds of materials (Lev 19:19). With that being said, I believe for the children of God living under the new covenant that Jesus has ushered in through his blood (Jer 31:31-34; 1 Cor 11:17-34), the Old Testament (OT) restrictions do not apply. Jesus has fulfilled all the OT rules and requirements on behalf of humanity and has brought us out from under the law to the freedom of grace (Gal 3:23-28). Yet in this new covenant of grace, we are held to higher standard where we must live in love - of which we are commanded to lay down our lives for one another (John 15:13). Practically, that means we ought to honor one another above ourselves, not equally to ourselves (Rom 12:10), and we ought to consider the interest of others above our own (Phil 2:1-5). The preacher was right in instructing youth to talk with their parents before making the decision to get tattoos because it put the interest of parents above their own, and it honors the parents. However, the principle of honor and the interests of others is not regulated to children, youth, minors, or young people but to all people. In fact, especially as a leader within the church, greater care must be given to avoid stumbling the faith of others (Rom 14; 1 Cor 8)! Paul says about caring for the conscience of others: "Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak. 10 For if someone with a weak conscience sees you, with all your knowledge, eating in an idol’s temple, won’t that person be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols? 11 So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge. 12 When you sin against them in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. 13 Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause them to fall" (1 Cor 8:9-13). The principle here is that yes, you may have the freedom to certain privileges, however true love does not exercise the right to those privileges for the sake of others. That is why in the Assemblies of God, ministers make a commitment to abstain from alcohol. It is not a sin to drink alcohol (getting drunk is a sin), but ministers abstain from drinking for the conscience of others. How much more, should tattoos be abstained from if it stumbles others! May we, the church and family of Jesus, learn to lay down our rights and freedoms for the sake of others as Jesus did for us in dying innocently and vicariously for us. Amen.
Israel The exercise of Good judgement when become to Holiness is Become Rare in this times. And What you say is so on the point Here is something to add to the Thought. Measuring Devices are tools use to seek standards of application. The Law of Moses Shows how we can measure right from wrong . The Jews Heritage has brought moral framework to the Christianity and Jesus Lived By them and Follow them and By doing so, He was approved by The Father. Although No Jesus follower will be justified by the Law That doesn’t disapprove that The Law was a Good measuring tape. The day that Jesus Followers Walk away from The Moral Framework of Jesus’s compass his followers will become Lawless Followers with out directions. With out a tape to know right from Wrong.

No! Real Christians won’t get mad. It’s not real Christians who will stand before God and answer did justifying this foolish talk. That’s on this nut up there.
@@Proverbspsalms nobody is staying against God, or in front of him. There is a difference between a relationship with God Nd a religion. God never wanted a religion but a relationship
@A P so u are saying that all Christians who ain’t religious are from the devil? Let me remind u that Jesus came as an example to how we should live. He showed us what it’s a real Christian. Nd being religious wasn’t one of those things he showed us
@@boitumelomorokolo8659 many people take the Bible out of contexts. U guys judge us bc we don’t want to live in a religion, but in a relationship with God.
So many false teachers twisting the words in the Bible to justify the practices of a corrupt world. This man is leading people down the wrong path. People are so desperate to justify their disobedience. All the while forgetting that no matter what this man says, we are all judged by the Most High in the end. I guess we've reached the part when evil is considered good and good considered evil.
What you deem evil that one does to themselves, what made it your business in the first place? We should end the problems we do to each other, not to ourselves. You're an individual, I'm an individual. Don't judge me for what I'm allowed to do that concerns no one and vice versa.
I am not evil by any means just because I have tattoos, God doesn't care about what's on my flesh he cares about my heart, my flesh will perish but my spirit will not! This is the problem with alot of none tattooed Christians that we tattooed people are evil or unworthy.
Here is the scripture where it is found in the Torah. NKJ Leviticus 19:28 `You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the LORD (Lev. 19:28 NKJ) 1. Cuttings - In Hebrew שֶׂ֣רֶט (Lev. 19:28) pronounced Sa’ret. Meaning incision or scratch drawing of blood. Make gashes in oneself (a pagan mourning ritual) inflict a wound on oneself (KBL), injure oneself grievously, badly 2. Tattoo- In Hebrew קַֽעֲקַ֔ע (Lev. 19:28) pronounced ka’ahka. Meaning incision drawing blood, and imprintment.This word only occurs once in the whole of the Tanach (Old Testament), 3. Marks In Hebrew כּתֹ֫בֶת (Lev. 19:28) pronounced k’tovet. Meaning writing, inscription (mark or sign) When we read the Scriptures we switch our biased thoughts off. We enter reading the scriptures in neutral mode. We do not force our biased opinions and prejudice on the Scriptures. To change an error in our thinking is the hardest thing to do. But to live our life in a lie destroys you and negatively impacts and destroys other innocent people who interact with you. So choose life in Him and follow His way, not your way. If we cannot do the smallest things for Elohim (God) and our Mashiach (Messiah) how can you do the largest things for Him! The largest things are made up of the smallest things. So if you fail at the smallest things you will never be able to do the large things for Him. If you fail the First Commandment - which you shall Love Him with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might/willpower you will never be able to keep the rest; and your understanding of His words become corrupted with arrogance and prideful understanding and not His. We must never place our will, our understanding, and our interpretation of the scriptures above YaHVaH Elohim (God) and our Mashiach( Messiah). Shalom Samuel
My take, and I know it's consistent with the word and way of the Lord is that our bodies is the temple of God. We must be careful NOT to desecrate the temple of God. Again, whatever we do must honor God. If someone had a tattoo in ignorance before coming to Christ, that's it. But as a Christian, you can't go get a tattoo!

People the law is the law. He is varying from scripture. This isn’t levitical law this is the law of God. One law Gods law. He’s in error. No do not get tattoos.
@@joshuavenegas6291 not true. Prove it please. The judicial system of God is still in effect. The judicial punishment system has been out of Jesus at the cross. No. You’ve been taught a tradition of men.
If you get a haircut or beard trim you break Levitical law too, stop pointing the finger. You think the divide is what Jesus wants? A lot of you are saying don’t conform to this World but you have a phone and car and spread hatefulness instead of love. Tattooed or not Tattooed he still loves you and wants a relationship with you. No one is beyond the love and blood of Jesus. Thank you Lord!
Let me ask. Is a tattoo a desire of the spirit or of the flesh. Does it edify the temple of Christ (aka your body. Does this satisfy God, does it honor him, is it obedience to God, is it prioritizing The Lord? Though the old laws may no longer condemn us, they still apply. God is the same as yesterday, today, and for ever is he not? Does not the word say the our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit of God? Are we not to be a royal priesthood. Aren’t we supposed to seek The kingdom of God and his righteousness first. Are we not to follow in the steps of Christ and his Apostles being him the foundation, are we not to separate ourselves from the world and the traditions, did Jesus not rescue us to from the mud to be new creatures in him? Plainly speaking, the tattoo is not the sin, it’s the act of putting one’s desires first thus putting God second. He who wants to be my disciple Jesus said, deny yourself, pickup your cross and follow me.
It also says do not kill. Is this pastor trying to lessen God's Word? I understand what he is saying, I have doubt about the way he is teaching. *_God Bless_*

