to get a tattoo for a witness means God didn’t do a Good enough Job when He created you.

Matthew 23:24 means / self-righteousness taken to an ultra extreme. /

Well, just so you will know…I don’t drink coffee…or any other caffinated drinks. No carbonated drinks. I drink water and juice. I don’t eat high fructose, I do work out, and I eat limited amounts of cholesterol. I am 68 and have the body of a 40 year old. I take no pills. My bp is perfect. So…I do have the credibility on all those accounts. I still don’t care for tats. I know many have them as a tool for witness. I don’t have a problem with that. I just don’t see the need. I think our lives could live out our witness without them. Just an old guy who doesn’t care for ink. Nothing scriptural here.

All things are lawful, saith Paul, but not all things are practicable.

I am not usually in favor of tattoos. Many of the Tattoos on our servicemen have blurred with time and are now a mess. I can personally attest to that At the same time many of the Coptic Christians have the tattoos of a cross on their wrist as a sign of their devotion to Christ. John Conger may attest to that if he’s done a tour or two #PaidVacationInAForeignLand
John Conger
no service from me. high respect for those who did. on the issue of tats i don’t have a problem with them. if they were to keep us from ministry then we should abstain but most people see that is not a big deal.
John Ruffle
It’s not a “big deal” because most of the western Church is in bed and fornicating with the secular pop culture that is riven through with demonic activity. But thanks to the one who posted about Coptic Christians – I didn’t know this, but I have to respect that custom among them.
Troy Day – you taught me something today!
John Conger
wow, that’s typical pentecostal. just add to the bible whatever you feel should be sin
John Ruffle
Meaning?
John Conger
meaning you just condemned people for something that God didn’t condemn. why would having a tattoo make you someone who is fornicating with the world? other than your own personal revelation from God of course. ….
Varnel Watson
David Maris mentioned it first here actually Thank you!
Ricky Grimsley
Does anyone feel that the reference of not marking your body was in relation to the “for the dead” as was the the cutting of your your flesh? As in we arent supposed to mark ourselves for the dead in some kind of ritual?
John Conger
yep. i don’t see much debate there
