Hello fellas, tattoos?

[Shimei]

It has been a little while since posting on this forum. I ran into a very short video and was wondering about what you all thought about this. The gents argument starts out it seems with the old logic, two wrongs make a right. Then he goes into what seems to be proper hermeneutics...

Looking forward to hearing from you and receiving some Godly advice? I have a tattoo and regret it. And a family member has dozen, and now I'm looking at a young granddaughter that thinks them to be alright.... where does it stop?

Bad news, friend.


Leviticus 19:28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord.

Who cares what some wetback gangbanger says?



The Bible says not to get tattoos, you don't get tattoos, end of story.

Yes, in the video the argument was made that in context this was referring to specific time and place. And was prohibiting marking to do with idol worship. In context things like taking meat with blood and even having one's hair cut would also have to be addressed, for one would be a hypocrite to say that the bible prohibits ink and not follow the rest in context?

I know the Scripture, but I'm looking for additional perspectives before addressing this. Other arguments were, Jesus never addressed them. My thoughts are, really, had Jesus a need to address them? I mean the Jews had their laws and knew them, as you so kindly pointed out.

Just no.

The Bible is literally true. What other people think does not matter. Do you seriously think mere humans know the mind of God?

Not at all, God's thoughts and ways are higher... Isaiah

And I'm happy to accept your answer, I'll give it to them like a four year old, it's just that the four year old always has this annoying habit of asking - why?

God bless!

That should have been a red flag right there. To liberal false Christians, every Biblical law that they don't like referred to a specific time and place and had to do with idol worship. I've even heard that argument used agasint the Biblical condemnation of sodomy.

The problem is that the Bible doesn't say so. It doesn't say, "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you, because here and now it's a form of idolatry, but in different cultures in the future, it will be cool."

Pastor, I sincerely thank you. The obvious eluded me.

God Bless and thank you for equipping me to better deal with liberal members of the body of Christ!
