I get this question more than any question online so I thought I'd try to answer it. I hope it is an encouragement to those who watch it. My hope is that this wouldn't be an issue people freak out about but rather something we engage each other on like normal civil human beings. Appreciate you guys!

I could not believe that there are still Christians arguing about this. Did Jesus die for us arguing about tattoos? Our God is a God of love with no boundaries. Inked or not, you are loved by God.
yeah but being covered in tattoos is a funny way of showing that you love him
Sawyer Weathers once you believe in God and change. The tattoos won't mean nothing! They don't look funny now that their with Jesus but when their not then yeah! 💁
my identity is in Christ Not true. Tattoos are a sin and yes Jesus loves us but doesn't want us sinning. Jesus said, why do you call him Lord if you disobey him? Tattoos are apart of witchcraft and those who have them should repent and seek Jesus for deliverance. God Bless
Truth About Tattoos i hope this is not your only youtube account because it would seem that you really just focus on tattoos that you made an account for it. Why do you hate tattoos so much? There are a lot of other important things that Jesus told us to do, like the great commission, and I don't even remember He told us to condemn people with tattoos. So i don't really get it why you focus so much on tattoos. Hope you could explain it to me, may God bless you.
my identity is in Christ Tattoos are a sin and they invite unclean spirits. I hate them, because God hates them. Tattoos are associated with witchcraft which God hates. I don't hate people with them, for we ALL make mistakes. My channel is to edify my brothers and sisters on this topic that many people do not understand. Tattoos are a sin and the Bible teaches us to tell let our brothers and sisters know when they are sinning. I am not condemning anyone. Just like any other sin, we must repent and continue living for Jesus.

😂what i was thinking
Naomi lmaoo
agreed
May God forgive you 😂
I’m so thankful that nobody from my church judges me when I walk in with my many tattoos. Obviously nobody from this comment section goes there
As long as there is repentance and abstaining from sin. That’s all that matters
Truth About Tattoos Repenting for getting tattoos? No, I don’t see it as a sin
Brody Bauer Tattoos are apart of witchcraft through bloodletting and shamanism. There is a reason why God told the Israelites not to do it. Jesus does not want us cutting ourselves.
If you are a follower of Christ and still getting tattoos, then there is a problem.
You're prideful. Try to be less aware of what's going around you and be more self reflective instead.
edit: I don't want to be a hypocrite. I'm prideful as well. It's hard for me too. Depending on the matter.
Thing is, we always tend to lean to whatever is more convenient for us.

Saaame. 😊

don't read the comments if you get mad easily
Good grief. There are people condemning each other to eternal Hell for positions on tattoos. Let me put it this way, why doesn't the person without sin throw the first stone at the person with a tattoo?
This is a subtle way of saying "I am legalistic and without love, I chastise myself because I want to go to Heaven, not because I love Christ and am overflowing with his love for me so that I am repulsed by sinning against him."
well said
thebullybuffalo lol! I see! Please don't tell them that, I can see them throwing stones at me from here! HAHAHA! But, seriously great point! Let's not argue about our differences, but allow us to rejoice together through what we do have in common. The love that Jesus Christ had for us!
thebullybuffalo That quote means we are not worthy of punishing, but God is worthy of puniishing.
***** Yes, a sin is worthy of as severe punishment as stoning but not by us. The point is, do you really think a tattoo is contradictory to or hindering God's purpose for your life or a wrongdoing to others around you that it deserves stoning (as something like adultery would)? I think not. It's ink on your skin that fades over time. God must have a pretty pathetic purpose for human beings today if that somehow hinders it (apart from Old Testament context in which it was indicative of "heathen" idolatry - the bigger deal was the idolatry not simply the tatoo).
I'm a Christian Catholic. I do not believe that tattoos are a sin. I believe that god loves his children no matter what. I don't have any tattoos yet, but I am planning on getting one . I'm getting one because I am a survivor of depression. And to me that is very symbolic. And my mom is totally against it, but to me it won't make me any different.
And it upsets me how some Christians smother their beliefs in other peoples faces thinking they're right about everything. Not everyone is like you. Just because you think something is right, then doesn't mean someone will agree.
Be free, and do what makes you- YOU.
If someone judges you because of something on your body, then don't listen to them because no one controls your life expect for you.
And I believe this strongly : Give to everyone who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back. 31"Treat others the same way you want them to treat you. 32"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.… Luke 6:31
God loves me no matter what even if I have a tattoo and one small piercing.

i understand make up and whatever. but tattoos, IMO, are not meant for beauty. they are sentimental and full meaning. i have tattoos and i dont feel "prettier" or "uglier" with them. i didnt change at all. besides what about the things people do to make themselves "look better" like body building/sculpting? or dieting to be thin or attractive? tanning? dying hair? wearing flattering clothing? i mean theres nothing wrong with having enough pride in your appearance to NOT look messy but if your preaching against manmade beauty then i figured i would throw this in there too.
tris chiz Took the words right out of my mouth.
"Be free, and do what makes you- YOU."
So in other words, what you're saying is, "To hell with what God says, Do whatever you want."
Good luck with that.
Julie M Explain to me how demonic practices from a Pagan society is of God? Putting yourself through pain and bloodletting is demonic, but for some reason you try to find a way around it and support the devil. Do you know what you're preaching? Evidently not since you're promoting witchcraft. Paul the Apostle made in Galatians 5:19-21 that anyone who messes around with witchcraft will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Oh yeah, many people have gotten demon possessed because of tattoos. Just look up the tattoo festival in Thailand. Good Day.
***** I would not lie about something as serious as this. Tattoos are apart of the occult. It Is Shamanism and bloodletting. No matter what the image is, demons are being invited.
For more information on tattoos, Look up Are Tattoos Sinful? Demonic Blood Covenants by Pastor Mike Connell or Look up David Williams - Tattoos: MAKING AN AGREEMENT WITH THE DEVIL.
God Bless.
I got all my tattoos before I was saved and now it's part of my testimony.
@Cataleya yes
People misuse the scripture for judging others, just like people misuse the separation of church and state. When people say tattoos are bad it is not judging. Galatians 6:1 says "Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted." We are charged by God as brothers to watch out for one another. To say, "yo bro, you really shouldn't get a tattoo." It is not judging but simply helping to restore. The only thing is, we need to make sure we are approaching with gentleness and speaking the truth in love--not the truth with accusation. God Bless my brothers and sisters in the Lord :D
Agree!
Amen brother. Praise God.
amen
Advising is better than judgement, some christians judge others in a way that's of disappointment and look down on them, that judgement won't help as the two won't see eye to eye, but kindly explaining why you disagree with what they're doing would help them actually consider your input and where you're coming from.
Yep, The bible also says we are to judge righteous. So we are in fact to judge. But it should be a righteous judgement
Hey Brother I was blessed by Jesus Christ and was made free from many things in my life that i now call the past. I was a Tattoo Artist for twelve years and was really good at it I made $100.00 an hour... One day God spoke to me and revealed to me that what I was doing was against his will and he was not pleased with Tattooing, I left Tattooing the very next day and sold my equipment and put my self in school, God has completely blessed my life since i left Tattooing and by his loving grace and mercy i am graduating College with a Theology degree in Ministry and Biblical Studies.... Praise the LORD, Our Body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit and it is not our own but it has been bought and paid with a heavy price, the Blood of Christ...
good job man I'm happy for you
Excellent. When I was a teen I actually picked up the Bible one day out of guilt because I led an incredibly filthy life but still knew nothing of following Christ and I thought to myself "let me open the bible because I want to do at least one thing for this God I claim to believe this exists".....I read in Leviticus what it said about tats, decided that day that I would NEVER get one. My heart on the matter is regarding tattoos; what is the HEART behind them, getting them. When I wanted them I could care less about he temple, and wanted to look cool. Tattoos are of this WORLD, and I choose to leave that way daily and leave worldly things when they begin to be unfolded to me in some way. Bless you guys!
+willyweston **sorry for my typos, using my smartphone**
No problem my brother in the fath your testimony means a lot to reconfirm my beliefs in tattoos and why I shouldn't get one myself thank you may God bless you and keep you. I have a question for you what version of the Bible do you read do you read the King James Bible???
Yes AUTHORIZED KING JAMES BIBLE
"The fear of the Lord is the BEGINNING of Wisdom"
Tattoos are not bad by itself, but the reason we are getting them: the flesh!
Wanting to look like rappers.
oh wow. That's honestly a great comment, Sandy. God Bless you for your intelligence
Well i personally want to get John 15:19 tattooed on my arm "if you belonged to the world, the world would love you as its own. However, I have chosen you out of the world, and you don’t belong to the world. This is why the world hates you" because I am persecuted, so when people see me i want them to read the verse on my arm and rethink what they're about to do.
@Jake Clawson thank you brother 🙏🏾
The short answer to this question is "If you have to try to justify your actions or have a feeling of hiding what you have done, you should not be doing it". E.g. I know people who say they would get just a small tattoo or one that won't be visible when wearing everyday clothes. But my question to that is, "If there is nothing wrong with it, why are you trying to hide it?"
You don't need a tattoo to remind you that you're forgiven and loved when he shows you on a daily.
true you don't "NEED" it, I also don't need to wear a Christian t shrit to be able to witness to someone. I also don't need to sing a song in order to worship God. I also don't need an oven to cook my food. A useful tool does not always mean it is a necessary tool
You don't "need" to smile in your profile picture. You do it because it's nice. Simple.
TheBiopoem, so you'd rather do something that God has told His people not do. and u then compare it to doing something 'nice'? Tattoos are cutting one's flesh, which He told His people not to do because the practice comes from witchcraft. but you call it 'nice' to get a tattoo? something is truly missing here.
humilulo I don't agree with your misinterpretation of scripture, niether am I going to argue with you. Simple as that.
this is a great informational video (and shorter than Jeff's video here) which gives useful info on tattoos:
ruclips.net/video/J-aiMKMiX6Q/видео.html
Its Good to hurt with a truth rather than to comfort with a lie!!
