I don’t regret it but maybe I should have put more thought into getting another tattoo…I know Jesus still loves me but im just a bit confuse at the moment on my declension. Grandma Jackie sent me an email about the passage in Levitivus. I feel as if my faith is being question. and that shouldn't bug me but it does. The decision made was between God and I. I don’t feel that I am doing wrong but at the same time I don’t feel I made the right decision. Times like this I would turn to my bible. Though it may not be a black and white issue, there is a right choice for each individual.
The Bible says in Leviticus 19:28, "Do not cut your bodies for the dead, and do not mark your skin with tattoos. I am the Lord."
It's important, however, Here’s where it gets confusing…This passage in Leviticus, including dealing with the pagan religious rituals of the people living around the Israelites. God’s desire is to set his people apart from other cultures. The focus here is prohibiting worldly, heathen worship and witchcraft. God forbids his holy people to engage in idolatrous, pagan worship and sorcery which imitates the heathens. He does this out of protection, because he knows this will lead them away from the one true God.
Also, What about verse 26, "Do not eat meat that has not been drained of its blood," and verse 27, "Do not trim off the hair on your temples or trim your beards." Well, obviously many Christians today eat non-kosher meats and get haircuts without participating in the forbidden worship of pagans. Back then these customs were associated with pagan rites and rituals. Today they are not.
My tattoos are definitely not a form of pagan, worldly worship therefore my Christian faith should not be questioned nor I feel be lectured.
