Should I get a Tattoo? -
09-25-2008, 11:50 PM
I recently had a young woman approach me concerning her desire for a lip piercing. She explained to me in a calm, collected way that she had desired one for years, but her Godly parents threatened to turn her over to her local independent Baptist church if she got one. She's 18 now and thinks she can go do whatever she wants but I felt an almost personal responsibility to save her from Hell. So, I sat down with her and the proper supervision and I told her exactly why piercings and tattoos will make Jesus send you to Hell.
Leviticus 19:28 says "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord." Now, if the Lord says something like that in the first three books of the Bible, the argument should end right there. He tells us flat out not to cut our flesh or print marks upon us. Do you think he'll have any sympathy when Judgment Day gets here? I don't think so. He's going to look you square in the eyes and say "I wrote a book called the Bible. You didn't even have to read very far into it. It says right there not to do that, and you disobeyed me. Enjoy eternity in Hell."
As if that one verse isn't enough, the Lord repeats himself later on in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. "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? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." Because our bodies are the temple of God, and the Holy Spirit can shrink until He fits inside our hearts, who are we to inflict injury upon a body that isn't even ours. That's right: "Your" body doesn't belong to you. It belongs to Jesus. Piercing yourself or getting a tattoo is like keying a True Christians™ car, or spray painting their house. Needless to say they're going to get angry. Now, ask yourself this. Do you want the God that killed over 2,391,421 people in the Bible to be angry at you? I don't.
Many people don't know this, but piercings have there origination with witchcraft. The Bible says in Deuteronomy 14:1 "Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead." Making baldness between their eyes for the dead was a tradition in witchcraft. We already know that God despises witchcraft. He's the same God that said suffer not a witch to live. Don't think for one second He's going to tolerate your pseudo-wickeran behavior! He's not going to accept "I'm not a witch, I just have a piercing!" You know what that sounds like to Jesus (and True Christians™): It sounds like "I'm not an obese, pansy, hell-bound sodomite who drinks the blood of True Christian™ babies, I just act like one!!" Jesus doesn't like that one bit.
So, next time you Unsaved Trash think about getting a piercing or a tattoo, just remember that Jesus is watching you and when He kills you He's going to ask you if you acted like a witch, and if you have a piercing or a tattoo He won't take "No" for an answer!! Glory
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)

I couldn't agree with you more, Pastor Ezekiel. I often hear the same questions, and I always have to tell the kids to wait until they're older and wiser to decide to ruin their bodies before God. Our bodies are our temples and should not be defiled by human fetishes. Not to mention the stigma of having a scarred eyebrow after the body rejects the piercing.
May you be a blessing to every life you touch.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but BOTH the verses you quoted had something else in common: they condemned cutting yourself "for the dead." The girl you described, it sounds to me that she wanted a piercing for fashion and it had nothing to do with the dead.
However, if any cutting of the flesh is wrong, does that mean surgery is a sin?

Dear Lord! I was going to BAN the person who started this thread, because I can't even believe one of our members would ask such a question. I am so relieved that Pastor Zeke was really posting an informational thread and he did such a wonderful job of referencing his advice to our Holy Bible.
Unfortunately, I have an acquaintance who has many tattoos, including one of our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, which I find particularly threatening. This person claims to be an Evangelical, but has yet to step foot into a Baptist church! I just hope our Sweet Baby Jesus finds a way to scour that nasty tattoo off of my "friend" (I use the term loosely) before the Devil Himself burns it off.
Oh, and I am reminded of the day our good Pastor Pistle backhanded a young lady in our church. It seems the good pastor saw some purple ink on her elbow. Unfortunately, the poor gal had brushed by the Mulberry bush on her way to church. But don't any of you folks think you can flash a tattoo around Mother Glynndie without getting a good hard whack!
Jesus - gentle, dependable overnight relief.

Since you are a Goth, I don't see why it matters. Get a 666 tattoo or maybe even this one, because you have already chosen to ignore Jesus' love by practicing a false and evil religion.

Both? I counted three.
Matthew:
5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled
10:21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

It says that it is God's temple. Would you go around desecrating the Lord's temple? Actually, you probably would. Which is why you are going to hell with your tattoed, ugly features, and we are heaven-bound.

Generally, I don't.
However, when nuts like yourself try to turn their personal interpretation of the Bible into law, it impacts me.
Here in Oklahoma, getting a tattoo was illegal up until just a few years ago. And cockfighting was perfectly legal up until about the same time. Socially, this state is about fifty years behind the rest of the world and I can't help but think that it's because so many people in this state think just like LBC members.
Maybe you should move from Iowa to Oklahoma.

Oh captain Asshat, you are clearly oblivious as to what the Bible says. NO markings upon your body whatsoever!
Gather around so that I can read to you from my book of TRUTH. Genesis thru Revelations....Pick one!
Luke 12:5- But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

God seems pretty darn pleased to give me hairy armpits and hairy legs. Is it a sin to shave those, too?

Of course its a sin! since you're not born with air in your lungs GOD doesnt intent people to even breathe! so breathing is a sin too... alot of people need to stop breathing, say put their heads in a bucket filled with water to stop the sin that is BREATHING!

Uuuhh lets look at Zeke's post again...
Leviticus 19:28 says "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord."
Yep, I'm pretty sure that means 'dude, don't let dead folks tattoo you!!!'. That means 'zombies', right???
But Im confused?? What if Jesus came back, an wanted to tattoo me? He's a zombie, right?? So can I let some zombies tattoo me, but not others??? What's the rules wi that????