Amen
vamsi raj yup getting tattoos is not a sin
Adrian Verhalen, Answer my question,Do u like your Church to have grafty on it?? No right! Then how can u say its not a sin to have tatoos on ur body,cause your body is the Temple of God!
Truth About Tattoos Galatians 6:1 are one who says to his own flesh will reap from his own flesh corruption but one who sows to the spirit will from the spirit reap eternal life
nowhere in that is it referring to tattoos or markings on your body or eating anything in any way I can't believe you're going to go around preaching that to people so out of context you should check yourself and listen to the Holy Spirit that's my first time reading that and even I understand the context of what it meant you have a whole Channel even your name is talking about how tattoos are bad the three big arguments and the only argument ever listed where in this video and you bring up Galatians 6:1 which has nothing to do with that please please keep it short but if you can explain how it has to do with tattoos please do
vamsi raj you're taking Corinthians out of context again it is not referring to that it is referring to sexual sin only and how it is unclean for the soul last I checked when you go to heaven we don't take our bodies with you and getting a tattoo is not like having sex with somebody where you damage your soul and put marks on it because we can't talk to our souls physically it's a spiritual thing and that's what sex is it's a spiritual thing a gift from God and when we use it as idolatry a thing of our own then we are putting marks on our spirit but we can always be washed clean by the blood of Jesus obviously
Thanks for emphasizing the importance of knowing a scriptures context.
Ugh Jefferson you help me with so much. Love u and Alyssa! God bless you 💙
Dalya Do not be deceived by this video dear sister in Christ. A lot of things are taken out of context. Tattoos are connect to witchcraft through bloodletting and Shamanism. God does not want us cutting our flesh and participating in a Pagan Practice.
@@dj13calli You take it out of context. Tattoos don't have to be connected to witchcraft or anything like that. Besides, there's no specific rule in New Testament scripture that forbids tattoos.
"If you love me, keep my commandments." John 14:15
Mike B Truth
Above all else love one another. That's the greatest commandment ever.
Michael Trotter no. That’s not the greatest commandment, read the Bible my brother. The greatest commandment is love God with all your heart, body, and soul.
African genius Absolutely, do not live in sin...
African genius I thought the greatest commandment was “I am your god, there are no other gods” since it tells that you must recognize God as the almighty and only god, which leads to how his teachings are important.
Okay, So let me get this straight comment section... Somehow, you all feel the need to try and put down an amazing and inspirational man. If you are so close minded about something as simple as a tattoo, or claim he is justifying the art of tattooing. I raise you this question, Who gave YOU permission to judge people with tattoos? See, you cannot defend any argument against the art of tattooing because of one simple thing! You are not God. God accepts ALL people, of ALL backgrounds and cultures. Here is the problem with the Christian faith today, many of us are lukewarm. Meaning we do not have the fire inside of us to accept the fact that we have no power over others. We may be able to influence others around us, but in the end, it is our Lord who does everything. He uses us to guide and help the ones who are hurting and lost around us... I have a tattoo, it is my little sisters initials and her birthday. She passed away in early 2006 from Hypertrophic-cardiomyopathy. A heart disease which required a heart transplant. She lived to be 6months old. But she was the strongest child I've ever met. She was in excruciating pain, but she hardly cried. My tattoo is on my right bicep, my strongest muscle on my dominant side. Does having a tattoo in her honor make me bad person? Does having a tattoo of a cross, or scripture, or even a compass make you instantly infested with demonic spirits??? I seem to be doing just fine, I have had my tattoo a month, and I attend church, youth group, and I hope to join my worship team. The problem you have with anything remotely against what YOUR OPINIONS are, is that YOU ARE NOT GOD. You do not have power to judge or condemn any person. You are not a higher being than the next, you are a SERVANT of God. If God Himself were to come to you right now, do you think he would be proud that you put others down and forced YOUR OPINIONS down their throat?? I pray that God will enlighten anyone who is so misguided to think that they can judge others. And if that is you, just know that a 17 year old young adult just produced a more competent and possibly more correct statement than anything you could have remotely began to think about. God bless everyone, and Merry Christmas.
+Michael Pika-pi Russell John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. What Jeff is doing with this video is dangerous and misleading people into sin.Also, you might want to listen to the many pastors and People of God who have spoken this topic. Carli Eli- Tattoos and Piercings are not biblical
Pastor Mike Connell- Are Tattoos Sinful Shamanism and Demonic Covenants
Pastor David Williams- Tattoos: Making an agreement with the Devil?
Dr. Bree Keyton- Dont get Tattoos, Demons manifest through them
*Evangelist Fernando Perez- Are Tattoos Dangerous Spiritually?*
Pastor G Craige Lewis- Truth Behind Hip Hop 8
Jennifer Koller- Tattoos are Forbidden in the bible...repent now!
27 Prayer & Fasting Plan- Tattoos Are Deadly- Personal Testimony & Revelation
Sak Yant Tattoo Festival in Thailand, Demon possession
etc. all explain the truth about tattoos and how dangerous they are spiritually.God Bless You in Jesus name. :)
+dj13calli I have no need for any of those my friend, I stick to my original statement. What man can say the meaning of any tattoo? I will not disagree that getting a pentagram, or something of that nature could be incredibly dangerous. But lets face the facts, we can use my tattoo as example, it is in honor of a child who now lives in heaven with an almighty creator. My friend has over 57 tattoos, every single one of them is uplifting, or glorifying to God. He is an amazing youth worship pastor who has beautiful children and a wonderful wife. We as Christians cannot keep living in the confined spiritual boat we are comfortable with. My Churches pastor gave a beyond amazing message about stepping out of our comfort zone and reaching into the unknown areas of the world. Christians simply cannot reach anyone if we are quite simply, confined to ourselves. We MUST be open to everyone, of every history. God has saved even me, a torn, wounded, broken down teenager. And He has turned me into the man I am today. A tattoo does not make me any less of a Christian. You may say all you like about tattoos but that does not make me falter from my steadfast rock that is the Lord. I would like to state publicly that a Christian, who has modeled him/herself after the Image of The Savior Himself, would not condemn anyone purely based on physical features. None of it matters my good friend, because we are saved in the almighty grace that is God. And there is no arguing with that, you and myself both know this. It all comes back to accepting everyone. Because, I've said it once, and I'll say it again, Me, you, the guy next door, are NOT God. :)
+dj13calli Also as a final note, if we are protect by God and His armies of angels, how can any demon enter us? If I was unsaved and got a tattoo of something that could be either meaningless or unspiritual, I could understand being attacked by satan. But this video is from a Biblical standpoint, so I doubt many unsaved people would have much interest in it. As for us as children of God, we are untouchable by satan and his demons. As my father tells my sister, "Satan cannot hurt you, if he does, God will strike him with almighty power" And this is true for all of us.
I do hope you will look more into how uplifting and even spiritual in a good way tattoos can be. Maybe even look at some of the beautiful designs people get. It is truly an art, and as with anything, can be used for good or evil. God bless you,
Michael Pika-pi Russell Like Ive told you before, I have seen people delivered from having tattoos in Church. Tattoos are demonic and not of God. *ANY* Pastor who does deliverance will tell you that.
Yes, even though it may seem innocent to get a tattoo because of good intent, the devil can still use that because of the origin of tattoos. This is something a lot of people are not aware of and we get ourselves in a trap with the devil because of false doctrine or misleading advice. We are not perfect, we all make mistakes, but God made it clear not to get a tattoo for a reason. I know a lot of people who have been delivered from Tattoo Covenants. No matter what the intention was, people still give legal right for unclean spirits to be in there life because tattoos are apart of Witchcraft.
*Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.*
*1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.*
Tattoo ink is usually made up of Mercury, Lead, Cadmium, Beryllium, Arsenic, which is harmful to the skin. Tattoos can also cause Hepatitis B,C, and HIV. None of this is of God.
*Tattooing the body is a satanic practice, it is associated with Paganism, Heathenism, Mysticism, Cannibalism, Demonism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Shamanism, Baal Worship, and many other Pagan beliefs.*
That is why God told the Israelites not to do it in Leviticus 19:28.
Tattoos are not of God, and any Christian doing this needs to repent and ask God to break any spiritual covenants that have been made. I have seen demons manifest through people with tattoos of Crosses, Scriptures, Flowers, Animals, etc. it does not matter because getting a tattoo itself is witchcraft and Shamanism.
57 Tattoos? That addiction comes from Unclean Spirits just like the Man in
*Mark 5:1-20* That person needs to be prayed for. For anyone to cut there flesh like that, that many times is a sign of demons.
If you look up the SAK YANT TATTOO FESTIVAL IN THAILAND, Demon possession. You will see what spirit is really behind this. I have met many missionaries who have go over there to spread the Gospel and cast out demons, especially demons connected to tattoos.
1 Corinthians 3:16-17
Cheers
+Michael Pika-pi Russell I agree. There is nothing deceiving in what Jeff posted here. People forget that God is spiritual and that although the physical is somewhat important, it's not going to send us to hell. There's a whole lot of churches that are more like cults then disciples of Christ. Think they can condemn others to eternal hell fire.. That's just not right and truly hurts my soul. We should extend love, grace, and truth to ALL peoples. Explain the truth without judgment.. When you judge people and are harsh with them, you have gotten no where with them. They ignore everything you have to say after that.
Thank you! I have no idea how many times I bring this up for people.
Why do you need a tattoo to remind you you're loved and forgiven. I think the best verse for this matter is to not conform to the patterns of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind
Jeremiah 17:9
9 The heart is more deceitful than anything else,
and incurable-who can understand it?
Do Christians really think having or not tattoos is an issue to waste time on?! C'mon! Just love, respect and don't bother thy neighbor and that's it!
+hukes Well its connected to witchcraft which is serious and the bible tells us to be vigilant. God Bless
+TruthAboutTattoos
Stop. Watch the video. Stop giving all the other Christians a bad image. He addresses all of your concerns if you actually watch the video.
