Here we go again cherrypicking Christians

@shipleyshipster Thanks for your reply. I didnt say anybody is wrong or that my beliefs should be universal. I was just expressing an opinion. Nobody makes anybody change unless they want to.

I'm offened to be called a BUM!!! Because I live with my father and mother also I'm my mother's carer as in I take care of my sick mother.
Oh yeah one more thing doesn't say in the Ten Commandments "Honor thy Father and Mother."

It is also good to remember that certain cultures would not listen to a Gospel spoken by someone with a tattoo, a cultural mannerism akin to Muslim men not listening to women or even not listening to a man who's wife is not properly "covered."
All this to say that great weight should be given, as Pastor Levi said, and we can make wise decisions regarding our influence in the entire world.
1 Corinthians 10:23-24 is a great verse when talking about these types of topics.

Oh man...let everybody get tattoos when they want......religion or no religion......If you want it, get it. Do you really think jezus or whatever will get mad about a tattoo? I resespect people who have a religion but a tattoo isnt bad stuff.

MY BODY IS DEDICATED TO GOD AND HIM ONLY. WHY WOULD I WANNA INK MY BODY IF ITS A TEMPLE WHERE THE HOLY SPIRIT DWELLS? I HAVE 3 TATTOOS ON ME BUT THIS IS BEFORE KNOWING CHRIST AND NOW I USE THEM AS A TESTIMONY AND THEY BEAR WITNESS FOR ME. I LOVE TATTOOS BUT I ASK MYSELF IN ALL HONESTY, WOULD JESUS HAVE MARKED HIS BODY IF HE WAS WALKING AMONGS US TODAY? IF THE ANSWER IS NO THEN I DONT WANT ANY FOR I WANNA TAKE UP MY CROSS AND FOLLOW HIM IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE.
Regarding the tattoos I agree that we as Christians are not tied to the mandate described in Leviticus (Old Testament) but we have to obey the New Testament (new covenant established after the 1st coming of Jesus) where it says that our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and we should do our best to keep it holy. If God gave me a body as He intended it to be, my obedience to Him should be to keep it that way. No tattoos, piercings, mutilations or alterations unless it is medically justified.