My brother no where does the Bible say you may have tatoos,our bodies is still the temple of God ,and we must present it holy unto God.Remember blood are being spilled when you getting one,what are you sacrificing to.
Revelation 19:16 New International Version On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: king of kings and lord of lords. Not I'm not here to argue but just following your logic according to this verse Jesus has a tattoo on his thigh so your logic doesn't follow... The truth is there is more than enough context to explain the one verse that folks use to condemn tattoos so unless you have another that is in context then you are simply creating your own bondage which is the opposite of what Christ came to do....
Don't mistake Holiness for legalism, we don't win God's approval by good deeds, the law isn't our ticket to heaven. We become Holy by Loving others just as God has loved us despite leading the sinful lives we lead, don't forget the pit God took you from, He placed us on pedestal to teach and brings others on that pedestal with us through love not judgment. If you don't want tattoos, I really don't understand why you need to watch this video or condemn others for thinking otherwise.
@@entlechaba6511 Some people like tattoos in their faces also...SO SOME IN THE CHURCH WORLD IS SO BLIND THAT WOULD SAY IT'S OK!!!OH MY! OH MY! NO WONDER THE WORD OF GOD SAYS THIS AGE IS BLIND NAKED MISERABLE AND KNOWETH IT NOT!
Thank u!!! That I believe 100%. I have a tattoo but I wanted to hear it from my mother, my family and husband first. I discuss my reason for doing it, if they said yes, then ok. It not, then I won’t. A part of me wants to get a dove with a cross on my wrist as a motivational tattoo. My family said ok; but I’m still thinking
@@beeree5463 No, not yet. But after feeling conflicted about it for so long and feeling fear from people saying how sinful tattoos r, I asked god for a sign to help me. I’m not doubting anything in the Bible, nor am I saying people r wrong. But I don’t believe tattoos will send me to hell, in fact I believe that they stay with our mortal bodies and our soul arrives clean. But I told god that, even if I did get another tattoo, my love and faith in him will never ever change. I thanked him for everything he has done for me, (past and present) and I told him that I never want to loose him. I asked him for a sign that he’d always b with me, no matter wat I decided. And as soon as I said that a bluebird appeared on my bird feeder, (my first tattoo is also a bluebird). My heart grew so much bigger that day. Yea tattoos r not great; but if you love god and believe with all ur heart and soul, he’ll always be with u and love u forever. That’s wat I strongly believe.
People should speak to those involved in deliverance ministries to have greater understanding of what can (not will) arise when you have tattoos. This is not an argument about salvation but tattoos can open up one to horrific demonisation. Paul says all things are lawful but not all things edify.
So you go to your family and this person up here whose saying absolutely nothing and justifying tattoos and his stupid reason for showing his vs God. Very interesting 🤔 . We’ll carry on and see where that gets you when you stand before God.
@@Proverbspsalms are you going post to post shaming people…😂 keep it up 👍 you’re doing great work for the kingdom(if you’re even a Christian I can’t tell).
When some one becomes a Christian he/she knows better. Lev. 19:28 it is in the group of abominations. So please don't try to justify yourself. Repentance is always accepted by God sincerely from the heart.
That’s not what he’s saying… tattoos and cuts are two different things you don’t cut into your body for a tattoo? And if you think it is then what really is a “cut” you see he was just going in depth of what the scripture says, and he stated by the WORD OF GOD if one where to get a tattoo make sure it benefits you and through Christ

When he mentioned the man who was smoking he justufies his destructive behaviour with the destructive behaviour of someone else. Tottoos are painful and it bleeds, how can a Christian have such a self destructive behaviour, if i love myself i do not accept anything that would hurt me. He leads people astray.
Only thing I gotta say is we sin but we are not sinners that's the only lil thing I heard that I was like eehhh but it's ok because I know your heart is genuine and that is a common misconception. Just as we were made sinners by Adam's sin right? We were irrevocably sinners no matter how much good works we did right? Now by the same token through faith in the finished works of Jesus Christ we are fully justified and made righteous through Him. Amen love you my brothers and sisters keep sharing the truth Roman's 4:25 He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.

The people in the comments…just shameful and it’s exactly what we see in churches everywhere. People who go to church and when they leave they’re a whole different person. Very sad…I pray the Holy Spirit can touch your hearts. Judging other Christians or ANYONE doesn’t get you into heaven. If you’re angry about this post; This is about you.
I was not going to respond to your comments but I think you need to understand that the Scripture is very clear on this topic, my friend. First the verse that I referred to states, "Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment." This "pastor" will be judged more strictly because he has chosen to become a teacher. Why? He needs to know what the Scripture states and teach it as it states in the full context of other Scriptures. If a Scripture states that something is black or white then that is what it means. Leviticus 19:28 is clear, "You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD." Who made this statement? You? Keith Culver? Me? NO, "I am the LORD"! That's what it states. What happened between the Old Testament and the new? Jesus became the sacrificial lamb so we no longer have to make sacrifices of animal including a lamb to shed blood for our sins. Christ did that for us (John 1:29). Leviticus 19:28 has nothing to do with us making atonement for our sins just like the Ten Commandments has nothing to do with making atonement of our sins. What both Leviticus 19:28 and the Ten Commandments, for example have in common is that they point us to what is sinful in the eyes of the Lord God our Creator. Therefore we as Christians should not make have a tattoo added to our bodies. If we are made in the image of God then why would we want to mar our bodies with something NOT made in the image of God intentionally? (Genesis 1:27) Now, what about a person that already has tattoo's on them before coming into a personal born-again relationship with the Lord? They are not responsible for what they have done to themselves in the past just as a person that has prostituted themselves to another God or to people sexually. (1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.") Also, if a new Christian doesn't know what Leviticus 19:28 states and has a tattoo added to their body they to are also not responsible for what they don't know. We are responsible for what we DO KNOW and it is as clear as "the nose on your face" that Leviticus 19:28 states "You shall not ... make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD." You therefore ARE responsible for what you know and if you disobey that Scripture you will be responsible for that before the Lord.
@@sallydennison1266 leviticus is levitical law, if we was under levitical law we wouldn’t eat pork and males would grow there hair out in a seperation period. 😐 also if we are made in the image of God then dying hair,makeup,piercings all are changing the image
@@asaltyraiderfanboyderek4mv793 I see you are not well versed on what Christ's sacrifice on the cross removed from the Levitical Law as well as how the New Testament and Old Testament is tied together to become the Bible that we are to obey. Remember what John Chapter One states about Christ - The Word became flesh ... Also what Christ stated in response to Satan in the Matthew 4 - Christ's first response. When Christ made that statement what does Christ mean by "every word that proceeds from the mouth of God"? Is He not speaking at that time of Old Testament? Since my "Born Again" (John 3) experience at the age of 18 until today my study of the Words of God did not include reading what other men say about what the Word of God states. I have invested almost 50 years in reading Gods Word - not men's - and then have done what the Bereans did to the Apostle Paul to compare what men like Keith Culver state about the Word of God lining it up / comparing it to what Scripture has to say about the subject. Mr. Culver is making up a false doctrine and will be held accountable as a teacher - just as the Pharisee's and Sadducee's - for what he teaches and thus leading believers astray. For you, my friend, please do not depend on what others say about the Scripture! If you have the Holy Spirit - the Third part of the Trinity - in you then He will teach you all things over time as He has so graciously done for me and millions of others. --- Blessings!

It is so sad to see believers glorifying what God said to the israelites that they must not do. what i dont understand is if God condemned in the old testament why would it be acceptable under Jesus. The trith is that yee glorifies the flesh more than the Spirit and this is clear by what you manifest in the flesh, i say to you "yee are flesh and do not decern the things of the spirit", you justify your actions rather than seeking out the will of God. Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain. Cain was marked by God for his sin. We can clearly see the manifestation of what is really going inside believers by the marking the put on themselves
Totally agree, my heart is grieving for what I see happening in the body of Christ. Anything goes, it is difficult to separate the world from the Church.
When you decide to become a Christian, you should know better, being in adulterous, stealing, murder and carving your body. Lev. 19:28. It falls on the category of an abomination.

That is between you and God. Seek him and all else will be discerned. We cannot tell you what is right or wrong. Through prayer and supplication let your heart be known to him and he will send the holy spirit to convict you of his will for you.
Tattoos were because you were a slave to something or someone and God did not want to slaves to anyone but him ‼️ that does not give us a right to have tattoos
This is not the mentality of the Kingdom of God to spend time with a tatoo artist. Where is he to give testimony of repentance leading him to be set free from the demonic bondages. Have you ever thought how many people are prepared to be marked in this generation as tatooing mentality is spreading very fast. During World War two, many jews and people were marked by a number tatooed on their arm in the concentration camps. We are afraid that you have missed something very important. It is not too late to repent.
!! Jesus hates tattoos - they cost money and are without purpose - Ecclesiastes ch.1, v.2 "Vanity of vanity, all is vanity", saith the Preacher. QED. Better to give the money in alms to the poor who are suffering.
It is the skirting with the demonic that should bring caution. Many of those who administer tattoos, use needles prayed to entities, and are involved in New Age practices. Many visitors to these parlours are of the same.
I didn't know we were speaking for Jesus now, I don't remember him saying I hate all tattoos in form or kind, maybe it's just me, I must have amnesia or something

A lot of Christian forget that we will be resurrected one day with a type of body similar to that which we are housed in now and that it will be clothed with God's glory. Jesus himself, when he was resurrected, still had the nailed scarred hands however clothed in glory. His side was still pierced but clothed in glory. Our earthly body is not just done away with (this is a misconception). God has called us to holiness. He has called us to honour our bodies, and bring it up to him as a living sacrifice and not to doodle on it with cartoons or demonic art. Imagine having a tattoo of a devil on your back and being in the presence of God at the resurrection. 1 Corinthians 15:35-44 NIV But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?” How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body. Not all flesh is the same: People have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another. There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another. The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor. So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 1 Corinthians 15:52 NIV For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” 2 Corinthians 5:2-3 NIV Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. Genesis 3:7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
You need to look into what happens in the spiritual realm when a permanent marking has been made on your body. Reference some videos from the Worldly Side and their opinion of what happens in the spirit through tatttoos.
We are to not act like the world. Some things you cannot prove because people just need the MIND of Christ to understand. Babes in Christ are too immature to understand.
The Holy Ghost is my Guide if the Holy Ghost tells me no it's no .as far as the scripture in Leviticus I take it at face value if you see someone having to wrest or twist the word to do what they want .don't lawyer the word of God .the word of God is there for our good it's there for our instruction .if we do the things of the world then how are we to be different.God says come out from the world .If I look like the World I don't look like Jesus .