Grace Janku Giving Christians a bad image? I am doing what Jesus and Paul did and that is expose the devil's tricks. Jeff is not a Pastor who does deliverance and he took most of the scriptures out of context. People have been delivered from tattoo covenants, yet Jeff did not talk about that.
The bible says let no man deceive you. Stop being so Carnal.
God Bless
+TruthAboutTattoos Stop being so religious. You're filled with imaginations my good friend
+TruthAboutTattoos Jesus exposed you here..
Mark 7:20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. 7:21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 7:22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 7:23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
so you have the leaven of the pharisees. More concerened with the body which is getting older and falling apart. The same body that God will allow to be eaten up with maggots. But you miss the sins IN you as you lie and burden people like your forefathers the pharisees did.
Hey guys! I just wanna say something to all the Asians out there. Like im asian and its definitely a culture thing here, as we know it, that tattoos are perceived as a mafia/yakuza thing. Something that bad people do to show off that their scary (like what my parents would say).
So remember guys, we should be the salt and light to this world, thats our mission as Christians. If having a tattoo is hindering you from it, or is hindering other ppl from seeing you as a good example (or maybe jst hindering themselves from seeing you), then maybe its a good idea to stay un-tattooed.
Well im seeing this from a cultural point of view, as an asian born-again, whose born and raised here in asia. Please #nooffense, and God bless you!
I am a subscriber, and i feel very blessed from watching all your videos, those are all incredible and powerful words. Thank you so much for making them its such a blessing to find your channel!
My tattoos are not visible to others. They all have special meaning for my life and for my growth in Christ Jesus! When people share their shame for tattoos and they know how I love Jesus, people tend to release their shame for having a cross or rose tattooed on themselves. Our lives are our ministry.
When in doubt…pray and the Holy Spirit will guide you.
This is true. People totally forget about the context of God's word.
Thank you for your opinión, But the Holy Spirit convinced me that tatoos are not necessary. We have everything in Him. God bless you.
Campbell Koschei why do you bring her down? Why do you choose to call her pathetic and deluded instead of trying to understand her point of view? If that’s what God has put in her heart, then who are you to say “that’s pathetic and deluded” instead of judging and giving your point of view, pray for discernment over this topic to God, or be praying for her.
Thank you for ur own opinion as well. But you have your own personal conviction. God bless u ❤
Abby D So then prayer is not necessary since he knows everything before it happens .
Randolph Leemah he does know everything beforehand but prayer brings you closer to him and helps your relationship with him. It also gives you a chance to ask him to lead you in a specific path.
Callie Shae well then maybe he’s deaf cuz I’ve been asking and he hasn’t answered.
Be NOT of this world. Our temple should not display the world! You can be forgiven but you should not try to justify it because it was a DESIRE OF THE FLESH! When you choose to guide make sure you are NOT leading people astray of Gods word to fulfill fleshly wants and desires. He wants you to GIVE UP everything that includes your wants💖✝️
Pray for our loved ones who have done it, pray they regret it because many have egotistic attitudes about it. They say I put the cross or a nice design that is not evil to justify it, Please Pray God enters them deeply so they change
Amen
Amen
this honestly helped me so much. Thank you! Subscribed :)
I dont judge those who has tattoos, but as a child of God, though the verse "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?" is talking about becoming one, it still is reffering to our body as the temple, and as a follower of christ I would much rather keep my body pure from the things of the world, all have fallen short of the glory of God, so I am not saying that I am perfect, but I would much rather not cause an eye to turn to my flesh.
Now those who were once in the world & already have tattoos, its a different story, they are apart of testimony to that persons life.
I dont believe that we should justify our desires, tattoos are something a person wants not needs.
God bless you!
I agree with you why even run that risk just for a tattoo....if god wanted us with tattoos he would made us with tattoos. For those who had committed that error its not late but repent and yes you will still deal with this earthly things in purgatory .
azariah escalante it's the palce of holy spirit
Mark 5:1-20
And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:
Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.
And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.
But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,
And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.
For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.
And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.
nd they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.
And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.
nd they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.
And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.
Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.
And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.
azariah escalante I agree with you. Sometimes Christians can look to their own society and wisdom in addition to Scripture. As a Christian I should be striving to not draw attention to myself, or strive to look like the world, and instead trying to be a good witness for Christ. In our current society, it seems as though tattoos and body piercing are more of a worship of self rather than being a humble servant for Christ. Just like I don't understand the down-grading of our dress code at church either. When someone goes on a job interview, they try to look their best. But for some reason, many Christians go to church wearing their worst. Why do Christians always try to find some excuse to live and act like the world than just trying to be separate and wholesome. And I'm far from perfect. One can find many faults in me, but it doesn't lessen the reality that putting so much emphasis on the body, whether it's expensive clothing, tons of makeup and jewelry, or tattoos and body piercings, appears to be a glorification of self and not glorification of Christ.
Do I need a tattoo saying I'm saved in order for me to remember this? I think the Holy Spirit places that on our hearts. It seems pretty trivial to think we need a tattoo to remind us that we're saved. Just my own thoughts on the subject.
Kirk Reynolds Amen.
Also, Tattoos open us up for unclean spirits to enter into our lives through bloodletting and shamanism. (Mark 5:1-20) In Thailand at the tattoos Festival there (SAK YANT Tattoo Festival) Thousands of people are possessed every year. (1 Corinthians 3:16-17)
That is the destruction the devil brings with this.
God Bless
"And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow-not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below-indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord."
AND THERE IS OUR TRUTHFUL ANSWER. GOD IS LOVE AND HIS WORD SAYS NOTHING CAN SEPARATE US FROM GOD'S LOVE THROUGH HIS SON JESUS CHRIST! Amen to that!!!
+Angelina Romo Jesus does not want us sinning. If we sin, we must repent. Tattoos is apart of Witchcraft which is forbidden in the Old and New Testament. God Bless
+Kiara Taylor FilmArt&Music sister this verse has been taken from the book of "Romans" chapter 8 :) i'm glad you like this verse because i love this tooo....God bless you sister :)
***** If a person is a Christian and is continuing to get tattoos, that is a sign of Unclean Spirits and that person needs to repent and ask the Lord to deliver them from those demonic spirits. Thousands of Pastors and Missionaries have dealt with demons connected to tattoos of Flowers, Crosses, Animals, Stars, hearts, prayer hands, etc. The devil has deceived millions with this. We need to ask the Lord for wisdom and discernment because the devil runs rampant. (1 Peter 5:8)
God Bless
+TruthAboutTattoos We repent to BELIEVE the GOSPEL. You are the hypocrite that the Lord warns us about. There are well over 2,113 sins written . So you attempt to tell people that YOU repented from all of them ? NOPE ,so YOU are a liar and a dog of the circumcision.
AMEN !
When you sit there and say that Jesus may have had a tattoo who knows are you serious that is outright blasphemy
Is it though?
Thanks for the amazing vid brother! Helped me a lot! God bless!
I have a tattoo and I was very hesitant to get it. But after a month of prayer the Holy Spirit was reassuring me it was absolutely fine. I put a christian mark on my body. So those who claim that tattoo's make a "covenant with the devil" how could that be so if every time I look at my arm I am reminded of who I belong to? I am reminded to pray and show love and mercy even in the worst storms. If anything, I felt anger from the devil when I got this tattoo, and I also felt the love from God. I did it to show Jesus that I offer EVERYTHING to HIM. It's also a way to start a conversation about Jesus to nonbelievers now. I agree with Jeff in this video. If it is to glorify God, there is no harm. Only Gain.
same. Got the name Jesus under my collarbone. I'm young I'm only 17 but it certainly was the right choice!:3
God voice will never contradict His word and if somethings is from God why would you be hesitant about it? God tells us not to defile His temple.. Do you think marking His temple doesn't defile it? Would you take your moms car out for a drive and go spray-paint it? I don't think you would... So why would you have more respect for your mom and her car than for God and His temple? Please send me a verse of approval where God says that it's okay to make yourself and that He approves. Show it to me in black and white from scripture and I'll believe you..
+Nicholas Smith Brother, Christian Tattoos are not biblical and it is an oxymoron. No matter if it is a Cross or a Scripture, covenants with demons are still being made because Tattoos is apart of Witchcraft through Bloodletting and Shamanism. A Tattooist is known to be called a Shaman and when you allow him to cut your flesh, you are participating in a Shamanic Blood Ritual and demons can be invited. God told the Israelites over and over again in Deuteronomy NOT to copy what the Pagans were doing for it was an abomination unto God. Jesus doesn't want any one cutting their flesh, that is not the way we glorify God. (John 4:24) (Romans 12:1-2)Many people have made this mistake in getting so called Christian Tattoos, not understand that demons are the ones to encourage us to get them. This has actually been seen before in Church and people have manifested demons that were connected to tattoos of Butterflies, Crosses, Scriptures, Animals, Hearts, Stars, Flowers, etc.Please repent and ask the Lord to reveal the truth to you. (1 Peter 5:8) God Bless
+God's Child Amen.
you shouldn't need something external to remind yourself who you belong to. That already is the problem.
your body is the temple of God...
no your body is your own temple
@lambosbread and he bled and suffered to make that temple so I recommend keeping it pure and clean...
Abby Scott if you believe in that sort of thing but not everybody does
@@trimtatankenergy this video is for Christians not non Christians.
@@TheSwordofTruth Would God say the Bible is for Christians and not non-Christians??
Also i really appreciate what you and your wife are doing and I agree with everything you have said. Don't let ignorance hender this amazing ministry!
Emarie Soto This video is 100% complete ignorance. All the scriptures he used have been twisted.
Exactly! Context is key! People like to pick verses out of context instead of understanding what was going on at the time.
My first response to any questions when it comes to drinking, gambling, tattoos, etc. is that we are clearly sent to live in this world but not to be of this world. Who does it glorify when you get a tattoo? Does that mean it's a sin to get a tattoo, I don't know. But I'd rather it be said of me that I am different than the world, and the best way to do that is to be different.
but isnt it the very segmentation of the human species from the rest of the world that has lead to so much egotism and especially clinical depression in the west?
