I get this question more than any question online so I thought I'd try to answer it. I hope it is an encouragement to those who watch it. My hope is that this wouldn't be an issue people freak out about but rather something we engage each other on like normal civil human beings. Appreciate you guys!

I could not believe that there are still Christians arguing about this. Did Jesus die for us arguing about tattoos? Our God is a God of love with no boundaries. Inked or not, you are loved by God.

Truth About Tattoos​ i hope this is not your only youtube account because it would seem that you really just focus on tattoos that you made an account for it. Why do you hate tattoos so much? There are a lot of other important things that Jesus told us to do, like the great commission, and I don't even remember He told us to condemn people with tattoos. So i don't really get it why you focus so much on tattoos. Hope you could explain it to me, may God bless you.

my identity is in Christ Tattoos are a sin and they invite unclean spirits. I hate them, because God hates them. Tattoos are associated with witchcraft which God hates. I don't hate people with them, for we ALL make mistakes. My channel is to edify my brothers and sisters on this topic that many people do not understand. Tattoos are a sin and the Bible teaches us to tell let our brothers and sisters know when they are sinning. I am not condemning anyone. Just like any other sin, we must repent and continue living for Jesus.

The short answer to this question is "If you have to try to justify your actions or have a feeling of hiding what you have done, you should not be doing it". E.g. I know people who say they would get just a small tattoo or one that won't be visible when wearing everyday clothes. But my question to that is, "If there is nothing wrong with it, why are you trying to hide it?"

Good grief. There are people condemning each other to eternal Hell for positions on tattoos. Let me put it this way, why doesn't the person without sin throw the first stone at the person with a tattoo? This is a subtle way of saying "I am legalistic and without love, I chastise myself because I want to go to Heaven, not because I love Christ and am overflowing with his love for me so that I am repulsed by sinning against him."

***** Yes, a sin is worthy of as severe punishment as stoning but not by us. The point is, do you really think a tattoo is contradictory to or hindering God's purpose for your life or a wrongdoing to others around you that it deserves stoning (as something like adultery would)? I think not. It's ink on your skin that fades over time. God must have a pretty pathetic purpose for human beings today if that somehow hinders it (apart from Old Testament context in which it was indicative of "heathen" idolatry - the bigger deal was the idolatry not simply the tatoo).

Hey Brother I was blessed by Jesus Christ and was made free from many things in my life that i now call the past. I was a Tattoo Artist for twelve years and was really good at it I made $100.00 an hour... One day God spoke to me and revealed to me that what I was doing was against his will and he was not pleased with Tattooing, I left Tattooing the very next day and sold my equipment and put my self in school, God has completely blessed my life since i left Tattooing and by his loving grace and mercy i am graduating College with a Theology degree in Ministry and Biblical Studies.... Praise the LORD, Our Body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit and it is not our own but it has been bought and paid with a heavy price, the Blood of Christ...

Excellent. When I was a teen I actually picked up the Bible one day out of guilt because I led an incredibly filthy life but still knew nothing of following Christ and I thought to myself "let me open the bible because I want to do at least one thing for this God I claim to believe this exists".....I read in Leviticus what it said about tats, decided that day that I would NEVER get one. My heart on the matter is regarding tattoos; what is the HEART behind them, getting them. When I wanted them I could care less about he temple, and wanted to look cool. Tattoos are of this WORLD, and I choose to leave that way daily and leave worldly things when they begin to be unfolded to me in some way. Bless you guys!

People misuse the scripture for judging others, just like people misuse the separation of church and state. When people say tattoos are bad it is not judging. Galatians 6:1 says "Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted." We are charged by God as brothers to watch out for one another. To say, "yo bro, you really shouldn't get a tattoo." It is not judging but simply helping to restore. The only thing is, we need to make sure we are approaching with gentleness and speaking the truth in love--not the truth with accusation. God Bless my brothers and sisters in the Lord :D

Advising is better than judgement, some christians judge others in a way that's of disappointment and look down on them, that judgement won't help as the two won't see eye to eye, but kindly explaining why you disagree with what they're doing would help them actually consider your input and where you're coming from.

I'm a Christian Catholic. I do not believe that tattoos are a sin. I believe that god loves his children no matter what. I don't have any tattoos yet, but I am planning on getting one . I'm getting one because I am a survivor of depression. And to me that is very symbolic. And my mom is totally against it, but to me it won't make me any different. And it upsets me how some Christians smother their beliefs in other peoples faces thinking they're right about everything. Not everyone is like you. Just because you think something is right, then doesn't mean someone will agree. Be free, and do what makes you- YOU. If someone judges you because of something on your body, then don't listen to them because no one controls your life expect for you. And I believe this strongly : Give to everyone who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back. 31"Treat others the same way you want them to treat you. 32"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.… Luke 6:31 God loves me no matter what even if I have a tattoo and one small piercing.

Jmonof J i understand make up and whatever. but tattoos, IMO, are not meant for beauty. they are sentimental and full meaning. i have tattoos and i dont feel "prettier" or "uglier" with them. i didnt change at all. besides what about the things people do to make themselves "look better" like body building/sculpting? or dieting to be thin or attractive? tanning? dying hair? wearing flattering clothing? i mean theres nothing wrong with having enough pride in your appearance to NOT look messy but if your preaching against manmade beauty then i figured i would throw this in there too.

