I don't know if tattoos are a sin. Scripture does not specifically mention tattoos or marking your body except for the dead as in mourning like the pagans do. But God throughout the Old Testament does mention that He doesn't want His children worshipping the gods of the pagans or following/accepting pagan customs. Tattoos are pagan customs. I hate to burst your bubble but... Leviticus 18:3 (NKJV) 3 According to the doings of the land of Egypt, where you dwelt, you shall not do; and according to the doings of the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you, you shall not do; nor shall you walk in their ordinances. That pretty much spells out do not get tattoos. If you already have, then maybe try to remove them if you can afford it. If you are clinging to them after being saved, why are you clinging on to them? I had thought about getting a tattoo when I was in the Marines, but I didn't. I'm very glad I didn't.
My take, and I know it's consistent with the word and way of the Lord is that our bodies is the temple of God. We must be careful NOT to desecrate the temple of God. Again, whatever we do must honor God. If someone had a tattoo in ignorance before coming to Christ, that's it. But as a Christian, you can't go get a tattoo!

I wonder if his views on tattoos have changed as he has matured in the faith. Firstly, he is correct in recognizing that people who quote Lev 19:28 as a reason for having tattoos is a sin are not properly interpreting the passage in its proper context. Secondly, it is very hypocritical and inconsistent to tell someone that having a tattoo is a sin, all the while wearing a dri-fit shirt or clothing made of two kinds of materials (Lev 19:19). With that being said, I believe for the children of God living under the new covenant that Jesus has ushered in through his blood (Jer 31:31-34; 1 Cor 11:17-34), the Old Testament (OT) restrictions do not apply. Jesus has fulfilled all the OT rules and requirements on behalf of humanity and has brought us out from under the law to the freedom of grace (Gal 3:23-28). Yet in this new covenant of grace, we are held to higher standard where we must live in love - of which we are commanded to lay down our lives for one another (John 15:13). Practically, that means we ought to honor one another above ourselves, not equally to ourselves (Rom 12:10), and we ought to consider the interest of others above our own (Phil 2:1-5). The preacher was right in instructing youth to talk with their parents before making the decision to get tattoos because it put the interest of parents above their own, and it honors the parents. However, the principle of honor and the interests of others is not regulated to children, youth, minors, or young people but to all people. In fact, especially as a leader within the church, greater care must be given to avoid stumbling the faith of others (Rom 14; 1 Cor 8)! Paul says about caring for the conscience of others: "Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak. 10 For if someone with a weak conscience sees you, with all your knowledge, eating in an idol’s temple, won’t that person be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols? 11 So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge. 12 When you sin against them in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. 13 Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause them to fall" (1 Cor 8:9-13). The principle here is that yes, you may have the freedom to certain privileges, however true love does not exercise the right to those privileges for the sake of others. That is why in the Assemblies of God, ministers make a commitment to abstain from alcohol. It is not a sin to drink alcohol (getting drunk is a sin), but ministers abstain from drinking for the conscience of others. How much more, should tattoos be abstained from if it stumbles others! May we, the church and family of Jesus, learn to lay down our rights and freedoms for the sake of others as Jesus did for us in dying innocently and vicariously for us. Amen.
Israel The exercise of Good judgement when become to Holiness is Become Rare in this times. And What you say is so on the point Here is something to add to the Thought. Measuring Devices are tools use to seek standards of application. The Law of Moses Shows how we can measure right from wrong . The Jews Heritage has brought moral framework to the Christianity and Jesus Lived By them and Follow them and By doing so, He was approved by The Father. Although No Jesus follower will be justified by the Law That doesn’t disapprove that The Law was a Good measuring tape. The day that Jesus Followers Walk away from The Moral Framework of Jesus’s compass his followers will become Lawless Followers with out directions. With out a tape to know right from Wrong.

Thank u!!! That I believe 100%. I have a tattoo but I wanted to hear it from my mother, my family and husband first. I discuss my reason for doing it, if they said yes, then ok. It not, then I won’t. A part of me wants to get a dove with a cross on my wrist as a motivational tattoo. My family said ok; but I’m still thinking
@@beeree5463 No, not yet. But after feeling conflicted about it for so long and feeling fear from people saying how sinful tattoos r, I asked god for a sign to help me. I’m not doubting anything in the Bible, nor am I saying people r wrong. But I don’t believe tattoos will send me to hell, in fact I believe that they stay with our mortal bodies and our soul arrives clean. But I told god that, even if I did get another tattoo, my love and faith in him will never ever change. I thanked him for everything he has done for me, (past and present) and I told him that I never want to loose him. I asked him for a sign that he’d always b with me, no matter wat I decided. And as soon as I said that a bluebird appeared on my bird feeder, (my first tattoo is also a bluebird). My heart grew so much bigger that day. Yea tattoos r not great; but if you love god and believe with all ur heart and soul, he’ll always be with u and love u forever. That’s wat I strongly believe.
People should speak to those involved in deliverance ministries to have greater understanding of what can (not will) arise when you have tattoos. This is not an argument about salvation but tattoos can open up one to horrific demonisation. Paul says all things are lawful but not all things edify.
So you go to your family and this person up here whose saying absolutely nothing and justifying tattoos and his stupid reason for showing his vs God. Very interesting 🤔 . We’ll carry on and see where that gets you when you stand before God.
@@Proverbspsalms are you going post to post shaming people…😂 keep it up 👍 you’re doing great work for the kingdom(if you’re even a Christian I can’t tell).

Very sad…I pray the Holy Spirit can touch your hearts. Judging other Christians or ANYONE doesn’t get you into heaven. If you’re angry about this post; This is about you.
I was not going to respond to your comments but I think you need to understand that the Scripture is very clear on this topic, my friend. First the verse that I referred to states, "Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment." This "pastor" will be judged more strictly because he has chosen to become a teacher. Why? He needs to know what the Scripture states and teach it as it states in the full context of other Scriptures. If a Scripture states that something is black or white then that is what it means. Leviticus 19:28 is clear, "You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD." Who made this statement? You? Keith Culver? Me? NO, "I am the LORD"! That's what it states. What happened between the Old Testament and the new? Jesus became the sacrificial lamb so we no longer have to make sacrifices of animal including a lamb to shed blood for our sins. Christ did that for us (John 1:29). Leviticus 19:28 has nothing to do with us making atonement for our sins just like the Ten Commandments has nothing to do with making atonement of our sins. What both Leviticus 19:28 and the Ten Commandments, for example have in common is that they point us to what is sinful in the eyes of the Lord God our Creator. Therefore we as Christians should not make have a tattoo added to our bodies. If we are made in the image of God then why would we want to mar our bodies with something NOT made in the image of God intentionally? (Genesis 1:27) Now, what about a person that already has tattoo's on them before coming into a personal born-again relationship with the Lord? They are not responsible for what they have done to themselves in the past just as a person that has prostituted themselves to another God or to people sexually. (1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.") Also, if a new Christian doesn't know what Leviticus 19:28 states and has a tattoo added to their body they to are also not responsible for what they don't know. We are responsible for what we DO KNOW and it is as clear as "the nose on your face" that Leviticus 19:28 states "You shall not ... make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD." You therefore ARE responsible for what you know and if you disobey that Scripture you will be responsible for that before the Lord.
@@sallydennison1266 leviticus is levitical law, if we was under levitical law we wouldn’t eat pork and males would grow there hair out in a seperation period. 😐 also if we are made in the image of God then dying hair,makeup,piercings all are changing the image
@@asaltyraiderfanboyderek4mv793 I see you are not well versed on what Christ's sacrifice on the cross removed from the Levitical Law as well as how the New Testament and Old Testament is tied together to become the Bible that we are to obey. Remember what John Chapter One states about Christ - The Word became flesh ... Also what Christ stated in response to Satan in the Matthew 4 - Christ's first response. When Christ made that statement what does Christ mean by "every word that proceeds from the mouth of God"? Is He not speaking at that time of Old Testament? Since my "Born Again" (John 3) experience at the age of 18 until today my study of the Words of God did not include reading what other men say about what the Word of God states. I have invested almost 50 years in reading Gods Word - not men's - and then have done what the Bereans did to the Apostle Paul to compare what men like Keith Culver state about the Word of God lining it up / comparing it to what Scripture has to say about the subject. Mr. Culver is making up a false doctrine and will be held accountable as a teacher - just as the Pharisee's and Sadducee's - for what he teaches and thus leading believers astray. For you, my friend, please do not depend on what others say about the Scripture! If you have the Holy Spirit - the Third part of the Trinity - in you then He will teach you all things over time as He has so graciously done for me and millions of others. --- Blessings!

