  • Anybody can appreciate great art. But what if that art ends up on your skin? Sinner. J/K. But seriously is it okay to get a tattoo?

    People just don't understand that from the beginning to the end of the Bible God calls his people not to take on the practices of the pagan. Where did tattooing come from. Did Bill Graham have one? How about D. L. Moody? Charles Wesley? Is this a traditional Christian practice or a traditional pagan practice? “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,” (2Corinthians 6:17)

    It's rather amusing to see that people who call themselves Christians will bicker and argue amongst themselves to such an extent as I see here instead of sharing love. Pray. Do your best to do what is right. None of us know all the answers.

    To who ever quoted scripture about nothing separating us from God's love:
    Just because the word says how nothing can separate us from God's love, it doesn't mean we won't go to hell for how we live. The word also tells us not to conform to the patterns of this world. The bible does not contradict itself. How can you promote looking like the world by getting tats as a believer and then tell those who come to Christ to not be like the world? Contradicting don't you think? The word says SIN separates us from God, not from His love. God will always love us no matter what we do, but that doesn't mean we won't go to hell for how we live our lives rejecting him and his word.

    Why the "pastor" said that the verse in Leviticus is no longer relevant... is not true...:
    Luke 21:33 "Heaven and earth will come to an end, but my words will not come to an end.",
    2 Timothy 3:16 "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness",
    Revelation 22:18-19: For I say to every man to whose ears have come the words of this prophet's book, If any man makes an addition to them, God will put on him the punishments which are in this book: And if any man takes away from the words of this book, God will take away from him his part in the tree of life and the holy town, even the things which are in this book."
    In fact here is answer:
    2 Timothy 4:3-4: "For the time will come when they will not take the true teaching; but, moved by their desires, they will get for themselves a great number of teachers for the pleasure of hearing them; And shutting their ears to what is true, will be turned away to belief in foolish stories."

      I believe in cross and salvation through faith but if someone says "the some part of Bible is no longer relevant" I have problem with this idea..
      Why?
      Because if we preach "some part of Old testament is no relevant" - finally someone will say "C'mon we have now different times so some part of New Testament is no relevant too.. for example - same-sex marriages, divorces and remarriage, woman as pastors etc.". The sad thing is fact that we have problem with these ideas atm.
      So we must be careful about these kind of ideas..

    Isiaiah 8:11 is actually a preamlbe to a list of actions regarding trust in God (see Isaiah 8:*11-17*). A more applicable verse would be Romans 12:2. In either case, both refer to "following the way of the world" in one's thoughts. Romans 12:2 refers to changing one's ways of thinking. It discusses the mindset the world uses. For instance, the world celebrates Christmas for materialism. Does this mean we should stop celebrating? No, it means we should use Christmas to remember Jesus.

I don't know your background but as far as my own goes, the Bible doesn't tell us to wear three-piece suits or tucked in shirts in the house of the Lord. It's something man came up with.

    I'm surprised this is even being debated by a pastor. If we have to sugar coat, debate or wonder if we should be doing something the answer is a resounding no. We are to honor our bodies and keep them in a manner that is praise worthy to God. A tattoo is obviously not an unforgivable sin but do you really think that it's any different than self adornment or even self mutilation for that matter? Anything that we do to our bodies that can bring harm is willful disobedience to the Lord. Tattoos are not only expensive but getting a tattoo increases your risk of contracting life threatening diseases, infection and possible disfigurement and scarring. When someone says they're doing it for Jesus I just want to say they are deceiving themselves and quite possibly deceiving others that are watching what they do as Christians. God was clear when he said no tattoos. He didn't say that some are acceptable. He said don't do this to your body. The only liberty we have with our bodies is to serve him by serving others and worship him. End of subject, no debate. We don't condemn those who were led astray to get one but we don't advise or condone other Christians to get them either. They can be used as a testimony of how we can easily be led astray so they can be used for good but not when we choose to get them after we've been washed by the blood of Jesus. Speaking the gospel should be done by hearing it from the mouth of a person or by spending intimacy alone with God reading holy scripture. Scripture is holy and should not be treated in any way less than that.
    Leviticus 19:28 "Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourself"
    You're taking unnecessary risk if you do and it's clearly a sin. We must walk boldly in truth friend. If you have a tattoo ask God to forgive you and he will but don't lead someone else astray. This is what the watered down Christian churches are doing because they don't want to offend people and lose popularity and money. Twisting the word of God is a dangerous game. ❤👣🙏🔥
