Bible Question:
i am wanting to get me a tattoo to show my faith in God, and i have read leviticus 19:28, " 'Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD." was just wondering if i could still get one or not |
Bible Answer: ckyconan: Were did you get the idea that a tattoo of all things would show your faith in God? If you can find a commandment in all of Scripture that says, "Thou shalt get thyself a tattoo, for thou showest thy faith in God when thou hast thy body disfigured with a tattoo," then by all means hasten to a tattoo parlor. Otherwise, leave the tattoos in the hands of the macho urban cowboys who wear sunglasses at midnight and leather jackets in the middle of summer. If you put your mind to it, you could probably come up with dozens of ways to show your faith in God that would be far more effective than getting tattooed. --Hank |