Let me ask. Is a tattoo a desire of the spirit or of the flesh. Does it edify the temple of Christ (aka your body. Does this satisfy God, does it honor him, is it obedience to God, is it prioritizing The Lord? Though the old laws may no longer condemn us, they still apply. God is the same as yesterday, today, and for ever is he not? Does not the word say the our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit of God? Are we not to be a royal priesthood. Aren’t we supposed to seek The kingdom of God and his righteousness first. Are we not to follow in the steps of Christ and his Apostles being him the foundation, are we not to separate ourselves from the world and the traditions, did Jesus not rescue us to from the mud to be new creatures in him? Plainly speaking, the tattoo is not the sin, it’s the act of putting one’s desires first thus putting God second. He who wants to be my disciple Jesus said, deny yourself, pickup your cross and follow me.
My brother no where does the Bible say you may have tatoos,our bodies is still the temple of God ,and we must present it holy unto God.Remember blood are being spilled when you getting one,what are you sacrificing to.
So I was born in a Christian household and what not and I’m on the worship team but the thing that’s holding me back is if I get tattooed my parents said they would disown me and we’ll I’d be kick off the worship team two things that i love would be taken away from so I’m stuck and if I show this to them I’m sure they won’t change there mind so what should I do and mind u IM 23 😮

Revelation 19:16 New International Version On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: king of kings and lord of lords. Not I'm not here to argue but just following your logic according to this verse Jesus has a tattoo on his thigh so your logic doesn't follow... The truth is there is more than enough context to explain the one verse that folks use to condemn tattoos so unless you have another that is in context then you are simply creating your own bondage which is the opposite of what Christ came to do....
Don't mistake Holiness for legalism, we don't win God's approval by good deeds, the law isn't our ticket to heaven. We become Holy by Loving others just as God has loved us despite leading the sinful lives we lead, don't forget the pit God took you from, He placed us on pedestal to teach and brings others on that pedestal with us through love not judgment. If you don't want tattoos, I really don't understand why you need to watch this video or condemn others for thinking otherwise.

It is the skirting with the demonic that should bring caution. Many of those who administer tattoos, use needles prayed to entities, and are involved in New Age practices. Many visitors to these parlours are of the same.

Only thing I gotta say is we sin but we are not sinners that's the only lil thing I heard that I was like eehhh but it's ok because I know your heart is genuine and that is a common misconception. Just as we were made sinners by Adam's sin right? We were irrevocably sinners no matter how much good works we did right? Now by the same token through faith in the finished works of Jesus Christ we are fully justified and made righteous through Him. Amen love you my brothers and sisters keep sharing the truth Roman's 4:25 He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.
When you decide to become a Christian, you should know better, being in adulterous, stealing, murder and carving your body. Lev. 19:28. It falls on the category of an abomination.

When some one becomes a Christian he/she knows better. Lev. 19:28 it is in the group of abominations. So please don't try to justify yourself. Repentance is always accepted by God sincerely from the heart.
A lot of Christian forget that we will be resurrected one day with a type of body similar to that which we are housed in now and that it will be clothed with God's glory. Jesus himself, when he was resurrected, still had the nailed scarred hands however clothed in glory. His side was still pierced but clothed in glory. Our earthly body is not just done away with (this is a misconception). God has called us to holiness. He has called us to honour our bodies, and bring it up to him as a living sacrifice and not to doodle on it with cartoons or demonic art. Imagine having a tattoo of a devil on your back and being in the presence of God at the resurrection. 1 Corinthians 15:35-44 NIV But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?” How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body. Not all flesh is the same: People have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another. There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another. The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor. So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 1 Corinthians 15:52 NIV For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” 2 Corinthians 5:2-3 NIV Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. Genesis 3:7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
So many false teachers twisting the words in the Bible to justify the practices of a corrupt world. This man is leading people down the wrong path. People are so desperate to justify their disobedience. All the while forgetting that no matter what this man says, we are all judged by the Most High in the end. I guess we've reached the part when evil is considered good and good considered evil.
What you deem evil that one does to themselves, what made it your business in the first place? We should end the problems we do to each other, not to ourselves. You're an individual, I'm an individual. Don't judge me for what I'm allowed to do that concerns no one and vice versa.
I am not evil by any means just because I have tattoos, God doesn't care about what's on my flesh he cares about my heart, my flesh will perish but my spirit will not! This is the problem with alot of none tattooed Christians that we tattooed people are evil or unworthy.
It is so sad to see believers glorifying what God said to the israelites that they must not do. what i dont understand is if God condemned in the old testament why would it be acceptable under Jesus. The trith is that yee glorifies the flesh more than the Spirit and this is clear by what you manifest in the flesh, i say to you "yee are flesh and do not decern the things of the spirit", you justify your actions rather than seeking out the will of God. Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain. Cain was marked by God for his sin. We can clearly see the manifestation of what is really going inside believers by the marking the put on themselves
Totally agree, my heart is grieving for what I see happening in the body of Christ. Anything goes, it is difficult to separate the world from the Church.

I never hear about the danger of ink being injected under the skin. I read where autopsies were performed, and ink was found in numerous vital organs. Just as I jog or cut out fast food to keep my body healthy, I need to think twice about getting permanent tattoos on the body. If our bodies are temples of God, I need to do everything to try and keep it healthy, in every way. Putting ink in my body might indeed kill me.

@@sallydennison1266 I would love to reply to your essay but I realize agree to disagree is a better option just for the record I'm fully aware of what the scripture says I simply disagree with interpretation of the context of what was said, also if you chose to live by those laws that fine but then you have to apply all of them you can't pick out the ones you like and avoid others but I see religion has is your focus more so than relationship not just with God but with your fellow christian brothers and sisters sadly that isn't that different from the scribes hence they saw Jesus as a horrible violation of religion, but I wish you all the best.....
@@joelsambrano6356 The Scribes added to the Law THEIR traditions NOT following the Law as written in the bible that they had at that time - the Old Testament. For example look at Matthew 15, "Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said, 2 “Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.” 3 And He answered and said to them, “Why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? 4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’ and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother is to be put to death.’ 5 But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever I have that would help you has been given to God,” 6 he is not to honor his father or his mother.’ And by this you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you: 8 ‘This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far away from Me. 9 ‘But in vain do they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.’” So, the Scribes added to their law that when you eat you MUST wash your hands. They also greedily told the believers / the Jews that it was better to give to "God" rather than honoring their parents by taking care of them when necessary. My, Brother Joel Sambrino, you need to take the reading and study of Scripture as serious as Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour did when He was tempted in the desert before he began his formal ministry. Matthew 4 states, "Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And after He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He then became hungry. 3 And the tempter came and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on EVERY word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.’” I encourage you to get serious my friend by reading the Scripture and try to live it out. Yes, you and I fall short and it is by the grace of the Lord we are saved (Ephesians 2:1-10). BUT that gives you nor me the right to not follow everything in Scripture as the Holy Spirit provides us strength.

God is love! May I remind you that the Bible also states that love thy neighbor as you love thyself sounds like you are not being a loving neighbor by judging them because of their tattoo's or lack thereof tattoo's. tattoos are not a sin when the reason of the individual gets one to glorify God and your love for him. Just like the pastor said.
so are we supposed to obey all of the Levitical laws? because obviously a lot of them don't make much sense in contemporary society so how do we know which ones we should and should not listen to? if you believe tattoos are a sin why do you still cut your hair or trim your beard or eat meat?
You need to look into what happens in the spiritual realm when a permanent marking has been made on your body. Reference some videos from the Worldly Side and their opinion of what happens in the spirit through tatttoos.
That is between you and God. Seek him and all else will be discerned. We cannot tell you what is right or wrong. Through prayer and supplication let your heart be known to him and he will send the holy spirit to convict you of his will for you.

