Let no man despise thee.”

  5. Tattoos & Body Piercing We Are “A Peculiar People” Rom. 12:1-2, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye presentyourbodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And BENOT CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD: but be ye transformedby the renewing of your mind, that ye may PROVE what is that GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT, will of God.” We Are Dead To The World Gal. 6:14, “But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom THE WORLD IS CRUCIFIED UNTO ME, and I UNTO THE WORLD.”

  6. Tattoos & Body Piercing We Are “A Peculiar People” We Are Dead To The World I Jn. 2:15-17, “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but HE THAT DOETH THE WILL OF GOD ABIDETH FOR EVER.” Cf. Jas. 4:4 “The Man Who Moves The World,Does Not Allow The World To Move Him.”

  7. Tattoos & Body Piercing Our Body, Mind, Spirit, And Soul Belongs To God I Cor. 6:20, “For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God IN YOUR BODY, and IN YOUR SPIRIT, which ARE GOD’S.” I Thess. 5:23, “And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your WHOLE SPIRIT and SOUL and BODYbe preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

  8. Tattoos & Body Piercing “Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, norprint any marks upon you: I am the LORD.” Leviticus 19:28 NKJV, “You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for thedead,nortattooanymarksonyou:IamtheLORD.” NASB, “You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead,normake any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD.” Cf. RSV, NRSV NIV, “Do not cut your bodies for the dead orput tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD.”

  9. Tattoos & Body Piercing “Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, norprint any marks upon you: I am the LORD.” Leviticus 19:28 Adam Clarke’s Commentary: “These were called stigmatastigmata among the Greeks, and to these St. Paul refers when he says, I bear about in my body the MARKS (stigmata) of the Lord Jesus; Ga 6:17.” It’s A General Custom To Bear Signs On (or Around) The Body To Honour Our Object of Affection (Worship).

  10. Tattoos & Body Piercing “Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, norprint any marks upon you: I am the LORD.” Leviticus 19:28 We Cannot Use Leviticus 19:28As Proof Against Tattoos & Body Piercing Only A Violation Of The New TestamentCould Prove That Such Is Not Right Therefore, We Must Focus Our Attention On The Gospel Regarding Our Influence (Cf. Mt. 5:13-16; Phil. 2:14-15)

  11. Tattoos & Body Piercing Tattoos - Wikipedia Mormonism:“Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (often referred to as ‘Latter-day Saints’ or ‘Mormons’) have been advised by their church leaders to not tattoo their bodies.[19] In the Articles of Faith of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints it states that the Latter-day Saints accept the Bible to be the word of God[20] Therefore, the church believes that the body is a sacred temple as preached in the New Testament,[21] and that they should keep it clean, inside and out, which the church interprets as forbidding tattoos.”

  12. Tattoos & Body Piercing Tattoos - Wikipedia Islam:“Tattoos are usually considered forbidden in Sunni Islam. According to the book of Sunni traditions, Sahih Bukhari, ‘The Prophet forbade [...] mutilation (or maiming) of bodies.’[22] Sunni Muslims believe tattooing is haraam (i.e. forbidden) because it involves changing the creation of Allah, and because the Prophet cursed the one who does tattoos and the one for whom that is done.[23] There is, however, difference of scholarly Sunni Muslim opinion as to the reason why tattoos are forbidden.[24]”

  13. Tattoos & Body Piercing Tattoos - Wikipedia Judaism:“Tattoos are forbidden in Judaism[26] based on the Torah (Leviticus 19:28): ‘You shall not make…”. The prohibition is explained by contemporary rabbis as part of a general prohibition on body modification that does not serve a medical purpose (such as to correct a deformity). Maimonides, a leading 12th century scholar of Jewish law and thought, explains the prohibition against tattoos as a Jewish response to paganism. Since it was common practice for ancient pagan worshipers to tattoo themselves with religious iconography and names of gods, Judaism prohibited tattoos entirely in order to disassociate from other religions.”

  14. Tattoos & Body Piercing What Did Paul Say About Our “Liberties” In Christ? Cf. I Cor. 8:9-13, “But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak…13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.” Cf. 6:12 Cf. I Cor. 10:31-33, “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: 33 Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.” Cf. v. 23

  17. Tattoos & Body Piercing The Spirit Vs. The Flesh Rom. 8:1-14, “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after theSpirit…5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you…14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”

  18. Tattoos & Body Piercing The Spirit Vs. The Flesh Gal. 5:14-17, “For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF. 15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. 16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and THESE ARE CONTRARY the one to the other: SO THAT YE CANNOT DO THE THINGS THAT YE WOULD.” Cf. vv. 19-22

  19. Tattoos & Body Piercing The Spirit Vs. The Flesh Tit. 2:1-8, “But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: 2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. 3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness …teachers of good things; 4 That they may teach the young women to be sober…5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. 6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. 7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, 8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you…shewing all good fidelity; that they mayadorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.”

  20. Tattoos & Body Piercing The Spirit Vs. The Flesh I Pet. 3:3-5, “Whose ADORNING let it NOT be that outward adorning of…or of putting on of apparel; 4 BUT let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. 5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands.” I Tim. 2:9-10, “In like manner also, that women ADORN themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; NOT with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 10 BUT (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.” Cf. Mt. 5:16
