Bible Question: does the bible have any refferences to tatoos? |
Bible Answer: Popcorn33: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum. I have dialogued about tatoo's on another Christian forum a number of times. Almost always the person wanting or actually having a tatoo, the answer "yes it's just fine", comes back with that verse in leviticus is in the old Testament and therefore it does not apply to us today. With that kind of reasoning, then why not say the Ten Commandments do not apply today? I hope you get my point, many Christians don't use the wisdom of the Holy Spirit in seeking wisdom and common sense. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Tells us we have been bought with the price, Jesus bought and paid our sin debt with His Blood and his death and ressurrection. In verse 19 we are told we are the Temple of the Holy Spirit. We often see tatoo's with satanic, deviant, macabre, pornographic, so called art work on non christians, and Christians who had tatoo's before they got saved. Some tatoo's defies the Holy Spirit. When Christians who get tatoo's either do not know or rejects being the temple of the Holy Spirit. Some have said "but its a christian tatoo. The Lord clearly left no exceptiom in Leviticus 19:28. I knew of a young man who had the symbol of the German Army in WW2 tatooed on the top of his head. He always shaved his head. After be surrendered to Christ he always wore his hair long enough to hide the tatoo. In closeing tatoos are wrong to have. A person should keep them covered or if he or she can afford to have it removed that would be the better option. lusyme |
