I am not against anyone who do such, but to use an analogy, why do evangelical Churches not hang painting and objects of attention in their property. Is it not to keep the temple in a state that has some reverence and purity. Should not our bodies be of a similar stature. And while we are there, the bible does say a woman should cover her head when prophesying and most get around it with silly excuses and reference to it, and well throw your stones now, I am back to chores. I wear a scarf part of the time in church. I feel I should. I do not make an issue that others have to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only because I cant stand the feel of synthetics. I feel suffocated in them. They. Dont. Breathe. I do not do it because of the old testament law. I don’t mind some 40% polyester in my shirts so I don’t have to iron them. As you know, 100% cotton means WRINKLES GALORE! Ugh! After all, I have to look good out on the golf course...? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyhow, this was a letter by Paul to address specific going on in Corinth. I would advise caution about making full blown doctrine that applies to all generations to all people. Sometimes these letters are specific to,that time. Food sacrificed to idols comes to my mind first. I would think that verse 7 gives the reason and has nothing to do with temple prostitutes. Anyway, I hope my response is within the topic and if not I will move on if anyone objects to my reasoning in referencing head coverings and women dress when in church.

(Staying on topic) Actually there is a disadvantage to tats that can be harmful to ones health. (I am not saying someone is in sin if they have or get any tattoos though.) Certain colors in tattoos make it quite difficult to get an mri. Red especially. So if you end up needing an mri and you have a tattoo ... you are in some difficulty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only mark on the body that one would have due concern, would be the mark of the Beast. Now, I realize that in theory it will be a microchip and not an actual tattoo. But, it's also difficult to imagine authorities running around with handy scanners to ID everyone. It seems to reason, the identification should readily be seen. Just a thought. Here's something to note... Chargma - The Mark in Mark of the Beast. The Greek word for mark is chargma. Strong's Concordance defines chargma as "a scratch or etching", "a badge of servitude", "graven", and finally "mark". Strong's also notes that chargma is directly related to the Greek word charax, which means "to sharpen to a point" and also describes "a stake".
