Bible Question:
What does the Bible say about getting tattoos? I'm considering getting one of a cross and having the date of my horrible car accident last year on it where I was pronounced dead twice. Thanks! -Laura Mosley |
Bible Answer: Dear Laura, I cannot imagine that Christ would have sought such adornment as tattoos. Further, it is beyond my ability to imagine a godly woman having such markings -- have you seen what percentage of people with tattoos wish they could have them removed? Laura, God has already tattooed your life. If, through His Providence, He has seen fit to save you from a car accident, then that is a physical tattoo that will be with you always. If, through His Providence, He has ssen fit to save you from your sins, then He seals you with the Holy Spirit, which is a spiritual tattoo that will be with you always. Yes, I concur... listen to what the Lord says... but not through some kind of mystical, emotional, experiencial sort of thing... listen to what the Word says. The human heart is far too deceitful to be depended upon. This is particularly true for a young person who, in this kind of thing, is more apt to be swayed by the whims of fashion. In Him, Doc |
