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]

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

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?[/quote]

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

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

PhD's in theology - what a laugh.  Just more grifting from schools of "theology" to make a buck.

PS - the fact that there are PhD's in theology doesn't make theology real -- it just means that people have studied it a lot and gotten PhD's in it.  Not too many people bother with it these days.  They know it's a dying field.[/quote]

They have to somehow create a facade of authority. How else would they perpetuate millennia old myths? [/quote]

+1 and I bet that most phd's in theology don't believe it themselves.   After all -- they studied it academically and know it's  a bunch of myths.[/quote]