Julie M Explain to me how demonic practices from a Pagan society is of God? Putting yourself through pain and bloodletting is demonic, but for some reason you try to find a way around it and support the devil. Do you know what you're preaching? Evidently not since you're promoting witchcraft. Paul the Apostle made in Galatians 5:19-21 that anyone who messes around with witchcraft will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Oh yeah, many people have gotten demon possessed because of tattoos. Just look up the tattoo festival in Thailand. Good Day.

BadBob Denver The bible says to Glorify God in EVERYTHING you do! So having a tattoo can clearly be something you can glorify God in. It can open opportunities to share the Gospel to those who are curious about it. If your going to bring up pagan, you better not be the christian who has a Christmas tree during Christmas either. Since that tree comes from paganism. That is ridiculous, you see I have a tree during Christmas but the difference is I am not worshiping the tree....But rather the birth of my Lord and Savior. Because I have a tree doesn't make me any less of a Christian just like having a tattoo doesn't make me any less then a believer either. You are so blinded by your religious Hypocrisy that as your brother in Christ I am calling you to repent of it and allow God's true Grace to be evident in your life. Secondly to look at the guy who works out and Judging the fact that he doesn't read enough or spend time with is family is again utter hypocrisy. If that's the case maybe you shouldn't have wasted your time commenting on this page when you totally should have spent it reading the scriptures or spending time with your family!?!?!

No.....back in the days of moses God commanded the Israelites not to be like the pagans. You see they were under the law. When Jesus died we no longer fall under the law but under Grace. Tattoos are not wrong if your using it to Glorify who God is in your life. The fact that you say its wrong for Christians is just pointing to the self righteousness you live by and not the righteousness of God. Tattoos don't have anything to do with Christmas, BUT paganism does.... and if your going to bring it up in one subject well then brother it should be brought up in another? Our bodies do belong to God. But is God focused on what's on the outside of our bodies or what's on the inside??? Last I checked in the "crystal clear" word....Jesus reached out to tax collectors and prostitutes. Not because of the outer appearance but rather the heart!!! Everything can seem perfect on the outside such as a person with "no tattoos" but behind closed doors that person can be the worst of sinners. Where on the outside is someone with tattoos and piercings who sad to say (a lot of Christians would judge), But on the inside that person has such a heart for Jesus...... You tell me... is God focused on the outside of the two or is it the heart that matters? (Rhetorical question) I pray God's word would soften your heart toward this issue, cause really....it isn't one! God Bless

Hey guys! I just wanna say something to all the Asians out there. Like im asian and its definitely a culture thing here, as we know it, that tattoos are perceived as a mafia/yakuza thing. Something that bad people do to show off that their scary (like what my parents would say). So remember guys, we should be the salt and light to this world, thats our mission as Christians. If having a tattoo is hindering you from it, or is hindering other ppl from seeing you as a good example (or maybe jst hindering themselves from seeing you), then maybe its a good idea to stay un-tattooed. Well im seeing this from a cultural point of view, as an asian born-again, whose born and raised here in asia. Please #nooffense, and God bless you!

My first response to any questions when it comes to drinking, gambling, tattoos, etc. is that we are clearly sent to live in this world but not to be of this world. Who does it glorify when you get a tattoo? Does that mean it's a sin to get a tattoo, I don't know. But I'd rather it be said of me that I am different than the world, and the best way to do that is to be different.

We don't need to live in Old Testament times when they didn't have the love we should be overflowing with.

Risa Craig I'm not certain of what you are referring. I'd argue that any apparent egotism from "the west" is due to medical, technological, and financial advancements. The increase in clinical depression doesn't currently have a known correlation, but I'd assume it comes from early brain development, caused by schools, televisions, etc.

thebullybuffalo I'm not just referring to the excess of drinking and gambling, but the very act. Who are you serving when you do either? It's funny that you say to be different I should do exactly what anyone who believes themselves to be a good person would say. We're called to be a light to the world, which sounds like a good thing. Were called to help people see, but how often do you wish you could blot out the light? How often are you tired and can't sleep because the sun's to bright, or driving with the sun in your eyes? Being a Christian means to be set apart. And if you are doing it right there is no need to make sure you go around loving people, not cursing, being helpful, etc, because the fruit of the Spirit will be manifest in you and there will be no stopping it.

Andre Wizner Who are you serving when you brush your teeth or when you drove a car the other day? These are morally neutral actions because there is no morality in them. Same applies to drinking and gambling except when they are done in excess because unlike brushing your teeth or driving your car (well maybe driving can be an "idol" for some people) these things can create idols instead of God and cause you to possibly be a bad representation of Christ if you're drunk. Your last paragraph is terribly unbiblical... "THERE IS NO NEED TO GO AROUND LOVING PEOPLE" ??????? I guess Christ doesn't need to love you or me then either and pay for our sins on the cross (John 13:34-35) God reduces the commandments of the Bible all the way from the Old Testament continually to the New Testament until there is only 2 inseparable commandments: Love your God with ALL your heart and love your neighbor. When asked who is my neighbor Christ told the story of the good Samaritan with the implied conclusion "to whom are you being neighborly?" and showing love to the furthest extreme - loving your enemy (as an illustration, he literally says love your enemy as yourself anyways and if you don't love yourself, you can''t love God Matthew 7:12; Luke 6:31). Galatians 5:22-23 But THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS LOVE, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Do you know what Paul meant by fruit? We are the tree and our actions are the fruit. 1 John 4:16 So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. If you're not a loving person, that's a good indication you don't have a relationship with God from being saved and renewed. The fruit of the Spirit IS LOVING OTHER PEOPLE. 1 John 4:7-8 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 1 John 4:7-8 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. I could go on and on with verses about us loving others besides Christ. I don't think you know what God defined as "doing it right." God bless

I dont judge those who has tattoos, but as a child of God, though the verse "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?" is talking about becoming one, it still is reffering to our body as the temple, and as a follower of christ I would much rather keep my body pure from the things of the world, all have fallen short of the glory of God, so I am not saying that I am perfect, but I would much rather not cause an eye to turn to my flesh. Now those who were once in the world & already have tattoos, its a different story, they are apart of testimony to that persons life. I dont believe that we should justify our desires, tattoos are something a person wants not needs. God bless you!

