Although the ancient pagan custom of etching or tattooing symbols on human flesh was forbidden by God Tattooing for Jesus, by David Cloud reveals that this heathen custom is now being introduced to the churches. I certainly would not have any tattoo on my body. Just as Leviticus 19:29 is also an Old testament law which states; "Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness." I would not do this either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is better in that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was a cool idea... Until I read the comments. People were flipping out. Saying how it was a sin, and we should be like the world, etc... I'm a Christian, I have tattoos. In fact each of them represent a part of my walk with God. What do you think? Should Christians support tattoos? Does it matter? What do you think Jesus would do concerning getting a tattoo on his body? Can you genuinely answer that question honestly within yourself? If so then you should have your answer.

I live in jeans, boots and t-shirts in the winter and caprees and flip flops and light blouses in the summer. I'm just plain, simple and very casual.

In fact each of them represent a part of my walk with God. What do you think? Should Christians support tattoos? Does it matter? Shalom, rethinknow. From a biblical perspective, you've already been told about Leviticus 19:28, but that is indeed from the TANAKH (the OT) as direct commands to the children of Israel. On the other hand, I'm sure that, as a child of Israel and a Jew, Yeshua` (Jesus) would not have had any tatoos. On a more practical note, tatoos are pretty permanent. They can be removed, but usually not without complications. They also change with time, fading or shifting with the growth of tissue and skin beneath them. Once one has made such a mark in his or her body, there's PRACTICALLY no "undo." I've never known any truth that I would make permanent on my body to advertise to the world. For instance, like most, I used to think that "salvation" is the word that describes one's relationship with God. Today, not so much. I believe the better word is "Justification." Indeed, I would find it hard "to be all things to all men" with such a mark. Some jobs, for instance, need you to cover your tatoos in order to work there. There's no sin, however. For a weak Christian to beat another Christian over the head with Leviticus 19:28 is not necessary, and in fact, is PROHIBITED! If there was any "sin" involved, it would be found in attacking a brother or sister about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
