I plan on getting a tattoo of rain falling on broken up ground to represent how the Lord broke Israel and tore them apart before sending the rain. I will have the reference Hosea 6:1-3 beneath it. This is because the Lord has recently broke me, and I believe will send the rain later on. It is not only an encouragement to me, but it can start conversations with nonbelievers who see it.
Thankyou for this.. I’m actually planning to get a tattoo but I’m so hesitant because I’m afraid of being getting scold by my mom or by my relatives.. But i want to get a tattoo not just trying to be cool but to remind myself that “I’m not what i once was” And that’s the phrase i want to put on my body.. to remind myself that i am not the same again.. because before i am so suicidal..
Jose Robbertse Leviticus 19:27 "You shall not round off the hair on your temples or mar the edges of your beard." To remain consistent with what you just asserted, remember not to round off the hair on your temples or mar the edges of your beard...
if you got your tattoos BEFORE you were saved, that's one thing. If you get them AFTER you're saved, I'm sure it won't keep you out of heaven, but I still wouldn't wanna be the one to explain to Jesus why I ruined my body AFTER I got saved!
I got evil clowns skulls dum things I got wen I was young.if turnd my live to crist I'm saved now.i regret them vary mutch I even have a tat of Virgin Mary on my neck. But wen we pass as a cristian I believe we get a new body. God bless u.
I am thankful i never got a tattoo. I almost got a tattoo: Only God can judge me. Before i was saved. But today that i am born again. My mind is far far away from the world of tattoos.
I am 60 and got my only tattoo last month after 9 months of praying and investigating the issue. It is a simple cross on my arm, two quarter inch wide stipes. I wanted a mark I could never deny for my Lord. I am convinced He led me to do it. I agree one must be convinced in their own mind.
Can I ask you a genuine question that I have wondered about? Why would God want us to tattoo toxic poisons on our body? Did you also know as soon as you get the tattoo your body fights to remove it? This is why they fade.
Even though we are not under the law. The same law that said “do not covet”, also says “do not get tattoos” .Coveting is still a sin, why not tattooing? Its for our own protection. The law only informed us of sin, like Paul said. By saying we have no law, then there is no more sin and how will God judge the world?
DOULOS it doesn’t matter who He waa speaking to. It’s what He said. Its not just that verse. I cannot fathom how someone would be so critical of something that God said (his law). Its like people will grab at any verse to eat bacon or work on sabbath. The whole law is set in place for our protection. It is the Rock that Jesus talked about building your life on. Jesus was the Word and the Word became flesh. Jesus said moses wrote about Him. So believing in Jesus, means also to believe in His word, but you are rejecting His word , by rejecting His instruction. Again, not your fault. You were taught that way. I also only came to see this info after in depth study. You’re judging me for doing what God and Jesus said... you are teaching people to break the law. Be weary. “Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:19 NKJV bible.com/114/mat.5.19.nkjv
DOULOS in revelation it talks about the church keeping the commandments of God. Jesus said, if you love me You will keep My commandments. Jesus doesn’t disagree with God and Jesus was there when the law was given. Go look at every sin mentioned in the new testament. It comes from the law. Even uncleanness is listed... uncleanness is never redefined in the new testament. Plus, Jesus said there will be a Sabbath in the last days.
DOULOS Was the new testament written in english or greek? Looking at the greek, you can see the context more clearly. I look at the greek, because the english translation has contradictions.
DOULOS you also mentioned there “all scripture”...what scripture did they refer to there? The new testament they were busy writing or the old testament?
Jesus was our perfect example of a perfect man in the old testament it said have no cuttings in your flesh no tattoos on your skin I am the Lord it was God himself that said do not have tattoos so we know that Jesus did not have any tattoos Jesus was sent to uphold the law and to magnify the law not do away with It I hope this helps this is the correct teaching on how God feels about us as Christians getting a tattoo I want to encourage you be not conformed to the things of this world tattoos God said our bodies are the Temple of the holy Spirit he said we are bought with a price we are not our own be holy for I am holy present your bodies as a living sacrifice
Here’s the facts. If you have looked or heard of someone with a tattoo and have judged them then you already committed a sin, only God will judge. There are priests, pastors who even have tattoos. In the Book of Leviticus chapter 19 don’t mark your body, don’t cut up your body. This is talking about a certain marking on ones body that gives ones self an identity typically in terms of tribal identity or like for the dead or something in that sense. Jews were instructed not to do that, our identity is the people in God. If your tattoos mean that you are concentrating yourself to something other then God then yes it is a sin. If they are for the dead, then yes it is a sin and don’t do that. If they don’t mean that, they are fine to get. Also if you think that way back when people were getting tattoos when the Bible was written then you are wrongly mistaken, but even so there are different interpretations to not marking your bodies or piercing your flesh cause technically Overeating and getting stretch marks on your body from fat would be pertaining to the same thing. If you think for one second that our eternal loving father is going to keep you away from him because of ink in your skin then you are also wrongly mistaken, Jesus died on the cross for us, for our salvation. Rev 5:5 Jesus overcame sin and gained authority of man to loosen the 7 seals. A tattoo will NEVER step in the way of that. What you do on this Earth are blessings of God, what you do in your body should be for the Glory of God, truth is we all fall short of that, and yes if we truly repent and ask for God he will come into our lives and help us and guide us, he does not pressure you but he encourages you. My recommendation for a tattoo is something that can give God honor if you will, or something that can lead someone else closer to God or even