Moral law??? U said it wrong buddy. Its GOD'S LAW!! GOD GIVES US KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM. Exactly what the pagans did. Mark their bodies for their god. The question is who do you think you are fooling when you put a tattoo for God? Tattoo is of the world not of God. Doesn matter if its a cross or words of the beattitudes. Lets all mark the word of God in our HEARTS and not the TEMPLE OF CHRIST. You are worshipping what the devil wants. So your preaching is false. I aks everyone to keep meditating on the word of God and he will gve you wisdom and knowledge to understand his words. Nowadays preachers are twisting Gods word and law. Very sad but we live in the time of revelation. Open your eyes and dont follow the world

Just as I jog or cut out fast food to keep my body healthy, I need to think twice about getting permanent tattoos on the body. If our bodies are temples of God, I need to do everything to try and keep it healthy, in every way. Putting ink in my body might indeed kill me.
I WAS A TATTOO ARTIST AND I GAVE MY LIFE TO THE LORD AND GOD TOLD ME HIMSELF IT WAS NOT HIS WILL AND WAS A SIN. I WAS MAKING ALOT OF MONEY 💰 BUT GOD SPOKE TO ME AND TOLD ME IT WAS A SIN...I QUIT AND NEVER LOOKED BACK... HE IS DECIEVED AND HE IS DECIEVING MANY.....
@PastorErickDMarquez use to be in my country Ukraine 🇺🇦, do you know who's having tattoos ? the people who were in jail, and this is very serious stuff.....
Should you spray paint your favorite verse on the outside of the church? Obviously not, you don't own it. 1 Cor 6:20 "... for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body." Try spray painting verses on the Pastors car, see how pleased they are. "For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.” 1st Corinthians 3:16-17. God is the potter, WE are the clay. He chooses our form and colors, as He chooses. We are all masterpieces of His creation, but what happens to the value of a masterpiece when someone puts graffiti on it??? It is not a salvation issue, but it IS a respect issue for both the temple and the creator of it. I appreciate him at least bringing the subject up. The graffiti you put on the Pastors car would also start conversations, does that mean you should do it? Just say no.
so are we supposed to obey all of the Levitical laws? because obviously a lot of them don't make much sense in contemporary society so how do we know which ones we should and should not listen to? if you believe tattoos are a sin why do you still cut your hair or trim your beard or eat meat?
Alcohol drugs are way different than a tattoo, I do street evangelist and I have tattoos and where gauges does that make me a sinner. No that's not what God see's he see's your heart and your soul how can you win over a person christ to show them what the love of God is not saying your a sinner no but tell them that Jesus loves and and he wants to save you to walk with him. I glorify him, I praise him and he change my life can and change my mindset I don't drink I don't smoke, I don't party, I don't sleep around I don't do none of that and I'm not interested. But if I get a new tattoo does that make me a sinner a follower of the devil no it doesn't. I was tormented by a demon for years, until the grace of God Came Upon My Life and took everything and made me new being. I love him I'll always praising never going back, but to show people what God see's and his powerful grace that brought to my life, And im never going back. I'm staying with God. Because I heard his voice and he knows my name. I had a dream that I got a lot of tattoos and been prophesied by a prophet that I was going to reach out to people who have tattoos and gauges. I don't know why. But if God show that dream of me getting tattoos does not make me a sinner.
But why do you need to have a tattoo?The world is supposed to see you as a set apart masterpiece of God. We should look and act like children of God. Pagans also tattoo crosses on them. Sometimes things don't have to be debated in such depth.
“But why do you need” Answer: it is NOT your business! “Masterpiece” - have you ever yelled at your kids? Have them seen such masterpiece. 25yrs in churches and these type of people do not stop to make my stomach sick - I have zero tattoos, but I’m more concerned how treat my kids, people in traffic, those that are hurting and don’t have what to eat… tattoos? Masterpiece? Go back to you kitchen sink - flies are proliferating.

There’s only 1 verse in the bible that directly says don’t tattoo your self but your clearly are ignoring the context of that. The shirt your wearing right now, how many fabrics is it made out of? You can’t pick and choose what you want to be sin, and you can’t judge people for that, God didn’t send us to judge. Jesus tells us to love
You are not telling the truth ok go and reread your Bible very well, did Jesus put tattoo in his body? we are like christ and we should behave like him ok
“When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, be very careful not to imitate the detestable customs of the nations living there. Deuteronomy 18:9 NLT “Do not cut your bodies for the dead, and do not mark your skin with tattoos. I am the Lord. Leviticus 19:28 NLT There were different laws given and one was do not do as the nations do. People argue that the law is done away with. Only certain parts are done away with example the sacrificial laws. If tattoos are done away with meaning we can now tattoo then witchcraft is done away with also. Meaning if I can tattoo then I can also do witchcraft and also do all the sexual perversions the law also warns us about. Prostitution, lesbianism, homosexuality, pedophilia, beastiality, laying with family members etc. are all allowed. God said these are what the nations do and He does not want us doing it. He said it's an abomination, it defiles the land. The prophets and apostles had no tattoos, Jesus had no tattoos. Paul speaks against sexual perversion and witchcraft and this came from the law. Its what the nations were still doing. We are not to be like the nations around us, our body is His temple. As for God engraving on His hands, we must realize God is not flesh but Spirit. He was telling us in the flesh not to do it, it was for the dead and the spirit of the world
Put aside your personal stereotypes and listen don’t let you hardened heart shield the message being spoken. If u don’t agree, research for thy self study and don’t judge.
@@thecloseddiamond1426 Romans 12:2 2And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. I’m not judging him or them. I am just simply comparing them with Word Of God. 2pet 17-20 17These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 18For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 19While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 20For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
I think many will have missed the part of the sermon where he says go to God in prayer for discernment on this matter first. In my experience the holy spirit will convict me of God's will for me. The Bible states this also.
Yup 👍🏼 "did God really say or mean?" Who asked that?? Yes, only God discerns the heart and he told us very clearly that the heart is desperately wicked!
I have seen women with quite a tattoos. For me I would be distracted by all of the tattoos of o was with one that had a lot of tattoos. Tattoos are not classy
here is a simple answer the Bible gives us...Jeremiah 10:1-2 1 Hear ye the word of the Lord that he speaketh unto you, O house of Israel. Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen....and also in Deuteronomy 12. Tattoos, Leviticus 19:28 "Ye shall not cut your flesh for the dead, nor make any print of a mark upon you: I am the Lord." God is a jealous God, he wants us to live holy lives and not learn from satan's world and its practices but from God and his kingdom, remember we are sojourners on this earth. Why is there a need for the church to become more like satan's world instead of becoming more like Christ? Are you looking for acceptance from your friends or do you want them to think that you are normal? People want you to become like they are, if you have non-christian friends they want you to drink, party, sin, be lustful and do all the evil practices they do, they do not understand holiness and they actually hate it. Preach the truth to them and have them see that happiness will not be found in imitating others but instead to be right with God.
I got to love how folks believe that there lack of tattoos somehow make them holy no different than the scribes sad smooth tattoo less skin doesn't get you into heaven neither does having one keep you out
I was not going to respond to your comments but I think you need to understand that the Scripture is very clear on this topic, my friend. First the verse that I referred to states, "Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment." This "pastor" will be judged more strictly because he has chosen to become a teacher. Why? He needs to know what the Scripture states and teach it as it states in the full context of other Scriptures. If a Scripture states that something is black or white then that is what it means. Leviticus 19:28 is clear, "You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD." Who made this statement? You? Keith Culver? Me? NO, "I am the LORD"! That's what it states. What happened between the Old Testament and the new? Jesus became the sacrificial lamb so we no longer have to make sacrifices of animal including a lamb to shed blood for our sins. Christ did that for us (John 1:29). Leviticus 19:28 has nothing to do with us making atonement for our sins just like the Ten Commandments has nothing to do with making atonement of our sins. What both Leviticus 19:28 and the Ten Commandments, for example have in common is that they point us to what is sinful in the eyes of the Lord God our Creator. Therefore we as Christians should not make have a tattoo added to our bodies. If we are made in the image of God then why would we want to mar our bodies with something NOT made in the image of God intentionally? (Genesis 1:27) Now, what about a person that already has tattoo's on them before coming into a personal born-again relationship with the Lord? They are not responsible for what they have done to themselves in the past just as a person that has prostituted themselves to another God or to people sexually. (1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.") Also, if a new Christian doesn't know what Leviticus 19:28 states and has a tattoo added to their body they to are also not responsible for what they don't know. We are responsible for what we DO KNOW and it is as clear as "the nose on your face" that Leviticus 19:28 states "You shall not ... make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD." You therefore ARE responsible for what you know and if you disobey that Scripture you will be responsible for that before the Lord.
@@sallydennison1266 I would love to reply to your essay but I realize agree to disagree is a better option just for the record I'm fully aware of what the scripture says I simply disagree with interpretation of the context of what was said, also if you chose to live by those laws that fine but then you have to apply all of them you can't pick out the ones you like and avoid others but I see religion has is your focus more so than relationship not just with God but with your fellow christian brothers and sisters sadly that isn't that different from the scribes hence they saw Jesus as a horrible violation of religion, but I wish you all the best.....
@@joelsambrano6356 The Scribes added to the Law THEIR traditions NOT following the Law as written in the bible that they had at that time - the Old Testament. For example look at Matthew 15, "Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said, 2 “Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.” 3 And He answered and said to them, “Why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? 4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’ and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother is to be put to death.’ 5 But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever I have that would help you has been given to God,” 6 he is not to honor his father or his mother.’ And by this you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you: 8 ‘This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far away from Me. 9 ‘But in vain do they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.’” So, the Scribes added to their law that when you eat you MUST wash your hands. They also greedily told the believers / the Jews that it was better to give to "God" rather than honoring their parents by taking care of them when necessary. My, Brother Joel Sambrino, you need to take the reading and study of Scripture as serious as Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour did when He was tempted in the desert before he began his formal ministry. Matthew 4 states, "Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And after He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He then became hungry. 3 And the tempter came and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on EVERY word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.’” I encourage you to get serious my friend by reading the Scripture and try to live it out. Yes, you and I fall short and it is by the grace of the Lord we are saved (Ephesians 2:1-10). BUT that gives you nor me the right to not follow everything in Scripture as the Holy Spirit provides us strength.

