Millenia: It is Like a phlegm to see Christians Tattoo their Bodies, Mostly some Young girls and others who are in church choirs and who attend churches have tattoo on various places of their Bodies.

It is unfortunate to experience this Abominable act and most of then cannot be blamed because they Think they are actually serving God , But they are not serving hm at all.

A lot of things are happening in Christendom world Today and it relates to the amount of spiritual desolation that has come over churches all in the name of carelessness and pleasure and luxury living.A lot of Christians believe going to church's is being born again and that their heart matters instead of their appearance as the false minister's have also deceived them.

However, Leviticus 21:5 forbids making Incisions and tattooing of of any kind on the body, Unfortunately, people of the world place tattoos of my people they have killed on their bodies, People they have lost or dead relatives and living people.

.DEUTERONOMY 14:1 forbids making such tattoo's or incisions of dead people on the living either for any form of memorial or any form of obeisance. No wonder many Christians run into problems of seeing themselves being chased by dead spirits, bad dreams, nightmares, eating and drinking in the dreams, being used as a slaves and sent strange errands because they have tattooed their skin with various images of animals and people.

The other danger in this practice is That Occultists, satanists, and other evil societies use it to sign and covenant people with The devil, Demons.In other words Incision is the Strongest link Of blood covenant between an Individual and Satan or demon spirits. It Brings About satanic Possession, obsession, depression, retrogression,and oppression.

If such has happened to you in Ignorance, you have a solution and is to Break the covenant with whatever Image and spirit or tattoo you put on your body.If it is the Name of an Individual or demon , pray with Isiaiah 14:28 and break such covenants, or seek Deliverance form the church God directs you to as you pray and ask.

Tattoo is a sign you belong to someone

Poster you are a fundementalist nut....and u have a very poor knowledge of the bible. I am assuming that according to your misinterpretations all our fore fathers who tatooed thier skins due to thier cultural demands will be rotting in hell yea....lunatic.

spongeback: Old Testament, in the New Testament Jesus tore the curtain in the temple which signifies liberty. You can come worship God just as you are in spirit and in truth. undecided
d curtain dt u r referring to is d 1 dt seperates the holy place in d sanctuary 4m d most holy place-d place only permitted entrance to by d High Priest..on d day of atonement..Jesus is our High Priest nw n he has paid d supreme SACRIFICE..,d SPLITTING of d curtain to reveal d Most Holy place in d temple, a place privy to d eye of d public save d High Priest, signifies an end to all Sacrificial activities n ordinances.,all pointing to Christ..dt does nt guarantee LIBERTY as u inferred, to do anytn, esp 2 our bodies.,the temple of God..

Not that I have any tattoos or planning to get any but why are we always particular about some kind of 'sins' and choose to turn a deaf ear to others??

Fornication of all sins? This seems to bother you or why did it attract your interest?

damn it,there is nothing freaking wrong in wearing a tattoo.
The sin someone without a tattoo commits everyday is enough to make God hand him over to the devil himself.

Re: The Bible Forbids Tattoos by Nobody: 1:33pm On Sep 15, 2013
Mr Aboki: It reeks of sheer hypocrisy to single out the pasage that talks about Tattoos in the old testament book of leviticus and ignore the other rules that the same leviticus talks about in the following passages..

So since we are listing sins and aborminable christian practices, how about we talk about sins like:

0. Homosexuality: “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.” —Leviticus 20:13.

1.   Death penalty for using the Lord’s name in vain

“He who blasphemes the name of the Lord shall be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him; the sojourner as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.” (Lev. 24:16)

2.   Prohibition against eating pork

“And the swine, because it parts the hoof and is cloven-footed but does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. Of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch; they are unclean to you.” (Lev. 11:7–cool

3.   Mandating of animal sacrifices

“If anyone sins unwittingly in any of the things which commanded not to be done, and does any one of them, if it is the anointed priest who sins, thus bringing guilt on the people, then let him offer the sin which he has committed a young bull without blemish to the Lord as a sin offering. He shall bring the bull to the door of the tent of meeting before the Lord, and lay his hand on the head of the bull, and kill the bull before the Lord. … And all the fat of the bull of the sin offering he shall take from it, the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails, and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them at the loins, and the appendage of the liver which he shall take away with the kidneys … and the priest shall burn them upon the altar…. (Lev. 4:1–10) 

[NOTE: The first several chapters of Leviticus are devoted to mandatory animal sacrifices, such as the wringing of turtledoves’ necks, the cutting open of goats and bulls, and the vivisection of female lambs, for various sins.]

4.   Death penalty for spiritualists

“A man or woman who is a medium or a wizard shall be put to death; they shall be stoned with stones, their blood shall be upon them.” (Lev. 20:27)

5.   Human slavery sanctioned

“As for your male and female slaves whom you may have: you may buy male and female slaves from among the nations that are round about you. You may also buy from among the strangers who sojourn with you and their families that are with you, who have been born in your land; and they may be your property. You may bequeath them to your sons after you, to inherit as a Possession for ever.” (Lev. 25:44–46)

6.   Prohibition against eating fat

“It shall be a perpetual statute throughout Your generations, in all your dwelling places, that you eat neither fat nor blood.” (Lev. 3:17)

7.   Forbidding of hair and beard trimming

“You shall not round off the hair on your temples or mar the edges of your beard.” (Lev. 19:27)

8.   Prohibition against eating crab, clams, oysters

“Everything in the waters that has fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the rivers, you may eat. But anything in the rivers that has not fins and scales, of the swarming creatures in the waters and of the living creatures that are in the waters, is an abomination to you. They shall remain an abomination to you; of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall have in abomination. Everything in the waters that has not fins and scales is an abomination to you.” (Lev. 11:9–12)

9.   Death penalty for adultery

“If a man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall be put to death.” (Lev. 20:10)

 [Leviticus lists four other kinds of adultery for which the death penalty is also mandatory.]

10.  The profanity of disabled individuals

“For no one who has a blemish shall draw near, a man blind or lame, or who has a mutilated face or a limb too long, or a man who has an injured foot or an injured hand, or a hunchback, or a dwarf, or a man with a defect in his sights or an itching disease or scabs or crushed testicles; no man of the descendants of Aaron the priest who has a blemish shall come near to offer the Lord’s offerings by fire; since he has a blemish, he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God…He shall not come near the veil or approach the altar, because he has a blemish, that he may not profane my sanctuaries…” (Lev. 21:18–23)

11. Other prohibitions

“Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.” (Lev. 19:19)

Basically, you can't practice mixed farming or wear clothes made with multiple materials.









So why are you only focused on Tattoos?
Thank you very much. I have said it several times, if you're going to use Leviticus 19:28 to defend your point, then be prepared to quote the verses before and after that verse so as to avoid sounding hypocritical. I do not fancy tattoos but people need to take a good look at themselves before condemning others. There are many laws in Leviticus 19 which people turn a blind eye to but they only remember that chapter when it comes to tattoos and then single out verse 28.

Then when it comes to the other laws of Moses, the same people will say they don't follow the Old Testament, they're now born again in Christ and are following the New Testament. Bunch of hypocrites, I swear.

Jesus spoke about tithe and he encouraged xtians to practise it.
Paul also spoke about tithe and he said it's an honourable thing to do.