yourself but always pray and talk to God for answers, he’s the one in power, some of Gods followers are very judgmental and hypocritical because they sin in many other ways as well. God loves you, there is not 1 sin he can’t forgive, the Lords sacrifice was too great for us that nothing shall even come near it, nothing can break it, nothing. Personally I don’t believe getting a tattoo is a sin in the slightest. My interpretation of it is your body was given to you by God as a blessing just like food that we over eat with, sugars, starches, fats that we like to enjoy ourselves with, our skin overtime ages and gets wrinkly and old, there’s diseases, conditions that also effect the outside of our body’s appearance as well. Lastly, The Bible is very Holy, it is Gods love letter to us. If we want to get to know God we should read his words for in them we have strength and Gods words will never wither away. That being said there are many examples in the Bible of how God used other peoples stories to prove points and set the boundary for all mankind and show that if one suffered through something we all can. Also to Glorify himself and set the example of the right ways to live and to be just like Jesus would want us to be. Stubbornness, jealousy, judgement, no faith or a lack of faith, etc, and then living examples in the Bible of how God restored his people and had drawn them away from these sins. There is not one thing in the Bible that talks about someone getting ink in their skin that’s permanent. The Bible does not talk about it in this way. I don’t think it is a sin, I am getting my second tattoo soon, the first was of the Lion of Judah from the Bible. Don’t pass judgement, what is going to save you is your relationship with God, and your faith in him and his works. If you turn from sin is a test of love, we are put through many trials but when we fail, God doesn’t yell at us, he encourages us to get back up, brushes us off, and with great patience waits for us to do it right the next time. No tattoo is going to get in the way of that we have sinned many times in our lives, why are people comparing what they think is 1 sin to the many they have committed. God hates hypocrisy.
Can I ask you a genuine question that I have wondered about? Why would God want us to tattoo toxic poisons on our body? Did you also know as soon as you get the tattoo your body fights to remove it? This is why they fade.
That's like saying if God wanted a piece of Canvas to have an art piece on it. It would have had an art piece. Or if God wanted a rock to be a Venus de Milo statue, he would have just made Venus de Milo statues from the get go.
@@joshuaokoro-sokoh2993 I don’t see the correlation. This is your body you’re talking about, the temporary tent that God chose to house you in by His specific design. “For you created my inmost being you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well” Psalm 139 Now I say all that, but I certainly don’t believe a persons salvation depends on it and that’s the only thing we should be concerned about, especially in this hour. 😁👍🏻✝️🎺🎺🎺🎺
I guess it's just his opinion on it, that make good reasons to avoid them, but he's trying to keep an open mind to possible "good" reasons to get tattoos although they may be rare.
Looking forward to the follow-up on, 6 reasons not to get tattoos. I wonder if one will be, because tattooing permanently pollutes the body, even their removal scars the body. Also, is it true that God alone reserves the right to mark or scar a persons body. Is there anything in his Word where he condones the permanent marking of the body? There is a world of difference between temporary lipstick and permanent tattoo -- not even in the same category. Did Jesus get tattoos? If he keep the law perfectly, and did not sin, clearly he did not get a tatoo. Are we to imitate Christ? I think so!
To be clear. There are law's and there are commands. GOD said keep and obey my commandments. He did NOT say keep and obey my law's. GOD wrote the ten commandments!! Man wrote and added the law's. Thou shalt not covet is NOT a law it IS A COMMAND! As far as being released from the law. JESUS said i have not come to do away with the law i have come to fulfill! It. Thus releasing us from the OLD law's and covenant. The commandments however still and ALWAYS will stand!! THE TEN COMMANDMENTS AND THE NEW COVENANT ARE WHAT WE ARE TO ADHERE TO!! At least that's what SO MANY preach and teach in church these day's and have from my experience through life thus far! All we can do is keep the TEN COMMANDMENTS and live as best we can to reflect JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR!!
I'd encourage you to look up the Bible Project's podcast on the Old Testament law. They do a great job of explaining it. I'm not really sure that there's much of a difference between command and law besides word choice. The law back then was just part of the whole narrative story in the Bible. I do follow your reasoning though. Cheers brother
It is interesting how often I find my own personal preferences on these things seem to sort of, in one way or another, align with the Bible. I have never ever been interested in getting a tattoo just because it frankly seemed kind of dumb or pointless to me. I appreciate this video explaining that the act is not the issue, but the motive. That being said, I simply have never had an interest in the act.
God was obviously talking metaforiclyGod the father is a spirit those that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truthGod the father has no robe of flesh like us Jesus was sent to uphold the law he had a robe of flesh as we doand the Lord said have no cuttings in your flesh no tattoos on your skin I am the Lord God himself put out that law Jesus was sent to uphold the lawso we know he had no cuttings in his flesh no tattoos in his skin that's the correct teaching on how God feels about Christians having a tattoo
How is it that something that the bible reads not to do, such as getting a tattoo, is okay to do depending upon circumstances? However, what people refer to as "shacking", in which the bible never explicitly mentions, is just all out wrong? Someone give me some help on that.
I do not believe that there is a gray area anywhere in the Bible. There is right and there is wrong. If you do not understand the applications talked about in Leviticus 19 then just don't do it don't get a tattoo until you do understand because there is a right and a wrong. Spend some time reading 1st Corinthians 10:23 and how the principles God applied to his people in Leviticus And how they still apply in in a sense today .
