Slippery slope with the Bible on issues
Leviticus 19:28 reads, "You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the Lord." So are people with Tattoo's sinners?

LOL, that's why I like you so much nky. You always make very good points, even if they are subtle.

Personally, I love the Old Testament as much as the New. We should use the OT scriptures to give context to NT scripture. As much as I hate to give a concise answer, yeah, that means it's wrong to mark up one's body with tats. I don't see tattoos as being a deal breaker before the Almighty but, we should keep in mind that it was He who designed us and therefore, we should leave His handiwork alone. Sort of like coming in and making changes to one of Rembrandt's works, not a good idea.
Psalm 139:13-16 (KJV)
13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

He saw us all in His mind before we were even conceived. :biggrin:
