Featured Tattoos

Hi TC, yes I know we are under the new covenant, and the OT laws provide illustration and guidance, not commands.

But should we ignore that marking up our bodies was a pagan practice, condemned in the OT law. What about the parallel instructions in the New Testament. About avoiding adornment of the outside, and striving to improve the inside?

 

It sure is; what prompted you to twist it and make the false insinustions?

 

My thoughts on them are that they are an area of personal choice. I do not believe a tattoo in and of itsself is sin. I believe that the content or depiction of the tattoo can be sin. I also believe that many times tattoos are the product of rebellion whether or not the person actually realizes that at the time. The rebellion, not the ink, would be the sin.
Whether or not ink is sin depends on the motive behind the tattoo and the condition of the heart of the person receiving the tattoo.

 

We are born naked. God want us to wear clothes?

 

Unless one "Wastes" money on absolutely nothing, I believe it would be hard for them to condemn you for spending $60. We as Americans waste a pile of money. I do not have any tattoos, but I am guilty of wasting money.