Except that both drinking excessively and gambling excessively (love of $$$) are explicitly said to be wrong in the Bible.
If you want to be different from the world do so in ACTIONS - love people, don't curse, be helpful etc. We have the Holy Spirit in all of us now. We don't need to live in Old Testament times when they didn't have the love we should be overflowing with.
Risa Craig I'm not certain of what you are referring. I'd argue that any apparent egotism from "the west" is due to medical, technological, and financial advancements. The increase in clinical depression doesn't currently have a known correlation, but I'd assume it comes from early brain development, caused by schools, televisions, etc.
thebullybuffalo I'm not just referring to the excess of drinking and gambling, but the very act. Who are you serving when you do either?
It's funny that you say to be different I should do exactly what anyone who believes themselves to be a good person would say. We're called to be a light to the world, which sounds like a good thing. Were called to help people see, but how often do you wish you could blot out the light? How often are you tired and can't sleep because the sun's to bright, or driving with the sun in your eyes? Being a Christian means to be set apart. And if you are doing it right there is no need to make sure you go around loving people, not cursing, being helpful, etc, because the fruit of the Spirit will be manifest in you and there will be no stopping it.
Andre Wizner Who are you serving when you brush your teeth or when you drove a car the other day? These are morally neutral actions because there is no morality in them.
Same applies to drinking and gambling except when they are done in excess because unlike brushing your teeth or driving your car (well maybe driving can be an "idol" for some people) these things can create idols instead of God and cause you to possibly be a bad representation of Christ if you're drunk.
Your last paragraph is terribly unbiblical... "THERE IS NO NEED TO GO AROUND LOVING PEOPLE" ???????
I guess Christ doesn't need to love you or me then either and pay for our sins on the cross (John 13:34-35)
God reduces the commandments of the Bible all the way from the Old Testament continually to the New Testament until there is only 2 inseparable commandments: Love your God with ALL your heart and love your neighbor. When asked who is my neighbor Christ told the story of the good Samaritan with the implied conclusion "to whom are you being neighborly?" and showing love to the furthest extreme - loving your enemy (as an illustration, he literally says love your enemy as yourself anyways and if you don't love yourself, you can''t love God Matthew 7:12; Luke 6:31).
Galatians 5:22-23
But THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS LOVE, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
Do you know what Paul meant by fruit? We are the tree and our actions are the fruit.
1 John 4:16
So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
If you're not a loving person, that's a good indication you don't have a relationship with God from being saved and renewed. The fruit of the Spirit IS LOVING OTHER PEOPLE.
1 John 4:7-8
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
1 John 4:7-8
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
I could go on and on with verses about us loving others besides Christ.
I don't think you know what God defined as "doing it right." God bless
Praying for everyone whom satan is giving in their head wrong ideas about what is wrong and good.
Tattoos are like a words. It is not bad or good by default. It depends what meaning we give them.
Perfect video - truth and wisdom by a holy spirit. God bless you all
+Seb_Production So explain to me Why at the Sak Yant Tattoo Festival in Thailand, Thousands of people are possessed every year?
+Domingo J Coz they are using tattoos in a bad way - they are worshiping devil and they are calling to them demons, because of evil / demonic tattoos they have. Btw brother, people everywhere are possessed, no matter where :)
Seb_Production No, because people with tattoos of crosses and scriptures have manifested demons as well.
Tattoos itself is apart of Demonic practices like Bloodletting and Shamanism which is Witchcraft.
If people have demons, they them casted out. If Christians have demons, they need to be delivered and have those demons casted out as well. If not the urge to sin will stay there and can lead us away from God into Willful sin.
God Bless
Seb_Production amen
You are agreeing with him because you and him are part of the same culture. If you are following God, you are *not* supposed to be like the world.
Thank you for clearing this up for me
We are loved by the lord we don’t need tattoos to show that he loves us either way tatto or not I love u all keep repenting
A old man told me once; just because it sounds good that doesn't mean it is good, prove all things; hold fast that which is good, abstain from all appearance of evil. My grandpa. I think I'll stick with his explanation.
+didier banegas Very wise man. God Bless
+didier banegas but what appearance do you think is evil?
CAMERON ALFRED, anything that is not good it doesn't come from GOD.
but the way we use it can either be good or evil
CAMERON ALFRED You cant take something that belongs to the devil and present it to God. God will never accept it because tattooing the body is a demonic practice that is connected to witchcraft.
Cheers
I have 5 tattoo's and when I came to Christ He laid it on my heart to never get another one. Now, everybody is different, and maybe God did not lay it on another persons heart to seize getting tattoo's. From a personal stand point, I feel it is sinful to mark up your body; and if I could I would get rid of them all.
Same for me here...... no offense Jeff
i actually understand you, because those 5 tattoos are from BEFORE meeting God, so, those tattoos are not meant to glorify God or a good thing, you better than anyone know why u have them but now you are a christian u realized that those tatoos are wrong maybe because of the meaning of them or idk, but thats the difference that jeff is talking about, watch the video again, you might get more of this video.
You can
Praise the Lord for your obedience to the conviction of the Holy Spirit. I agree with what you've said. I do not have any & won't ever get any. It baffles me to see any Christian getting tattoos after they are saved.
As a Christian, look at the sistine chapel. Yes, your body is a temple, but why not create the most beautiful temple ever.
Amen x10. Some people (especially older generations) take so many things out of context.
Amen. Keep up the good work you're doing amazing job. I know Jesus will totally be proud of you thank you for always go back to scripture.
Apparently some Christians dont understand that this body you have is not yours,
it's the Temple of the Holy Spirit, therefore how can you justify putting graffiti over the temple of the Most High.
Moreover if you have any background in the occult you know that tattoos are an old practice to make covenant with spiritual forces either to repel or to invoke forces.
Stop trying to conform to this world of darkness and doing things that are so far from the way all people of God should live.
Amen.
It is not your place, nor my place to judge anyone. So lets Leave that to the Lord.
tattoos are a form of art, that makes them decorations, not graffiti
Your Royal Hoiness
grafiti is a kind of art to
I just meant the kind that's intended to be malicious, tattoos aren't intended to desecrate anything, except for some that are
I totally agree with him. I think the worst thing a Christian can do is focus more on a specific verse and not read the entire thing into context . I think it's important to express yourself in a positive way and your love for the Lord . People choose different ways to do it but I think it's just important to pray to God about it first , however you chose to express yourself and ask if it's pleasing to him. But I personally don't find anything wrong with tattoos
So you're going to pray to God asking him if it's OK to sin? You're going to learn the hard way.
He clearly said it doesn't please him
Yeah, Christians can tend to jump to conclusions quite rashly sometimes.
Wow! I just watched this video and went onto the page to see you do now have Kids!!☺️God bless your family! I believe before we do anything on this earth we shall pray and ask for guidance because he will answer as long as we have PATIENCE and FAITH!
also if your body is a temple we have to remember that temples were decorated with so much gold & fancy stuff so why shouldn’t we decorate our bodies if we want to & it’s not going against the God & the Bible.
We do not own our bodies. If God wanted to decorate us he would have. Tattoos come from Paganism and Heathenism. Tattoos are apart of Witchcraft through bloodletting and shamanism. People who get them actually curse their lives because tattoos are covenants made with unclean spirits.
I agreee ✨✨✨
Truth About Tattoos what if it is a bible verse? How can that lead to witchcraft or curse there life, it is the word of God not some demonic symbol.
Alex Marie Because the image of the tattoo is irrelevant. It’s all about the act of tattooing itself. It is an ancient demonic practice used to give honor onto demons. Whether it was a tattoo of a butterfly or scripture from the Bible, demons are connected to it because they are the ones that encourage people to get tattoos. These are known as Unclean Spirits and they encourage people to sin.
@@alexmarie3050 Tattoos will not magically lead you to a life of evil dont listen to this guy. Hes telling you ancient text that doesnt even relate to todays world. Marks on your body in those days are completely different they arent even relatable. Dont let people like this control and brainwash you. Do what makes you happy and live a happy positive life.
God said our body is a temple and we should keep it clean without piercings. simple as that. you're trying to find loopholes to keep sinning without guilt.
I bind and loosen every serpent, spirits of deception, religious spirits, spirits of witchcraft, sorcery and divination within and without my life in Jesus name. In whatever place you occupy be it my mind my thoughts my conscience be it my body my spirit my heart or my soul be consumed by the fire of the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus I command all you demons to go in the name of Jesus Christ by the authority that is in the name of Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit be cast out, Amen. Thank you Jesus for delivering me I am delivered, I'm free, I'm healed and blessed, I'm a child of God, my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit I'm redeemed, sanctified and justified by the blood of Jesus and the Lord and I are one in Jesus name Amen.

Hey dude! legit found your youtube channel, not even 30mins ago.... absolutely loving the message. God is doing amazing things for you!! I was wondering if you could make a youtube video on the 'sabbath day' like when is that? is it really the 7th day? Has Jesus broken that law by the cross?
Thank you for this video and explanation. I have contemplated the tattoo issue for a while now.
I have wanted a tattoo of Jesus on the cross on my right forearm for a while as a reminder as to why I carry on and the person I should strive to be like, Jesus.
Thank you for posting this video! I just got my first tattoo a few weeks ago and could not be more pleased with my decision. It was nota decision that I made over night, but one I have been talking about with my husband and praying about.
I got it covering a scar that I have from high school during a rough period of my life. When I was in that moment, I was dealing with a lot and in a lot of sin. God saved me from that and I got the tattoo purposefully on top of the scar. Now every time I look down at my wrist, I see the cross and not a scar that brings up the past. Christ died for my sins and I am covered by the blood He shed on that day. I love the representation I now have on my wrist. I coach cheerleading for high school girls and they are the first people I have been able to share my story with because of the tattoo. It is such an awesome way to open up conversations about Christ and how He has saved us in a way that makes it easier!
