ItsModella: I will like to make a little correction. Moses don't have law. He is a messenger who only deliver the instructions given to Him. Moses don't have law. |

Uhh....Why should anyone get a tattoo in the first place?It's needless.For those saying 'Old Testament'. . . . Please Think about this:Why does the Bible consist of both old and new testament?Why not the 'New Testament' alone?. . . |

when you put on tatoo not campin with responsibility but making yourself look ire and irresponsible. Have you ever thought how stupid and foolish you will look if you are old think of the whole lot of explanation you will make to you kids and grand kids when you tell them why you did this as for me i see tatoo as a mark of surge of stupidity and i take the ladies as whores whom i cont and cant and wont marry. Ever imagined taking a tatoo babe to marry or show her to your parents. Have you seen an old woman that has tatoo on her ragged and sagged skin thats how you will be |

But are christians bound by Lev. 19? No. If u must preach, u must preach d truth and explain to pple where decency comes in. The fact still remains that in as much as tattoos aren't decent, All Laws given thru Moses are no longer binding on christians. |

D law has bn fulfilled. Christians dnt have any business there any longer. So if u r keepin 1 of d laws, u had better keep the others includin d sabbath or u will b condenmed by ur own ignorant self righteousness. Plz, read ur Bible with understandin bcs u err bcs u dnt have a gud understandin of d Bible. |

The new testament came to confirm the old testament.. They're both from God, and He'll NEVER lower His standards for you, me,or anyone.. In your quote,'just as you are',and 'spirit and truth' are completely different.. Pls o, read God's word with understanding, so you dont get a rude shock on judgement day. God bless you |

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. Excuse me Mr Officer, do you also know that "apparently" 1. "God forbids wearing of garments that consist of linen and wool" (Leviticus 19: 19)- I bet you that what you are wearing right now is mixed fabric. Don't believe me? Look at the label lol 2. "God also forbids shaving your beard" (Leviticus 19: 27&28) - Like the modern day Jews who practice Judaism with sideburns long enough to tie humans up. Ah! It is the same scripture that says you should not have tattoos. Definately, I am certain that you abide by this also and your face looks like big cotton wool or a bird's nest ![]() 3. Oh, I thought the beard one was bad. Priests are also not allowed to cut their hair and should not have dreadlocks (Ezekiel 44:20). Seeing as you are preaching God's word here, it is safe to assume you are a priest. You are definately performing priestly duties here. Do you, my brother go to the barber at all? "God doesn't want that!" 4. Usually people who are against tattoos for biblical reasons tend to be against body piercings also. Lets talk nose rings for example. Most christians will say Hell No! (My bad, most will omit the "hell" ). However in Ezekiel 16:12, " And I put a jewel in your nose, earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head" - God apparently did this himself which means there is nothing wrong with it. This can continue forever. The hypocrisy christians display is sometimes downright disgusting. I am not accusing you nor do I mean to sound insulting however, my aim is to make you have a rethink. It is silly to isolate a certain part of the scripture to prove doing a certain thing is wrong. This aplies to what I have listed also. If God was talking to the children of Jacob and said they should not do something, it applies to the Children of Jacob only unless otherwise stated don't take it out of the context and put a "one size fits all" label on it. Last time I checked, I am not related to Jacob. I am more likely related to Sango, Oya or Ahmadioha lol. 1 Like |

Gloria3389: I dont knw why christians hate the truth...i dont knw y they like to squeez d truth nd bend it to their own satisfaction....why do u need to tatoo urself in d first place?....u need to check if u re truly saved if u tatoo urself as a xtian....? Or did jesus tatoo himself wen he was alive?...and u want to reign wit christ?....i doubt ur salvation Another illogical reasoning, so because Jesus did not go to school it means i should not too right or because Jesus wore robes and not trousers then am sinning wearing trousers right? The intention of the tatoos is what makes it sinful or not, a lot of people have tribal tatoos and hypocrites like you would never condemn it. |

jascopassion: Wonder why people will see the truth and still try to move into darkness. It has been written jst according to Lev 19:28 If you base your way of life on a book that was written by unknown authors. Dont you think something is wrong upstairs? People get tattoos for various reasons. firstly, to show the world something that we want them to associate integrally with who we are, or secondly, to remind ourselves of something that we might see as integral to who we are or what we stand for. I think often what we are trying to achieve is an inward change, but it’s much easier, for instance, to have the word ‘courage’ tattooed on us than actually acting with courage. Perhaps if one sees the word ‘courage’ on one’s skin each day, one might be compelled to beocme more courageous. Pretty much, we really need to look at our motivations before getting a tattoo. Is tattoo a sin to God? We need to ask ourselves which of the gods? Does God genuinely exist? If he does, isn't he more concerned about hunger,poverty,solar flares hitting the planet he built in seven days? Some farmers put tattoos on cows,sheep and goats.... Is God unhappy with that too? Is it possible for Nigerian christians to reason with their brains for ones? I guess not! |

Re: The Bible Forbids Tattoos by Nobody: 4:22pm On Sep 15, 2013 |
Like many issues in the Bible, there are contradictions. On one hand, there is the prohibition against tattoo then there is the question Does Jesus have a Tattoo in Revelation 19:16 ? It states: Revelation 19:16 (King James Version) 16And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. |

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. Rubbish! Of all the problems in the world, you reckon the most pressing subject on God's mind is that little tattoo you've got on your forearm? How about kids that are dying of starvation in Somalia? and Your pastors that would rather spend their billions on private jets than solve the world's problems? What is wrong with you stupId people for Christ sake? It is exactly because of rubbish preachings like this that have stopped or prevented many from turning to the Lord. You sound like the Pharisees who condemned the Lord for healing someone on Sabbath! - Knowing and living by the law is not how you make heaven, you dumb chit! Jesus was clear enough when he said their are two commandments: Love God and Love your neighbour! -- Love God with all your heart and your soul, then Love your neighbor with all your heart and your soul - nothing is greater, nothing is better, nothing more is required. It is because of people like this that i have stopped attending many churches. They are good at spinning a particular verse of the bible whilst ignoring the rest when it suits them - very much like the devil himself. They are good at making themselves look like saints, by pointing out your errors - "Oh brother bookface, you have sinned by looking at that pretty damsel over there because the book of Isiah said ...." Just Shut UP you ijiots! Blessed is he who realizes that the Bible itself is a guide. First it It teaches you history - by explaining how God related to people many centuries ago. Second It guides you through the present - by explaining how to learn to love God, to grow in the spirit, and to have a relationship with the Lord. Your daily relationship with the Lord is how you learn to avoid sin, your spirit simply tells you something is right and something is wrong. You CAN'T avoid sin by reciting every law in the Bible and checking them off a list. Third, it guides you into an expected future, and the coming of the king! Christians should stop listening to all these fake brothers and sisters, who simply want to pass of as the holiest of the holiest. 2 Likes |
