Tattoos - Should Christians Get Them? by BIBLESPEAKS(m): 8:59am On May 23, 2015 |
It is significant that the Mosaic Law forbade God's people to tattoo themselves. Leviticus 19:28 says: "(You) shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am Jehovah." (ASV) Even though Christians today are no longer bound to the Mosaic Law, the prohibition it laid on tattooing is worth considering. (Ephesians 2:15; Colossians 2:14, 15) Additionally, if you are a Christian, the Bible counsels that you certainly would not want to make markings on your body—even temporarily—that has any trace of paganism or false worship. (See 2 Corinthians 6:15-18.) Another thing to consider is whether choosing to get a tattoo would enhance or undermine your claim of being a Christian. As many react negatively, one could ask themselves, "How may others feel about my wearing a tattoo?" (1 Corinthians 10:29-33) Could it be a "cause for stumbling" others? (2 Corinthians 6:3) One who seeks to please God should also keep in mind that becoming a Christian involves the offering of oneself to God. The Bible says that our bodies are living sacrifices presented to God for His use: "And so, dear friends, I plead with you to give your bodies to God. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice – the kind he will accept. When you think of what he has done for you, is this too much to ask?" - Rom 12:1 (NLT)