God is love! May I remind you that the Bible also states that love thy neighbor as you love thyself sounds like you are not being a loving neighbor by judging them because of their tattoo's or lack thereof tattoo's. tattoos are not a sin when the reason of the individual gets one to glorify God and your love for him. Just like the pastor said.
It's about idolatry and people who get tattoos have idolatry in their hearts. What other reason is there? Giving our lives to Christ means following His commandments, following His voice. Was it Christ who told you to mark your body that now is suppose to belong to Christ? The spiritual connection to everything we do is what prideful and self righteous apostate church ignores.
Man, these last couple of Months, I've been struggling with this topic, reading alot of mixed feelings about tattoos, but this video will be my final piece on it! Thanks for this!

@@oldmanxanliquidrageyotka9857 Rather than make an accusation why don't you quote the Scripture so that it can be explained or are you afraid you might be found wrong?
Well you just taught opinion over Bible. Bible is clear about making no cuttings on your body, Bible is also clear about we are beautifully and wonderfully made and the temple of the Holy Ghost. Tattoos are nothing more than permanent graffiti on our temples. Nice twisting of scripture but you are sincerely wrong..
The nation of Israel was to be an example of how God's people should live and be. They were to be a light to all surrounding nations Deuteronomy 4 :5-8. If God says not to get one (a tattoo) than that's a done deal. God had a bigger picture in mind. And trully if we would be honest with ourselves can you really picture Jesus getting a tattoo???
The New Testament defines sin as anything done outside of the realm of faith, (Romans 14:23), and that whatever we do should be done to the glory of God, (1 Corinthians 10:31). God also says that he gives us his laws and statutes for OUR good,, (Deuteronomy 6:24). So if you can honestly say that the health risks you are taking, do not warrant God's warning of caution, and that Jesus will truly be glorified before the Father and the angels of heaven by your added graffiti on the body He made for you, in His own perfect image, then I suppose you need to go right ahead and get it, (Proverbs 14:12).
Why does a person make a DELIBERATE CHOICE to alter in a permanent way the temple of God? Tattoos are popular in today’s culture as it was in the cultures that surrounded Israel. They were applied for various reasons to demonstrate ownership of slaves, worship pagan gods, etc…. Will God respect the condition of His property when you seek to surrender the earthly body for your spiritual everlasting body. What justification can be offered for labeling God’s property as “JOHNNY’S” because he was the love of your life?

God tells us to be holy for he is holy.You are created in the image of God .Your body is the temple of the Lord keep it Holy.Don’t get tattoos it is desecrating the temple of God.God will still save people with tattoos if it is his will to save that person just the same as he will save those people who don’t have tattoos.For no one can come to Jesus unless the father draws him.For when you become saved you are born again and want to be a holy temple for God.For you are created in his image.
If you people keep going Then even being alive is going to be a sin. Just believe what the lord brings you to believe. Not what someone else tells you. Remember this warning folks Do not be deceived
Thank God for Jesus who gave His life to redeem ours. I bless him that if you chose to get a tattoo and now feel as though it's wrong just remember that you can be... and are forgiven...just ask
If tattoos are a stumbling block to you, and it feels like a sin, then to you, it is a sin, and you should stay away from it, but do not judge others about it. There are many subjects that are not directly addressed in the Bible. You should study it, pray about it, and let God speak to you about it. Personally I don't like tattos. I don't like they way they look, and I think they can draw attention to yourself, and away from what really matters. I don't like those weird ponytail things that some men wear on top of their heads. It's an attention/look at me everybody, thing. That's not what walking with Christ is supposed to be about. Death to self, and live for Jesus.

What is the big deal with tattoos in christian. Is like part of you want to be or experiment the desires of the world. I have tattoos that I did before coming to Christ and when I became a born again Christian does desire for tattoos went away, 16 yrs and till this day I dont care. 1 John 2:15-17 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

some people who have a Tattoo do it by coping what others are doing due to ignorance. Others have it due to the unresolved emotional pain they have passed. others have opened demonic spiritual doors by having tattoos. We all need Jesus to heal us and surrender our pain to him rather than expressing in our body. Jesus came to heal the broken hearted. Many leaders of the church have a tattoo and many want to copy what they have; we should follow the word of God and the word of God should dwell in us richly. pastors, believers we are all working towards heaven. lest you be deceived. St. Paul says even as I preach the gospel I look back at my self so that I may not miss the mark. when one buys a Rolls Royce Cullinan and a cheap small second hand vehicle which one will he be careful not to be scratched & scribbled? yo be the judge.

If Jesus Would want to get one , Them I’m all for it , But By Jesús who obeyed the Law and by doing pleasantly Obeying the law did not get one nor he would get one today . Then Why Would I deliberately do the opposite the Jesus would do. I’m supposed to do and walk and imitate Jesus In all we do by word and acts. Measuring Devices are tools use to seek standards of application. The Law of Moses Shows how we can measure right from wrong . The Jews Heritage has brought moral framework to the Christianity and Jesus Lived By them and Follow them and By doing so, He was approved by The Father. Although No Jesus follower will be justified by the Law That doesn’t disapprove that The Law was a Good measuring tape. The day that Jesus Followers Walk away from The Moral Framework of Jesus’s compass his followers will become Lawless Followers with out directions. With out a tape to know right from Wrong.