Mark 5:1-20 And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains: Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him. And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many. And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country. Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding. And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea. nd they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done. And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid. And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine. nd they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts. And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him. Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee. And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.

azariah escalante I agree with you. Sometimes Christians can look to their own society and wisdom in addition to Scripture. As a Christian I should be striving to not draw attention to myself, or strive to look like the world, and instead trying to be a good witness for Christ. In our current society, it seems as though tattoos and body piercing are more of a worship of self rather than being a humble servant for Christ. Just like I don't understand the down-grading of our dress code at church either. When someone goes on a job interview, they try to look their best. But for some reason, many Christians go to church wearing their worst. Why do Christians always try to find some excuse to live and act like the world than just trying to be separate and wholesome. And I'm far from perfect. One can find many faults in me, but it doesn't lessen the reality that putting so much emphasis on the body, whether it's expensive clothing, tons of makeup and jewelry, or tattoos and body piercings, appears to be a glorification of self and not glorification of Christ. Do I need a tattoo saying I'm saved in order for me to remember this? I think the Holy Spirit places that on our hearts. It seems pretty trivial to think we need a tattoo to remind us that we're saved. Just my own thoughts on the subject.

Okay, So let me get this straight comment section... Somehow, you all feel the need to try and put down an amazing and inspirational man. If you are so close minded about something as simple as a tattoo, or claim he is justifying the art of tattooing. I raise you this question, Who gave YOU permission to judge people with tattoos? See, you cannot defend any argument against the art of tattooing because of one simple thing! You are not God. God accepts ALL people, of ALL backgrounds and cultures. Here is the problem with the Christian faith today, many of us are lukewarm. Meaning we do not have the fire inside of us to accept the fact that we have no power over others. We may be able to influence others around us, but in the end, it is our Lord who does everything. He uses us to guide and help the ones who are hurting and lost around us... I have a tattoo, it is my little sisters initials and her birthday. She passed away in early 2006 from Hypertrophic-cardiomyopathy. A heart disease which required a heart transplant. She lived to be 6months old. But she was the strongest child I've ever met. She was in excruciating pain, but she hardly cried. My tattoo is on my right bicep, my strongest muscle on my dominant side. Does having a tattoo in her honor make me bad person? Does having a tattoo of a cross, or scripture, or even a compass make you instantly infested with demonic spirits??? I seem to be doing just fine, I have had my tattoo a month, and I attend church, youth group, and I hope to join my worship team. The problem you have with anything remotely against what YOUR OPINIONS are, is that YOU ARE NOT GOD. You do not have power to judge or condemn any person. You are not a higher being than the next, you are a SERVANT of God. If God Himself were to come to you right now, do you think he would be proud that you put others down and forced YOUR OPINIONS down their throat?? I pray that God will enlighten anyone who is so misguided to think that they can judge others. And if that is you, just know that a 17 year old young adult just produced a more competent and possibly more correct statement than anything you could have remotely began to think about. God bless everyone, and Merry Christmas.

+dj13calli I have no need for any of those my friend, I stick to my original statement. What man can say the meaning of any tattoo? I will not disagree that getting a pentagram, or something of that nature could be incredibly dangerous. But lets face the facts, we can use my tattoo as example, it is in honor of a child who now lives in heaven with an almighty creator. My friend has over 57 tattoos, every single one of them is uplifting, or glorifying to God. He is an amazing youth worship pastor who has beautiful children and a wonderful wife. We as Christians cannot keep living in the confined spiritual boat we are comfortable with. My Churches pastor gave a beyond amazing message about stepping out of our comfort zone and reaching into the unknown areas of the world. Christians simply cannot reach anyone if we are quite simply, confined to ourselves. We MUST be open to everyone, of every history. God has saved even me, a torn, wounded, broken down teenager. And He has turned me into the man I am today. A tattoo does not make me any less of a Christian. You may say all you like about tattoos but that does not make me falter from my steadfast rock that is the Lord. I would like to state publicly that a Christian, who has modeled him/herself after the Image of The Savior Himself, would not condemn anyone purely based on physical features. None of it matters my good friend, because we are saved in the almighty grace that is God. And there is no arguing with that, you and myself both know this. It all comes back to accepting everyone. Because, I've said it once, and I'll say it again, Me, you, the guy next door, are NOT God. :)

+dj13calli Also as a final note, if we are protect by God and His armies of angels, how can any demon enter us? If I was unsaved and got a tattoo of something that could be either meaningless or unspiritual, I could understand being attacked by satan. But this video is from a Biblical standpoint, so I doubt many unsaved people would have much interest in it. As for us as children of God, we are untouchable by satan and his demons. As my father tells my sister, "Satan cannot hurt you, if he does, God will strike him with almighty power" And this is true for all of us. I do hope you will look more into how uplifting and even spiritual in a good way tattoos can be. Maybe even look at some of the beautiful designs people get. It is truly an art, and as with anything, can be used for good or evil. God bless you,

