But even if that were the least of ones worries or acceptance of God's word on tattoos, the idea I'd contaminating your largest organ, your skin, and have the contamination from that tattoo filter and contaminate your liver and kidneys or heart etc, it should give you pause. Car paint, printers' ink, lead paint, dyes that are made in an unsterile area with needles that are not disinfected would make me run. I do not need to be in a hospital connected to an IV pumping antibiotics into my body in hopes that I do not lose a portion of my body or skin to save my life. God admonished us for our "good" health, why would we not listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it of? What is your purpose in getting one? There are strong questions that need to be asked, and praying that needs to be done about it. I would, personally, though, reject the use of the commandment in Leviticus about it. Jesus didn't have a tattoo, of course, but he also didn't break with the dietary laws of the time, which were later removed by God of course. I think "Jesus didn't, therefore it's a sin" would be hastily casting too big a blanket over an issue. I would certainly advise careful consideration and prayer to anyone considering getting one, though. A good thoughtful reply, as making somone who already has one feel that they cannot come to Christbecause they have done something 'so abominable ' ,smacks of the kind of judgementalism which has impeded Christianity for so long . I did not need the bible, to know that engraving on your skin is dangerous and in bad taste ,and that the more there is, the worse it is . That often those people, have a problem with self esteem of the good kind , and maybe approaching it from a loving less biblical approach would be better . I see too many who use the bible as a clobbering tool . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were instructions given by YHWH in TORAH for that case also --- as soon as someone finds out or is made aware that they sinned , they are instructed to repent of it. Some people may get a tattoo either before they are saved, or afterwards, but before realizing it is rebellion against JESUS. Then, later, when they find out it is sin, they can repent of it, as YHWH'S WORD directs. Makes me think of the 'inner tattoo' of sin ,which we all carry , so maybe a little less judgmentalism of those who have done so 'before ' as you say Jeff .

Isaiah 44:5-6 5"This one will say, 'I am the LORD'S; And that one will call on the name of Jacob; And another will write on his hand, 'Belonging to the LORD,' And will name Israel's name with honor. 6"Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: 'I am the first and I am the last, And there is no God besides Me. on weather Jesus would or could have a tattoo? Revelation 19:16 16And He has a name written on His robe and on His thigh: King of kings and Lord of lords. I say these things not because I justify my thoughts, but to show God is true and Holy and what is God's is God's what is of this world is of this world. I personally have a Tattoo that proclaims my love for my Savior Jesus Christ. so in closing, what is permissible for one may not be permissible for another. God calls us unto Glory and proclaim his name in many different ways. only thing he asks is for our hearts to be open to his will and calling. if God has not called you to something, turn and run from it. Whatever you do, do unto the glory of God, and God alone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very very sad ,and confused about which God he follows . What wicked person would take (probably a lot of ) money, to destroy the part of the body we canot hide ,and the part we need to relate to others ! It is a kind of suicide .

Nice work. So, your answer would have to be "No, Jesus did not have a tattoo" since it would of been against the Torah? So you know, I have tattoos I had done in the early 70's. They are ugly now and I wish I never had them done. There's a way to remove them. Have you looked into this? I was with my sister a few years ago when she decided to get a tattoo. Those tattoo shows on TV don't do it justice. The ink and the blood that mix together. It was quite an ugly sight as the gun was applying the tattoo. When it was over it was a lovely piece. That's her. I would not mar my skin in that way. There's something also in the Torah books of our bible that forbids tattoos isn't there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
