E-MESS: No, not a tattoo
Posted 11 years ago - Mar 18, 2014
From: WallyIf I was going to commit adultery I would probably consider Christy Brinkley. Shocking statement? That is how I felt when I hear the host of a Christian radio station consider getting a tattoo as though it is ok to do. Please read Leviticus 19:28.That was a nice shot, although it was not needed cause we could have just had a conversation about it. I am bummed you felt the need to start from such a negative place here and with such sarcasm but we are in it now I guess.
I can tell this is a passionate subject for you. It just isn't for me. I am sorry. I have read the verse you are talking about many times and it refers to taking a mark for the dead which is about taking part in a pagan custom. I don't think that equates to a random tattoo.
Even if you want to come at it from the body is a temple angle then no Christian should be over weight either. I don't think there is any way God's grace and blood are not enough to cover a tattoo let alone just a conversation about one.
Did you know the Bible actually says in Isaiah, that God has your name tattooed on his hand, so I am thinking like most things with God, it is not about the tattoo itself but about the intention and heart. That is what God seems to judge. We as people really tend to judge the outside. I appreciate your thoughts but I am not on the same page as you with this one. Sorry.
