1 | Leviticus 19 talks about not marking you | Bible general Archive 1 | 29189 | |||
In Leviticus 19 it talks about not marking your bodies for idols or getting tatoos...there are many people who get tatoos. There are bikers who have religious tatoos that may really speak to other "hardened" bikers and could help to lead them to Christ. So, what were they talking about with the tatoos? Does God not like tatoos? | ||||||

Leviticus 19:28 29 "You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD. I believe this to be still talking about for the dead. it is not seperated by any punctuation indicating a seperate thought. At least I hope so! I have three. Two of which are "religous". One on my wrist has been a source of great help to me. I suffer from chronic depression. When I get real down, I can't help but occasionally glance at it. It is a simple "Christian fish" with ROM8:31 in it. When hard times come up, I might simply feel sorry for myself. But just a casual glance reminds me "If God is for us, who can be against us?" Bless...ArtS |

Hi ArtS I'll preface my remarks by letting you know I don't care about tattoos either way. I would say these verses (Lev 19) stand on their own without reference "for the dead". However, I will add that, as Ed stated, God wanted His people to be set apart. He did not want them practicing things the nations around them practice. They were to be different. Christians are to be the same way (Rom 12:1-2). How does that relate to a tattoo today? We live under grace and not law. If I may take Paul's admonition somewhat out of context-- All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything. - 1 Cor 6:12 You need to decide for yourself if it is appropriate and whether they are to remain or be removed. Ask yourself, "What is (was) my motive?" Act accordingly. Steve |