Michael Pika-pi Russell Like Ive told you before, I have seen people delivered from having tattoos in Church. Tattoos are demonic and not of God. *ANY* Pastor who does deliverance will tell you that. Yes, even though it may seem innocent to get a tattoo because of good intent, the devil can still use that because of the origin of tattoos. This is something a lot of people are not aware of and we get ourselves in a trap with the devil because of false doctrine or misleading advice. We are not perfect, we all make mistakes, but God made it clear not to get a tattoo for a reason. I know a lot of people who have been delivered from Tattoo Covenants. No matter what the intention was, people still give legal right for unclean spirits to be in there life because tattoos are apart of Witchcraft. *Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.* *1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.* Tattoo ink is usually made up of Mercury, Lead, Cadmium, Beryllium, Arsenic, which is harmful to the skin. Tattoos can also cause Hepatitis B,C, and HIV. None of this is of God. *Tattooing the body is a satanic practice, it is associated with Paganism, Heathenism, Mysticism, Cannibalism, Demonism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Shamanism, Baal Worship, and many other Pagan beliefs.* That is why God told the Israelites not to do it in Leviticus 19:28. Tattoos are not of God, and any Christian doing this needs to repent and ask God to break any spiritual covenants that have been made. I have seen demons manifest through people with tattoos of Crosses, Scriptures, Flowers, Animals, etc. it does not matter because getting a tattoo itself is witchcraft and Shamanism. 57 Tattoos? That addiction comes from Unclean Spirits just like the Man in *Mark 5:1-20* That person needs to be prayed for. For anyone to cut there flesh like that, that many times is a sign of demons. If you look up the SAK YANT TATTOO FESTIVAL IN THAILAND, Demon possession. You will see what spirit is really behind this. I have met many missionaries who have go over there to spread the Gospel and cast out demons, especially demons connected to tattoos. 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Cheers

Thank you for posting this video! I just got my first tattoo a few weeks ago and could not be more pleased with my decision. It was nota decision that I made over night, but one I have been talking about with my husband and praying about. I got it covering a scar that I have from high school during a rough period of my life. When I was in that moment, I was dealing with a lot and in a lot of sin. God saved me from that and I got the tattoo purposefully on top of the scar. Now every time I look down at my wrist, I see the cross and not a scar that brings up the past. Christ died for my sins and I am covered by the blood He shed on that day. I love the representation I now have on my wrist. I coach cheerleading for high school girls and they are the first people I have been able to share my story with because of the tattoo. It is such an awesome way to open up conversations about Christ and how He has saved us in a way that makes it easier! I plan on using my tattoo as an every day reminder of Christ's love for me and as a way to lead others to Christ by sharing my testimony.

So first thing I want to say is that each person has the freedom to make their own choices and their choices will differ on where they are in their walk with God and we must be compassionate and graceful towards one another. Also I want to say that the overall impression this video gives me is how passionately you defend something that is important to you, and how you are justifying it. Which I think all of us had done or do in regards to some things when it comes to give up something we are really into. You explain how the verses that condemn tattoos are taken out of context. and yes context is super important when it comes to scripture. but, not all verses are solely linked to the context of what is said in that same chapter. everything is interrelated. once you start knowing God and understanding who He is, the same verse would have deeper meaning and you would have more insight about it, that is how God speaks to us through the Word. The example you give about sexual immorality, obviously the concept of our body being our temple and belonging to God and not us, does not apply solely to that. It is the reason for many other things that we should or shouldn’t do, like, smoke, do drugs, we should have the best diet possible to be healthy, exercise, etc, in order to take care of it the best way possible. With that also comes the concept of marking your body with tattoos, piercings, scarring, etc. Even if nowadays tattoos don’t represent someone being pagan, it’s because it has become such a big part of our culture. A LOT of pagan traditions are front and center in our lives, which is the result of the devil getting us to worship him and to partake into practices that are ungodly. even if we are not aware of it. which doesn’t really justify it because it is our job as Christians to know what God is about! It is also important, when doing a certain practice to find the origin of it. It says a lot about if it comes from the enemy or our Creator. And fyi there is no way that Jesus has a tattoo. We need to understand when symbolism is used and would be also a good thing to understand what it means. same thing as people who will have the mark of the beast won’t actually have a mark on their actual forehead. so let’s just take be careful before promoting something that will be labeled unsinful just for our own desires of the flesh and of the influance the world has on us and because we have a hard time not to partake in it.

I was having this argument with a fellow Christian and I agree that him along with others were justifying it relish in their wants of the world. But I just have a feeling it’s still a sin. I understand the passage and it regarding to the dead and paganism. But I think it’s a sin to cut into our flesh under any circumstance including tattooing. And I also believe the act of tattooing in general have to do with paganism.

I highly agree with you! It's so sad that most people are being fooled by promoting that a sin isn't a sin just because for their sake. People mislead others by saying that you're being misled and keep on misleading them. And finally, evil does what it wants to do through them. They claim that others are not correctly reading and comprehending the scriptures, but they fail to recognize that they themselves do not comprehend. Sometimes, they don't know what they're saying or doing!

I have 5 tattoo's and when I came to Christ He laid it on my heart to never get another one. Now, everybody is different, and maybe God did not lay it on another persons heart to seize getting tattoo's. From a personal stand point, I feel it is sinful to mark up your body; and if I could I would get rid of them all.

Most people go to Leviticus 19:28 where it says, You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks upon you: I am the LORD. But then some will use Leviticus 19:27 which says,You shall not shave around the sides of your heads, neither shall you disfigure the corners of your beard. Some say that well if we cant tattoo ourselves then we cant shave our beard either. True and good point. The main Question we should ask ourselves is How will tattooing my body benefit me? WWJD? THINK ABOUT THAT. We, as Christians should follow Jesus' footsteps.