@@thecloseddiamond1426 Romans 12:2 2And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. I’m not judging him or them. I am just simply comparing them with Word Of God. 2pet 17-20 17These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 18For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 19While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 20For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
I think many will have missed the part of the sermon where he says go to God in prayer for discernment on this matter first. In my experience the holy spirit will convict me of God's will for me. The Bible states this also.
Not all law of Israël have to be applied to us, yes. The moral law must be applied to us as the moral law is the standards of God. Learn to follow the standards of God and God will bless you. The law of God is not a curse but a blessing. There is a lot of Joy and Love in following God law.

Here is the scripture where it is found in the Torah. NKJ Leviticus 19:28 `You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the LORD (Lev. 19:28 NKJ) 1. Cuttings - In Hebrew שֶׂ֣רֶט (Lev. 19:28) pronounced Sa’ret. Meaning incision or scratch drawing of blood. Make gashes in oneself (a pagan mourning ritual) inflict a wound on oneself (KBL), injure oneself grievously, badly 2. Tattoo- In Hebrew קַֽעֲקַ֔ע (Lev. 19:28) pronounced ka’ahka. Meaning incision drawing blood, and imprintment.This word only occurs once in the whole of the Tanach (Old Testament), 3. Marks In Hebrew כּתֹ֫בֶת (Lev. 19:28) pronounced k’tovet. Meaning writing, inscription (mark or sign) When we read the Scriptures we switch our biased thoughts off. We enter reading the scriptures in neutral mode. We do not force our biased opinions and prejudice on the Scriptures. To change an error in our thinking is the hardest thing to do. But to live our life in a lie destroys you and negatively impacts and destroys other innocent people who interact with you. So choose life in Him and follow His way, not your way. If we cannot do the smallest things for Elohim (God) and our Mashiach (Messiah) how can you do the largest things for Him! The largest things are made up of the smallest things. So if you fail at the smallest things you will never be able to do the large things for Him. If you fail the First Commandment - which you shall Love Him with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might/willpower you will never be able to keep the rest; and your understanding of His words become corrupted with arrogance and prideful understanding and not His. We must never place our will, our understanding, and our interpretation of the scriptures above YaHVaH Elohim (God) and our Mashiach( Messiah). Shalom Samuel
some people who have a Tattoo do it by coping what others are doing due to ignorance. Others have it due to the unresolved emotional pain they have passed. others have opened demonic spiritual doors by having tattoos. We all need Jesus to heal us and surrender our pain to him rather than expressing in our body. Jesus came to heal the broken hearted. Many leaders of the church have a tattoo and many want to copy what they have; we should follow the word of God and the word of God should dwell in us richly. pastors, believers we are all working towards heaven. lest you be deceived. St. Paul says even as I preach the gospel I look back at my self so that I may not miss the mark. when one buys a Rolls Royce Cullinan and a cheap small second hand vehicle which one will he be careful not to be scratched & scribbled? yo be the judge. SELAH!

here is a simple answer the Bible gives us...Jeremiah 10:1-2 1 Hear ye the word of the Lord that he speaketh unto you, O house of Israel. Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen....and also in Deuteronomy 12. Tattoos, Leviticus 19:28 "Ye shall not cut your flesh for the dead, nor make any print of a mark upon you: I am the Lord." God is a jealous God, he wants us to live holy lives and not learn from satan's world and its practices but from God and his kingdom, remember we are sojourners on this earth. Why is there a need for the church to become more like satan's world instead of becoming more like Christ? Are you looking for acceptance from your friends or do you want them to think that you are normal? People want you to become like they are, if you have non-christian friends they want you to drink, party, sin, be lustful and do all the evil practices they do, they do not understand holiness and they actually hate it. Preach the truth to them and have them see that happiness will not be found in imitating others but instead to be right with God.
This is not the mentality of the Kingdom of God to spend time with a tatoo artist. Where is he to give testimony of repentance leading him to be set free from the demonic bondages. Have you ever thought how many people are prepared to be marked in this generation as tatooing mentality is spreading very fast. During World War two, many jews and people were marked by a number tatooed on their arm in the concentration camps. We are afraid that you have missed something very important. It is not too late to repent.

There’s only 1 verse in the bible that directly says don’t tattoo your self but your clearly are ignoring the context of that. The shirt your wearing right now, how many fabrics is it made out of? You can’t pick and choose what you want to be sin, and you can’t judge people for that, God didn’t send us to judge. Jesus tells us to love
Matthew 7:15 ESV “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. Some preachers twist the bible to justify their wrong doing.
Should you spray paint your favorite verse on the outside of the church? Obviously not, you don't own it. 1 Cor 6:20 "... for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body." Try spray painting verses on the Pastors car, see how pleased they are. "For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.” 1st Corinthians 3:16-17. God is the potter, WE are the clay. He chooses our form and colors, as He chooses. We are all masterpieces of His creation, but what happens to the value of a masterpiece when someone puts graffiti on it??? It is not a salvation issue, but it IS a respect issue for both the temple and the creator of it. I appreciate him at least bringing the subject up. The graffiti you put on the Pastors car would also start conversations, does that mean you should do it? Just say no.
“When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, be very careful not to imitate the detestable customs of the nations living there. Deuteronomy 18:9 NLT “Do not cut your bodies for the dead, and do not mark your skin with tattoos. I am the Lord. Leviticus 19:28 NLT There were different laws given and one was do not do as the nations do. People argue that the law is done away with. Only certain parts are done away with example the sacrificial laws. If tattoos are done away with meaning we can now tattoo then witchcraft is done away with also. Meaning if I can tattoo then I can also do witchcraft and also do all the sexual perversions the law also warns us about. Prostitution, lesbianism, homosexuality, pedophilia, beastiality, laying with family members etc. are all allowed. God said these are what the nations do and He does not want us doing it. He said it's an abomination, it defiles the land. The prophets and apostles had no tattoos, Jesus had no tattoos. Paul speaks against sexual perversion and witchcraft and this came from the law. Its what the nations were still doing. We are not to be like the nations around us, our body is His temple. As for God engraving on His hands, we must realize God is not flesh but Spirit. He was telling us in the flesh not to do it, it was for the dead and the spirit of the world

People parish because of lack of knowledge This man just interprets the Bible wrong he should pray for revelation and stop leading people astray . The congregation must also pray for discernment 🤣 Romans 12 vs 2
But why do you need to have a tattoo?The world is supposed to see you as a set apart masterpiece of God. We should look and act like children of God. Pagans also tattoo crosses on them. Sometimes things don't have to be debated in such depth.
I’m in first year w my MA in bib studies. Face head to toe tatted since young boy. I want to be a teacher of the word. I just hope people will accept me like Jesus accepts me. I’m at point where I’m updating resume. Idk if I should use old photos or rather be “me” and use pics showing my skin…my entire back of head is a portrait of Jesus. My tats honor God but very violent. Many demons hanged burned hiding behind other people. Idk. If I could forego the searching for a way to enter this industry I’d do something gnarly so I have a career honoring Jesus but also filling me with adrenaline. Maybe I’ll try and get the word to people in countries where the word isn’t allowed. Dang with my face head neck and hands tats I’m really going to stick out in other countries. I digress. Idk. I have some thinking to do. One thing I know for sure. Like the centurion who begged Him to not go under his roof bc he not worthy i too am not worthy of the love He gives me. Please lmk ur thoughts.

Why does a person make a DELIBERATE CHOICE to alter in a permanent way the temple of God? Tattoos are popular in today’s culture as it was in the cultures that surrounded Israel. They were applied for various reasons to demonstrate ownership of slaves, worship pagan gods, etc…. Will God respect the condition of His property when you seek to surrender the earthly body for your spiritual everlasting body. What justification can be offered for labeling God’s property as “JOHNNY’S” because he was the love of your life?

