This sentence is about getting a tattoo, below as stated in the NIV. Quote 28 “‘Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the Lord. But we are Christians and not Jews. Jesus has created, with us Christians, a new covenant when he died. So are the rules, especially the Lev. 19:28 rule, also applicable to Christians?? Can you fellow Christians shine some light on this question? With love and blessings, Rik // The Netherlands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't necessarily correspond to modern tattooing, which is done for many different reasons - some may be acceptable for Christians, others not. I once had to have some very discreet tattoo marks on my body in connection with radiotherapy - but I don't think the ban on tattoos applies to something like that!

As Yeshua told all the disciples, He is even stricter now than before with the Israelites, and He doesn't say something different to different gentiles, no.

For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. The question I have to ask is, "Does God have a tattoo?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
