He most certainly did. On a number of occasions he healed on the sabbath, once even mixeing mud to do it. In response he never said that what he was doing was not work, he instead asked which was better, to not work on the sabbath or heal.
How does it glorify God to not shave your beard or wear cloths made from different materials? The law neither brings glory to God, nor does it save man. Paul told us that the purpose of the law was to show us that we are sinners (Romans 7:7). It is not good to use the law to glorify God because as the writer of Hebrews tells us, the law was only a shadow of what was to come (Hebrews 10:1). Therefore it is better to glorify God not with the shadow but the fullness which we were given To us by the Christ.
The law said what meat we could eat and when and how to worship, but we are told in the new covanent:
"Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ."
(Colossians 2:16-17)
I never said using the law to replace the fullness of christ.
There is no "new covenant". Jesus brought with him a new interpetation of the old.
If just one like your daughter could be saved from getting the same through Godly fellowship on CF, it is worth what it takes to speak in support of God's will on tattoos.I was appalled that my beautiful very fair-skinned daughter--who spent her entire life in Christian daycare and school, graduating at the top of her class last year--got a huge lizard tatoo'd on her lower back after graduation, I suppose to keep up with her fiance, a professional firefighter who got a huge Irish firefighting emblem tatoo'd on his arm.
No, I didn't pass judgement or ridicule her, but did ask her why the lizard! I often thought if I was so led to get a tatoo, I'd opt for the blue and white BMW roundel (Bimmers are my worldly passion).
But the pain and permanency will surely keep me from getting one!
Yes, absolutly. This is the nature of the new covenant.And this is the substance of the new covenant:
I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts.... " Heb 8:10
Well, let's think about this for a moment. The New Covenant is the law of God that will be written on our hearts and in our minds:Now what do you suppose those laws would be and where do you think we might find details of them?
Perhaps BJ you are unaware that the origin of the prophecy is Jeremiah 31:33 at which time the laws that were in place were the Law of Moses.
Because God says He will put My law in their hearts .... and I will be their God , are you talking about a different god or what?
My God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow so I guess His law is as well - Jesus even said as much.
No God has not changed -He has just has given us a different way of showing His love for us. If He once thought tattoos were unholy He still thinks they are unholy
Each aspect of the Law that was not specific to the Children of Israel following their coming out of captivity is the same law that God has written on our hearts. There are aspects concerning the pagan practices of Egypt that do not apply , there are health issues regarding certain foods that do not apply, and there are issues concerning the sacrifices and other matters of the tabenacle that do not apply. Moral issues and matters relating to the well being for Holy living do apply which includes the instruction regarding marking the skin -(tattoos ) -Lev 19:28
Not that I disagree with your overall premise... but if you're going to use a verse as evidence, you might as well use the correct evidenceThe same passage in Leviticus also says we are not to wear clothing of a mixed blend. That means polyester coton is forbidden. I would be extremely surprised if I went through your wardrobe and found no clothing of a mixed blend. (polyester cotton is not the only common type of mixed blend). If we do take Lev 19:28 to mean no tattoos rather than in its proper context then we MUST follow the law about clothing as well.
But, like I said... I agree with the premise that you can't pick and choose which commandments you follow.http://www.beingjewish.com/mitzvos/shatnez.html
For some reason, many people believe that it is forbidden to wear clothing that contains mixtures of different fibers.
This is incorrect.
However, the Torah does forbid us to mix linen and wool in our clothes. And wool refers specifically to the wool of sheep, lamb and rams. Other fibers, however, are absolutely permitted. Many fabrics today have mixed fibers and are not 100% any particular one material, and this is usually permitted, unless wool and linen (or wool products and linen products) are mixed.
It is easy to make claims, so I will cite a legal source, no less than the great Maimonides himself. The Rambam (Maimonides), in Hilchos Kilayim (Laws of Mixtures) Chapter 10, Law 1, says quite explicitly:Nothing at all is forbidden in clothing mixtures except wool and linen mixed together. As it says in the Torah (Deuteronomy 22:11): Do not wear shaatnez, wool and linen together.In other words, the Rambam is saying that the Torah states explicitly that shaatnez is wool and linen together, and not any other mixture. Any other mixture in clothing is permissible.
I agree.BoranJarami said:Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.
(Leviticus 19:28)
If you choose to stick with the letter of the law, then I must point out that this verse has absolutly nothing to do with tatoos. The word translated "print" here is nathan and means to place or set and the word translated "marks" is k'thobeth qa'aqa' which has to do with branding (which uses heat to burn the skin). In other words we are not to cut or burn ourselves (at least not for the dead).
BoranJarami said:He most certainly did. On a number of occasions he healed on the sabbath, once even mixeing mud to do it. In response he never said that what he was doing was not work, he instead asked which was better, to not work on the sabbath or heal.
There is only one law.1 John 3:4 said:[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]3:4[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.[/FONT]
1) I already touched on the fabric issue above.How does it glorify God to not shave your beard or wear cloths made from different materials? The law neither brings glory to God, nor does it save man. Paul told us that the purpose of the law was to show us that we are sinners (Romans 7:7). It is not good to use the law to glorify God because as the writer of Hebrews tells us, the law was only a shadow of what was to come (Hebrews 10:1). Therefore it is better to glorify God not with the shadow but the fullness which we were given To us by the Christ.
Sorry, but he isn't talking about the New Testament here. there was only 1 set of Scriptures used for teaching, rebuking, training in righteousness, and for learning the way to salvation through Messiah... and that contained the Torah... how do you reconcile the complete contradiction?2 Tim 3:
15 and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
. I have a friend of mine who just got one, and is still trying to prove to him selve that thier aint nothing wrong with them. Please give me book chapter verse where it talks about body markings.

There is another thing recommended in this book that I read...don't argue with a pharisee..(Its not my place to judge him or you)...
The first part of verse 28 refers to the making of cuttings for the dead the second part is marking for any reason at all. Both are unholy. Ask any Jewish priest at the wailing wall if they have tattoos?
Tip toeing around scriptures to make them fit a lifestyle that you may want to engage in is not what Christianity is all about. Recieving forgiveness for any wrong doing and avoiding being a stumbling block for others is.
Ha, that website is such a crock. Just because I have a tattoo doesn't mean I worship Satan or I'm glorifying death.