Moral law??? U said it wrong buddy. Its GOD'S LAW!! GOD GIVES US KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM. Exactly what the pagans did. Mark their bodies for their god. The question is who do you think you are fooling when you put a tattoo for God? Tattoo is of the world not of God. Doesn matter if its a cross or words of the beattitudes. Lets all mark the word of God in our HEARTS and not the TEMPLE OF CHRIST. You are worshipping what the devil wants. So your preaching is false. I aks everyone to keep meditating on the word of God and he will gve you wisdom and knowledge to understand his words. Nowadays preachers are twisting Gods word and law. Very sad but we live in the time of revelation. Open your eyes and dont follow the world
The New Testament defines sin as anything done outside of the realm of faith, (Romans 14:23), and that whatever we do should be done to the glory of God, (1 Corinthians 10:31). God also says that he gives us his laws and statutes for OUR good,, (Deuteronomy 6:24). So if you can honestly say that the health risks you are taking, do not warrant God's warning of caution, and that Jesus will truly be glorified before the Father and the angels of heaven by your added graffiti on the body He made for you, in His own perfect image, then I suppose you need to go right ahead and get it, (Proverbs 14:12).
If Jesus Would want to get one , Them I’m all for it , But By Jesús who obeyed the Law and by doing pleasantly Obeying the law did not get one nor he would get one today . Then Why Would I deliberately do the opposite the Jesus would do. I’m supposed to do and walk and imitate Jesus In all we do by word and acts. Measuring Devices are tools use to seek standards of application. The Law of Moses Shows how we can measure right from wrong . The Jews Heritage has brought moral framework to the Christianity and Jesus Lived By them and Follow them and By doing so, He was approved by The Father. Although No Jesus follower will be justified by the Law That doesn’t disapprove that The Law was a Good measuring tape. The day that Jesus Followers Walk away from The Moral Framework of Jesus’s compass his followers will become Lawless Followers with out directions. With out a tape to know right from Wrong.

To bad he didn’t read the whole scripture. This verse refers to the death and the pagan worship of a death god. Do not cut yourself nor tattoo yourself nor shave your head or trim you beard curls for your dead.
You are not telling the truth ok go and reread your Bible very well, did Jesus put tattoo in his body? we are like christ and we should behave like him ok
The church has majored on minors and has alienated so many people because of it. The people that I've found that complain about it the most are the people that like to judge and or pic and chose what they deem sin or not. Those same people can use chapter and verse to justify what they want to do, but also to condemn things like tattoos. They will qoute versus out of the Old Testement, that were written specifically for the Isaralites, not for us today. Having said that there is things that do pertain to us as Christians. I have 2, I got them to remind me of God's goodness and his promises, if thats sin to you, then you're just flat out wrong. If you feel like it's sin to you, then don't do it, but please don't judge others for doing it , because in the scheme of things, judging others in that context is a much more damaging sin.

Well you just taught opinion over Bible. Bible is clear about making no cuttings on your body, Bible is also clear about we are beautifully and wonderfully made and the temple of the Holy Ghost. Tattoos are nothing more than permanent graffiti on our temples. Nice twisting of scripture but you are sincerely wrong..
I was not going to respond to your comments but I think you need to understand that the Scripture is very clear on this topic, my friend. First the verse that I referred to states, "Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment." This "pastor" will be judged more strictly because he has chosen to become a teacher. Why? He needs to know what the Scripture states and teach it as it states in the full context of other Scriptures. If a Scripture states that something is black or white then that is what it means. Leviticus 19:28 is clear, "You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD." Who made this statement? You? Keith Culver? Me? NO, "I am the LORD"! That's what it states. What happened between the Old Testament and the new? Jesus became the sacrificial lamb so we no longer have to make sacrifices of animal including a lamb to shed blood for our sins. Christ did that for us (John 1:29). Leviticus 19:28 has nothing to do with us making atonement for our sins just like the Ten Commandments has nothing to do with making atonement of our sins. What both Leviticus 19:28 and the Ten Commandments, for example have in common is that they point us to what is sinful in the eyes of the Lord God our Creator. Therefore we as Christians should not make have a tattoo added to our bodies. If we are made in the image of God then why would we want to mar our bodies with something NOT made in the image of God intentionally? (Genesis 1:27) Now, what about a person that already has tattoo's on them before coming into a personal born-again relationship with the Lord? They are not responsible for what they have done to themselves in the past just as a person that has prostituted themselves to another God or to people sexually. (1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.") Also, if a new Christian doesn't know what Leviticus 19:28 states and has a tattoo added to their body they to are also not responsible for what they don't know. We are responsible for what we DO KNOW and it is as clear as "the nose on your face" that Leviticus 19:28 states "You shall not ... make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD." You therefore ARE responsible for what you know and if you disobey that Scripture you will be responsible for that before the Lord.

What a lie of the enemy. Tattoos do not honor God!!! The scriptures given clearly said do not. There is no scripture in the Bible that says a believer tattooed their body to please God.
Whether it’s Israelites or Gentiles today we as God’s people we must know the will of God. Before we indulged to anything we must have a purpose. if you eat anything then it is to fill your hunger… if its about mixed clothes it is to cover all your body. if it is about agriculture then it is to produce food. And it’s valid and common understanding. what is your purpose behind having tattoo on your body? We must go deep in understanding the truth of having tattoos. Does it produce holiness… does it pleases the Lord… we want to have it because we desire to have. But what should matter to us is whether it pleases God or not. When In New Testament says in 2 Timothy 2:22 “Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.” What does it mean not to follow to the patterns of the world? It’s clear if we follow, we are welcoming world and sin in our lives that is how many preachers and believers fall and are away from God’s presence… I am not here to debate but speaking in Spirit that do not say yes to what displeases the Lord… Proverb 14: 15-18 15 The simple believe anything, but the prudent give thought to their steps. 16 The wise fear the LORD and shun evil, but a fool is hot-headed and yet feels secure. 17 A quick-tempered person does foolish things, and the one who devises evil schemes is hated. 18 The simple inherit folly, but the prudent are crowned with knowledge. God bless you all
If you got your tattoos before you got born again, you have no problem but you call yourself a Church leader, and go get tattoos, is very funny, and it's an hindrance to the gospel, and you defile the temple of The Holy Spirit.

Amen, I agree. They've become so common. I see them in my job all the time. I've never got tattoos nor have I found them appealing.
Father forgive us because we know not what we've done
Amen
Na people know very well what they do
I don't know if tattoos are a sin. Scripture does not specifically mention tattoos or marking your body except for the dead as in mourning like the pagans do. But God throughout the Old Testament does mention that He doesn't want His children worshipping the gods of the pagans or following/accepting pagan customs. Tattoos are pagan customs. I hate to burst your bubble but...
Leviticus 18:3 (NKJV)
3 According to the doings of the land of Egypt, where you dwelt, you shall not do; and according to the doings of the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you, you shall not do; nor shall you walk in their ordinances.
That pretty much spells out do not get tattoos. If you already have, then maybe try to remove them if you can afford it. If you are clinging to them after being saved, why are you clinging on to them? I had thought about getting a tattoo when I was in the Marines, but I didn't. I'm very glad I didn't.
My take, and I know it's consistent with the word and way of the Lord is that our bodies is the temple of God. We must be careful NOT to desecrate the temple of God. Again, whatever we do must honor God. If someone had a tattoo in ignorance before coming to Christ, that's it. But as a Christian, you can't go get a tattoo!
Excuse me? I'm a Christian and I have a tattoo I'm not any better than you nor are you any better than me.
Amen

