"wriiten on his hand" - love that one !!
So who do you think wrote it:On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
Seeing this reminded me of when I was in my 20's and before I got saved. My friends use to all go to the clubs and two of them turned up one day with tattoos. They were trying to convince me to get one done but I was having none of it (for the needle reason mentioned earlier ). Anyway had I given in and had one done I would have gone for some sort of flower on a stem... I am getting too old now lol....
I think some of them are nice looking but in scripture, God says "NO".You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD. Leviticus 19:28 New American StandardNow if you believe that this scripture does not apply for today then you must throw out all the other scriptures.
Yes I think it somewhere around Leviticus 19:28 just above the verse where God also tells the children of Israel who were used to the standards of pagan Egypt, not to prostitute their daughters.Isn't there a verse in Leviticus that talks about not having tatoos? Wasn't it like in chapter 19 or something?
Hmmm. That's a bit extreme.
The verse immediately prior says;Leviticus 19:27 (NASB)If this is true, then every Christian should have Elvis Presley sideburns and a scraggly beard to go along with it.
You shall not round off the side-growth of your heads nor harm the edges of your beard.
So God says, (paraphrasing) "Don't cut your sideburns or shave the edge of your beard", yet you don't see people suggesting that if you cut off your sideburns you might as well toss out all of scripture.
Personally, I don't like tattoos and I would never get one. But I think it's pretty selective to pull a scripture like this out to try to impose a restriction on someone else, that is unless you are suggesting that people without sideburns and clean cut beards are in "rebellion" to God as well.
