1 | Is tattoos acceptabe as christians | 1 Cor 6:19 | chosen one | 215284 | ||
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 |

Hi again, Chosen: Here's what I've just got from wikipedia : "Tattoos are sometimes used by forensic pathologists to help them identify burned, putrefied, or mutilated bodies. Tattoo pigment is buried deep enough in the skin that even severe burns will often not destroy a tattoo. Because of this, many members of today's military will have their identification tags tattooed onto their chests or ribs (these are sometimes known as "meat tags" in the American armed forces). For many centuries seafarers have undergone tattooing for the purpose of enabling identification after drowning. In this way recovered bodies of such drowned persons could be connected with their family members or friends before burial. Therefore tattooists often worked in ports where potential customers were numerous. The traditional custom continues today in the Royal Navy (Great Britain) and in many others." Shalom Azure |

Azure Thanks for that post. I did not think of it this way. I normally wouldn't agree to the tattoo thing, but I can certainly see a purpose beyond what I had previously considered. I'm still not convinced for myself, but I could not argue with someone in this situation doing it. MJH |

Dear MJH, Thank you. I don't agree to it either. Most of us, like you and I, are living in a quite stable environment where we seldom face extreme challenges. I view those (soldiers, sailors or the like) putting on tattoo (hidden under clothes) for the purpose of forensic pathologists are doing it out of love and not pride. If they are not doing this for serving idols or showing pride, I don't think we should judge their such behaviour sinful. Another example I got from a speaker who once said about a case - a christian widow worked as a prostitute in a very very poor country. Her father was a long-time patient who needed considerable medical care and her children were still very young. No jobs were provided. What could she do to care for her family with basic need (food and medicine) but selling her own body? She came up to the speaker and asked him "am I a sinner as a prostitute?" Every time when I think of this case, I could not hold my tears. God knows our motives and our hearts. Just a bit of my sharing. Shalom Azure |

Azure: This "story" is a made up one. The very same story was in a book on situation ethics. There is no excuse EVER for prostituting, NONE. Either the Lord can feed us or the Lord wants us home. In James it says we are drawn into sin, not by God but by our own selfish desires. Remember many Christians in the past chose death over their worship of a government head. Did not Daniel trust God over bowing down? Situation ethics is really tricky, a tool satan has used from the time of Adam and Eve. justme |