God is my fortress VerHalen If we continue reading 1Cor 10 we clearly see that there are gray areas as in different ways we should apply our wisdom under different circumstances. Also in 1Cor 9 Paul talks about being all things to all people so that he may win souls. That indicates that christian liberty is to advance the gospel. We Christians in Christ are set free from the law yet for the sake of those who are weak in conscious and for the sake of witness we forsake our freedoms to do certain things.
The same for the phrase “the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking”... does that mean we can drink blood (as an extreme example), no, there are still things we cant eat or drink, like eating unclean animals or drink blood. This is not what they meant.
All the commentaries that are against tattoos are just dramas or exagerations like : I know somebody who tattoos himself and he also sins with this and sins with that. Well i know people from the church that dress in modesty and still sin in various ways; that doesn't mean that beeing modest is a bad thing; just because other people that are modest are also doing some bad things in the same time. Exactly the same with tattoos; if somebody that is tattooed does some bad things in the same time, that doesnt mean that the tattoos are bad. We establish if a thing is good or bad by the Scripture, not by our legalist narrowed minds or other people experience. So if u want to give ur opinnion about tattoos beeing bad or good, use the scripture and interpret it in context; otherwise, it s just ur opinnion on the subject, not god's word. People are using false arguments like: ,,your body is a temple, dont mark it up.'' Well, the context there is about fornication, not about tattoos. U cant just take one verse out of context. The same people that are against tattos, most of them are as cam.etc commented bellow : ,,overeating, obesity, passively sitting in front of screens for entertainment, lack of exercise. If our bodies are temples, why is it sin to adorn mine and yet not a sin to abuse yours by neglecting it?'' Think about it
Can I ask you a genuine question that I have wondered about? Why would God want us to tattoo toxic poisons on our body? Did you also know as soon as you get the tattoo your body fights to remove it? This is why they fade.
I have many tattoos and regret getting them even though none are really bad just flowers etc i just really want to feel pure and not like a coloring book
Isolating Leviticus 19:27 with verse 19:28 is not the context of Leviticus 19! All of Leviticus 19 and the whole Bible is the context! The Ten Commandments are contained in Leviticus 19 and people’s vain attempt to remove verse 28 from the Word of God logically removes the Ten Commandments! Tattoos are graven images and sinful graffiti on the temple of the Holy Spirit! “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You ARE NOT YOUR OWN; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies!” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 In context Leviticus 19 says in part: “The Lord said to Moses, 2 Speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them: BE HOLY BECAUSE I, THE LORD YOUR GOD, AM HOLY! 3 Each of you must respect your mother and father, and you must observe my Sabbaths. 4 Do not turn to idols or make metal gods for yourselves. 11 Do not steal. Do not lie. 12 Do not swear falsely by my name and so profane the name of your God. 16 Do not go about spreading slander among your people! 20 If a man sleeps with a female slave who is promised to another man but who has not been ransomed or given her freedom, there must be due punishment! 28 Do not PUT TATTOO MARKS ON YOURSELVES. I am the Lord!” Leviticus 19 “For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law. Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of GENTILES too, since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith. Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? NOT AT ALL! Rather, WE UPHOLD THE LAW!” Romans 3:28-31 The Apostle Peter quotes Leviticus 19 so Leviticus 19 still applies: “But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.!” 1 Peter 1:15 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God-this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will!” Romans 12:1-2 “Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness!” 1 John 3:4 It is sinful stewardship of God’s money for a Christian to fund the demonic tattoo industry which spreads anti-Christian art! It is a sin for a Christian, who God calls to be set apart from the world, to get any kind of tattoo! See 2 Timothy 4:3!

If you say no tattoos but shave your side burns or wear multiple clothing types, you are a hypocrite. Plain and simple, people pick and choose what they like of agree with. The truth is why are you getting it? And of what are you getting? Anything else is vain. I have multiple tattoos, and yet I love and serve the lord with all my heart and soul.

@@ShepherdMinistry may I ask you another genuine question that I wondered about? Why would God want us to eat poisonous fast food? Did you know as soon as you eat a burger your body fights it? This is why we poop it out quickly. There’s a lot you and I do that God doesn’t approve of. That’s between you and the lord. Again, Tattoos aren’t bad. It’s the reasoning behind it and what you’re getting. Stop wondering bud
@@blksheepramirez I don’t think God would want you to eat poisonous fast food. God wants us to eat healthy. The problem is when we intentionally eat things that are bad for us. Good also is a little different since it’s needed to survive, a tattoo isn’t.
Read the KJV the word tattoo did not even enter the English language until the early 1700's. Remember this is one mans opinion, everything that you do needs to glorify god and it is a result of the heart.
So can a woman not braid her hair or wear jewelry at all? Or is that to Express the evil of using those things to draw attention and pride and person hood by using those things?
Here’s a seventh reason, If we are to walk in the Spirit in newness of life and the scripture says that those who are led by the Spirit are children of God, I ask you, Did the Holy Spirit lead you to put tattoos on your body? This is a serious question! Here is an eighth reason, when God made man He said “It is very good!” So you oh man want to improve the way the Eternal God made you! You want to show contempt for Gods handiwork? By putting graffiti on your body! Gods Spirit would never tell you to do that! It’s understandable an unbeliever having tattoos. That’s what sinners do, they sin! But to be a so called believer and then put tattoos on your body, how can you say you love God if you show contempt for His handiwork? You lack an understanding of who God is!
