IF I HAD A TATOO THIS IS THE VERSE I WOULD HAVE.whats yours ?

[mrhappy3]

17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.


Mine in the bold bit.


All those that don't believe in tatoo's can still post - if you like !

 

[K2K]

Humm - I think there is a verse saying not to have tatoo's.

I'm not trying to get religious, and I certainly don't think a tatoo means loosing your salvation or anything like that, but it seems wierd to want verses put on you when there is a verse that seems to say not to.

 

[mrhappy3]

Good point.

Its Leviticus 19: 28.

Lev 19: 27 says: "Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard. "

I guess we have to follow that, too!?

Surely, we are beyond all that law stuff now!

I like what was behind MrHappy's thread - which verse we would like to permanently be associated with?

Two come to mind for me - I think they are both profound - in Matt 11 Jesus said "come to me ... for I am gentle and humble at heart ... you will find rest for your soul." I think thats a bit long.

The other: "Jesus stopped ... ". I think it could be a good conversation started.

A tattoo?
Hope you mean a fake one because such a long text hurts. If I had to take a real one mine would be:

Job 3:2 (NIV)
He said

Otherwise:
I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

Seems kind of long. Where would you place it?

As for me, I've never given it any thought.

some have already stated its law to not mark your body
and stated that if you keep that law ,should you not also keep the others .. and then use such argument as an excuse to do anything it seems .

but you forget .. you have been redeemed by the blood of the lamb of God .
bought back at immeasurable price . your life is not your own and your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit ..

perhaps one should ASK the Holy Spirit ..before one goes tagging and defacing his temple ..yes?

nothing to do with law ..
acknowledge the lord in ALL YOUR WAYS and HE will direct your paths .as to whether you should ink HIS temple at your beck and call or whether you should acknowldeg and OBEY HIM who died for you .

 

[ByTheSpirit]

Ok can we make this less about Mosaic Law and answer the OP... If you want to obey a verse in Deuteronomy then you need to obey all of them, otherwise you're a hypocrite and just as wrong as what you accuse the one with the tattoo of.

Mine after much deliberation I would have to choose between...

To live is Christ
To die is gain

Or...

Love never fails!

So much to choose from though

Obviously we are beyond "all that law stuff" because we are following Jesus Christ, but it is still easier for Heaven and Earth to fall away than one letter of the law. Isn't that because the law was wise rules to consider?

So is it all that wise to have silly hair cuts and lots of perminient tatoo's?

Wisdom wrote the law, perhaps we should consider that. To me, getting Scripture verses tatooed on you is similar to getting your beer mug engraved with a scripture verse. There is nothing saying you can't have a beer but is that really where you want the verse.

Maybe - perhaps there is a good reason? And certainly we don't condeem people for that type of thing. Of course neither are we following the Scriptures, but the Lord and one of His names is Wisdom. So I guess if someone was to write on themselves it should be "I am the Lord's". I think there might be a verse about that. But if God really needed it written into your flesh how He didn't make you with a Scripture verse already in place?

So if He tells you to do it, do it. But still, there is a Scriptures that says not to, so why are we going to do it? We aren't going to do it to show we are not following the law are we?

Perhaps someone does it because they are zealous for the Lord? But if the Scriptures, which were inspired by God, say to not do it, were they hearing from Him in their zealousness? If so, do it. If not, don't.

.

As you say, a permanent association.

Clip your beard, it will grow again. But tattoo yourself and you're stuck with it.

Oftentimes when the laws (will) of God get written on the hearts, something interferes with the translation.

Or you all could get this tattooed on you:

Deuteronomy 21:18-21

18 “If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father or mother and doesn’t listen to them even after they discipline him, 19 his father and mother must take hold of him and bring him to the elders of his city, to the gate of his hometown. 20 They will say to the elders of his city, ‘This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious; he doesn’t obey us. He’s a glutton and a drunkard.’ 21 Then all the men of his city will stone him to death. You must purge the evil from you, and all Israel will hear and be afraid.

Haven't seen or heard of any of you stoning your rebellious children or anyone else's for that matter. Don't pick and choose which parts of the Bible you will support and defend unless you're going to do all of it please

I didn't mean to come across as rude in my last comment. I'm sure I did. Just don't understand how Christians can use that one solitary verse in Deut to say Jesus doesn't want us to have tattoo's, then completely pass over other parts of Deuteronomy because "It's the Law and doesn't apply to us." Well that statement would apply to the "tattoo" verse too