I wonder if his views on tattoos have changed as he has matured in the faith. Firstly, he is correct in recognizing that people who quote Lev 19:28 as a reason for having tattoos is a sin are not properly interpreting the passage in its proper context. Secondly, it is very hypocritical and inconsistent to tell someone that having a tattoo is a sin, all the while wearing a dri-fit shirt or clothing made of two kinds of materials (Lev 19:19). With that being said, I believe for the children of God living under the new covenant that Jesus has ushered in through his blood (Jer 31:31-34; 1 Cor 11:17-34), the Old Testament (OT) restrictions do not apply. Jesus has fulfilled all the OT rules and requirements on behalf of humanity and has brought us out from under the law to the freedom of grace (Gal 3:23-28). Yet in this new covenant of grace, we are held to higher standard where we must live in love - of which we are commanded to lay down our lives for one another (John 15:13). Practically, that means we ought to honor one another above ourselves, not equally to ourselves (Rom 12:10), and we ought to consider the interest of others above our own (Phil 2:1-5). The preacher was right in instructing youth to talk with their parents before making the decision to get tattoos because it put the interest of parents above their own, and it honors the parents. However, the principle of honor and the interests of others is not regulated to children, youth, minors, or young people but to all people. In fact, especially as a leader within the church, greater care must be given to avoid stumbling the faith of others (Rom 14; 1 Cor 8)!
Paul says about caring for the conscience of others: "Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak. 10 For if someone with a weak conscience sees you, with all your knowledge, eating in an idol’s temple, won’t that person be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols? 11 So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge. 12 When you sin against them in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. 13 Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause them to fall" (1 Cor 8:9-13). The principle here is that yes, you may have the freedom to certain privileges, however true love does not exercise the right to those privileges for the sake of others. That is why in the Assemblies of God, ministers make a commitment to abstain from alcohol. It is not a sin to drink alcohol (getting drunk is a sin), but ministers abstain from drinking for the conscience of others. How much more, should tattoos be abstained from if it stumbles others!
May we, the church and family of Jesus, learn to lay down our rights and freedoms for the sake of others as Jesus did for us in dying innocently and vicariously for us. Amen.
Israel, you are incorrect for you must not know that the materials today are all of a synthetic of some type.
Israel The exercise of Good judgement when become to Holiness is Become Rare in this times. And What you say is so on the point Here is something to add to the Thought. Measuring Devices are tools use to seek standards of application.
The Law of Moses Shows how we can measure right from wrong .
The Jews Heritage has brought moral framework to the Christianity and Jesus Lived By them and Follow them and By doing so, He was approved by The Father.
Although No Jesus follower will be justified by the Law That doesn’t disapprove that The Law was a Good measuring tape.
The day that Jesus Followers Walk away from The Moral Framework of Jesus’s compass his followers will become Lawless Followers with out directions. With out a tape to know right from Wrong.

Wow! Cool.
Thank you for this sermon.
This sermon is a good example of man's interpretation of God's Word.
Many christians wont like this why, because many Christians live in religion instead of a relationship
No! Real Christians won’t get mad. It’s not real Christians who will stand before God and answer did justifying this foolish talk. That’s on this nut up there.
@@Proverbspsalms nobody is staying against God, or in front of him. There is a difference between a relationship with God Nd a religion. God never wanted a religion but a relationship
@@silviamagallanes7077 refer to previous comment
@A P so u are saying that all Christians who ain’t religious are from the devil? Let me remind u that Jesus came as an example to how we should live. He showed us what it’s a real Christian. Nd being religious wasn’t one of those things he showed us
@@boitumelomorokolo8659 many people take the Bible out of contexts. U guys judge us bc we don’t want to live in a religion, but in a relationship with God.
When he mentioned the man who was smoking he justufies his destructive behaviour with the destructive behaviour of someone else. Tottoos are painful and it bleeds, how can a Christian have such a self destructive behaviour, if i love myself i do not accept anything that would hurt me. He leads people astray.
People the law is the law. He is varying from scripture. This isn’t levitical law this is the law of God. One law Gods law. He’s in error. No do not get tattoos.
Yes In the Old Testament, JESUS cleared all law from the OT so it doesn’t apply to us
@@joshuavenegas6291 not true. Prove it please. The judicial system of God is still in effect. The judicial punishment system has been out of Jesus at the cross. No. You’ve been taught a tradition of men.
Thank u!!! That I believe 100%. I have a tattoo but I wanted to hear it from my mother, my family and husband first. I discuss my reason for doing it, if they said yes, then ok. It not, then I won’t. A part of me wants to get a dove with a cross on my wrist as a motivational tattoo. My family said ok; but I’m still thinking
Same situation here 🤧been a month did you get it?
@@beeree5463 No, not yet. But after feeling conflicted about it for so long and feeling fear from people saying how sinful tattoos r, I asked god for a sign to help me. I’m not doubting anything in the Bible, nor am I saying people r wrong. But I don’t believe tattoos will send me to hell, in fact I believe that they stay with our mortal bodies and our soul arrives clean. But I told god that, even if I did get another tattoo, my love and faith in him will never ever change. I thanked him for everything he has done for me, (past and present) and I told him that I never want to loose him. I asked him for a sign that he’d always b with me, no matter wat I decided. And as soon as I said that a bluebird appeared on my bird feeder, (my first tattoo is also a bluebird). My heart grew so much bigger that day. Yea tattoos r not great; but if you love god and believe with all ur heart and soul, he’ll always be with u and love u forever. That’s wat I strongly believe.
People should speak to those involved in deliverance ministries to have greater understanding of what can (not will) arise when you have tattoos. This is not an argument about salvation but tattoos can open up one to horrific demonisation. Paul says all things are lawful but not all things edify.
So you go to your family and this person up here whose saying absolutely nothing and justifying tattoos and his stupid reason for showing his vs God. Very interesting 🤔 . We’ll carry on and see where that gets you when you stand before God.
@@Proverbspsalms are you going post to post shaming people…😂 keep it up 👍 you’re doing great work for the kingdom(if you’re even a Christian I can’t tell).
The people in the comments…just shameful and it’s exactly what we see in churches everywhere. People who go to church and when they leave they’re a whole different person. Very sad…I pray the Holy Spirit can touch your hearts. Judging other Christians or ANYONE doesn’t get you into heaven. If you’re angry about this post; This is about you.
I was not going to respond to your comments but I think you need to understand that the Scripture is very clear on this topic, my friend. First the verse that I referred to states, "Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment." This "pastor" will be judged more strictly because he has chosen to become a teacher. Why? He needs to know what the Scripture states and teach it as it states in the full context of other Scriptures. If a Scripture states that something is black or white then that is what it means. Leviticus 19:28 is clear, "You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD." Who made this statement? You? Keith Culver? Me? NO, "I am the LORD"! That's what it states. What happened between the Old Testament and the new? Jesus became the sacrificial lamb so we no longer have to make sacrifices of animal including a lamb to shed blood for our sins. Christ did that for us (John 1:29). Leviticus 19:28 has nothing to do with us making atonement for our sins just like the Ten Commandments has nothing to do with making atonement of our sins. What both Leviticus 19:28 and the Ten Commandments, for example have in common is that they point us to what is sinful in the eyes of the Lord God our Creator. Therefore we as Christians should not make have a tattoo added to our bodies. If we are made in the image of God then why would we want to mar our bodies with something NOT made in the image of God intentionally? (Genesis 1:27)
Now, what about a person that already has tattoo's on them before coming into a personal born-again relationship with the Lord? They are not responsible for what they have done to themselves in the past just as a person that has prostituted themselves to another God or to people sexually. (1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.") Also, if a new Christian doesn't know what Leviticus 19:28 states and has a tattoo added to their body they to are also not responsible for what they don't know. We are responsible for what we DO KNOW and it is as clear as "the nose on your face" that Leviticus 19:28 states "You shall not ... make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD." You therefore ARE responsible for what you know and if you disobey that Scripture you will be responsible for that before the Lord.
You sound as stupid as him.
@@sallydennison1266 leviticus is levitical law, if we was under levitical law we wouldn’t eat pork and males would grow there hair out in a seperation period. 😐 also if we are made in the image of God then dying hair,makeup,piercings all are changing the image
@@asaltyraiderfanboyderek4mv793 I see you are not well versed on what Christ's sacrifice on the cross removed from the Levitical Law as well as how the New Testament and Old Testament is tied together to become the Bible that we are to obey. Remember what John Chapter One states about Christ - The Word became flesh ... Also what Christ stated in response to Satan in the Matthew 4 - Christ's first response. When Christ made that statement what does Christ mean by "every word that proceeds from the mouth of God"? Is He not speaking at that time of Old Testament? Since my "Born Again" (John 3) experience at the age of 18 until today my study of the Words of God did not include reading what other men say about what the Word of God states. I have invested almost 50 years in reading Gods Word - not men's - and then have done what the Bereans did to the Apostle Paul to compare what men like Keith Culver state about the Word of God lining it up / comparing it to what Scripture has to say about the subject. Mr. Culver is making up a false doctrine and will be held accountable as a teacher - just as the Pharisee's and Sadducee's - for what he teaches and thus leading believers astray. For you, my friend, please do not depend on what others say about the Scripture! If you have the Holy Spirit - the Third part of the Trinity - in you then He will teach you all things over time as He has so graciously done for me and millions of others. --- Blessings!

