Bible Question: I wanted to know if tatoos are allowed. Is their any christian scriptures relating to this topic specifically . Whether or not it is ok to have them or not. I was told that when Jesus comes back he will have a tatoo on his thigh. It this accurate? and If so, is this not hypocritical? |
Bible Answer: Magie: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum. It is few and far between that someone give any thought to the User info. especia;;y on the first post! Thank you! The others have given you the Old Testament verse about Tatoos, so no need to repeat that. However with you experiences in college I am sure you too have seen that many men and women are tatooing their bodies in every place a tatoo can be put. Today in our culture perhaps more than fifty percent of the people under fourty have a tatoo. I can remember a time when anyone with a tatoo was considered a rebel, and the tatoos reflected that rebelious spirit, with vulgare tatoos. I think unless a tatoo can refect that we are Christians, a tatoo is unwise. We are bought with a price, the Blood of Jesus. If we are bought by Christ than we are His ans any mark on us should reflect we belong to Jesus. This gives anyone reading this something to think about,hey? justme |