I'm not exactly religious but just because it doesn't fully benefit and it is completely unnecessary, it is more of a self expression. I'm not really sure what religion I am but whether I was a Christian or an Atheist I would want to get tattoos and piercings because its my way of self expressing myself. Its just like wearing a certain brand of clothing or shoes, its self expressing and showing what you think about that. Its also like liking a type of music, you love the music, like I like metal and post hardcore and heavier music so I listen to that and wear the band merch to express the music that I love. Even though the tattoo is permanent, its just a way to self express.

INTRODUCTION The entire Christian journey has one goal of Christianity, which is to be born again in Jesus Christ and be formed unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive. Therefore, the attention and our vocation and profession in Christ was not directed toward the desires of our flesh or carnal or worldly things, which is the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life 1John 2:15-17. For to be carnally minded is death. Rom 8:1-14 THE DECEPTION The deception of the Devil by Polished sleek- tongued fellow and subtle agencies, like the serpent of Genesis 3, is to reason away the Word of God from the supernatural or spiritual to appealing to the flesh or carnal mind. The devil resides in the flesh of man(see the works of the flesh Gal. 5:19-21) We are not under Levitical Era of Law but we are under Grace in Christ who fulfilled the law; tattoo was never part of HIM or what HE gave to us. HE gave unto us HIS LIFE, The HOLYGHOST, by purchasing our redemption and translating us into a new KINGDOM. And in the account of the works and life of the HOLYGHOST in the Apostles and Disciples, TATTOO was never in there because their lives were focused in the Kingdom of (Christ)Heaven. Col.3:1-11. Misquoted/Misapplied Scriptures: Leviticus 19:28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD. Cuttings in the flesh alone was referred to the dead here but the marks or tattoos was never to be done at all let alone being dedicated to the dead. Revelation 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. THE QUESTION TO ASK THE SATAN'S ORATOR IS: Was Jesus's thigh not covered by His VESTURE COVERING? Maybe from HIS Waist down was exposed to see the TATTOOs in them. Revelation is a book of signs and symbols and metaphors. PLEASE, DO NOT BE DECEIVED BY PEOPLE OWN VIEW. You got to know God for you . You need that personal relationship with God not someone else's Set your affections on things above not on things in the earth.

So those who claim that tattoo's make a "covenant with the devil" how could that be so if every time I look at my arm I am reminded of who I belong to? I am reminded to pray and show love and mercy even in the worst storms. If anything, I felt anger from the devil when I got this tattoo, and I also felt the love from God. I did it to show Jesus that I offer EVERYTHING to HIM. It's also a way to start a conversation about Jesus to nonbelievers now. I agree with Jeff in this video.

+Nicholas Smith Brother, Christian Tattoos are not biblical and it is an oxymoron. No matter if it is a Cross or a Scripture, covenants with demons are still being made because Tattoos is apart of Witchcraft through Bloodletting and Shamanism. A Tattooist is known to be called a Shaman and when you allow him to cut your flesh, you are participating in a Shamanic Blood Ritual and demons can be invited. God told the Israelites over and over again in Deuteronomy NOT to copy what the Pagans were doing for it was an abomination unto God. Jesus doesn't want any one cutting their flesh, that is not the way we glorify God. (John 4:24) (Romans 12:1-2)Many people have made this mistake in getting so called Christian Tattoos, not understand that demons are the ones to encourage us to get them. This has actually been seen before in Church and people have manifested demons that were connected to tattoos of Butterflies, Crosses, Scriptures, Animals, Hearts, Stars, Flowers, etc.Please repent and ask the Lord to reveal the truth to you.

I'm glad you're a Christian, man, but I honestly couldn't disagree more. I know people who have tats, even one's like you have, and they say it was a mistake. The verses you gave about the meat were pretty much erased later when, I think it was Paul, said it was OK, and the Bible is always careful to make sure that whenever it replaces something, it's specific. So specific, that the example of meat and other things you gave were clearly erased whereas the tattooing was not. Now the fact that it had roots in paganism should send alarms off. "Be ye holy, for I am holy." So if you're supposed to be sanctified, and separate, why do something with roots in heavy paganism? Another thing is after you're saved, your body doesn't belong to you, it belongs to God. So let's say that you see the house you used to have, right? Well if you spray paint it, that's considered vandalism because it doesn't belong to you. So if you "Spray paint" the temple of God, how is that not vandalism? You're body doesn't even belong to you after you're saved... so tattoos are, in essence to a saved person, vandalism. The 1 Corinthians verse you gave also implies not defiling yourself. Now granted, it was talking about sexual relations not conforming to God's will, but it can still be applied to tattoos, just like 1 Peter 3:3-4 can be applied as well. Take a look at what it says. "3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price." So obviously there, it's talking about the apparel of women, but it may be able to be applied to other issues. Take a look. (Note, this is from gotquestions.org) "Granted, this passage is directed at Christian women, but there is a principle here that may be apropos: namely, a person’s external appearance should not be the focus of our attention. Much effort goes into “elaborate hairstyles” and “fine clothes” and jewelry, but that’s not where a woman’s true beauty lies. In the same way, tattoos and body piercings are “outward adornment,” and we should be careful to give more effort to the development of the “inner self,” regardless of our gender." I think that is very well said. I have voiced my opinion, and now am done. If anybody (Christians who hold the position of the video poster specifically) want to voice an argument or rebuttle to my comment, I am open to friendly debate.