Is this pastor trying to lessen God's Word?
I understand what he is saying, I have doubt about the way he is teaching.

He ☝️ said do not , I am God the same as yesterday, today and forever.
Let me ask. Is a tattoo a desire of the spirit or of the flesh. Does it edify the temple of Christ (aka your body. Does this satisfy God, does it honor him, is it obedience to God, is it prioritizing The Lord? Though the old laws may no longer condemn us, they still apply. God is the same as yesterday, today, and for ever is he not? Does not the word say the our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit of God? Are we not to be a royal priesthood. Aren’t we supposed to seek The kingdom of God and his righteousness first. Are we not to follow in the steps of Christ and his Apostles being him the foundation, are we not to separate ourselves from the world and the traditions, did Jesus not rescue us to from the mud to be new creatures in him? Plainly speaking, the tattoo is not the sin, it’s the act of putting one’s desires first thus putting God second. He who wants to be my disciple Jesus said, deny yourself, pickup your cross and follow me.
My brother no where does the Bible say you may have tatoos,our bodies is still the temple of God ,and we must present it holy unto God.Remember blood are being spilled when you getting one,what are you sacrificing to.
So I was born in a Christian household and what not and I’m on the worship team but the thing that’s holding me back is if I get tattooed my parents said they would disown me and we’ll I’d be kick off the worship team two things that i love would be taken away from so I’m stuck and if I show this to them I’m sure they won’t change there mind so what should I do and mind u IM 23 😮

GOD CREATED US IN HIS IMAGE...
IS THAT NOT ENOUGH FOR US TO UNDERSTAND?
BE HOLY LIKE I AM HOLY SAYS THE LORD IN HIS WORD...
I bet you circumsize too lol.
Revelation 19:16 New International Version
On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: king of kings and lord of lords. Not I'm not here to argue but just following your logic according to this verse Jesus has a tattoo on his thigh so your logic doesn't follow... The truth is there is more than enough context to explain the one verse that folks use to condemn tattoos so unless you have another that is in context then you are simply creating your own bondage which is the opposite of what Christ came to do....
@@ChapterMasterADO Yes he is but in his heart like Paul taught us.
Don't mistake Holiness for legalism, we don't win God's approval by good deeds, the law isn't our ticket to heaven. We become Holy by Loving others just as God has loved us despite leading the sinful lives we lead, don't forget the pit God took you from, He placed us on pedestal to teach and brings others on that pedestal with us through love not judgment. If you don't want tattoos, I really don't understand why you need to watch this video or condemn others for thinking otherwise.

!! Jesus hates tattoos - they cost money and are without purpose - Ecclesiastes ch.1, v.2 "Vanity of vanity, all is vanity", saith the Preacher. QED. Better to give the money in alms to the poor who are suffering.
It is the skirting with the demonic that should bring caution. Many of those who administer tattoos, use needles prayed to entities, and are involved in New Age practices. Many visitors to these parlours are of the same.
I didn't know we were speaking for Jesus now, I don't remember him saying I hate all tattoos in form or kind, maybe it's just me, I must have amnesia or something

Only thing I gotta say is we sin but we are not sinners that's the only lil thing I heard that I was like eehhh but it's ok because I know your heart is genuine and that is a common misconception.
Just as we were made sinners by Adam's sin right? We were irrevocably sinners no matter how much good works we did right? Now by the same token through faith in the finished works of Jesus Christ we are fully justified and made righteous through Him. Amen love you my brothers and sisters keep sharing the truth
Roman's 4:25 He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.
The worst advise on the topic,,,this guy is only justifying himself
When you decide to become a Christian, you should know better, being in adulterous, stealing, murder and carving your body. Lev. 19:28. It falls on the category of an abomination.
I WAS A TATTOO ARTIST AND I GAVE MY LIFE TO THE LORD AND GOD TOLD ME HIMSELF IT WAS NOT HIS WILL AND WAS A SIN. I WAS MAKING ALOT OF MONEY 💰 BUT GOD SPOKE TO ME AND TOLD ME IT WAS A SIN...I QUIT AND NEVER LOOKED BACK... HE IS DECIEVED AND HE IS DECIEVING MANY.....
When some one becomes a Christian he/she knows better. Lev. 19:28 it is in the group of abominations. So please don't try to justify yourself. Repentance is always accepted by God sincerely from the heart.
A lot of Christian forget that we will be resurrected one day with a type of body similar to that which we are housed in now and that it will be clothed with God's glory. Jesus himself, when he was resurrected, still had the nailed scarred hands however clothed in glory. His side was still pierced but clothed in glory. Our earthly body is not just done away with (this is a misconception).
God has called us to holiness. He has called us to honour our bodies, and bring it up to him as a living sacrifice and not to doodle on it with cartoons or demonic art.
Imagine having a tattoo of a devil on your back and being in the presence of God at the resurrection.
1 Corinthians 15:35-44 NIV
But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?” How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body. Not all flesh is the same: People have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another. There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another. The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor. So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
1 Corinthians 15:52 NIV
For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”
2 Corinthians 5:2-3 NIV
Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked.
Genesis 3:7
Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
What you do before you come to Christ is one than but once you come to him you have no business getting tattoos
You are now a new creation
So many false teachers twisting the words in the Bible to justify the practices of a corrupt world. This man is leading people down the wrong path. People are so desperate to justify their disobedience. All the while forgetting that no matter what this man says, we are all judged by the Most High in the end. I guess we've reached the part when evil is considered good and good considered evil.
What you deem evil that one does to themselves, what made it your business in the first place? We should end the problems we do to each other, not to ourselves. You're an individual, I'm an individual. Don't judge me for what I'm allowed to do that concerns no one and vice versa.
Exactly!!!!! Thank
you!!!!
We are all sinners, go to where that scripture is and read the ones before and after it, do u eat meat with blood in it? Then ur sinning to.
@@yvesheinrich5013 agreed 👍
I am not evil by any means just because I have tattoos, God doesn't care about what's on my flesh he cares about my heart, my flesh will perish but my spirit will not! This is the problem with alot of none tattooed Christians that we tattooed people are evil or unworthy.
It's my understanding that tattoos can open spiritual doors to the enemy if it's the wrong one. I realize there is good imagery for the Lord too.
It is so sad to see believers glorifying what God said to the israelites that they must not do. what i dont understand is if God condemned in the old testament why would it be acceptable under Jesus. The trith is that yee glorifies the flesh more than the Spirit and this is clear by what you manifest in the flesh, i say to you "yee are flesh and do not decern the things of the spirit", you justify your actions rather than seeking out the will of God.
Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain. Cain was marked by God for his sin. We can clearly see the manifestation of what is really going inside believers by the marking the put on themselves
Totally agree, my heart is grieving for what I see happening in the body of Christ. Anything goes, it is difficult to separate the world from the Church.
Man, these last couple of Months, I've been struggling with this topic, reading alot of mixed feelings about tattoos, but this video will be my final piece on it!

