The real skinny on tattoos?

[Alithis]

quoting stats saying more people do it is not sound doctrinal or biblical basis for promoting something the bible gives absolutely NO directive to do..

more people doing it only amounts to less people even attempting to ask Gods will for them.
its an act done to self for self from the will of self.it does not edify,build up,or aid anyone else .it has nothing to do with true godly religion.

implying its ok because "more do it" is simply not a correct thought process .
apply that concept to anything.. and you will end up in a quagmire of sin.
ie: more people are practising sodomy ..so it must be ok..?No thats ridiculous.yet that's the premise being used in defense of tattoos.. it is equally unacceptable.

direct scripture has been presented repetitively of what we should do of how we are to behave.yet repetitively it is disregarded.

yet not one single scripture ..inspired of God ..God breathed words,..has or can be given upon which to promote any doctrine encouraging tattoos of any kind.

A lot of Christians get a cross or Christian fish sign <>< or Bible ref. on a wrist, etc. Not sure why some ppl want to 'rant' against it, as you say.

Blessings.

My point is just that it is a very large thread with a lot of views. I only wish it were something more spiritual that we would spend time on.

That's all.

thanks to "Tturt" for this small list ,with references, of just a few scriptural
directives of what the word DOES tell us to do .

bear good fruit (Matthew 7:13-23)
-bear much fruit; however, without Him we can do nothing (John 15:5)
-be conformed to the image of His son (Rom 8:29)
-be doers of The Word (James 1:22)
-always try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. (Eph 5:10)
-be followers of God (Ephesians 5:1-5) No fornication, covetousness, filthiness, foolish talking, etc.

Judgment Day - Our behavior determines our inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

-Every man's work shall be made manifest: I Cor 3:13

-each one may be repaid according to what he has done while in the body, whether good or bad (II Cor 5:10);
-Book of Life based on our deeds (Rev 20:12).
-because you know that you will receive your inheritance from the Lord as the reward. Serve the Lord Christ (Col 3:24)
- For the Son of Man will come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done; (Matthew 16:27)