Also, let's say for example, you're an atheist, and you're looking for a "practical" reason not to get a tattoo. OK, much like with many other sinful practices, you can get blood transmitted diseases from the infected needles used to inject the ink for the tattoo into the body. So even from a worldly sense, tattoos JUST DON'T MAKE SENSE. Oh yeah, get one to look cool, 60 years down the road, you think it was a dumb decision, you can't even remember what it looked like originally, and, oh, by the way, you might get a disease.

Love, truth, relationship with Him, forgiveness, etc. So all of these arguments are mute... And now ok, that verse about "not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair" etc. is a good point... but then why do you buy big name brands? Nike, Maxed, Rolex, etc.? Same argument.

Its kind of sad to see all the negative comments put out for this guy sharing the truth. First off Love each other, "love" i have read over 20 comments critiquing him. Now that's a lot of hypocrisy right there and you know who you are. God will not sit on his thrown and judge you for your tattoo. Yes if its no honoring him he will, but for all those people out there that are complaining and judging people over a video like this, Read the book of James it wont take you very long at all, understand it and use it in your life when treating others and respecting and loving others, for saying hes a "false prophet" and completely judging him, that is wrong. For God looks at our hearts and sees if we are glorifying him with our life. Turn this issue to the heart and look at the context. clearly most of the people that have commented on this probably never read Any... i say again.. any of what scripture has to say about this. In today's culture people try to attack other brothers and sisters in Christ with scripture before they ever know the full context of it. please i ask to love eachother and act like the followers of Christ you claim to be.

Unfortunately no sorry my friend but its the people like you that are dangerous and are the reason why people are lead astray from Christ, You dont look at the context of scripture then you go out and attack and persecute fellow believers of the Lord with scripture in an unhealthy way without knowing what is really saying, then you sit online and wait for someone to say something that doesn't line up with what YOU believe. But in reality you dont know what you're doing or saying, in fact you probably dont dive into the word regularly to identify what is being said in scripture. What he said is right from scripture... right from it and you're sitting there saying nope not true, so you're denying what scripture says if you really wanna talk about not speaking truth. But hey when He returns and we stand before him, he will see where our hearts were at, he will judge and see how we were living and loving others and for glorifying him with our lives, I have a tattoo of Jesus on my arm and the word agape right next to him. i didnt get them for a false god. i got them for my Lord and savior and so when someone sees them they will ask me whos that on your arm and boom thats an opportunity for a seed to be planted in their life and to be able to share the gospel with them. And believe it or not but there are people in this world who are BLESSED with gifts of the spirit and use them in their lives, especially the gift of healing, and they my friend have tattoos and look at the context and think the same way as jeff and more than half of today's Christians think about tattoos. In the end if you really still feel compelled to criticizes others like i said before read the book of James. God Bless you and i encourage you to encourage people with the love of our Lord and Savior not bring them down. Even if you think you're right when maybe are wrong and vice versa in the end God will be the one who decides.

I actually have a pro life tattoo, and I've even been asked if it's a club stamp! It means ALOT to me as I wasnt supposed to be born! Her docs as shes told me, tried to get her to have an abortion when only about 2 months pregnant with me! She refused obvs and walked out saying her faith was stronger then them saying I'd never walk, talk, be "normal" (each person's diff in ways so I dont believe in their "normal") they even said I'd never have friends! They thought I'd died in my mum! Then i was told by my doc when I was a teen (I'd been having ALOT of issues so went to see her, and after tests, I was told that I was basically messed up beyond any kinda repair, so I'd never have kids. Well I do. I prayed to God down to how she'd look, and more, and God was far too kind as I do have a beautiful kid now, sadly my kiddo doesn't believe at all, but I hope and have prayed to Him and Jesus that someday my kiddo will! My sibling doesnt and acts as they do to where they, well, it's not a good thing sadly but that's never for me to judge, not my place, only He is allowed to do such! My Ancestors were Pagan actually, but me- I believe, I'm Spiritual and believe in Him for my reasons. Arigato for many of your vids and what you say in them! It makes me feel quite better!

If you look at Leviticus 19 as a whole Its about personal holiness. Christians who justify tattoos always mention the few verses that don't seem relevant for us today as to justify that tattoos in todays culture are OK. Well maybe we need to study more to learn what was a local law and what was a universal law. Here's what I read in leviticus that we would still honour today... You must be holy because I, the Lord your God, am holy. Respect for your mother and father. Do not put your trust in idols or make metal images of gods. Do not steal, Do not deceive, do not lie, do not insult, do not twist justice, judge fairly, do not gossip, do not stand idly by when your neighbours life is threatened, do not hate, confront sin, do not avenge, do not fortune tell, do not practice witchcraft, keep the sabbath holy, respect your elders, fear your God, love your neighbour, do not be dishonest, DO NOT TATOO! Yes these laws were given to the Jews in order to be Holy unto their God. To be separate. Thats why, in part they were not to wear clothes with mixed fabrics, no mixing, but separation to their God. It was, in part I believe symbolic. Now lets look at tattoos. Why do people get them? Usually to show off, look cool, make statements & self glorification not to mention they give a particular "look" of rebellion - therefore that alone is enough to say no. Whilst we are free to do anything, it does not mean we should or that it is a good witness. Sure Tattoos are art and Christians can have a Godly message but I think they are week arguments for an over arching issue. To be Holy unto God and be separate from this world. Not saying we live in a hut in the middle of no where but we are to try and live separate from the spirit of this age and instead live for the glory of God. I do not believe that people go to hell for tattoos, thats ridiculous. There is forgiveness for all who repent but should Christians go and get a tattoo? For me the answer is no because I do not believe a tattoo honours God but rather gives self glorification to the person who has one. Therefore for me tattoos are a form of idolatry and something to avoid. Plus they look awful! If christians started to read the bible, believe it literally where it is meant to be taken literally then we would not need to debate this subject because the bible is clear - no tattoos.

