My brother wants to get a Jesus tattoo, how can I stop him? -
03-02-2010, 05:19 PM
Hi brothers and sisters,
My brother wishes to defile the body our Good Lord gave him by desecrating it with a tattoo of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ on his forearm.
I believe the tattoo he is considering getting looks something like this:

or like this:

What should I do to stop him besmirching his body with this tattoo?

Tell him that he will assure himself of a place in hell is he does.
How old is your brother? Why hasn't your local pastor done an intervention with him?
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)

Sweet Lord Jesus,
I want to pray for those who persecute me, my Lord.
Please, treat their children as you treated those of Egypt, when they upset you! (Psalm 135:8-9)
Dash their little children against the stones for their fathers iniquity! (Psalm 137:8-9)
Hit them on the cheek, and smash out their teeth! (Psalm 3:7)
Make their death and descent into Hell swift and terrible! (Psalm 55:15)
Scatter their broken bodies over the streets of their evil cities, like Benghazi, Amsterdam, Tokyo and Mecca! (Psalm 110:6)
Praised be Your Glorious Name™.
Amen.

Bang on his head with a Bible until he changes his mind about this.
Freedom means voting for Donald Trump!
To most "Christians" The Bible is like a license agreement. They just scroll to the bottom and click "I agree". All those "Christians" will burn in Hell!

Advise him that he should just get the text of Leviticus 19:28 tattooed on his arm instead. If he's stupid enough to go along with that, then frankly he deserves to be damned.
O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

Leviticus 19:26-31 deals with pagan practices and God's prohibitions against adopting those practices. In verse 28, God is warning the Jewish people about a pagan practice at funerals, where pagans would mutilate/mark themselves to appease their false gods. The pagans hoped that by cutting themselves and marking images/symbols of idols on their bodies, that they would obtain favor in the afterlife from their false gods, both for themselves and for those who just died.
Unless your brother is trying to pacify a pagan deity, which he is not, it is safe to say this verse is not relevant. If you disagree, you must believe piercing ears are just as much of a sin. Something's telling me you don't...haha but who knows.
The right thing to do is to ask your brother to pray about getting a tattoo. Whether it's the right choice or not. And even to pray upon what kind of tattoo to get and where to get it when/if it comes down to it. Tattoos are not something to take lightly, but tattooing your body is not a sin.
As long as your heart is in the right place, as long as you trust and follow our Lord Jesus Christ, everything else just falls into place. Getting a christian tattoo can be a great way to show others where you stand, to remind yourself why you are here, to remind yourself how much you are loved, and a great reminder to steer you away from temptation. The same concept of my purity ring. Seeing it on my finger every day is a wonderful reminder of the meaning in 1 Thessalonians 4:3-4.
Please let your brother read my message to you. Remember to have him pray greatly over his decision to get a tattoo. He needs to put a lot of thought into it considering it is a cosmetic surgical alter to one's body.
I will be praying for both of you on his decision.

Let me see if I understand what you said. You seem to think that YOU are somehow qualified to say what God meant in the scripture Leviticus 19:26-31. I had no idea that the word of God was up for debate. You either follow the word of God to the letter or you don't.

Amen, Brother Jimmy. It's amazing the mental gymnastics these false Christians have to put themselves through to justify their perversions and wickedness.
Christians are superior because we possess an understanding that unbelievers lack. It is through the Power of Jesus only the converted mind is able to understand what is going on in the world; what the Communists are really up to; what Satan's intentions are. Most unbelievers do not even believe in Satan and cannot understand his tactics.

Won't be sinning?
Can you show me the Scripture that says tattoos aren't a sin?

So if you put on a Jesus tattoo you go to Hell because you defile his body. What happens if you put on a Satan tattoo?

There are different levels of torture in Hell depending on how much someone has annoyed us. You, for example, seem to be going for the ultra Hellfire with multi sodomy.

Why you should stop being gay:
Romans 1:26-27 "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which w as meet."

What the tattoo image is is not the point. God condemns all tattoos. If you weren't a Godmocking atheist queer you would have known that.

That's easy. Just chop off his arm.
Matt.18
[8] Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.
May the call of Jihad be forever outshined, outmatched, and outlasted by the The LORD's Crusade, to the end of eternity and the extinction of mortal flesh. Let those who march against it in His name be as giants - pure of heart, strong of body, honored, invulnerable. May those warriors be burning stars in the firmament of battle, angels of death on shining wings, bringing swift annihilation to the enemies of CHRIST. Amen.