I dont know if watching attack on titan is a sin cause it isnt real violence its a anime they are not real people so i told god i dont know if its a sin or not and i told him im going to watch the final season of it so now i feel i must watch it cause i told him i will but i told him i most likely will stop watching it after i finish the last season just to be safe and make sure i dont sin is it okay that i watch the last season someone answer me please
Romans 3:31, “do we then make void the law through faith? On the contrary, we establish the law.” Paul didnt specify what in the law, so everything. He didn’t say moral law.
DOULOS its also important to note that the greek word koinos there is not the same one used to describe unclean foods listed in Leviticus. Akathartos is used when referring to those unclean. Otherwise Paul would have contradicted Jesus.
DOULOS i know that verse off by heart right now. The point is, there are explanations for everything as you have seen so far. Even when Jesus talked about the end times, He said pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the sabbath, so He expected there to be a sabbath. Looking at this verse in the light of all the others, it could have been that he was saying they dont need to do it like the jews. I dont know exactly. All im saying is, Jesus expected a sabbath. The food there is also not mentioned to be clean or unclean, but merely food. I believe that Jesus’ words stand and anything interpreted otherwise needs to be re-interpreted. I follow Jesus, not what i think Paul meant.
DOULOS go read through that whole section to where that word is used... its a typical word for common, its even used when peter mentions our common faith. Its even used when Jesus talks about the unclean hands. When peter received the vision, this is the word for common, when he said common or unclean. Nowhere is it actually used to describe levitically unclean animals. The definition in strongs only added that for some unknown reason. They had no scriptural reason to do that.
DOULOS plainly just reading the english and basing your salvation on it is not good. Im not saying its your fault, but mainly the people that tought us these things. Its waaaay more complicated than that. When i saw the first error in english translation i started going through them one by one, so i know all these verses. Ive studies them all, they are exactly what kept me stuck. I beg you to reconsider and just dig a bit deeper. The answers are there.
JOYCE MEYER INTENTIONALLY MISREPRESENTS THE BIBLE AND IS A FALSE TEACHER. HERE IS THE TRUTH: The reason for interpreting Isaiah 44:5 as symbolic rather than literal is primarily due to the broader context of the passage and the nature of prophetic language. In this passage, the emphasis is on the spiritual commitment of individuals to the Lord. The act of "writing on their hand, 'The Lord's'" is a metaphorical expression of this commitment. It's unlikely that it refers to actual tattooing or inscribing the name of the Lord on one's hand in a literal sense. Prophetic and poetic language often employs symbolism and metaphors to convey deeper spiritual truths and concepts. Additionally, there is no specific historical or archaeological evidence to suggest that Israelites practiced literal tattooing of the name of the Lord on their hands. While the exact interpretation may vary among scholars and theologians, the prevailing understanding is that Isaiah 44:5 is a symbolic expression of devotion rather than a literal practice of inscribing the name of the Lord on one's hand.

"10 For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.” 11 Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.”[d] 12 But the law is not of faith, rather “The one who does them shall live by them.” Gal 3: 10-12 Sp if you think by keeping the 10 commandments you are righteous you are clearly wrong. The commands of God are good but they are NOT how you are made righteous.

@@ShepherdMinistry Did you know that when you receive a polio vaccine, your body instantly fights to remove it yet in the long run it prevents you from contracting polio? When you scratch an itch, it activates pain receptors which release endorphins (bodily pain is negative and should be avoided, does that mean it's sinful to scratch an itch?) The "your body fights to remove it at first" is not a rational argument for why it's inherently sinful. I don't care for tattoos at all and personally think they're sort of corny, but I can understand why some people love, appreciate and get them and there is simply no biblical or logical basis for it being a sin (as long as the tattoo itself is not displaying anything vulgar or blasphemous). There are far too many people (particularly western Christians) who believe that their personal distaste for something automatically equals it being sinful before God Himself, and they'll use scripture in the most vague and out of context way to try to prove it (such as Leviticus). If you don't like tattoos, you don't have to get them. Everyone has different personalities and interests, and believe it or not that's perfectly okay even within the body of Christ. We don't all have to be identical clones of each other.
@@CJ-lr4uq you didn’t respond to my comment about them being toxic chemicals you’re putting on your body? Why would God want the Holy Temple to have toxins intentionally placed on it ?
@@ShepherdMinistry I did respond using two analogies. I just posted a substantial comment and your response is almost as if you didn't even read it. Do you know how many toxins *you* put in your body every day? My friend, everything you eat has toxins in it. The air you're breathing, if you're living in the 21st century, has toxins in it. Why are you intentionally putting those toxins in your body? Would it be ridiculous for me to tell you you're sinning by doing so? Most likely. On a another note, having a tattoo does nothing to negatively impact your health, either in the short term or in the long run. The worst that can happen is it may become infected and scabby for a week before it heals up. The same thing could happen if you cut your hand while moving lumber. Is moving lumber a sin now, because you might get bacteria or toxins in your body? It's clear, with all due respect sir that you just have a personal distaste for tattoos, and you have a problem with the idea that just because you don't like something, doesn't mean God exactly feels the same way. I'm sorry, but you're unfounded on this. You can continue to believe that tattoos are a sin if that makes you feel better than those who have tattoos, or whatever your reasoning is. That's your business. But I'll let you know that people with your attitude do more to annoy people than you do to be exemplary for Christ.

