The Bible warns us against tattoos
in Leviticus 19:28 (Amplified) which says, "Ye shall not make
any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print or tattoo any
marks upon you: I am the Lord."
Many of you must be surprised and may be shocked to learn this,
as tattoo is becoming a rage in our society today. Well,
just because society has accepted something doesn't mean that god
has also given it a green signal. Our society also approves of abortion
and divorce as well. However, the Bible makes it clear that God
doesn't approve these things.
Adding to the above-mentioned verse just read the following verses
carefully as well.
1 Kings 18:28: "And they cried aloud, and cut themselves
after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed
out upon them."
Deuteronomy 14:1(Amplified): "Ye are the sons of the LORD
your God; you shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness on
your foreheads for the dead."
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."
Leviticus 19:28: "Do not cut your bodies for the dead or
put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the Lord."
1 Corinthians 6:19 NIV: "Do you not know that your body is
a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received
from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore
honor God with your body."
Corinthians 3:16 NIV: "Don't you know that you yourselves
are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys
God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred,
and you are that temple."
John 14:15 NIV: "If you love me, you will obey what I command."
1 John 5:3-5 NIV: "This is love for God: to obey his commands.
And his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes
the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even
our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes
that Jesus is the Son of God." |