Also, if a new Christian doesn't know what Leviticus 19:28 states and has a tattoo added to their body they to are also not responsible for what they don't know. We are responsible for what we DO KNOW and it is as clear as "the nose on your face" that Leviticus 19:28 states "You shall not ... make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD." You therefore ARE responsible for what you know and if you disobey that Scripture you will be responsible for that before the Lord.
@@sallydennison1266 I would love to reply to your essay but I realize agree to disagree is a better option just for the record I'm fully aware of what the scripture says I simply disagree with interpretation of the context of what was said, also if you chose to live by those laws that fine but then you have to apply all of them you can't pick out the ones you like and avoid others but I see religion has is your focus more so than relationship not just with God but with your fellow christian brothers and sisters sadly that isn't that different from the scribes hence they saw Jesus as a horrible violation of religion, but I wish you all the best.....
@@joelsambrano6356 The Scribes added to the Law THEIR traditions NOT following the Law as written in the bible that they had at that time - the Old Testament. For example look at Matthew 15, "Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said, 2 “Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.” 3 And He answered and said to them, “Why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? 4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’ and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother is to be put to death.’ 5 But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever I have that would help you has been given to God,” 6 he is not to honor his father or his mother.’ And by this you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you:
8 ‘This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far away from Me.
9 ‘But in vain do they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.’”
So, the Scribes added to their law that when you eat you MUST wash your hands. They also greedily told the believers / the Jews that it was better to give to "God" rather than honoring their parents by taking care of them when necessary. My, Brother Joel Sambrino, you need to take the reading and study of Scripture as serious as Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour did when He was tempted in the desert before he began his formal ministry. Matthew 4 states, "Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And after He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He then became hungry. 3 And the tempter came and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on EVERY word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.’” I encourage you to get serious my friend by reading the Scripture and try to live it out. Yes, you and I fall short and it is by the grace of the Lord we are saved (Ephesians 2:1-10). BUT that gives you nor me the right to not follow everything in Scripture as the Holy Spirit provides us strength.

God is love! May I remind you that the Bible also states that love thy neighbor as you love thyself sounds like you are not being a loving neighbor by judging them because of their tattoo's or lack thereof tattoo's. tattoos are not a sin when the reason of the individual gets one to glorify God and your love for him. Just like the pastor said.
so are we supposed to obey all of the Levitical laws? because obviously a lot of them don't make much sense in contemporary society so how do we know which ones we should and should not listen to? if you believe tattoos are a sin why do you still cut your hair or trim your beard or eat meat?
Ask God to let the Holy Spirit guide you
You need to look into what happens in the spiritual realm when a permanent marking has been made on your body. Reference some videos from the Worldly Side and their opinion of what happens in the spirit through tatttoos.
He is very ignorant
So what’s the bottom line, are tattoos good or bad?
They are NOT ok. He’s just confusing people and leading them astray
That is between you and God. Seek him and all else will be discerned. We cannot tell you what is right or wrong. Through prayer and supplication let your heart be known to him and he will send the holy spirit to convict you of his will for you.

2pet 17-20 17These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 18For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 19While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 20For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
Exactly
He’s talking foolish
I think many will have missed the part of the sermon where he says go to God in prayer for discernment on this matter first. In my experience the holy spirit will convict me of God's will for me. The Bible states this also.
Not all law of Israël have to be applied to us, yes. The moral law must be applied to us as the moral law is the standards of God.
Learn to follow the standards of God and God will bless you. The law of God is not a curse but a blessing. There is a lot of Joy and Love in following God law.

Tattoo is permanent tho a garden isn’t 😂😅, not judging just saying
Here is the scripture where it is found in the Torah.
NKJ Leviticus 19:28 `You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the LORD (Lev. 19:28 NKJ)
1. Cuttings - In Hebrew שֶׂ֣רֶט (Lev. 19:28) pronounced Sa’ret. Meaning incision or scratch drawing of blood. Make gashes in oneself (a pagan mourning ritual) inflict a wound on oneself (KBL), injure oneself grievously, badly
2. Tattoo- In Hebrew קַֽעֲקַ֔ע (Lev. 19:28) pronounced ka’ahka. Meaning incision drawing blood, and imprintment.This word only occurs once in the whole of the Tanach (Old Testament),
3. Marks In Hebrew כּתֹ֫בֶת (Lev. 19:28) pronounced k’tovet. Meaning writing, inscription (mark or sign)
When we read the Scriptures we switch our biased thoughts off. We enter reading the scriptures in neutral mode. We do not force our biased opinions and prejudice on the Scriptures. To change an error in our thinking is the hardest thing to do. But to live our life in a lie destroys you and negatively impacts and destroys other innocent people who interact with you. So choose life in Him and follow His way, not your way. If we cannot do the smallest things for Elohim (God) and our Mashiach (Messiah) how can you do the largest things for Him! The largest things are made up of the smallest things. So if you fail at the smallest things you will never be able to do the large things for Him. If you fail the First Commandment - which you shall Love Him with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might/willpower you will never be able to keep the rest; and your understanding of His words become corrupted with arrogance and prideful understanding and not His. We must never place our will, our understanding, and our interpretation of the scriptures above YaHVaH Elohim (God) and our Mashiach( Messiah).
Shalom
Samuel
some people who have a Tattoo do it by coping what others are doing due to ignorance. Others have it due to the unresolved emotional pain they have passed. others have opened demonic spiritual doors by having tattoos. We all need Jesus to heal us and surrender our pain to him rather than expressing in our body. Jesus came to heal the broken hearted. Many leaders of the church have a tattoo and many want to copy what they have; we should follow the word of God and the word of God should dwell in us richly. pastors, believers we are all working towards heaven. lest you be deceived. St. Paul says even as I preach the gospel I look back at my self so that I may not miss the mark. when one buys a Rolls Royce Cullinan and a cheap small second hand vehicle which one will he be careful not to be scratched & scribbled? yo be the judge. SELAH!

Tattoos were associated with pagan and Baal worship….exactly…
When you come to Jesus you are saved!
here is a simple answer the Bible gives us...Jeremiah 10:1-2 1 Hear ye the word of the Lord that he speaketh unto you, O house of Israel. Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen....and also in Deuteronomy 12. Tattoos, Leviticus 19:28 "Ye shall not cut your flesh for the dead, nor make any print of a mark upon you: I am the Lord." God is a jealous God, he wants us to live holy lives and not learn from satan's world and its practices but from God and his kingdom, remember we are sojourners on this earth. Why is there a need for the church to become more like satan's world instead of becoming more like Christ? Are you looking for acceptance from your friends or do you want them to think that you are normal? People want you to become like they are, if you have non-christian friends they want you to drink, party, sin, be lustful and do all the evil practices they do, they do not understand holiness and they actually hate it. Preach the truth to them and have them see that happiness will not be found in imitating others but instead to be right with God.
This is not the mentality of the Kingdom of God to spend time with a tatoo artist. Where is he to give testimony of repentance leading him to be set free from the demonic bondages. Have you ever thought how many people are prepared to be marked in this generation as tatooing mentality is spreading very fast. During World War two, many jews and people were marked by a number tatooed on their arm in the concentration camps. We are afraid that you have missed something very important. It is not too late to repent.
The scripture is plain and so simple to understand it’s say it’s a sin having tattoos it’s a sin period
Simple to the blinded eye of a “Simple Christian” as we are going in depth of this topic