I don't know if tattoos are a sin. Scripture does not specifically mention tattoos or marking your body except for the dead as in mourning like the pagans do. But God throughout the Old Testament does mention that He doesn't want His children worshipping the gods of the pagans or following/accepting pagan customs. Tattoos are pagan customs. I hate to burst your bubble but...
Leviticus 18:3 (NKJV)
3 According to the doings of the land of Egypt, where you dwelt, you shall not do; and according to the doings of the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you, you shall not do; nor shall you walk in their ordinances.
That pretty much spells out do not get tattoos. If you already have, then maybe try to remove them if you can afford it. If you are clinging to them after being saved, why are you clinging on to them? I had thought about getting a tattoo when I was in the Marines, but I didn't. I'm very glad I didn't.
May the Lord Jesus keep protecting you and your family

That was His message to You!! Maybe because He didn't want you tattooing certain things on people like you used to, and for the wrong reasons they wanted...
But that doesn't mean that tattoos are bad for people to get, nor does it mean that someone else is deceived. Maybe you are

I wonder if his views on tattoos have changed as he has matured in the faith. Firstly, he is correct in recognizing that people who quote Lev 19:28 as a reason for having tattoos is a sin are not properly interpreting the passage in its proper context. Secondly, it is very hypocritical and inconsistent to tell someone that having a tattoo is a sin, all the while wearing a dri-fit shirt or clothing made of two kinds of materials (Lev 19:19). With that being said, I believe for the children of God living under the new covenant that Jesus has ushered in through his blood (Jer 31:31-34; 1 Cor 11:17-34), the Old Testament (OT) restrictions do not apply. Jesus has fulfilled all the OT rules and requirements on behalf of humanity and has brought us out from under the law to the freedom of grace (Gal 3:23-28). Yet in this new covenant of grace, we are held to higher standard where we must live in love - of which we are commanded to lay down our lives for one another (John 15:13). Practically, that means we ought to honor one another above ourselves, not equally to ourselves (Rom 12:10), and we ought to consider the interest of others above our own (Phil 2:1-5). The preacher was right in instructing youth to talk with their parents before making the decision to get tattoos because it put the interest of parents above their own, and it honors the parents. However, the principle of honor and the interests of others is not regulated to children, youth, minors, or young people but to all people. In fact, especially as a leader within the church, greater care must be given to avoid stumbling the faith of others (Rom 14; 1 Cor 8)!
Paul says about caring for the conscience of others: "Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak. 10 For if someone with a weak conscience sees you, with all your knowledge, eating in an idol’s temple, won’t that person be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols? 11 So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge. 12 When you sin against them in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. 13 Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause them to fall" (1 Cor 8:9-13). The principle here is that yes, you may have the freedom to certain privileges, however true love does not exercise the right to those privileges for the sake of others. That is why in the Assemblies of God, ministers make a commitment to abstain from alcohol. It is not a sin to drink alcohol (getting drunk is a sin), but ministers abstain from drinking for the conscience of others. How much more, should tattoos be abstained from if it stumbles others!
May we, the church and family of Jesus, learn to lay down our rights and freedoms for the sake of others as Jesus did for us in dying innocently and vicariously for us. Amen.
Israel, you are incorrect for you must not know that the materials today are all of a synthetic of some type.
Israel The exercise of Good judgement when become to Holiness is Become Rare in this times. And What you say is so on the point Here is something to add to the Thought. Measuring Devices are tools use to seek standards of application.
The Law of Moses Shows how we can measure right from wrong .
The Jews Heritage has brought moral framework to the Christianity and Jesus Lived By them and Follow them and By doing so, He was approved by The Father.
Although No Jesus follower will be justified by the Law That doesn’t disapprove that The Law was a Good measuring tape.
The day that Jesus Followers Walk away from The Moral Framework of Jesus’s compass his followers will become Lawless Followers with out directions. With out a tape to know right from Wrong.

So many false teachers twisting the words in the Bible to justify the practices of a corrupt world. This man is leading people down the wrong path. People are so desperate to justify their disobedience. All the while forgetting that no matter what this man says, we are all judged by the Most High in the end. I guess we've reached the part when evil is considered good and good considered evil.
What you deem evil that one does to themselves, what made it your business in the first place? We should end the problems we do to each other, not to ourselves. You're an individual, I'm an individual. Don't judge me for what I'm allowed to do that concerns no one and vice versa.
Exactly!!!!! Thank
you!!!!
We are all sinners, go to where that scripture is and read the ones before and after it, do u eat meat with blood in it? Then ur sinning to.
@@yvesheinrich5013 agreed 👍
I am not evil by any means just because I have tattoos, God doesn't care about what's on my flesh he cares about my heart, my flesh will perish but my spirit will not! This is the problem with alot of none tattooed Christians that we tattooed people are evil or unworthy.
He ☝️ said do not , I am God the same as yesterday, today and forever.
Here is the scripture where it is found in the Torah.
NKJ Leviticus 19:28 `You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the LORD (Lev. 19:28 NKJ)
1. Cuttings - In Hebrew שֶׂ֣רֶט (Lev. 19:28) pronounced Sa’ret. Meaning incision or scratch drawing of blood. Make gashes in oneself (a pagan mourning ritual) inflict a wound on oneself (KBL), injure oneself grievously, badly
2. Tattoo- In Hebrew קַֽעֲקַ֔ע (Lev. 19:28) pronounced ka’ahka. Meaning incision drawing blood, and imprintment.This word only occurs once in the whole of the Tanach (Old Testament),
3. Marks In Hebrew כּתֹ֫בֶת (Lev. 19:28) pronounced k’tovet. Meaning writing, inscription (mark or sign)
When we read the Scriptures we switch our biased thoughts off. We enter reading the scriptures in neutral mode. We do not force our biased opinions and prejudice on the Scriptures. To change an error in our thinking is the hardest thing to do. But to live our life in a lie destroys you and negatively impacts and destroys other innocent people who interact with you. So choose life in Him and follow His way, not your way. If we cannot do the smallest things for Elohim (God) and our Mashiach (Messiah) how can you do the largest things for Him! The largest things are made up of the smallest things. So if you fail at the smallest things you will never be able to do the large things for Him. If you fail the First Commandment - which you shall Love Him with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might/willpower you will never be able to keep the rest; and your understanding of His words become corrupted with arrogance and prideful understanding and not His. We must never place our will, our understanding, and our interpretation of the scriptures above YaHVaH Elohim (God) and our Mashiach( Messiah).
Shalom
Samuel
My take, and I know it's consistent with the word and way of the Lord is that our bodies is the temple of God. We must be careful NOT to desecrate the temple of God. Again, whatever we do must honor God. If someone had a tattoo in ignorance before coming to Christ, that's it. But as a Christian, you can't go get a tattoo!
Excuse me? I'm a Christian and I have a tattoo I'm not any better than you nor are you any better than me.
Amen

People the law is the law. He is varying from scripture. This isn’t levitical law this is the law of God. One law Gods law. He’s in error. No do not get tattoos.
Yes In the Old Testament, JESUS cleared all law from the OT so it doesn’t apply to us
@@joshuavenegas6291 not true. Prove it please. The judicial system of God is still in effect. The judicial punishment system has been out of Jesus at the cross. No. You’ve been taught a tradition of men.
If you get a haircut or beard trim you break Levitical law too, stop pointing the finger. You think the divide is what Jesus wants? A lot of you are saying don’t conform to this World but you have a phone and car and spread hatefulness instead of love. Tattooed or not Tattooed he still loves you and wants a relationship with you. No one is beyond the love and blood of Jesus. Thank you Lord!
Let me ask. Is a tattoo a desire of the spirit or of the flesh. Does it edify the temple of Christ (aka your body. Does this satisfy God, does it honor him, is it obedience to God, is it prioritizing The Lord? Though the old laws may no longer condemn us, they still apply. God is the same as yesterday, today, and for ever is he not? Does not the word say the our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit of God? Are we not to be a royal priesthood. Aren’t we supposed to seek The kingdom of God and his righteousness first. Are we not to follow in the steps of Christ and his Apostles being him the foundation, are we not to separate ourselves from the world and the traditions, did Jesus not rescue us to from the mud to be new creatures in him? Plainly speaking, the tattoo is not the sin, it’s the act of putting one’s desires first thus putting God second. He who wants to be my disciple Jesus said, deny yourself, pickup your cross and follow me.
It also says do not kill.
Is this pastor trying to lessen God's Word?
I understand what he is saying, I have doubt about the way he is teaching.

Revelation 19:16 New International Version
On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: king of kings and lord of lords. Not I'm not here to argue but just following your logic according to this verse Jesus has a tattoo on his thigh so your logic doesn't follow... The truth is there is more than enough context to explain the one verse that folks use to condemn tattoos so unless you have another that is in context then you are simply creating your own bondage which is the opposite of what Christ came to do....
@@ChapterMasterADO Yes he is but in his heart like Paul taught us.
Don't mistake Holiness for legalism, we don't win God's approval by good deeds, the law isn't our ticket to heaven. We become Holy by Loving others just as God has loved us despite leading the sinful lives we lead, don't forget the pit God took you from, He placed us on pedestal to teach and brings others on that pedestal with us through love not judgment. If you don't want tattoos, I really don't understand why you need to watch this video or condemn others for thinking otherwise.

