Leviticus 19:28 states that you do not put tattoos on your body. What I want to know is if this was in the old testament when they were under the law, if it applies today now that we are under grace. I see alot of believers with tatoos. Share your views, please. | ||||||

Dear Chosen, Welcome to the forum. Yes, we are under grace but it does not mean that we can do whatever we want (Rom 5:20-6:23). But I am not saying that putting on tattoos is sin. Perhaps you may find the below helpful to you. http://www.gotquestions.org/tattoos-sin.html http://www.gotquestions.org/Christian-tattoos.html Shalom Azure |

Dear Azure, A blessed good morning to you and thank you for taking the time out to respond to my question and suggesting the websites. However since you are not saying that putting on tattoos is a sin then are you saying that it is acceptable once you don't see as defiling the temple (body) because we do peirce our ears and that is acceptable. Please bear with me and help me to clarify. Bless Chosen one |

Dear Chosen, I would suggest you do a bit of searching by typing the post # 9741 and scroll down to the bottom of the page. It will lead you to the past discussion on Leviticus 19:28. My quick and preliminary reading find that some of the posts provided some historical background concerning the law given to the Israelite. I believe they are helpful for your understanding of Lev 19:28 and its application. Whether it is sin or not, I believe it depends on our motive of such behaviour. The 2 articles in the link I gave you earlier have addressed this point I think. Some years ago I was told (but still need verification) that tattooing was pretty much common in the army as it served the function of personal identification for the victims at war in the old time since soldiers could be blown into pieces that beyond recognition. Shalom Azure |

Good Morning Azure Thank you for the advice and information. I checked out the websites you recommended earlier and believe me based on the information I obtained at those sites I am convinced that tattoos are not of God and therefore I would disuade anyone I know from obtaining tattoos on their bodies. Thanks again for taking the time out to enlighten me. Stay blessed. Chosen. |