Tattoos are nasty! Just draw on paper and frame what you drew. The difference between Christians and the world is that we are children of God and the world is full sin and temptation. Adhering to the word of God is what makes us different from all others in the world do not write on yourself for these are things of the world and we are not of the world we are of God.
The decision to tattoo oneself and the reason and motives should be a discussion and ultimately a decision made between the individual and God....NO ONE ELSE!!!!! It is NOT your place as a minister to persuade anyone against it as you are NOT privy to what God is telling that's person and how arrogant of you to think you can talk for God.

JamieW847 W that was because the priests wore those fabrics. Its like not impersonating a police officer.
This is so good, I needed to hear this!
if you got your tattoos BEFORE you were saved, that's one thing. If you get them AFTER you're saved, I'm sure it won't keep you out of heaven, but I still wouldn't wanna be the one to explain to Jesus why I ruined my body AFTER I got saved!
I got evil clowns skulls dum things I got wen I was young.if turnd my live to crist I'm saved now.i regret them vary mutch I even have a tat of Virgin Mary on my neck. But wen we pass as a cristian I believe we get a new body. God bless u.
I am thankful i never got a tattoo. I almost got a tattoo: Only God can judge me. Before i was saved. But today that i am born again. My mind is far far away from the world of tattoos.
I am 60 and got my only tattoo last month after 9 months of praying and investigating the issue. It is a simple cross on my arm, two quarter inch wide stipes. I wanted a mark I could never deny for my Lord. I am convinced He led me to do it. I agree one must be convinced in their own mind.
Some people say they are convinced to be lead by God to a same sex marriage. Doesnt mean much
Can I ask you a genuine question that I have wondered about? Why would God want us to tattoo toxic poisons on our body? Did you also know as soon as you get the tattoo your body fights to remove it? This is why they fade.
Even though we are not under the law. The same law that said “do not covet”, also says “do not get tattoos” .Coveting is still a sin, why not tattooing? Its for our own protection. The law only informed us of sin, like Paul said. By saying we have no law, then there is no more sin and how will God judge the world?
DOULOS it doesn’t matter who He waa speaking to. It’s what He said. Its not just that verse. I cannot fathom how someone would be so critical of something that God said (his law). Its like people will grab at any verse to eat bacon or work on sabbath. The whole law is set in place for our protection. It is the Rock that Jesus talked about building your life on.
Jesus was the Word and the Word became flesh. Jesus said moses wrote about Him. So believing in Jesus, means also to believe in His word, but you are rejecting His word , by rejecting His instruction. Again, not your fault. You were taught that way. I also only came to see this info after in depth study. You’re judging me for doing what God and Jesus said... you are teaching people to break the law. Be weary.
“Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”
Matthew 5:19 NKJV
bible.com/114/mat.5.19.nkjv
DOULOS in revelation it talks about the church keeping the commandments of God. Jesus said, if you love me You will keep My commandments. Jesus doesn’t disagree with God and Jesus was there when the law was given. Go look at every sin mentioned in the new testament. It comes from the law. Even uncleanness is listed... uncleanness is never redefined in the new testament. Plus, Jesus said there will be a Sabbath in the last days.
DOULOS Was the new testament written in english or greek? Looking at the greek, you can see the context more clearly. I look at the greek, because the english translation has contradictions.
DOULOS you also mentioned there “all scripture”...what scripture did they refer to there? The new testament they were busy writing or the old testament?
DOULOS John 1 says so yes, so why ask that question?
He knows and explains the Bible so well.
Jesus was our perfect example of a perfect man in the old testament it said have no cuttings in your flesh no tattoos on your skin I am the Lord it was God himself that said do not have tattoos so we know that Jesus did not have any tattoos Jesus was sent to uphold the law and to magnify the law not do away with It I hope this helps this is the correct teaching on how God feels about us as Christians getting a tattoo I want to encourage you be not conformed to the things of this world tattoos God said our bodies are the Temple of the holy Spirit he said we are bought with a price we are not our own be holy for I am holy present your bodies as a living sacrifice
Here’s the facts. If you have looked or heard of someone with a tattoo and have judged them then you already committed a sin, only God will judge. There are priests, pastors who even have tattoos.
In the Book of Leviticus chapter 19 don’t mark your body, don’t cut up your body.
This is talking about a certain marking on ones body that gives ones self an identity typically
in terms of tribal identity or like for the dead or something in that sense. Jews were instructed not to do that, our identity is the people in God.
If your tattoos mean that you are concentrating yourself to something other then God then yes it is a sin. If they are for the dead, then yes it is a sin and don’t do that. If they don’t mean that, they are fine to get.
Also if you think that way back when people were getting tattoos when the Bible was written then you are wrongly mistaken, but even so there are different interpretations to not marking your bodies or piercing your flesh cause technically Overeating and getting stretch marks on your body from fat would be pertaining to the same thing.