Thank u!!! That I believe 100%. I have a tattoo but I wanted to hear it from my mother, my family and husband first. I discuss my reason for doing it, if they said yes, then ok. It not, then I won’t. A part of me wants to get a dove with a cross on my wrist as a motivational tattoo. My family said ok; but I’m still thinking
Same situation here 🤧been a month did you get it?
@@beeree5463 No, not yet. But after feeling conflicted about it for so long and feeling fear from people saying how sinful tattoos r, I asked god for a sign to help me. I’m not doubting anything in the Bible, nor am I saying people r wrong. But I don’t believe tattoos will send me to hell, in fact I believe that they stay with our mortal bodies and our soul arrives clean. But I told god that, even if I did get another tattoo, my love and faith in him will never ever change. I thanked him for everything he has done for me, (past and present) and I told him that I never want to loose him. I asked him for a sign that he’d always b with me, no matter wat I decided. And as soon as I said that a bluebird appeared on my bird feeder, (my first tattoo is also a bluebird). My heart grew so much bigger that day. Yea tattoos r not great; but if you love god and believe with all ur heart and soul, he’ll always be with u and love u forever. That’s wat I strongly believe.
People should speak to those involved in deliverance ministries to have greater understanding of what can (not will) arise when you have tattoos. This is not an argument about salvation but tattoos can open up one to horrific demonisation. Paul says all things are lawful but not all things edify.
So you go to your family and this person up here whose saying absolutely nothing and justifying tattoos and his stupid reason for showing his vs God. Very interesting 🤔 . We’ll carry on and see where that gets you when you stand before God.
@@Proverbspsalms are you going post to post shaming people…😂 keep it up 👍 you’re doing great work for the kingdom(if you’re even a Christian I can’t tell).
When some one becomes a Christian he/she knows better. Lev. 19:28 it is in the group of abominations. So please don't try to justify yourself. Repentance is always accepted by God sincerely from the heart.

That’s not what he’s saying… tattoos and cuts are two different things you don’t cut into your body for a tattoo?

The people in the comments…just shameful and it’s exactly what we see in churches everywhere. People who go to church and when they leave they’re a whole different person. Very sad…I pray the Holy Spirit can touch your hearts. Judging other Christians or ANYONE doesn’t get you into heaven. If you’re angry about this post; This is about you.
I was not going to respond to your comments but I think you need to understand that the Scripture is very clear on this topic, my friend. First the verse that I referred to states, "Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment." This "pastor" will be judged more strictly because he has chosen to become a teacher. Why? He needs to know what the Scripture states and teach it as it states in the full context of other Scriptures. If a Scripture states that something is black or white then that is what it means. Leviticus 19:28 is clear, "You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD." Who made this statement? You? Keith Culver? Me? NO, "I am the LORD"! That's what it states. What happened between the Old Testament and the new? Jesus became the sacrificial lamb so we no longer have to make sacrifices of animal including a lamb to shed blood for our sins. Christ did that for us (John 1:29). Leviticus 19:28 has nothing to do with us making atonement for our sins just like the Ten Commandments has nothing to do with making atonement of our sins. What both Leviticus 19:28 and the Ten Commandments, for example have in common is that they point us to what is sinful in the eyes of the Lord God our Creator. Therefore we as Christians should not make have a tattoo added to our bodies. If we are made in the image of God then why would we want to mar our bodies with something NOT made in the image of God intentionally? (Genesis 1:27)
Now, what about a person that already has tattoo's on them before coming into a personal born-again relationship with the Lord? They are not responsible for what they have done to themselves in the past just as a person that has prostituted themselves to another God or to people sexually. (1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.") Also, if a new Christian doesn't know what Leviticus 19:28 states and has a tattoo added to their body they to are also not responsible for what they don't know. We are responsible for what we DO KNOW and it is as clear as "the nose on your face" that Leviticus 19:28 states "You shall not ... make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD." You therefore ARE responsible for what you know and if you disobey that Scripture you will be responsible for that before the Lord.
You sound as stupid as him.
@@sallydennison1266 leviticus is levitical law, if we was under levitical law we wouldn’t eat pork and males would grow there hair out in a seperation period. 😐 also if we are made in the image of God then dying hair,makeup,piercings all are changing the image
@@asaltyraiderfanboyderek4mv793 I see you are not well versed on what Christ's sacrifice on the cross removed from the Levitical Law as well as how the New Testament and Old Testament is tied together to become the Bible that we are to obey. Remember what John Chapter One states about Christ - The Word became flesh ... Also what Christ stated in response to Satan in the Matthew 4 - Christ's first response. When Christ made that statement what does Christ mean by "every word that proceeds from the mouth of God"? Is He not speaking at that time of Old Testament? Since my "Born Again" (John 3) experience at the age of 18 until today my study of the Words of God did not include reading what other men say about what the Word of God states. I have invested almost 50 years in reading Gods Word - not men's - and then have done what the Bereans did to the Apostle Paul to compare what men like Keith Culver state about the Word of God lining it up / comparing it to what Scripture has to say about the subject. Mr. Culver is making up a false doctrine and will be held accountable as a teacher - just as the Pharisee's and Sadducee's - for what he teaches and thus leading believers astray. For you, my friend, please do not depend on what others say about the Scripture! If you have the Holy Spirit - the Third part of the Trinity - in you then He will teach you all things over time as He has so graciously done for me and millions of others. --- Blessings!

This sermon is a good example of man's interpretation of God's Word.
It is so sad to see believers glorifying what God said to the israelites that they must not do. what i dont understand is if God condemned in the old testament why would it be acceptable under Jesus. The trith is that yee glorifies the flesh more than the Spirit and this is clear by what you manifest in the flesh, i say to you "yee are flesh and do not decern the things of the spirit", you justify your actions rather than seeking out the will of God.
Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain. Cain was marked by God for his sin. We can clearly see the manifestation of what is really going inside believers by the marking the put on themselves
Totally agree, my heart is grieving for what I see happening in the body of Christ. Anything goes, it is difficult to separate the world from the Church.
we dont form an "opinion" with the absolute word of God!!!
The worst advise on the topic,,,this guy is only justifying himself
When you decide to become a Christian, you should know better, being in adulterous, stealing, murder and carving your body. Lev. 19:28. It falls on the category of an abomination.

Tattoos good or bad. All of us who judge one another we must learn to love. We were not made to judge and hate.
Tattoos were because you were a slave to something or someone and God did not want to slaves to anyone but him ‼️ that does not give us a right to have tattoos
This is not the mentality of the Kingdom of God to spend time with a tatoo artist. Where is he to give testimony of repentance leading him to be set free from the demonic bondages. Have you ever thought how many people are prepared to be marked in this generation as tatooing mentality is spreading very fast. During World War two, many jews and people were marked by a number tatooed on their arm in the concentration camps. We are afraid that you have missed something very important. It is not too late to repent.
!! Jesus hates tattoos - they cost money and are without purpose - Ecclesiastes ch.1, v.2 "Vanity of vanity, all is vanity", saith the Preacher. QED. Better to give the money in alms to the poor who are suffering.
It is the skirting with the demonic that should bring caution. Many of those who administer tattoos, use needles prayed to entities, and are involved in New Age practices. Many visitors to these parlours are of the same.
I didn't know we were speaking for Jesus now, I don't remember him saying I hate all tattoos in form or kind, maybe it's just me, I must have amnesia or something

I cracked up at: 18:05
Definitely enforce NOT getting a demonic image tattoo. I see too many of those on young people.
A lot of Christian forget that we will be resurrected one day with a type of body similar to that which we are housed in now and that it will be clothed with God's glory. Jesus himself, when he was resurrected, still had the nailed scarred hands however clothed in glory. His side was still pierced but clothed in glory. Our earthly body is not just done away with (this is a misconception).
God has called us to holiness. He has called us to honour our bodies, and bring it up to him as a living sacrifice and not to doodle on it with cartoons or demonic art.
Imagine having a tattoo of a devil on your back and being in the presence of God at the resurrection.
1 Corinthians 15:35-44 NIV
But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?” How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body. Not all flesh is the same: People have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another. There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another. The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor. So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
1 Corinthians 15:52 NIV
For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”
2 Corinthians 5:2-3 NIV
Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked.
Genesis 3:7
Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
You need to look into what happens in the spiritual realm when a permanent marking has been made on your body. Reference some videos from the Worldly Side and their opinion of what happens in the spirit through tatttoos.
We are to not act like the world. Some things you cannot prove because people just need the MIND of Christ to understand.
Babes in Christ are too immature to understand.
The Holy Ghost is my Guide if the Holy Ghost tells me no it's no .as far as the scripture in Leviticus I take it at face value if you see someone having to wrest or twist the word to do what they want .don't lawyer the word of God .the word of God is there for our good it's there for our instruction .if we do the things of the world then how are we to be different.God says come out from the world .If I look like the World I don't look like Jesus .

