Are Tattoos a Sin?

[Anonymous]

Or is that so Old Testament that modern Christians can ink away?

Where in the OT are tattoos even discussed?

Clear as day. Per Leviticus 19:28, “You shall not make gashes in your flesh for the dead, or incise any marks on yourselves.

I guess it depends on if you think nearly anything in the OT is actually relevant.

I love how bible thumpers get tattoos of the cross but don't know the above is in the bible.

I mean if your standard for sin is "following the standards in Leviticus" I have some bad news for you.

So pierced ears (or other parts) are out too?

So glad I don't take the Bible literally.

Exactly. There are so many rules we do not follow that this whole question is silly.

There are too many rules in the Bible so most people pick and choose which ones apply in modern life. They probably need to edit or delete the old testament.

Christian here. I knew that was in the Bible.

Reformed Protestant Christians (my tradition) believe that when Jesus Christ came, lived a sinless life fully fulfilling God's entire law to ancient Israel, died, and was raised again that was that for the law. The old covenant between God and his people was finished, completed by Christ himself. Now there's a new covenant. Under that new covenant the ceremonial law (like that verse in Leviticus) and the civil law (all the rules governing the government of Israel) no longer apply. Since the moral law - which is best spelled out in the 10 commandments - existed in the covenants before the old covenant, then it still applies. But the rest of it doesn't.

Before mocking Christians, you should check to see if we've actually...thought about stuff. You do realize entire PhDs exist in theology, right?

No. This is not why. See my post above. There's a consistent application of what does and doesn't apply, actually.

Christians are not supposed to 'think' they are supposed to believe. Any thinking person would not believe your Protesant word salad above.

OK, I'll make sure to revoke the PhDs of any theologically conservative Christians out there, because Anonymous said so.

More proof that you are delusional. You don't have the power to revoke anyone's PHd.