I plan on using my tattoo as an every day reminder of Christ's love for me and as a way to lead others to Christ by sharing my testimony.
Bryce Warrington Sir, you have been deceived by Jefferson Bethke into doing Witchcraft. Tattoos are connected to the occult through Shamanism and Bloodletting. For truth about tattoos please look up Tattoos: Making an agreement with the devil? By Pastor David Williams.God Bless
dj13calli First off, I am a girl not a "sir". Secondly, I am not being deceived into "witchcraft". Thanks for your concern, but I have a solid relationship with Jesus Christ and I believe the same as what Jefferson Bethke has spoken in the video. But its okay, you can believe what you want to. I know what I believe and will stand on it.
Also, do you not have anything better to do than post on everyone's comments on this video?
Bryce Warrington I'm just letting you know that tattoos are demonic and you are opening up yourself for unclean spirits to enter through Shamanism and Bloodletting. Jeff is not a Pastor and does not cast demons out of people.
Tattoos are blood covenants made with demonic spirits.
1 Corinthians 3:16-17
God Bless
dj13calli I rebuke that.
I have not opened up myself for "unclean spirits". I'm sure there are people who have gotten tattoos for the wrong reasons, demonic ones even, and idolize them.
My tattoo is not that. It is an act of worship and an everyday reminder of my testimony and how Jesus saved me. So do not tell me that it is demonic.
Bryce Warrington Getting a tattoo itself is apart of witchcraft. So God will not accept it.
(John 4:24)
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Most people go to Leviticus 19:28 where it says, You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks upon you: I am the LORD. But then some will use Leviticus 19:27 which says,You shall not shave around the sides of your heads, neither shall you disfigure the corners of your beard.
Some say that well if we cant tattoo ourselves then we cant shave our beard either. True and good point. The main Question we should ask ourselves is How will tattooing my body benefit me? WWJD? THINK ABOUT THAT. We, as Christians should follow Jesus' footsteps.
It may not benefit you, but it may benefit somebody else. A pastor running a youth group for inner-city kids may find having tattoos to be an incredible ministery tool.
I'm not exactly religious but just because it doesn't fully benefit and it is completely unnecessary, it is more of a self expression. I'm not really sure what religion I am but whether I was a Christian or an Atheist I would want to get tattoos and piercings because its my way of self expressing myself. Its just like wearing a certain brand of clothing or shoes, its self expressing and showing what you think about that. Its also like liking a type of music, you love the music, like I like metal and post hardcore and heavier music so I listen to that and wear the band merch to express the music that I love. Even though the tattoo is permanent, its just a way to self express.
Thank you for putting this argument into context for me. I really enjoyed your point of view but also you educated and studied argument based on scripture.
Without the tattoo, are you gonna forget you're forgiven and loved?
This has made me feel a lot better about getting a tattoo in a few weeks. It's the words "Ad Astra Per Aspera" meaning to the stars through difficulties, representing that no matter what difficulties i go through in life, as long as I stay on the path of God, I'll one day be in the stars (heaven). I have struggled with the idea of it being a sin for the past year and I've prayed about it a lot. I know now I can walk into the tattoo shop with a clear conscience.
I need this in Spanish to show my mom and dad and grandparents. !!!! Love this ! God bless you and I pray God keeps guiding you to preach the word of God.
INTRODUCTION
The entire Christian journey has one goal of Christianity, which is to be born again in Jesus Christ and be formed unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive.
Therefore, the attention and our vocation and profession in Christ was not directed toward the desires of our flesh or carnal or worldly things, which is the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life 1John 2:15-17. For to be carnally minded is death. Rom 8:1-14
THE DECEPTION
The deception of the Devil by Polished sleek- tongued fellow and subtle agencies, like the serpent of Genesis 3, is to reason away the Word of God from the supernatural or spiritual to appealing to the flesh or carnal mind. The devil resides in the flesh of man(see the works of the flesh Gal. 5:19-21)
We are not under Levitical Era of Law but we are under Grace in Christ who fulfilled the law; tattoo was never part of HIM or what HE gave to us. HE gave unto us HIS LIFE, The HOLYGHOST, by purchasing our redemption and translating us into a new KINGDOM. And in the account of the works and life of the HOLYGHOST in the Apostles and Disciples, TATTOO was never in there because their lives were focused in the Kingdom of (Christ)Heaven. Col.3:1-11.
Misquoted/Misapplied Scriptures:
Leviticus 19:28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.
Cuttings in the flesh alone was referred to the dead here but the marks or tattoos was never to be done at all let alone being dedicated to the dead.
Revelation 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
THE QUESTION TO ASK THE SATAN'S ORATOR IS:
Was Jesus's thigh not covered by His VESTURE COVERING? Maybe from HIS Waist down was exposed to see the TATTOOs in them.
Revelation is a book of signs and symbols and metaphors.
PLEASE, DO NOT BE DECEIVED BY PEOPLE OWN VIEW. You got to know God for you . You need that personal relationship with God not someone else's
Set your affections on things above not on things in the earth.
That's good stuff brother! I totally believe the same way! Well done brother. Keep it up and God bless!
I ALMOST CRYED WHEN I FOUND THIS !!!! I have been looking for something like this for so long AMEN and thank you
Just one verse I want to quote: Romans 6:13 "Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God".
You can’t judge his tattoo, how would you like it if I judged your evil looking JEZEBEL lipstick? Exactly. You haven’t given your lips over to God huh??”” Seee how dumb it is how you nitpick that verse with.
@@onmypath607 That makeup is a sin aswell
Its definitely a wisdom and understanding issue! Christians always misinterpret the own bible! Thats because someone else was taught the misinterpretation and they pass it down. Then we fuss and fight and we suppose to be a "holy" nation. I love the way jeff breaks it down and does it to include everyone and not one view! Good one jeff
Jeff is wrong.
Mike Reyes Come back?? What are you talking about? lol
dj13calli YOU ARE WRONG FOR BEING JUDGMENTAL. Who are you to interpret the bible and preach what you believe to be true? If you'd read the whole section of 1 John 6:19,20 (1 John 6:12-20) you'd realize it's about SEX, NOT tattoos!
Dodi Ellis LOL I'm wrong for speaking the truth?
1. 1 John 6:12-20 does not exist in the bible.
2. 1 John 2:12-20 or 1 Corinthians 6:12-20 is not only referring to just sex. Roman 12:1-2 says the exact same thing. You need to understand what tattoos are. What is its purpose.
3. Tattoos are not of God. lol Learn the origin of Tattoos.
4. Matthew 7:1-5
5. Have a nice day. :)
A lot of the misunderstanding of the Bible is due to the fact that it was written I think about 2-3 thousand years ago (you can correct me if I'm wrong) and in Hebrew (I don't believe it was all in Hebrew but I think the Old Testament was mostly Hebrew) the Bible has been translated into so many different languages over and over again many of these languages don't been have the right words to match how the Bible was originally written
OMG THIS IS JEFF FROM THE DVD! I DIDNT KNOW HE HAD A CHANNEL! YESSSS
Jefferson, I'll be praying for your revelation.
These are all opinions, not law. Don't take this to heart guys. If you want a tattoo, get one.
***** Tattoos are spiritual covenants made with demons. Mark 5:1-20 explains how unclean spirits urges us to cut ourselves. Also, tattoos originated from Demonism, Shamanism, Paganism, Mysticism, Heathenism, and many other pagan beliefs. Tattoos are demonic and God doesn't want us cutting our flesh and mutilating our bodies. (1 Corinthians 3:16-17)
For Truth about how dangerous tattoos are spiritually, please look up Tattoos: Making an agreement with the devil? By Pastor David Williams.
Don't Get Tattoos, Demons manifest through them by Dr. Bree Keyton
Are Tattoos Sinful? Shamanism and Demonic Blood Covenants by Pastor Mike Connell.
God Bless
I'm glad you're a Christian, man, but I honestly couldn't disagree more. I know people who have tats, even one's like you have, and they say it was a mistake. The verses you gave about the meat were pretty much erased later when, I think it was Paul, said it was OK, and the Bible is always careful to make sure that whenever it replaces something, it's specific. So specific, that the example of meat and other things you gave were clearly erased whereas the tattooing was not. Now the fact that it had roots in paganism should send alarms off. "Be ye holy, for I am holy." So if you're supposed to be sanctified, and separate, why do something with roots in heavy paganism? Another thing is after you're saved, your body doesn't belong to you, it belongs to God. So let's say that you see the house you used to have, right? Well if you spray paint it, that's considered vandalism because it doesn't belong to you. So if you "Spray paint" the temple of God, how is that not vandalism? You're body doesn't even belong to you after you're saved... so tattoos are, in essence to a saved person, vandalism. The 1 Corinthians verse you gave also implies not defiling yourself. Now granted, it was talking about sexual relations not conforming to God's will, but it can still be applied to tattoos, just like 1 Peter 3:3-4 can be applied as well. Take a look at what it says.
"3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price."
So obviously there, it's talking about the apparel of women, but it may be able to be applied to other issues. Take a look. (Note, this is from gotquestions.org)
"Granted, this passage is directed at Christian women, but there is a principle here that may be apropos: namely, a person’s external appearance should not be the focus of our attention. Much effort goes into “elaborate hairstyles” and “fine clothes” and jewelry, but that’s not where a woman’s true beauty lies. In the same way, tattoos and body piercings are “outward adornment,” and we should be careful to give more effort to the development of the “inner self,” regardless of our gender."
I think that is very well said. I have voiced my opinion, and now am done. If anybody (Christians who hold the position of the video poster specifically) want to voice an argument or rebuttle to my comment, I am open to friendly debate.
+Brutus the bull terrier (Andrew) Brother, you are 100% correct. Please understand that tattooing the body is very ancient and there is a reason why God told the Israelites not to get them. There is also a reason why people get addicted to getting them. Tattoos are very spiritual and can invite unclean spirits into the person's life.