Moral law??? U said it wrong buddy. Its GOD'S LAW!! GOD GIVES US KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM. Exactly what the pagans did. Mark their bodies for their god. The question is who do you think you are fooling when you put a tattoo for God? Tattoo is of the world not of God. Doesn matter if its a cross or words of the beattitudes. Lets all mark the word of God in our HEARTS and not the TEMPLE OF CHRIST. You are worshipping what the devil wants. So your preaching is false. I aks everyone to keep meditating on the word of God and he will gve you wisdom and knowledge to understand his words. Nowadays preachers are twisting Gods word and law. Very sad but we live in the time of revelation. Open your eyes and dont follow the world
Do you get haircuts?
You people in the comments are borderline insane lmao
Gee. I wonder how the Preacher with tattoos will answer this question?
I never hear about the danger of ink being injected under the skin. I read where autopsies were performed, and ink was found in numerous vital organs. Just as I jog or cut out fast food to keep my body healthy, I need to think twice about getting permanent tattoos on the body. If our bodies are temples of God, I need to do everything to try and keep it healthy, in every way. Putting ink in my body might indeed kill me.

@PastorErickDMarquez use to be in my country Ukraine 🇺🇦, do you know who's having tattoos ? the people who were in jail, and this is very serious stuff.....
Should you spray paint your favorite verse on the outside of the church? Obviously not, you don't own it. 1 Cor 6:20 "... for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body." Try spray painting verses on the Pastors car, see how pleased they are. "For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.” 1st Corinthians 3:16-17. God is the potter, WE are the clay. He chooses our form and colors, as He chooses. We are all masterpieces of His creation, but what happens to the value of a masterpiece when someone puts graffiti on it??? It is not a salvation issue, but it IS a respect issue for both the temple and the creator of it. I appreciate him at least bringing the subject up. The graffiti you put on the Pastors car would also start conversations, does that mean you should do it? Just say no.
so are we supposed to obey all of the Levitical laws? because obviously a lot of them don't make much sense in contemporary society so how do we know which ones we should and should not listen to? if you believe tattoos are a sin why do you still cut your hair or trim your beard or eat meat?
Ask God to let the Holy Spirit guide you
Alcohol drugs are way different than a tattoo, I do street evangelist and I have tattoos and where gauges does that make me a sinner. No that's not what God see's he see's your heart and your soul how can you win over a person christ to show them what the love of God is not saying your a sinner no but tell them that Jesus loves and and he wants to save you to walk with him. I glorify him, I praise him and he change my life can and change my mindset I don't drink I don't smoke, I don't party, I don't sleep around I don't do none of that and I'm not interested. But if I get a new tattoo does that make me a sinner a follower of the devil no it doesn't. I was tormented by a demon for years, until the grace of God Came Upon My Life and took everything and made me new being. I love him I'll always praising never going back, but to show people what God see's and his powerful grace that brought to my life, And im never going back. I'm staying with God. Because I heard his voice and he knows my name. I had a dream that I got a lot of tattoos and been prophesied by a prophet that I was going to reach out to people who have tattoos and gauges. I don't know why. But if God show that dream of me getting tattoos does not make me a sinner.
But why do you need to have a tattoo?The world is supposed to see you as a set apart masterpiece of God. We should look and act like children of God. Pagans also tattoo crosses on them. Sometimes things don't have to be debated in such depth.
“But why do you need” Answer: it is NOT your business!
“Masterpiece” - have you ever yelled at your kids? Have them seen such masterpiece. 25yrs in churches and these type of people do not stop to make my stomach sick - I have zero tattoos, but I’m more concerned how treat my kids, people in traffic, those that are hurting and don’t have what to eat… tattoos? Masterpiece? Go back to you kitchen sink - flies are proliferating.
The scripture is plain and so simple to understand it’s say it’s a sin having tattoos it’s a sin period
Simple to the blinded eye of a “Simple Christian” as we are going in depth of this topic

There’s only 1 verse in the bible that directly says don’t tattoo your self but your clearly are ignoring the context of that. The shirt your wearing right now, how many fabrics is it made out of? You can’t pick and choose what you want to be sin, and you can’t judge people for that, God didn’t send us to judge. Jesus tells us to love
Everybody that has tattoos makes it right but the one’s that don’t have tattoos makes it wrong
You are not telling the truth ok go and reread your Bible very well, did Jesus put tattoo in his body? we are like christ and we should behave like him ok
“When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, be very careful not to imitate the detestable customs of the nations living there.
Deuteronomy 18:9 NLT
“Do not cut your bodies for the dead, and do not mark your skin with tattoos. I am the Lord.
Leviticus 19:28 NLT
There were different laws given and one was do not do as the nations do. People argue that the law is done away with. Only certain parts are done away with example the sacrificial laws. If tattoos are done away with meaning we can now tattoo then witchcraft is done away with also. Meaning if I can tattoo then I can also do witchcraft and also do all the sexual perversions the law also warns us about. Prostitution, lesbianism, homosexuality, pedophilia, beastiality, laying with family members etc. are all allowed. God said these are what the nations do and He does not want us doing it. He said it's an abomination, it defiles the land.
The prophets and apostles had no tattoos, Jesus had no tattoos. Paul speaks against sexual perversion and witchcraft and this came from the law. Its what the nations were still doing. We are not to be like the nations around us, our body is His temple.
As for God engraving on His hands, we must realize God is not flesh but Spirit. He was telling us in the flesh not to do it, it was for the dead and the spirit of the world

2pet 17-20 17These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 18For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 19While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 20For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
Exactly
He’s talking foolish
I think many will have missed the part of the sermon where he says go to God in prayer for discernment on this matter first. In my experience the holy spirit will convict me of God's will for me. The Bible states this also.
Yup 👍🏼 "did God really say or mean?" Who asked that?? Yes, only God discerns the heart and he told us very clearly that the heart is desperately wicked!
I have seen women with quite a tattoos. For me I would be distracted by all of the tattoos of o was with one that had a lot of tattoos. Tattoos are not classy
here is a simple answer the Bible gives us...Jeremiah 10:1-2 1 Hear ye the word of the Lord that he speaketh unto you, O house of Israel. Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen....and also in Deuteronomy 12. Tattoos, Leviticus 19:28 "Ye shall not cut your flesh for the dead, nor make any print of a mark upon you: I am the Lord." God is a jealous God, he wants us to live holy lives and not learn from satan's world and its practices but from God and his kingdom, remember we are sojourners on this earth. Why is there a need for the church to become more like satan's world instead of becoming more like Christ? Are you looking for acceptance from your friends or do you want them to think that you are normal? People want you to become like they are, if you have non-christian friends they want you to drink, party, sin, be lustful and do all the evil practices they do, they do not understand holiness and they actually hate it. Preach the truth to them and have them see that happiness will not be found in imitating others but instead to be right with God.
I got to love how folks believe that there lack of tattoos somehow make them holy no different than the scribes sad smooth tattoo less skin doesn't get you into heaven neither does having one keep you out
I was not going to respond to your comments but I think you need to understand that the Scripture is very clear on this topic, my friend. First the verse that I referred to states, "Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment." This "pastor" will be judged more strictly because he has chosen to become a teacher. Why? He needs to know what the Scripture states and teach it as it states in the full context of other Scriptures. If a Scripture states that something is black or white then that is what it means. Leviticus 19:28 is clear, "You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD." Who made this statement? You? Keith Culver? Me? NO, "I am the LORD"! That's what it states. What happened between the Old Testament and the new? Jesus became the sacrificial lamb so we no longer have to make sacrifices of animal including a lamb to shed blood for our sins. Christ did that for us (John 1:29). Leviticus 19:28 has nothing to do with us making atonement for our sins just like the Ten Commandments has nothing to do with making atonement of our sins. What both Leviticus 19:28 and the Ten Commandments, for example have in common is that they point us to what is sinful in the eyes of the Lord God our Creator. Therefore we as Christians should not make have a tattoo added to our bodies. If we are made in the image of God then why would we want to mar our bodies with something NOT made in the image of God intentionally? (Genesis 1:27)
Now, what about a person that already has tattoo's on them before coming into a personal born-again relationship with the Lord? They are not responsible for what they have done to themselves in the past just as a person that has prostituted themselves to another God or to people sexually. (1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.") Also, if a new Christian doesn't know what Leviticus 19:28 states and has a tattoo added to their body they to are also not responsible for what they don't know. We are responsible for what we DO KNOW and it is as clear as "the nose on your face" that Leviticus 19:28 states "You shall not ... make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD." You therefore ARE responsible for what you know and if you disobey that Scripture you will be responsible for that before the Lord.
@@sallydennison1266 I would love to reply to your essay but I realize agree to disagree is a better option just for the record I'm fully aware of what the scripture says I simply disagree with interpretation of the context of what was said, also if you chose to live by those laws that fine but then you have to apply all of them you can't pick out the ones you like and avoid others but I see religion has is your focus more so than relationship not just with God but with your fellow christian brothers and sisters sadly that isn't that different from the scribes hence they saw Jesus as a horrible violation of religion, but I wish you all the best.....
@@joelsambrano6356 The Scribes added to the Law THEIR traditions NOT following the Law as written in the bible that they had at that time - the Old Testament. For example look at Matthew 15, "Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said, 2 “Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.” 3 And He answered and said to them, “Why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? 4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’ and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother is to be put to death.’ 5 But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever I have that would help you has been given to God,” 6 he is not to honor his father or his mother.’ And by this you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you:
8 ‘This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far away from Me.
9 ‘But in vain do they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.’”
So, the Scribes added to their law that when you eat you MUST wash your hands. They also greedily told the believers / the Jews that it was better to give to "God" rather than honoring their parents by taking care of them when necessary. My, Brother Joel Sambrino, you need to take the reading and study of Scripture as serious as Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour did when He was tempted in the desert before he began his formal ministry. Matthew 4 states, "Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And after He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He then became hungry. 3 And the tempter came and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on EVERY word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.’” I encourage you to get serious my friend by reading the Scripture and try to live it out. Yes, you and I fall short and it is by the grace of the Lord we are saved (Ephesians 2:1-10). BUT that gives you nor me the right to not follow everything in Scripture as the Holy Spirit provides us strength.