And when Christians say this is OK and thats OK and encourage us to do as the world does, I have an issue with that. What we must remember from Romans that we are Grafted into the vine and we must remain in him. One can easily fall away one step at a time when we dilute the world of God.I believe Christians who tattoo compromise! But hey, thats just me! Everyone has to follow the Lord and find out what pleases him, I'm not perfect either.

***** Would say no one is saying that tattoos or other culturally acceptable sins damn you to hell. But Paul taught over and over that Grace is not a reason to give room to sin. Proverbs 1 talks about the blessings God has for those who live and love his word. I hope to encourage Christians to examine themselves before His throne and fall in Love with His word. I know whenever I come before his thrown the smallest our most insignificant sin weighs like a boulder on my soul in light of everything Christ did to redeem me. What will it take for Christians to stop search for an excuse to fulfill the lust of the flesh and to turn their hearts to panting after God?

***** Not saying it's the unforgivable sin but at the very very least we are called to be different. Different in speech, different in attitude, different in love, different in how we present ourselves. Do we always live right? No, we fail but we should always get up and continue on the narrow way not wonder along the broad road that everyone else is walking on. Whilst is has become socially acceptable for Christians to mark their bodies does it make it right? In the same way some Christians are now embracing homosexuality as a normal thing. The two example are only linked in so much as where are we getting our reference points from? God and his Word or from culture, even culture in the church? It's too late for you, you have already marked your body but what about those who are considering it? Should Christians encourage this? I think not.

I personally would like to stay on the side of caution... and not hatin but you don’t need a tattoo to know your loved or forgiven, and I know you know that. But whether its right or wrong, it doesn’t matter our opinions. It matters what God says. And plus these bodies are carnal. They will pass away and God will give us glorified bodies in Heaven and in the new earth. But I won’t judge anyone if they have one or not. I can see why people say it’s Ok and I see why people say it’s not. I’m not a big tattoo person anyways. But I were to get one I would get something g about Jesus. But he’s coming soon anyways so there are big things to take care of rather than worrying about the outside things. If we let Jesus in on the inside, the outside will also be taken care of. If we just keep our eyes on Jesus it will all be ok! I Love your ministry! Jesus loves you!!!

Personally, Im a Christian, I have 15 tats, and I plan to get more. I have some in remembrance of family members who have passed not to idolize, but to remember, some with bible scripture, my children's names, some that have special meaning to me. You see, we are all sinners, you know that, I know that, God knows that. This video is right on! If taken INTO context, in Revelations, it DOES say Jesus comes back with markings on His thigh. In Leviticus, that was due to their health issues, and agreed, in Cor. it is about sexual immortality. Whether or not tattoos are a sin, is something I believe each Christian should pray about before getting one. I got MOST of mine before becoming a Christian. And the ones I got after, I prayed about. I personally believe that they are not a sin, BUT if you believe they are a sin, dont get one. It is something that is between God and the person who is getting a tattoo, not God and everyone else. My humble opinion on the matter. God bless!

You so easily lie saying I think myself better. I am not better but am better off because of Jesus Christ. Dude, if you embrace the evils of tattoos and are not convicted by the Holy Spirit that it is wrong, then I guarantee you are lost. The Lord is the good Shepard Who always convicts His sheep when they are sinning. You have no such conviction despite all the scriptures that tell you not to be like the world, that you are supposed to be a new creature, born again.... you are just playing religion to make yourself feel better as you stumble along in darkness headed for that terrible day when you realize your error.

Also, tattoos originated from Demonism, Shamanism, Paganism, Mysticism, Heathenism, and many other pagan beliefs.

Saw the "Jesus > Religion" years ago, and loved it. I guess I'm late to the party because I'm just now stumbling onto this channel! LOL! More great videos! Just adding my comment to this discussion: I respect the light-hearted spirit of the vid, and the "call" for civil, intellectual discussion...Not much of that online anymore. That being said... I somewhat disagree with the perspective on this topic. Many tattoos and their parlors have a somewhat occult vibe. Don't know what it is exactly, but there's just a discernment in the Spirit. Tattoos, also, tend to be for "show" and don't represent a meek and humble spirit, which we are called to model. In addition to this, we are all made in the image and likeness of God. We're His "babies" built in His spitting image! Not even the angels can put forth that claim! Why should we then PERMANENTLY alter this amazing image? Can we conceive some form of artwork to improve what God has done? In (1 Corinthians 10:23) Paul states: "All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not." Now I understand the context for the entire passage, and this verse would still be very appropriate for this situation; and is applicable to us while under the New Covenant of grace. The old Levitical laws and statutes were akin to city ordinances, and are like a "Best Practices" list for all of God's people to live by. Most of them are still good for US (Job - what can man profit God?), and we won't be any WORSE off if we abide by them. These statutes were written by the Hebrew leadership and were good to have an orderly people, as well as to be distinguished / separate from the "world." Jesus supersedes the dogma and legalism of those enforcing these endless statutes, while yet leaving the Commandments given to Moses intact. Those laws were written in the stone tablets by God Himself as our spiritual "mirror," and will stand forever. Amen... Thus, we can wear items of various materials and eat bacon, but we still TRY to not steal, kill, etc... But the main point is this: Although grace has made all of these ordinances "legal," they are still good for us and therefore "expedient." In my humble understanding, we should try to avoid tattoos. But either way, I know we can agree on the fact that Christ made it possible for all of us believers (flaws and all) to be in His presence forever! Be blessed, and keep pumping out HIT videos!

