Bible Note: Hi Lionheart Rabbinic law was based in scripture, but that is where they ceased to resemble each other. The Rabbis added to the simplest of laws given, thereby making them very complicated, and hard to follow. Case in point is the law about not working on the Sabbath, I heard a very devout Jew one day, relating this with PRIDE, "we not only are not supposed to work on the Sabbath, but the law says we should put away our paper, and pencils, so that we wont even touch them, because they represent work, if we do touch them we are then guilty." That is the letter of the law, if I have ever heard it. But I was only pointing out that we just don't know, I felt the people, God had chosen to speak to, would have a better handle on it than we would, because it isn't anywhere in the New Testament. I don't want to give credence to Rabbinic law, but the Jews have a longer tradition, of separating themselves from such things. Takeing it in a literal sense, in my mind, tattooing is not of God. It is defacing Gods property, we are told to keep ourselves unspotted from the world, I believe tattooing is from Satan, and of the world. As God has said, "come out from them and be ye separate." You can now see, I have come back to my original statement, it would all be speculation, nobody knows. Vintage68 |
