[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or is that so Old Testament that modern Christians can ink away?[/quote]

Where in the OT are tattoos even discussed? [/quote]

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

My gashes in my flesh are not for the dead.

That passage (and much other content) is about idolatry, and stopping practices associated with competing religions. That's where the next line is. "I am your Lord".

Modern tattoos procured by non pagan people aren't pagan rituals.

You know we are in still wandering in the desert, right?

You have to apply a little critical thinking when applying a brief document, aimed at people who lived 2000-5000 years ago, thousands of miles away, to your modern life in your current place. [/quote]

But it's hard when you think that said document is holy and must be followed.[/quote]

DP. PP explained that it's a holy document, but it just doesn't have the meaning you're trying to slap on it. Are you this averse to being educated about something you're clearly ignorant about?[/quote]

You are the ignorant one. [/quote]

OK, explain why, because pp is correct.  If you're not a sad troll. [/quote]
