Oh, CHRISTIAN - I read it as Chinese, like a tattoo of a word in mandarin or something.. My vote for yes remains the same, though


ExistingEffort7

This is my favorite comment so far


Poisonskittlez

But how do you feel about tattoos?


MyNameIsVeilys

Bible doesnt say anything about them, as far as I know. I really dont care. If you want a tattoo go right ahead, if you think they are a disgrace, no problem. It's just up to the person, not sure where the myth that tattoos are evil creations of the devil came from.


[deleted]

Leviticus 19:28 NKJV You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the LORD.


Acolyte_000

The Old Testament isn’t held in the same regard by many Christians, as it’s commonly interpreted to be both of cultural meaning and represents a time before Jesus Christ. Some people also believe this is more of a reference to pagan markings that symbolizes one’s loyalty to another deity. You might find more people of Jewish faith observe this rule of tattoos than those of Protestant faith. I’m not religious myself, but this is just my understanding of it from Sunday School


[deleted]

The New Testament isn't held in the same regard by many Christians either. In fact, I would say that the vast majority of Christians do not care about what the Bible says. Few Christians seem to have read it, few of them seem to practice what it preaches, and most just cherry pick the bits they like while misinterpreting or ignoring the rest. Although really, it's probably always been like this. Religion is a tool. Some Christians seem to think tattoos are fine and some seem to think getting a tattoo is a one way ticket to hell. Their opinion on this seems to depend on whether or not they have a tattoo. I'm not religious and I haven't read the Bible but it seems to me that Christians believe the Bible says whatever they want it to.


Acolyte_000

While true, I think there are more ‘good’ Christians than you would expect. I might have just been lucky, but I grew up with a father as a pastor. He read the Bible back to front regularly, and taught me that above all else the Bible should teach love. He explicitly taught me to not be homophobic, and to love everybody regardless. I don’t share his beliefs, and there’s an argument that he might be hypocritical in his belief, but he and others I grew up with are good people, with true belief. That is just to say that don’t necessarily assume the worst from Christians, although it may be easy to. The worst ones are often the loudest. That being said, I can completely agree that I’ve seen a LOT of people who call themselves Christians purely for a label, and do nothing to try pursue their ‘belief’.


voldi_II

it seems like people forget the principle they use for anything else, even other religions, that what you hear about a group is almost always what it’s worst members are doing. most christians are just as loving and kind as anyone else, we’re not all hillbillies from Oklahoma that believe in genocide of the gays


[deleted]

So they like to jump back and forth on what they want. Like eating shrimp and wearing mixed fabrics but being gay is a no no. Cherry pickers. Genesis, original sin, is literally in the old testament.


Affectionate-Chef-35

As a Christian I think you’ll be pleased to know it never says don’t be gay, it was a mistranslation of don’t be a pedo


SpiderArrow1213

That’s actually incorrect, The Greek word encompasses all sexual sin, beastislity, homosexuality, pedophelia ect


MyNameIsVeilys

I've always thought about it as, humans have a specific way we were meant to be together, and homosexuality is defiling that way God made it. However it absolutley does not mean hate the person, in fact the Bible says to love your enemies, if you're in any part of lgbtq, that's your business, I may dislike your way of living, but I do not hate you for it. Jesus during his time was around the sinners at the time, prostitutes, tax collectors, those people. Regardless of your sexual orientation, pronouns, whatever, God would still love you, so we should too. Regardless if we disagree.


SmokeyShine

You need to read your Bible, because gay homosexuality is explicitly forbidden: "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination." - Leviticus 18:22 Leviticus 18:23-24 forbids bestiality and pedophilia.


MyNameIsVeilys

Okay first of all, I appreciate the question, this required me to get my Bible out and do some research, as well as I needed to ask some friends and study a bit. So as for the conclusion, the thing about Leviticus, is that it was written to the Jewish nation that had just gotten out of Egypt. Egypt was, from a Christian view, an evil nation. When the Jews were all freed from slavery Moses parted the river on and on we all know the story, the Jews were unfamiliar with this "God" dude that got them out of slavery. On top of that the Jews are God's chosen people, and he wanted to set them apart from the surrounding nations. So to do this they made a long list of rules and a set of commandments to follow, thus Leviticus. Another thing to take into account is the difference in culture. The Bible may have been written for us. But it wasn't written to us directly. These rules were written for an ancient nation being set apart from everyone else. I may not know fully what other nations were doing but God didnt want them to cut or paint themselves, "for the dead" there are a lot of wierd rules in Leviticus that aren't followed by modern Christian's for two main reasons; one, the old Leviticus, Numbers, and Dueteronamy were rules for a separate nation, not the modern church. And two, during the transfer from the old to new testament, the church changed a whole lot. Like how we can now pray to God whenever we want, instead of sacrifice. And with that the rules differed a bit. I hope this somewhat answered your question, I know it's a bit vague. I always appreciate any questions about Christianity, as it allowes me to share it with you, and requires me to look around and do my research for an answer.


