Bible Question:
Is there a scripture telling us not to tatoo our body's with all this piercing going on.? I have read something about that order...Bible teacher help me..I need your help...Thanks. in christ!Grace7044 |
Bible Answer: Hi Grace7044, Lev 19:28 And you shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead; and you shall not put on yourself any etched mark; I am Jehovah. Marking one's body was often done as a form of worship to false gods. Nowadays, people will tattoo themselves indescriminately, but God wants us to be set apart for Himself, not going in all the ways the world goes. I hope this helps! Love in Christ, Mark |
