Ad hominim attacks don't take away from the substance. Nice try of deflection since you don't have a real response.

Oh, I've made substantive responses here, including specific passages from Jesus about how old testament rules aren't that important. You keep choosing to ignore actual things Jesus said, which falls very short of a real response. Grow up.

O exalted one! Lead us out of the darkness of ignorance and into your light of information.

So do Christians follow the Old Testament at all? Which parts and how do you decide what to follow? Which parts are the “old covenant”. Did Jesus actually say that you don’t have to follow the Old Testament?

Then you are making up your beliefs and not ones based on the Bible.

Folks, this is not what the Bible is. You don't "follow the rules" of the Old Testament.

You don't?

How do you treat the 10 commandments?

How do you account for Jesus being an observant Jew?

DP. Jesus said not to worry about dietary or cleanliness laws ("it doesn't matter what goes into your mouth, it matters what comes out of it"). And to abandon the eye-for-an-eye thing. He talked about the two great commandments, love god and love your neighbor (and enemy). So....

The ignorance here is awesome. But we're talking about a troll thread about tattoos, so again, so....

Enlighten us great knowledgeable one instead of attempting to ridicule.

What is the point of including the OT if it is irrelevant? Why does Jesus make it a point that he abide by the OT laws if they are to have no meaning?

Some key points were just explained for you. Go back and reread if you didn't understand the first time. Otherwise, nobody's going to engage with an obvious troll who's trolling. Bye now!

Not really. The apologists haven't explained anything other than "Jesus = love" therefore all else is irrelevant. That's not an answer that addresses any of the specific points raised.

Fairly typical to ignore as a response when there's not a logical one to make.

Aren't Christians supposed to treat their body like it's a temple? No cutting, holes or marking up the facade?

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.

Ah, plastic surgery is also a sin.
So are operations to separate conjoined twins.

Come on, you guys are not this ignorant right? This is why PP is calling you trolls. Because you are acting like trolls.

What is your understanding of the role and place of Leviticus as a part of the Old Testament, and what is your understanding of the role it plays, if any, in modern life of people of this faith? Because from your comments, it appears you haven't a clue, but seem to think it's OK to speak with authority about it.