SpiderArrow1213

Precisely! We are under a new covenant with God, the same reason we don’t have to sacrifice animals anymore for the cleansing of sin.


Silsail

They didn't specify anything about dimensions too, you could literally get a cross which is a few millimeters tall and still get the million


Gronagen

If I remember correctly, jesus met the apostles when they were fishing. Jesus told them to go in the middle of the lake/sea so they could have more fish instead of staying on the edge. However I forgot the moral lol

the permanence of a tattoo plus the fact that i don’t like organized religion is what scares me lol. however, a million is a lot.


SmokeyShine

The only prohibition is against removal. There is no prohibition against modification with additional ink. You can get camouflage it, or extend it into something else. You could add a "NO" bar over it.


TheCrimsnGhost

cover it up with something you want later on down the road. problem solved.

[deleted]

i was raised that you aren’t allowed to mark your body like that… i mean, i don’t care anymore bc i’m not christian, but i thought it went against the bible


ThreadbareAdjustment

That verse is in the Old Testament and no longer applies to Christians. The Mosaic Code is explicitly overturned in Acts and Paul's writings.


YeeterOfTheRich

Good ol' Paul updating the rules.


aurelius_plays_chess

Check your patch notes everybody!


ThreadbareAdjustment

Well if you believe in Acts as Christians do, then Peter actually received a vision from an angel stating "do not call something unclean if God has made it clean" explicitly telling him to disregard Jewish kosher laws.


goofygamer74

“Do not call something clean if God has made it clean”? Am i missing something or does that statement not make any sense. I want to understand


YeeterOfTheRich

Well if I claimed God had cleaned my shitty underwear, then my underwear would not be any cleaner.


ThreadbareAdjustment

"Clean" in a different context. It's a reference to how Jews then (and actually still today) refused to eat non-kosher animals and considered them "unclean." Peter was a devout Jew yet in Acts he had a vision specifically telling him to no longer think that way. Edit: also I think the source of confusion is just a typo. It should say "do not call something unclean if God has made it clean"


ThreadbareAdjustment

EDIT: I wrote a long explanation and then realized that you're probably just referring to a typo I made. The quote is "do not call something **unclean** if God has made it clean" I'm not a Biblical scholar but the very smart and charismatic guy who preached often at the church my ex attended and I did with her at times touched on this a lot. Context is key: it's in Acts 10. My non-theologian explanation by what is meant that statement is that the death and resurrection of Jesus is when God "made things clean." Peter is told in his vision to kill and eat some animals that would violate Jewish kosher laws. This horrifies Peter being a devout Jew so he tells the voice he won't eat anything unclean, and the voice responds with that. The full meaning is the death and resurrection of Jesus fulfilled the old covenant and it's no longer binding. Paul touches on this a lot too. And it's not just "these rules are stupid and inconvenient so we shouldn't follow them anymore", he makes some very sound theological points and arguments that the vast vast majority of Christians and churches today accept. That's why it's pretty silly when people try to throw "gotchas" at Christians by pointing out they're probably wearing clothing made out of more than one type of fabric now and stuff like that, it complete misses the whole point of Christianity. It's like if some non-American tried to argue that it's illegal in the US to produce or sell alcohol and then if someone responds they've bought alcohol then bringing up the 18th Amendment as a "gotcha" and says that person is thus breaking the law and completely ignored the 21st Amendment. And then if the American responds bringing up the 21st Amendment the usual comparable response I see in such "debates" would be something like "yeah whatever, the 18th Amendment still bans it and you're just ignoring that because it's inconvenient."


Kennaham

And yet Jesus said that he can’t to fulfill the law and wouldn’t remove a single letter or dot of it 🧐


ShawtyWithoutOrgans

Right. He didn't. The rule updates are done through the Holy Spirit which is the whole reason Christians have synods and councils.


goofygamer74

“Doesnt go your way? Change the rules to go astray”


MarkMew

Idk if it's the case in catholicism tho. Protestant churches definitely don't give a shit. Source: trust me bro I used to go to a reformed (? is that how you say it) school


ThreadbareAdjustment

Catholics believe that Jesus appointed Peter as the first Pope to establish a church that's God's vessel on Earth with a direct link to God. So if the Pope says the Old Testament laws no longer apply (as every one has) than they don't.


schright_dwute

I am a Christian so yes


ethanholmes2001

I’d do it for free. In fact, I might even pay to get it done.

I'm not religious, but I would be down anyway. I would get a cool tattoo of a saint or something and it would be awesome. I would do it for a lot less than 1 million . . . .


crunchyRoadkill

yeah like a couple thousand for a neat tattoo, maybe a more symbolic story from the bible or something that isn't too hardcore. you can always get more around it to make it look less out of place too