TruthAboutTattoos Not just that, but when you go to a tattoo parlor, you are entering a very secular place. It would only make sense that if you meet Godly people in Godly places, you meet secular people in secular places, correct? Also, let's say for example, you're an atheist, and you're looking for a "practical" reason not to get a tattoo. OK, much like with many other sinful practices, you can get blood transmitted diseases from the infected needles used to inject the ink for the tattoo into the body. So even from a worldly sense, tattoos JUST DON'T MAKE SENSE. Oh yeah, get one to look cool, 60 years down the road, you think it was a dumb decision, you can't even remember what it looked like originally, and, oh, by the way, you might get a disease. I don't understand the logic behind that.
Brutus the bull terrier Again you're right. You can look at it from a lot of angles, but people just don't want to see the truth. They rather spend 6 hours explaining why its ok for them to do it, when they cant even pick a scripture to support them. (Sigh) Lord help them.
Before I start... you really hate this guy xD I mean, starting your sentence with: "I'm glad you're a Christian", is like a dad saying, I'm glad you followed your dream and became a street sweeper. Okay...now... true, the bible did clear things up specifically, but isn't the entire old testament wiped away? I mean, Jesus IS the new testament and there in only one testament we live by today. Love, truth, relationship with Him, forgiveness, etc. So all of these arguments are mute... And now ok, that verse about "not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair" etc. is a good point... but then why do you buy big name brands? Nike, Maxed, Rolex, etc.? Same argument. All are used for outward apparel. A tattoo is mostly used as a way to show people a aspect of your life that you don't want to hide. Like how a Football supporter would wear his team's jersey, etc.
@@ultr0shot440 So not rue Matthew 5:17 Jesus makes it very clear the he did not come to abolish (do away with) the law but to fulfill the law meaning don’t disregard the things that God warned his people about in the Old Testament take heed to them but also follow Jesus because he is the only one who is able to live up to God standards and if Jesus were here today he would not get a tattoo and neither should we
Wow, the ending of this video was really powerful for me God just Pearced my heart. Praise God and keep up the amazing videos.
So first thing I want to say is that each person has the freedom to make their own choices and their choices will differ on where they are in their walk with God and we must be compassionate and graceful towards one another.
Also I want to say that the overall impression this video gives me is how passionately you defend something that is important to you, and how you are justifying it. Which I think all of us had done or do in regards to some things when it comes to give up something we are really into. You explain how the verses that condemn tattoos are taken out of context. and yes context is super important when it comes to scripture. but, not all verses are solely linked to the context of what is said in that same chapter. everything is interrelated. once you start knowing God and understanding who He is, the same verse would have deeper meaning and you would have more insight about it, that is how God speaks to us through the Word.
The example you give about sexual immorality, obviously the concept of our body being our temple and belonging to God and not us, does not apply solely to that. It is the reason for many other things that we should or shouldn’t do, like, smoke, do drugs, we should have the best diet possible to be healthy, exercise, etc, in order to take care of it the best way possible. With that also comes the concept of marking your body with tattoos, piercings, scarring, etc. Even if nowadays tattoos don’t represent someone being pagan, it’s because it has become such a big part of our culture. A LOT of pagan traditions are front and center in our lives, which is the result of the devil getting us to worship him and to partake into practices that are ungodly. even if we are not aware of it. which doesn’t really justify it because it is our job as Christians to know what God is about! It is also important, when doing a certain practice to find the origin of it. It says a lot about if it comes from the enemy or our Creator. And fyi there is no way that Jesus has a tattoo. We need to understand when symbolism is used and would be also a good thing to understand what it means. same thing as people who will have the mark of the beast won’t actually have a mark on their actual forehead.
so let’s just take be careful before promoting something that will be labeled unsinful just for our own desires of the flesh and of the influance the world has on us and because we have a hard time not to partake in it.
I was having this argument with a fellow Christian and I agree that him along with others were justifying it relish in their wants of the world. But I just have a feeling it’s still a sin. I understand the passage and it regarding to the dead and paganism. But I think it’s a sin to cut into our flesh under any circumstance including tattooing. And I also believe the act of tattooing in general have to do with paganism.
@@Ashlae_33 What about cutting into flesh for something like life saving surgery or C-sections? Not trying to be cynical or anything, just curious
I highly agree with you! It's so sad that most people are being fooled by promoting that a sin isn't a sin just because for their sake. People mislead others by saying that you're being misled and keep on misleading them. And finally, evil does what it wants to do through them. They claim that others are not correctly reading and comprehending the scriptures, but they fail to recognize that they themselves do not comprehend. Sometimes, they don't know what they're saying or doing!
that's the problem too many people try to justify getting a tattoo to suit their agenda but the Lord said no and the Lord meant no
I so agree with you so he shouldn't have any excuses
Amen
Then what about wearing clothing of two different materials. Or piercings, or cutting your hair? to which the lord also says no in leviticus
No is no n thats final a God is not a man in which he should be mocked
Reeco Stewart Context is very important when dealing with those scriptures, like cutting the hair in Leviticus is talking about a Pagan practice called a Tonsure.
God loves you no matter what, tattoos or no tattoos, he is just glad you living the life as it is. As long as you are happy it's all good, that's what he wants.
Tattoos are a sin and those who have them or those who are getting them as Born again Christians needs to repent and ask the Lord to break those spiritual blood covenants in the name of Jesus. Demons are usually connected to tattoos and we must make that clear for our brothers and sisters in Christ. Repent! and continue living for Jesus for his honor and glory. (1 Peter 5:8) (Ephesians 5:11)God Bless.
TruthAboutTattoos You forget something very clear, what Jesus forces in every living being on our beautiful earth is, he loves everyone, no matter of tattoos, if you take that love from me, and what Jesus loves me, then you have something to answer infront of him. Yes I have tattoos, most of the show my love and dislike. But you can NEVER say that Jesus ain't love another being. If you do, really belive that everyone with a tattoo getting punished, then take a lot of lives to hell from Earth, but that won't happen. So either you love, love your fellow beings, as Jesus do, or it will be you that stands for an answer.
TruthAboutTattoos What you say is not from the Jesus words at all. And yes, you should look how humans goes further, Jesus knows every thing that happens, but he would NEVER punish anything. What you saying is that, everyone that has a Tattoo making a sin, can you imagine how many that are (In your belief) getting punished? No it won't happen, so let that talk about tattoos go away.
TruthAboutTattoos And for the third, when you and me die, we will the option to take Jesus in his hands, and walk to heaven. What you explain totaly is a God and Son, who just reject souls just for the stake of because..... Yes, im mad because of how you pointing fingers, that Jesus never wanted or Jesus father. You are the one that will stand in answers. Because you can't push a lot of souls that has love in them, to Lucifer, just as you feeling for it. Think about that for a while will you.
Sorry Jefferson, but this kind of people, is the ones that must think before talking. Sorry J, so sorry. But he says that people with tattoos doesn't have the spirit of God.
While i was in the process of being saved i did a half sleeve on my hand and i do not regret it. I go into church with it showing and i have repent for sins. I am female, i have tattoos, i am young and i am loved by God.
Do you support tattoos?
Truth About Tattoos obviously if she doesn’t regret her tattoos
Bodied I wanted her to answer.
The says you shall know them by their fruits and tattoos are not of God. So something is wrong with that. Sounds like a false conversion.
If you don't regret you didn't repent.
Psalm 139:14
I will praise thee for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvellous are thy works and that my soul knoweth right well.
(we shouldn't put ink on our bodies, just be thankful of the way GOD made you!!)
Why are people freaking out over this topic? Jesus also said not to commit adultery, but a lot still do. Tattoos have the same impact as the sins we make throughout our daily lives, there's no difference .
Julissa Balderas Witchcraft and Adultery are too different sins that can invite demons.
Jesus does not want us sinning and if we do sin, we repent and continue living for him.
If you were born again means Christ lives in you. Can a demon or possession then happen if the Spirit lives in you? What fellowship can light have with darkness in a person who has been washed in the blood? And all though a Christian is tempted for the length of his days, the day he committed his life, he was saved from the penalty of sin and is given renewed mercy and grace to overcome the power of sin. Demons have no place in a true believer and if a "believer" is indeed possessed, one has to wonder what he truly believes in. Wherefore take on the whole armor of God wherewith ye shall be able to stand against the wicked one in the evil day, having done all to stand.
JABEL GEORGE MATHEW 12BCE0606 A Christian can manifest a demon or be oppressed by a demon, but no a Christian can't be possessed if they have the Holy Spirit.
Christians get delivered from demons all the time.
I have known more than one professing believer who were demon possessed *and* had the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. yes, it does happen. i don't know why people make blanket statements that it can't happen because they think it's a contradiction. and the verses they use to claim it's a contradiction are not the same context as what they try to use it (fellowship of light with darkness). The fellowship of light and darkness verses are speaking about marriage between a believer and unbeliever, not about a believer being demon possessed.
The ones freaking out are the ones who have tatoos or want one but are finding out they are in sin if they get it or some of us are like" you get it and your going to have an issue on judgement day
Its kind of sad to see all the negative comments put out for this guy sharing the truth. First off Love each other, "love" i have read over 20 comments critiquing him. Now that's a lot of hypocrisy right there and you know who you are. God will not sit on his thrown and judge you for your tattoo. Yes if its no honoring him he will, but for all those people out there that are complaining and judging people over a video like this, Read the book of James it wont take you very long at all, understand it and use it in your life when treating others and respecting and loving others, for saying hes a "false prophet" and completely judging him, that is wrong. For God looks at our hearts and sees if we are glorifying him with our life. Turn this issue to the heart and look at the context. clearly most of the people that have commented on this probably never read Any... i say again.. any of what scripture has to say about this. In today's culture people try to attack other brothers and sisters in Christ with scripture before they ever know the full context of it. please i ask to love eachother and act like the followers of Christ you claim to be.
He is not speaking the truth, that is the problem. Also, what he is doing is dangerous and can hurt people spiritually. Galatians 6:1.