If you think for one second that our eternal loving father is going to keep you away from him because of ink in your skin then you are also wrongly mistaken, Jesus died on the cross for us, for our salvation. Rev 5:5 Jesus overcame sin and gained authority of man to loosen the 7 seals. A tattoo will NEVER step in the way of that. What you do on this Earth are blessings of God, what you do in your body should be for the Glory of God, truth is we all fall short of that, and yes if we truly repent and ask for God he will come into our lives and help us and guide us, he does not pressure you but he encourages you. My recommendation for a tattoo is something that can give God honor if you will, or something that can lead someone else closer to God or even yourself but always pray and talk to God for answers, he’s the one in power, some of Gods followers are very judgmental and hypocritical because they sin in many other ways as well.
God loves you, there is not 1 sin he can’t forgive, the Lords sacrifice was too great for us that nothing shall even come near it, nothing can break it, nothing.
Personally I don’t believe getting a tattoo is a sin in the slightest. My interpretation of it is your body was given to you by God as a blessing just like food that we over eat with, sugars, starches, fats that we like to enjoy ourselves with, our skin overtime ages and gets wrinkly and old, there’s diseases, conditions that also effect the outside of our body’s appearance as well.
Lastly, The Bible is very Holy, it is Gods love letter to us. If we want to get to know God we should read his words for in them we have strength and Gods words will never wither away. That being said there are many examples in the Bible of how God used other peoples stories to prove points and set the boundary for all mankind and show that if one suffered through something we all can. Also to Glorify himself and set the example of the right ways to live and to be just like Jesus would want us to be. Stubbornness, jealousy, judgement, no faith or a lack of faith, etc, and then living examples in the Bible of how God restored his people and had drawn them away from these sins. There is not one thing in the Bible that talks about someone getting ink in their skin that’s permanent. The Bible does not talk about it in this way.
I don’t think it is a sin, I am getting my second tattoo soon, the first was of the Lion of Judah from the Bible.
Don’t pass judgement, what is going to save you is your relationship with God, and your faith in him and his works. If you turn from sin is a test of love, we are put through many trials but when we fail, God doesn’t yell at us, he encourages us to get back up, brushes us off, and with great patience waits for us to do it right the next time. No tattoo is going to get in the way of that we have sinned many times in our lives, why are people comparing what they think is 1 sin to the many they have committed. God hates hypocrisy.
Can I ask you a genuine question that I have wondered about? Why would God want us to tattoo toxic poisons on our body? Did you also know as soon as you get the tattoo your body fights to remove it? This is why they fade.
We’re not under Mosaic Law and remember to glorify God in all you do.
Mom used to say if God wanted you to have tattoos you would have been born with them!!!
That's like saying if God wanted a piece of Canvas to have an art piece on it. It would have had an art piece.
Or if God wanted a rock to be a Venus de Milo statue, he would have just made Venus de Milo statues from the get go.
@@joshuaokoro-sokoh2993 I don’t see the correlation. This is your body you’re talking about, the temporary tent that God chose to house you in by His specific design. “For you created my inmost being you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well” Psalm 139 Now I say all that, but I certainly don’t believe a persons salvation depends on it and that’s the only thing we should be concerned about, especially in this hour. 😁👍🏻✝️🎺🎺🎺🎺

I guess it's just his opinion on it, that make good reasons to avoid them, but he's trying to keep an open mind to possible "good" reasons to get tattoos although they may be rare.
They say in this video that that is tomorrows subject
Looking forward to the follow-up on, 6 reasons not to get tattoos.
I wonder if one will be, because tattooing permanently pollutes the body, even their removal scars the body.
Also, is it true that God alone reserves the right to mark or scar a persons body. Is there anything in his Word where he condones the permanent marking of the body?
There is a world of difference between temporary lipstick and permanent tattoo -- not even in the same category.
Did Jesus get tattoos? If he keep the law perfectly, and did not sin, clearly he did not get a tatoo. Are we to imitate Christ? I think so!
I like the way you explain this. Clean and simple.
Jesus actually did get a tattoo, or will depending on ones eschatology: Rev 19:16
jesus has 2 of them
Jesus is coming soon, get saved, repent, and follow God’s will!
Well at the end it’s your choice. As a Christian you know the truth. As a non believer the new will get old.
To be clear. There are law's and there are commands. GOD said keep and obey my commandments. He did NOT say keep and obey my law's. GOD wrote the ten commandments!! Man wrote and added the law's. Thou shalt not covet is NOT a law it IS A COMMAND! As far as being released from the law. JESUS said i have not come to do away with the law i have come to fulfill! It. Thus releasing us from the OLD law's and covenant. The commandments however still and ALWAYS will stand!! THE TEN COMMANDMENTS AND THE NEW COVENANT ARE WHAT WE ARE TO ADHERE TO!! At least that's what SO MANY preach and teach in church these day's and have from my experience through life thus far! All we can do is keep the TEN COMMANDMENTS and live as best we can to reflect JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR!!
I'd encourage you to look up the Bible Project's podcast on the Old Testament law. They do a great job of explaining it. I'm not really sure that there's much of a difference between command and law besides word choice. The law back then was just part of the whole narrative story in the Bible. I do follow your reasoning though. Cheers brother
It is interesting how often I find my own personal preferences on these things seem to sort of, in one way or another, align with the Bible.
I have never ever been interested in getting a tattoo just because it frankly seemed kind of dumb or pointless to me.
I appreciate this video explaining that the act is not the issue, but the motive.
