1st Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
For those who might be thinking about getting one, two, or one hundred tattoos, as the case might be, the word of God speaks very plainly against the practice as being of pagan origin, and not at all in harmony with God’s ideals for His people.
Jezebel made body art fashionable in Israel and long after she was gone the practice had taken deep root in the nation. The issue with it is that it morphs into variations with time, and as leaders, parents, stars, mothers, and fathers adopt the practice, the next generations to follow often take it to the next level.
But the word of God is not subject to fashion, nor is it to be modified in any way to suit philosophies, or practices that are of pagan origin. When a majority opinion bears sway, the will of God is usually in the opposite direction and thus, the following verses do represent God’s will in the matter. Let’s read:
Leviticus 19: 28 You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