Unfortunately no sorry my friend but its the people like you that are dangerous and are the reason why people are lead astray from Christ, You dont look at the context of scripture then you go out and attack and persecute fellow believers of the Lord with scripture in an unhealthy way without knowing what is really saying, then you sit online and wait for someone to say something that doesn't line up with what YOU believe. But in reality you dont know what you're doing or saying, in fact you probably dont dive into the word regularly to identify what is being said in scripture. What he said is right from scripture... right from it and you're sitting there saying nope not true, so you're denying what scripture says if you really wanna talk about not speaking truth. But hey when He returns and we stand before him, he will see where our hearts were at, he will judge and see how we were living and loving others and for glorifying him with our lives, I have a tattoo of Jesus on my arm and the word agape right next to him. i didnt get them for a false god. i got them for my Lord and savior and so when someone sees them they will ask me whos that on your arm and boom thats an opportunity for a seed to be planted in their life and to be able to share the gospel with them. And believe it or not but there are people in this world who are BLESSED with gifts of the spirit and use them in their lives, especially the gift of healing, and they my friend have tattoos and look at the context and think the same way as jeff and more than half of today's Christians think about tattoos. In the end if you really still feel compelled to criticizes others like i said before read the book of James. God Bless you and i encourage you to encourage people with the love of our Lord and Savior not bring them down. Even if you think you're right when maybe are wrong and vice versa in the end God will be the one who decides.
I m a believer of Christ too.. But the God I know is different from what u say... You can take a verse and make people believe they did wrong but what about the context that Jesus was referring to when he said those scriptures... I think Jesus would be devastated n angry with the kind of burden n garbage is thrown on people these days in d name of Jesus
Right, like homophobia, sexism, ect. Love your neighbour as yourself. Love covers a multitude of sins. But without love, you are nothing
I love this, THANK YOU !!
Do not be deceived by this video dear sister in Christ. Tattoos are spiritually dangerous and connected to the devil.
Dont listen to false prophets that tell you not to get a tattoo. They are more concerned with THEIR OWN agenda than the truth. Tattoos will not lead you to a life of sin...dont let people control you. Enjoy your life and have a great time getting tattooed!!
Personally, Im a Christian, I have 15 tats, and I plan to get more. I have some in remembrance of family members who have passed not to idolize, but to remember, some with bible scripture, my children's names, some that have special meaning to me. You see, we are all sinners, you know that, I know that, God knows that. This video is right on! If taken INTO context, in Revelations, it DOES say Jesus comes back with markings on His thigh. In Leviticus, that was due to their health issues, and agreed, in Cor. it is about sexual immortality. Whether or not tattoos are a sin, is something I believe each Christian should pray about before getting one. I got MOST of mine before becoming a Christian. And the ones I got after, I prayed about. I personally believe that they are not a sin, BUT if you believe they are a sin, dont get one. It is something that is between God and the person who is getting a tattoo, not God and everyone else. My humble opinion on the matter. God bless!
wow.... I never thought to go that deep, rock on!!
Cause, you know, there is no way you would remember those dead people unless you put another mutilating tattoo on your temple, right? Duh! Saying we are all sinners does not excuse sin. The born again believer knows this. Seek the real Jesus, not the one of your imagination.
ShowthyselfApproved
keep judging your RIGHTEOUS judgement, but remember, you will be judged with the same harshment you judge me with. God bless you! You need it! Now, Im dont with YOU. Dont talk to me anymore. And if you do, dont expect a response. I already said Im not arguing with you. Your words are daggers from satan. And I refuse to let them harm me. I know who my LORD is. And you judge me saying I dont know HIM? Yes, words of Satan. I see your words all over this page condemning people. Thinking yourself better than me is no way to live, because no one is better than anyone else. I really HOPE you get right with God before the time comes. As I said, I will pray for you. As I have been. Whether you tell me not to, or not. You do need prayers. Believe it or not... Im not the one lost here.
Halo Rijbroek My words always cut to the quick of those living in sin ONLY when I speak the truth of God. That truth burns your soul and convicts you of sin and you hate that. All sinners do. You so easily lie saying I think myself better. I am not better but am better off because of Jesus Christ. Dude, if you embrace the evils of tattoos and are not convicted by the Holy Spirit that it is wrong, then I guarantee you are lost. The Lord is the good Shepard Who always convicts His sheep when they are sinning. You have no such conviction despite all the scriptures that tell you not to be like the world, that you are supposed to be a new creature, born again.... you are just playing religion to make yourself feel better as you stumble along in darkness headed for that terrible day when you realize your error.
ShowthyselfApproved Since you choose to "throw stones", I take it you are without sin....
its just the wrong understanding...
only Jesus can explain it to man who is in blind, through holy spirit.
thanks!
@Campbell Koschei wow lol 😂what kind compassionate words
@Campbell Koschei you need Jesus. What are you even doing here? Mocking? Scoffing?
Campbell Koschei prophecies are what may be. Not what should be.
God has blessed you with the ability to teach others. Thankyou for sharing your love of jesus.💜
I actually have a pro life tattoo, and I've even been asked if it's a club stamp!
It means ALOT to me as I wasnt supposed to be born! Her docs as shes told me, tried to get her to have an abortion when only about 2 months pregnant with me! She refused obvs and walked out saying her faith was stronger then them saying I'd never walk, talk, be "normal" (each person's diff in ways so I dont believe in their "normal") they even said I'd never have friends! They thought I'd died in my mum! Then i was told by my doc when I was a teen (I'd been having ALOT of issues so went to see her, and after tests, I was told that I was basically messed up beyond any kinda repair, so I'd never have kids. Well I do. I prayed to God down to how she'd look, and more, and God was far too kind as I do have a beautiful kid now, sadly my kiddo doesn't believe at all, but I hope and have prayed to Him and Jesus that someday my kiddo will! My sibling doesnt and acts as they do to where they, well, it's not a good thing sadly but that's never for me to judge, not my place, only He is allowed to do such!
My Ancestors were Pagan actually, but me- I believe, I'm Spiritual and believe in Him for my reasons.
Arigato for many of your vids and what you say in them! It makes me feel quite better!
Why do you need tattoos to be reminded that you are forgiven and loved? The actions of Jesus should be the only reminder that you need.
Amen.
people that have not found god will tattoo themselves for other to see what they been through or to loom cool.. which i dont see but nasty ink over your skin.
Clover Vue Amen
Paul Harris it's to show others that you are a Christian and your not ashamed of it.
Jongwon Park The Bible says you shall know them by their fruits, not tattoos. God doesn't want us harming ourselves, that's not biblical.
Don't read the comment section guys! There are grown up people talking about demons and stuff, save your neurons and run for your life!!!
So well put. loved this video
My brother in Christ told me the same thing u said when I gave my life to Christ. I’m covered in them when I was in the world and when I got saved I got one tattoo after because my favorite scripture is Matthew 6:33 so I was moved by God to put it on my arm and now I don’t see my worldly tattoos but only am reminded daily of my scripture on my arm. I agree with u on this topic because I never heard this until my brother in Christ said the same thing your sayin so I know what you are saying is truth because it was confirmed by 2 people
I don't agree with this video. If it's a topic that we are unsure if it's a sin. Why not keep away from it?
Exactly, but in all truth, it is a sin. Tattoos are linked to the occult and open people up for demonic possession and oppression through bloodletting. Tattoos are also apart of Shamanism which is witchcraft. God Bless.
Nice to see a Christian that actually studies scripture. But it still doesn't do anything about a core problem with the Bible.
NO ONE CAN INTERPRET THAT THING PROPERLY.
LOL I was literally going to put that scripture of Revelation on here because you are on point
Tattoos are not sinful it’s sinful if it’s a satanic meaning
I think your excuse for your 2 tattoos is very poor. You don't need a tattoo to tell you your forgiven and loved.
And you're trying to be over specific. So what you're saying is internal graffiti is not OK but external graffiti is?
The words 'millstone' and 'bottom of the sea' come to mind.
I have a tat - that I got before I discovered the scripture was against it.
I would never have another - nor would I try to justify having one much less preach it's ok to have one.
I will pray for you.
Bless ♡
Chris Bevan Amen Brother! Please Check out Are Tattoos Sinful? Shamanism and Demonic Blood Covenants by Pastor Mike Connell. It will explain everything and how dangerous tattoos are.
God Bless
God Bless ♡
God bless u no matter what u are. Only God can give u the love u cant believe he can give. People are the lawyer of their own mistakes, but very good judges for the mistakes of others.
A friend of mine turned me onto you...I am so thankful she did 💜 Thank you so much for your words. They reach my heart and my soul.
Alison Perkins Please do not be deceived, this video is terribly wrong and didn’t even speak on the spiritual side of tattoos such as bloodletting and Shamanism.
Our Bodies are THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT - GOD HIMSELF.
Self explanatory, shouldn't even need to ask that question. People just love to justify their sin.... Think about it.... Do you really think that God would condone us tattooing our bodies up? How does that Glorify God? IT DOESN'T.... worldly, ignorant people... man... You need to seek God, seek truth, seek wisdom - those who are lacking in ANYTHING seek God and ask of Him and He will give it abundantly! Seek Wisdom, and understanding of God's Word, cause honey, you ain't got none... Sorry to be so frank..
Explain this then miss know it all, super wise, holy and perfect...REVELATION 19:16 "And on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS." KING JAMES BIBLE
He is changing the world with his ministry, God is using him greatly, and what are you doing? Sitting at home judging him, oh and I bet you have earings on right now lol smh. Why don't you upload some videos preaching and allow the whole world to hear it and let ignorants pick you apart and bash you?!? God is using him to change the world, what are you doing to change the world? Im not saying youre not, but comments like this make me sick. Sorry if I was too frank.
Daniela Flores
I will tell you the same thing. ASK GOD for wisdom, discernment, and understanding of HIS WORD because you don't have any either. The problem is not whether this man is doing anything to so-called "change the world" (look around, he isnt doing a great job of that anyway), the problem comes when so-called "Christians" tell people it is okay to sin.