That being said, I simply have never had an interest in the act.
It says in scripture that God has his name written on our hands and in Isaiah 55:4 it talks about people who got the Lords written on their hands
God was obviously talking metaforiclyGod the father is a spirit those that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truthGod the father has no robe of flesh like us Jesus was sent to uphold the law he had a robe of flesh as we doand the Lord said have no cuttings in your flesh no tattoos on your skin I am the Lord God himself put out that law Jesus was sent to uphold the lawso we know he had no cuttings in his flesh no tattoos in his skin that's the correct teaching on how God feels about Christians having a tattoo
The Bible also says do not fornicate before marriage. How many ppl kept their clothes on until marriage? I rest my case.
oow many ppl do a thing is no measure of right/wrong. There were many people involved in Nazi Germany - are they right because if their numbers?
How is it that something that the bible reads not to do, such as getting a tattoo, is okay to do depending upon circumstances? However, what people refer to as "shacking", in which the bible never explicitly mentions, is just all out wrong? Someone give me some help on that.
I do not believe that there is a gray area anywhere in the Bible. There is right and there is wrong. If you do not understand the applications talked about in Leviticus 19 then just don't do it don't get a tattoo until you do understand because there is a right and a wrong. Spend some time reading 1st Corinthians 10:23 and how the principles God applied to his people in Leviticus And how they still apply in in a sense today .
God is my fortress VerHalen If we continue reading 1Cor 10 we clearly see that there are gray areas as in different ways we should apply our wisdom under different circumstances. Also in 1Cor 9 Paul talks about being all things to all people so that he may win souls. That indicates that christian liberty is to advance the gospel. We Christians in Christ are set free from the law yet for the sake of those who are weak in conscious and for the sake of witness we forsake our freedoms to do certain things.
So the mosaic law that Jesus broke, still applies?
The same for the phrase “the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking”... does that mean we can drink blood (as an extreme example), no, there are still things we cant eat or drink, like eating unclean animals or drink blood. This is not what they meant.
the ten commandments are Not Moses Law,They were before sinai
All the commentaries that are against tattoos are just dramas or exagerations like : I know somebody who tattoos himself and he also sins with this and sins with that. Well i know people from the church that dress in modesty and still sin in various ways; that doesn't mean that beeing modest is a bad thing; just because other people that are modest are also doing some bad things in the same time. Exactly the same with tattoos; if somebody that is tattooed does some bad things in the same time, that doesnt mean that the tattoos are bad. We establish if a thing is good or bad by the Scripture, not by our legalist narrowed minds or other people experience. So if u want to give ur opinnion about tattoos beeing bad or good, use the scripture and interpret it in context; otherwise, it s just ur opinnion on the subject, not god's word.
People are using false arguments like: ,,your body is a temple, dont mark it up.'' Well, the context there is about fornication, not about tattoos. U cant just take one verse out of context. The same people that are against tattos, most of them are as cam.etc commented bellow : ,,overeating, obesity, passively sitting in front of screens for entertainment, lack of exercise. If our bodies are temples, why is it sin to adorn mine and yet not a sin to abuse yours by neglecting it?'' Think about it
Can I ask you a genuine question that I have wondered about? Why would God want us to tattoo toxic poisons on our body? Did you also know as soon as you get the tattoo your body fights to remove it? This is why they fade.
I have many tattoos and regret getting them even though none are really bad just flowers etc i just really want to feel pure and not like a coloring book
Isolating Leviticus 19:27 with verse 19:28 is not the context of Leviticus 19! All of Leviticus 19 and the whole Bible is the context! The Ten Commandments are contained in Leviticus 19 and people’s vain attempt to remove verse 28 from the Word of God logically removes the Ten Commandments! Tattoos are graven images and sinful graffiti on the temple of the Holy Spirit!
“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You ARE NOT YOUR OWN; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies!”
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
In context Leviticus 19 says in part:
“The Lord said to Moses, 2 Speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them: BE HOLY BECAUSE I, THE LORD YOUR GOD, AM HOLY! 3 Each of you must respect your mother and father, and you must observe my Sabbaths. 4 Do not turn to idols or make metal gods for yourselves. 11 Do not steal. Do not lie. 12 Do not swear falsely by my name and so profane the name of your God. 16 Do not go about spreading slander among your people! 20 If a man sleeps with a female slave who is promised to another man but who has not been ransomed or given her freedom, there must be due punishment! 28 Do not PUT TATTOO MARKS ON YOURSELVES. I am the Lord!” Leviticus 19
“For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law. Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of GENTILES too, since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith. Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? NOT AT ALL! Rather, WE UPHOLD THE LAW!” Romans 3:28-31
The Apostle Peter quotes Leviticus 19 so Leviticus 19 still applies:
“But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.!”
1 Peter 1:15
“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God-this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will!”
Romans 12:1-2
“Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness!”
1 John 3:4
It is sinful stewardship of God’s money for a Christian to fund the demonic tattoo industry which spreads anti-Christian art! It is a sin for a Christian, who God calls to be set apart from the world, to get any kind of tattoo!
See 2 Timothy 4:3!

