Regarding the young man, there is probably something
deeper than just getting a tattoo. Maybe some kind of
rebellion or seeking of attention. Prayfully consider
how to answer and council.
You can now turn your flame throwers on<G>
Reading the post on this got me thinking. I am not
saying if this is a sin or not, but what about our moral
conscience? You know that inkling in your gut that says
"maybe I shouldn't do this" What about the Holy Spirit?
God gave a conscience for a reason. If this young man
did not "feel" this was wrong, then why the
confrontation of the Commander? Justification maybe? How
would you feel if your Pastor and the deacons all
decided to get tatoos?
Some say that we are not under Old Test. law because
Jesus fullfilled the law. Well, what about the Ten
Commandments? Do we disregard the whole book of
Leviticus?
How about it not being in Scripture? does this mean if
it is not in scripture then it is O.K. Marijuana or
cocaine are not in scripture, so can I use that? It says
"..don't be drunk on wine". Well, one beer is not going
to get get me drunk. What's to stop me of popping a
"cold one" at PowWow? If it is "wrong" does that make it
a "sin".
....Moral Conscience!
Not trying to flame just spark thought. Being Mexican,
I'm pretty heat resistent. So I welcome all responses,
answers, and opinions. God Bless.