You cannot actually sit there and tell me you believe that the verse in Rev that you qouted is talking about Jesus having a freaking tattoo. Please tell me you are not that ignorant. Get Holy Ghost understanding from God, not your carnal mind.
Comments like mine make you mad? Videos where SO CALLED CHRISTIANS telling other Christians it is okay to sin, to live in sin, to love your sin and some how glorify God with your sin PISS ME OFF to no end.
I never once claimed that I was holy or whatever you said, that is your assumption. I am a sinner just like any other person, but I don't tell people it is okay to sin and that you can somehow glorify God with your sin.
And no thank you, I do not preach, but I Have every right to speak my mind against LIARS and people who would distort and make err of God's Word!
Daniela Flores
Hosea 4:6 "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee....."
Anyone that seeks to change GOD'S HOLY WORD and manipulate HIS PEOPLE are following their father the devil. Being a teacher is a tricky thing... must be careful what you teach others, you will be judged by God for what you cause others to do. Its not something to play around with.
And I am sure you are some snippy Zionist church goer that follows man made traditions rather than God's Word. Seeing that you obviously can't understand what it says.....
Well, as you saw on his wrists it said words that were used to GLORIFY GOD. Is that a sin? Marking yourself for the glory of the Lord? According to your statement, it is. I think what Blake was trying to say was meaningless tattoos aren't a sin, but they are not a sin. He said when we do want to permanently mark our bodies, we should ask ourselves the purpose and does it glorify God. And if your statement is true, and tattoos are a sin, we put bad foods into our bodies, I don't see us questioning that our bodies are the temple of the Lord when we eat a cheeseburger.
Robbie Johnson Please see the video I posted in my last comment to that other person. Tattoo's are not just about "marking up your body"... there is spiritual signification behind getting tattoos.
And why is eating a cheeseburger bad for your body? Last I checked the bible said that ALL food is good for you if it be recieved with thanksgiving and prayer..... so you wanna try that again?
Besides that, we should TRY to eat healthy food that will do our bodies good. And I see nothing wrong with eating beef. I personally try to eat all organic foods, as well as organic grass fed beef, chicken, etc... though I know that is not available to a lot of people. But again, if it is recieved with prayer and thanksgiving, it is not bad for you - as the bible states...
God is love.
With your explanation of tattoo now I am enlightened . ❤️
I'm sorry if this video leads you to think this is ok but the Bible is clear.
Please read the whole chapter.
Out of about 25 commands found in Leviticus 19, 20 are moral laws.
V11 talks about stealing and lying.
V17 talks about hating your brother which Jesus himself taught was morally wrong.
Leviticus 19:26-31 deal with the occult.
Jeff twist verse 26 to say God commanded the Israelites not to eat Meat. Yet any simple study of Jewish culture shows they were not vegetarians - Not even the Levites were!!!
26 Ye shall not eat anything with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.
He never mentions that this verse contains commands against enchantments because that would hurt his argument!
V26 - enchantments
V27- commands against rounding of the head (self mutilation)
V28 - cutting and tattoos
v29 Commands against prostitution
V31 - Commands against sorcery
We can easily see that the TRUE context of Leviticus 19:28 is not civil commands but moral commands against witchcraft, Enchantments, self-mutilation and Prostitution!
Even if we only examine verse 28 we can see Jeff twisting the Scriptures. He claims that God commands against tattoos for the dead- yet read verse 28.
28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, NOR print ANY marks upon you: I am the Lord.
In verse 28 God has two commands
1- cutting flesh for the dead
2- ANY printed mark (tattoos)
Interestingly as Jeff tries to justify tattoos with the "for the dead" clause this clause is directly applied to cutting.
So He is actually justifying cutting your wrist as long as it is not for the dead.
The ONLY way a Christian could say Tattoos are morally OK would be to say the SAME of cutting.
Even if we ignore all this 1 Cor. 3:16,17 tells us we are the temple of God.
Completely agree with everything said in this video. I wish I had seen it a while ago. I have a few tattoos, and plan to have more (I would never get one that is immoral or offensive in any way). But everytime I get one, I make sure that it was well thought out. My current tattoos are for my kids. A butterfly for my oldest (butterfly kisses were her favorite when she was super little, lily flowers for my twins (lily's are my fave flower), and the congenital heart disease for my boy.. I also have the words "perfectly imperfect" on my ribs. Each and every one of my tattoos has deep meaning to me and I won't be made to regret them..
There's no loop hole, Thous shall not scar tattoo or mark your body. You either obey God or you don't. Make your choice.
@@darthvaderoftheredpill5196 you sin everyday so who are you to judge
What if you're wrong about that? You might have just written your own ticket to hell directly on your wrists
And if you regret and ask for forgivness?
Eivind Lovund
Still hell.
We're talking about someone who will send bears to maul children, force rape victims to marry their rapists and sets guidelines on how to beat your slave... you think he's going to have a second thought for your "regret" after you planned to break his rules?
poidial If you believe in the basic gospel(john 3:16, eph. 2:8-9, 1 John 5:13), you should not be afraid that any sin will cause you to go to hell. This should not be an excuse to sin more. In fact, it should make you sin less since you have forgiveness to rejoice in a Savior to love.
@poidial - Consider Romans 8:38-39: For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
While I completely understand where you're coming from about tattoos (in fact, I don't wear tattoos myself), I still think that the love Christ has for us can overpower any ink on our skin. This is why I agree with Jefferson Bethke about it being a knowledge issue.
loveskating3
Why is there a big book going to great lengths to define all the sins, if sins are not important?
Saw the "Jesus > Religion" years ago, and loved it. I guess I'm late to the party because I'm just now stumbling onto this channel! LOL! More great videos! Just adding my comment to this discussion: I respect the light-hearted spirit of the vid, and the "call" for civil, intellectual discussion...Not much of that online anymore. That being said... I somewhat disagree with the perspective on this topic. Many tattoos and their parlors have a somewhat occult vibe. Don't know what it is exactly, but there's just a discernment in the Spirit. Tattoos, also, tend to be for "show" and don't represent a meek and humble spirit, which we are called to model. In addition to this, we are all made in the image and likeness of God. We're His "babies" built in His spitting image! Not even the angels can put forth that claim! Why should we then PERMANENTLY alter this amazing image? Can we conceive some form of artwork to improve what God has done? In (1 Corinthians 10:23) Paul states: "All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not." Now I understand the context for the entire passage, and this verse would still be very appropriate for this situation; and is applicable to us while under the New Covenant of grace. The old Levitical laws and statutes were akin to city ordinances, and are like a "Best Practices" list for all of God's people to live by. Most of them are still good for US (Job - what can man profit God?), and we won't be any WORSE off if we abide by them. These statutes were written by the Hebrew leadership and were good to have an orderly people, as well as to be distinguished / separate from the "world." Jesus supersedes the dogma and legalism of those enforcing these endless statutes, while yet leaving the Commandments given to Moses intact. Those laws were written in the stone tablets by God Himself as our spiritual "mirror," and will stand forever. Amen... Thus, we can wear items of various materials and eat bacon, but we still TRY to not steal, kill, etc... But the main point is this: Although grace has made all of these ordinances "legal," they are still good for us and therefore "expedient." In my humble understanding, we should try to avoid tattoos. But either way, I know we can agree on the fact that Christ made it possible for all of us believers (flaws and all) to be in His presence forever! Be blessed, and keep pumping out HIT videos!
For Lack Of Knowledge You're very right about tattoos being apart of the occult or having that vibe, that is because it is.
Tattoos are known to be apart of witchcraft through cutting the flesh, bloodletting, and Shamanism which can invite spirits. As Christians those who have tattoos should repent in the name of Jesus.
God Bless
it wud be nice if your theology was correct doctrine. however so many Scriptures in both the old and new testaments teach 'blessed are those who *do* his commandments. and to love God is to obey His commandments. God places a lot more weight on obedience than our 'Christian culture does. I think there are 4 or 5 verses in the last chapter alone that refer to actions or doing or keeping His commandments. our works are very important to Him. more important than 'sloppy "Grace Christianity" admits'. commandments are commands. they are not best practices. a doctrine that calls His commandments 'best practices' is a luke-wark, watered down 'Christianity' that is fit to be thrown out. Jesus said whoever *does* His commandments, that is practices them is like a man wto builds his house on the rock. but the man who does not *do* them is like a man that builds his house on the sand. dude, enjoy your house with a sand foundation while it lasts, because ur house is going to get washed away. i'm only a brother who cares enuf to share with you the truth that the Word teaches us.
grace has *not* made murder legal. nor any commandment that God told His people not to do. any doctrine claiming such is a doctrine from demons, according to the Bible. the ten commandments include keeping the Sabbath day holy. commandments that didn't make it into the '10 commandments' also command some things, and prophecy in the last chapter of Zechariah teach us that God will hold 'all nations' accountable to keep one specific teaching (that your Bible translation probably mistranslates as a 'law'). Please do read the last chapter of Zechariah (14) and pray that you aren't one who will fall under that curse. it's real. this teaches us that God doesn't retract this 'law' (correct translation is a 'love teaching'). this is in direct contrast to what popular 'Christian' teachers teach. but they will reap the curse. they don't study to show themselves approved. :(
amen amen amen. Praise the most high. You have spoken well.
I wanna get a tattoo when I’m eighteen. My mom had the same tattoo done before she passed away. It was just a simple doodle of waves with the text Isaiah 43:2. She got it after a ton of stuff happened to our family and I keep looking back to it after she died. It helps remind me that God will be with me in whatever I go through, so I want that on my body so I can look at it real quick and feel His presence.
You've seriously helped me so much 💜 thank you for making these videos! You explain things so well... I'm blessed to have found you and your channel 😁
It give me great joy to see you have discerned correctly the truth my sister I'm so sick of religious spirits it's time that we share the true Gospel justification by faith in Christ. In its context this scripture is clear
Isaiah 49:15 Can a mother forget the baby at her breast
and have no compassion on the child she has borne?
Though she may forget,
I will not forget you!