God is love! May I remind you that the Bible also states that love thy neighbor as you love thyself sounds like you are not being a loving neighbor by judging them because of their tattoo's or lack thereof tattoo's. tattoos are not a sin when the reason of the individual gets one to glorify God and your love for him. Just like the pastor said.
He is very ignorant
Tattoos were associated with pagan and Baal worship….exactly…
It's about idolatry and people who get tattoos have idolatry in their hearts.
What other reason is there? Giving our lives to Christ means following His commandments, following His voice. Was it Christ who told you to mark your body that now is suppose to belong to Christ? The spiritual connection to everything we do is what prideful and self righteous apostate church ignores.
Wow! Cool.

You are now a new creation
Well you just taught opinion over Bible. Bible is clear about making no cuttings on your body, Bible is also clear about we are beautifully and wonderfully made and the temple of the Holy Ghost. Tattoos are nothing more than permanent graffiti on our temples. Nice twisting of scripture but you are sincerely wrong..
The nation of Israel was to be an example of how God's people should live and be. They were to be a light to all surrounding nations Deuteronomy 4 :5-8. If God says not to get one (a tattoo) than that's a done deal. God had a bigger picture in mind.
And trully if we would be honest with ourselves can you really picture Jesus getting a tattoo???
Tattoo wasn’t even a word when the Bible was written
The New Testament defines sin as anything done outside of the realm of faith, (Romans 14:23), and that whatever we do should be done to the glory of God, (1 Corinthians 10:31). God also says that he gives us his laws and statutes for OUR good,, (Deuteronomy 6:24).
So if you can honestly say that the health risks you are taking, do not warrant God's warning of caution, and that Jesus will truly be glorified before the Father and the angels of heaven by your added graffiti on the body He made for you, in His own perfect image, then I suppose you need to go right ahead and get it, (Proverbs 14:12).
Why does a person make a DELIBERATE CHOICE to alter in a permanent way the temple of God?
Tattoos are popular in today’s culture as it was in the cultures that surrounded Israel. They were applied for various reasons to demonstrate ownership of slaves, worship pagan gods, etc….
Will God respect the condition of His property when you seek to surrender the earthly body for your spiritual everlasting body. What justification can be offered for labeling God’s property as “JOHNNY’S” because he was the love of your life?

God tells us to be holy for he is holy.You are created in the image of God .Your body is the temple of the Lord keep it Holy.Don’t get tattoos it is desecrating the temple of God.God will still save people with tattoos if it is his will to save that person just the same as he will save those people who don’t have tattoos.For no one can come to Jesus unless the father draws him.For when you become saved you are born again and want to be a holy temple for God.For you are created in his image.

Thank God for Jesus who gave His life to redeem ours. I bless him that if you chose to get a tattoo and now feel as though it's wrong just remember that you can be... and are forgiven...just ask
If tattoos are a stumbling block to you, and it feels like a sin, then to you, it is a sin, and you should stay away from it, but do not judge others about it. There are many subjects that are not directly addressed in the Bible. You should study it, pray about it, and let God speak to you about it. Personally I don't like tattos. I don't like they way they look, and I think they can draw attention to yourself, and away from what really matters. I don't like those weird ponytail things that some men wear on top of their heads. It's an attention/look at me everybody, thing. That's not what walking with Christ is supposed to be about. Death to self, and live for Jesus.
This is common sense stuff. You don't have to debate on it...all of it is against God period!
I appreciate the pepper illustration, but I don’t know any serious Christian who categorizes things they don’t like as sin.

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world-the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does-comes not from the Father but from the world.

some people who have a Tattoo do it by coping what others are doing due to ignorance. Others have it due to the unresolved emotional pain they have passed. others have opened demonic spiritual doors by having tattoos. We all need Jesus to heal us and surrender our pain to him rather than expressing in our body. Jesus came to heal the broken hearted. Many leaders of the church have a tattoo and many want to copy what they have; we should follow the word of God and the word of God should dwell in us richly. pastors, believers we are all working towards heaven. lest you be deceived. St. Paul says even as I preach the gospel I look back at my self so that I may not miss the mark. when one buys a Rolls Royce Cullinan and a cheap small second hand vehicle which one will he be careful not to be scratched & scribbled? yo be the judge.

Tattoos glorify God?
When you come to Jesus you are saved!
If Jesus Would want to get one , Them I’m all for it , But By Jesús who obeyed the Law and by doing pleasantly Obeying the law did not get one nor he would get one today . Then Why Would I deliberately do the opposite the Jesus would do.
I’m supposed to do and walk and imitate Jesus In all we do by word and acts.
Measuring Devices are tools use to seek standards of application.
The Law of Moses Shows how we can measure right from wrong .
The Jews Heritage has brought moral framework to the Christianity and Jesus Lived By them and Follow them and By doing so, He was approved by The Father.
Although No Jesus follower will be justified by the Law That doesn’t disapprove that The Law was a Good measuring tape.
The day that Jesus Followers Walk away from The Moral Framework of Jesus’s compass his followers will become Lawless Followers with out directions. With out a tape to know right from Wrong.
I WAS A TATTOO ARTIST AND I GAVE MY LIFE TO THE LORD AND GOD TOLD ME HIMSELF IT WAS NOT HIS WILL AND WAS A SIN. I WAS MAKING ALOT OF MONEY 💰 BUT GOD SPOKE TO ME AND TOLD ME IT WAS A SIN...I QUIT AND NEVER LOOKED BACK... HE IS DECIEVED AND HE IS DECIEVING MANY.....
What a lie of the enemy. Tattoos do not honor God!!! The scriptures given clearly said do not. There is no scripture in the Bible that says a believer tattooed their body to please God.
What if I got a cross for Jesus as a religious tatoo
If God would have wanted that.. why didn't he create you and everyone else with a cross tattoo or tattoos in general?
It's still wrong..... We cannot sanctify the things of the devil
@@strawberrynoodles5470 so I can’t wear my cross necklace bc god didn’t make everyone with a cross necklace 🤣🤣🤣
What about ear piercings?
@@monikavolker1615 This is a complex topic that can't be discussed in a comment section, but if you're truly interested and not just looking for an argument, I'd be open to connect on a different social media platform.
This guy is not straight to the point as the Holy Bible says not to have tattoos. Lack of knowledge
Amen Eneliko, I WAS A TATTOO ARTIST AND I GAVE MY LIFE TO THE LORD AND GOD TOLD ME HIMSELF IT WAS NOT HIS WILL AND WAS A SIN. I WAS MAKING ALOT OF MONEY 💰 BUT GOD SPOKE TO ME AND TOLD ME IT WAS A SIN...I QUIT AND NEVER LOOKED BACK... HE IS DECIEVED AND HE IS DECIEVING MANY.....
Tattoos are hell on the body.