There’s only 1 verse in the bible that directly says don’t tattoo your self but your clearly are ignoring the context of that. The shirt your wearing right now, how many fabrics is it made out of? You can’t pick and choose what you want to be sin, and you can’t judge people for that, God didn’t send us to judge. Jesus tells us to love
Matthew 7:15 ESV
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
Some preachers twist the bible to justify their wrong doing.
Should you spray paint your favorite verse on the outside of the church? Obviously not, you don't own it. 1 Cor 6:20 "... for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body." Try spray painting verses on the Pastors car, see how pleased they are. "For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.” 1st Corinthians 3:16-17. God is the potter, WE are the clay. He chooses our form and colors, as He chooses. We are all masterpieces of His creation, but what happens to the value of a masterpiece when someone puts graffiti on it??? It is not a salvation issue, but it IS a respect issue for both the temple and the creator of it. I appreciate him at least bringing the subject up. The graffiti you put on the Pastors car would also start conversations, does that mean you should do it? Just say no.
“When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, be very careful not to imitate the detestable customs of the nations living there.
Deuteronomy 18:9 NLT
“Do not cut your bodies for the dead, and do not mark your skin with tattoos. I am the Lord.
Leviticus 19:28 NLT
There were different laws given and one was do not do as the nations do. People argue that the law is done away with. Only certain parts are done away with example the sacrificial laws. If tattoos are done away with meaning we can now tattoo then witchcraft is done away with also. Meaning if I can tattoo then I can also do witchcraft and also do all the sexual perversions the law also warns us about. Prostitution, lesbianism, homosexuality, pedophilia, beastiality, laying with family members etc. are all allowed. God said these are what the nations do and He does not want us doing it. He said it's an abomination, it defiles the land.
The prophets and apostles had no tattoos, Jesus had no tattoos. Paul speaks against sexual perversion and witchcraft and this came from the law. Its what the nations were still doing. We are not to be like the nations around us, our body is His temple.
As for God engraving on His hands, we must realize God is not flesh but Spirit. He was telling us in the flesh not to do it, it was for the dead and the spirit of the world
You are point blank wrong.

But why do you need to have a tattoo?The world is supposed to see you as a set apart masterpiece of God. We should look and act like children of God. Pagans also tattoo crosses on them. Sometimes things don't have to be debated in such depth.

Maybe I’ll try and get the word to people in countries where the word isn’t allowed. Dang with my face head neck and hands tats I’m really going to stick out in other countries. I digress. Idk.

Moral law??? U said it wrong buddy. Its GOD'S LAW!! GOD GIVES US KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM. Exactly what the pagans did. Mark their bodies for their god. The question is who do you think you are fooling when you put a tattoo for God? Tattoo is of the world not of God. Doesn matter if its a cross or words of the beattitudes. Lets all mark the word of God in our HEARTS and not the TEMPLE OF CHRIST. You are worshipping what the devil wants. So your preaching is false. I aks everyone to keep meditating on the word of God and he will gve you wisdom and knowledge to understand his words. Nowadays preachers are twisting Gods word and law. Very sad but we live in the time of revelation. Open your eyes and dont follow the world
The New Testament defines sin as anything done outside of the realm of faith, (Romans 14:23), and that whatever we do should be done to the glory of God, (1 Corinthians 10:31). God also says that he gives us his laws and statutes for OUR good,, (Deuteronomy 6:24).
So if you can honestly say that the health risks you are taking, do not warrant God's warning of caution, and that Jesus will truly be glorified before the Father and the angels of heaven by your added graffiti on the body He made for you, in His own perfect image, then I suppose you need to go right ahead and get it, (Proverbs 14:12).
I agree with him.
This sermon is a good example of man's interpretation of God's Word.
Because you have tattoos.
If Jesus Would want to get one , Them I’m all for it , But By Jesús who obeyed the Law and by doing pleasantly Obeying the law did not get one nor he would get one today . Then Why Would I deliberately do the opposite the Jesus would do.
I’m supposed to do and walk and imitate Jesus In all we do by word and acts.
Measuring Devices are tools use to seek standards of application.
The Law of Moses Shows how we can measure right from wrong .
The Jews Heritage has brought moral framework to the Christianity and Jesus Lived By them and Follow them and By doing so, He was approved by The Father.
Although No Jesus follower will be justified by the Law That doesn’t disapprove that The Law was a Good measuring tape.
The day that Jesus Followers Walk away from The Moral Framework of Jesus’s compass his followers will become Lawless Followers with out directions. With out a tape to know right from Wrong.

The church has majored on minors and has alienated so many people because of it. The people that I've found that complain about it the most are the people that like to judge and or pic and chose what they deem sin or not. Those same people can use chapter and verse to justify what they want to do, but also to condemn things like tattoos. They will qoute versus out of the Old Testement, that were written specifically for the Isaralites, not for us today. Having said that there is things that do pertain to us as Christians. I have 2, I got them to remind me of God's goodness and his promises, if thats sin to you, then you're just flat out wrong. If you feel like it's sin to you, then don't do it, but please don't judge others for doing it , because in the scheme of things, judging others in that context is a much more damaging sin.

Well you just taught opinion over Bible. Bible is clear about making no cuttings on your body, Bible is also clear about we are beautifully and wonderfully made and the temple of the Holy Ghost. Tattoos are nothing more than permanent graffiti on our temples. Nice twisting of scripture but you are sincerely wrong..
If your relationship with the holy spirit gives power to have tattoos then you in error
I was not going to respond to your comments but I think you need to understand that the Scripture is very clear on this topic, my friend. First the verse that I referred to states, "Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment." This "pastor" will be judged more strictly because he has chosen to become a teacher. Why? He needs to know what the Scripture states and teach it as it states in the full context of other Scriptures. If a Scripture states that something is black or white then that is what it means. Leviticus 19:28 is clear, "You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD." Who made this statement? You? Keith Culver? Me? NO, "I am the LORD"! That's what it states. What happened between the Old Testament and the new? Jesus became the sacrificial lamb so we no longer have to make sacrifices of animal including a lamb to shed blood for our sins. Christ did that for us (John 1:29). Leviticus 19:28 has nothing to do with us making atonement for our sins just like the Ten Commandments has nothing to do with making atonement of our sins. What both Leviticus 19:28 and the Ten Commandments, for example have in common is that they point us to what is sinful in the eyes of the Lord God our Creator. Therefore we as Christians should not make have a tattoo added to our bodies. If we are made in the image of God then why would we want to mar our bodies with something NOT made in the image of God intentionally? (Genesis 1:27)
Now, what about a person that already has tattoo's on them before coming into a personal born-again relationship with the Lord? They are not responsible for what they have done to themselves in the past just as a person that has prostituted themselves to another God or to people sexually. (1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.") Also, if a new Christian doesn't know what Leviticus 19:28 states and has a tattoo added to their body they to are also not responsible for what they don't know. We are responsible for what we DO KNOW and it is as clear as "the nose on your face" that Leviticus 19:28 states "You shall not ... make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD." You therefore ARE responsible for what you know and if you disobey that Scripture you will be responsible for that before the Lord.
Exactly
Tattoos are hell on the body.
This guy is not straight to the point as the Holy Bible says not to have tattoos. Lack of knowledge

Yes it's a sin
Nice self defense, now what will Jesus say about you on judgement day? Now show God you love Him, by having them removed.
Don’t worry about God will say to him. Worry about yourself.
What a lie of the enemy. Tattoos do not honor God!!! The scriptures given clearly said do not. There is no scripture in the Bible that says a believer tattooed their body to please God.
Whether it’s Israelites or Gentiles today we as God’s people we must know the will of God.
Before we indulged to anything we must have a purpose. if you eat anything then it is to fill your hunger… if its about mixed clothes it is to cover all your body. if it is about agriculture then it is to produce food. And it’s valid and common understanding.
what is your purpose behind having tattoo on your body? We must go deep in understanding the truth of having tattoos.
Does it produce holiness… does it pleases the Lord… we want to have it because we desire to have. But what should matter to us is whether it pleases God or not.
When In New Testament says in 2 Timothy 2:22
“Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.”
What does it mean not to follow to the patterns of the world? It’s clear if we follow, we are welcoming world and sin in our lives that is how many preachers and believers fall and are away from God’s presence… I am not here to debate but speaking in Spirit that do not say yes to what displeases the Lord…
Proverb 14: 15-18
15 The simple believe anything,
but the prudent give thought to their steps.
16 The wise fear the LORD and shun evil,
but a fool is hot-headed and yet feels secure.
17 A quick-tempered person does foolish things,
and the one who devises evil schemes is hated.
18 The simple inherit folly,
but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
God bless you all