Here’s a seventh reason, If we are to walk in the Spirit in newness of life and the scripture says that those who are led by the Spirit are children of God, I ask you, Did the Holy Spirit lead you to put tattoos on your body? This is a serious question! Here is an eighth reason, when God made man He said “It is very good!” So you oh man want to improve the way the Eternal God made you! You want to show contempt for Gods handiwork? By putting graffiti on your body! Gods Spirit would never tell you to do that! It’s understandable an unbeliever having tattoos. That’s what sinners do, they sin! But to be a so called believer and then put tattoos on your body, how can you say you love God if you show contempt for His handiwork? You lack an understanding of who God is!

wheres all my levitical priest at???
Romans 3:31, “do we then make void the law through faith? On the contrary, we establish the law.” Paul didnt specify what in the law, so everything. He didn’t say moral law.
DOULOS its also important to note that the greek word koinos there is not the same one used to describe unclean foods listed in Leviticus. Akathartos is used when referring to those unclean. Otherwise Paul would have contradicted Jesus.
DOULOS i know that verse off by heart right now. The point is, there are explanations for everything as you have seen so far. Even when Jesus talked about the end times, He said pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the sabbath, so He expected there to be a sabbath. Looking at this verse in the light of all the others, it could have been that he was saying they dont need to do it like the jews. I dont know exactly. All im saying is, Jesus expected a sabbath. The food there is also not mentioned to be clean or unclean, but merely food.
I believe that Jesus’ words stand and anything interpreted otherwise needs to be re-interpreted. I follow Jesus, not what i think Paul meant.
DOULOS go read through that whole section to where that word is used... its a typical word for common, its even used when peter mentions our common faith. Its even used when Jesus talks about the unclean hands. When peter received the vision, this is the word for common, when he said common or unclean. Nowhere is it actually used to describe levitically unclean animals. The definition in strongs only added that for some unknown reason. They had no scriptural reason to do that.
DOULOS plainly just reading the english and basing your salvation on it is not good. Im not saying its your fault, but mainly the people that tought us these things. Its waaaay more complicated than that. When i saw the first error in english translation i started going through them one by one, so i know all these verses. Ive studies them all, they are exactly what kept me stuck. I beg you to reconsider and just dig a bit deeper. The answers are there.
DOULOS in that sentence it says God gave those people up to uncleanness... how do you not see that? It talks about unclean animals?
JOYCE MEYER INTENTIONALLY MISREPRESENTS THE BIBLE AND IS A FALSE TEACHER. HERE IS THE TRUTH:
The reason for interpreting Isaiah 44:5 as symbolic rather than literal is primarily due to the broader context of the passage and the nature of prophetic language. In this passage, the emphasis is on the spiritual commitment of individuals to the Lord. The act of "writing on their hand, 'The Lord's'" is a metaphorical expression of this commitment. It's unlikely that it refers to actual tattooing or inscribing the name of the Lord on one's hand in a literal sense.
Prophetic and poetic language often employs symbolism and metaphors to convey deeper spiritual truths and concepts. Additionally, there is no specific historical or archaeological evidence to suggest that Israelites practiced literal tattooing of the name of the Lord on their hands.
While the exact interpretation may vary among scholars and theologians, the prevailing understanding is that Isaiah 44:5 is a symbolic expression of devotion rather than a literal practice of inscribing the name of the Lord on one's hand.

"10 For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.” 11 Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.”[d] 12 But the law is not of faith, rather “The one who does them shall live by them.” Gal 3: 10-12 Sp if you think by keeping the 10 commandments you are righteous you are clearly wrong.

@@ShepherdMinistry Did you know that when you receive a polio vaccine, your body instantly fights to remove it yet in the long run it prevents you from contracting polio? When you scratch an itch, it activates pain receptors which release endorphins (bodily pain is negative and should be avoided, does that mean it's sinful to scratch an itch?) The "your body fights to remove it at first" is not a rational argument for why it's inherently sinful. I don't care for tattoos at all and personally think they're sort of corny, but I can understand why some people love, appreciate and get them and there is simply no biblical or logical basis for it being a sin (as long as the tattoo itself is not displaying anything vulgar or blasphemous). There are far too many people (particularly western Christians) who believe that their personal distaste for something automatically equals it being sinful before God Himself, and they'll use scripture in the most vague and out of context way to try to prove it (such as Leviticus). If you don't like tattoos, you don't have to get them. Everyone has different personalities and interests, and believe it or not that's perfectly okay even within the body of Christ. We don't all have to be identical clones of each other.

@@ShepherdMinistry I did respond using two analogies. I just posted a substantial comment and your response is almost as if you didn't even read it.

Why are you intentionally putting those toxins in your body? Would it be ridiculous for me to tell you you're sinning by doing so? Most likely. On a another note, having a tattoo does nothing to negatively impact your health, either in the short term or in the long run. The worst that can happen is it may become infected and scabby for a week before it heals up. The same thing could happen if you cut your hand while moving lumber. Is moving lumber a sin now, because you might get bacteria or toxins in your body? It's clear, with all due respect sir that you just have a personal distaste for tattoos, and you have a problem with the idea that just because you don't like something, doesn't mean God exactly feels the same way.

Adhering to the word of God is what makes us different from all others in the world do not write on yourself for these are things of the world and we are not of the world we are of God.
The decision to tattoo oneself and the reason and motives should be a discussion and ultimately a decision made between the individual and God....NO ONE ELSE!!!!! It is NOT your place as a minister to persuade anyone against it as you are NOT privy to what God is telling that's person and how arrogant of you to think you can talk for God.