it wud be nice if your theology was correct doctrine. however so many Scriptures in both the old and new testaments teach 'blessed are those who *do* his commandments. and to love God is to obey His commandments. God places a lot more weight on obedience than our 'Christian culture does. I think there are 4 or 5 verses in the last chapter alone that refer to actions or doing or keeping His commandments. our works are very important to Him. more important than 'sloppy "Grace Christianity" admits'. commandments are commands. they are not best practices. a doctrine that calls His commandments 'best practices' is a luke-wark, watered down 'Christianity' that is fit to be thrown out. Jesus said whoever *does* His commandments, that is practices them is like a man wto builds his house on the rock. but the man who does not *do* them is like a man that builds his house on the sand. dude, enjoy your house with a sand foundation while it lasts, because ur house is going to get washed away. i'm only a brother who cares enuf to share with you the truth that the Word teaches us.

grace has *not* made murder legal. nor any commandment that God told His people not to do. any doctrine claiming such is a doctrine from demons, according to the Bible. the ten commandments include keeping the Sabbath day holy. commandments that didn't make it into the '10 commandments' also command some things, and prophecy in the last chapter of Zechariah teach us that God will hold 'all nations' accountable to keep one specific teaching (that your Bible translation probably mistranslates as a 'law'). Please do read the last chapter of Zechariah (14) and pray that you aren't one who will fall under that curse. it's real. this teaches us that God doesn't retract this 'law' (correct translation is a 'love teaching'). this is in direct contrast to what popular 'Christian' teachers teach. but they will reap the curse. they don't study to show themselves approved. :(

I hope this doesn't bring argument. Unless tattooing is harmful to the body (which it is really not much harmful as drinking a soda) it is not a sin. Our body is a temple but is getting a tattoo making the temple unholy somehow? It's Jesus that makes us holy. I saw a comment saying that it doesn't glorify God. I can agree. However many of the things we do don't glorify God but are more neutral. Watching tv... It does not glorify God. It's not making God mad. I mean as long as Watching tv doesn't take over your life. In fact... Debating this is not glorifying God. As long as you're not doing it to gain people's acceptance or something. If tattoos was looked at as a good thing and not something perpetual people usually do then I don't think this debate would be as controversy. I love the ending and i love this dudes wisdom. In the end it's all about just loving him faithfully. Whether you're gay or an adulterer it's all about loving one another and loving him.

I'm gonna quote my grandmother's favorite scripture/saying. "Work out your own soul salvation with fear and trembling". Seek Him and not some KZfaq video. The argument that we can't keep all of it is the same one atheists use to dismiss the whole word. "Live up to the whole passage"?? That is why Jesus had to come. We cannot live up to the word, but then again the word says "What shall we say then? Shall we continue to sin that grace may abound? God forbid!" We still aim to live right. We will continue to miss it. We don't look at things and justify them according to how many folks are doing them. Seek Him and He will give you peace about what pleases Him and not yourself.

Revelation 22:17: “Come! Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” Basically, with a whole bunch of other verses he's says come as you are. Both of my pastors has a tattoo. Wess Morgan has a tattoo. My dad has a tattoo. John 14:12:“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father." The Lord can use just as you are. Just like he does with Jefferson. And God changed from the Old Testament Him/Her in the New Testament. She/He was a loving, warm, forgiving God. Why can't God's people do the same with their views as the Lord did?🤔 (I say he/she because: A) God has no gender B) The Lord is describe as a mother when the Lord is nurturing, and a father when giving rules or giving you guidance. If you have a problem with it go read your bible.)

Gabby White LOL. Please do not take the context out scriptures to support sin. That is very carnal. Tattoos are a sin because of its connection to the occult. Any Christian that is getting tattoos needs to repent and ask the Lord to break any covenants made spiritually in the name of Jesus. God Bless Ephesians 5:11

Truth About Tattoos A) How was that sexual? B) I never said it was or wasn't okay to have tattoos. I said God can use you just as you are. C) Who are you to judge what he does? That's not your job only God's. We all have our interpretations off the scriptures. Which caused the different denominations we have, and which is exactly why you commented. Overall what I'm trying to say is let him be, let God work through however He wants to. Your not his judge, that's what's God is for. We as man can't decide what is sin ultimately that's, again, what God is for.

Gabby White A) lol Carnal means to act worldly. B) Yet, you used your Pastors as an example to justify your point. C) A child of God who speaks the truth. Actually, Paul the Apostle said we would judge the things within the Church and also tell our brothers and sisters in love when they are sinning. Galatians 6:1 We are not supposed to be sinning, if we sin we must repent. Tattoos are a sin because of witchcraft and those who get tattoos must repent and seek the Lord for deliverance. Sin is sin and if you're anyway defending it, you become an enemy of God. God Bless

Truth About Tattoos When I looked the word up it said "relating to physical, especially sexual, needs and activities" Sorry I'm not going to go back and forth with you because in my spirit it's saying that this will further upset me and become unhealthy. Have a nice night.

Gabby White Carnal- not spiritual; merely human; temporal; worldly: a man of secular, rather carnal, leanings. The devil doesn't want you to know the truth. That's what that tingling inside of you is. God Bless

@@elle8388 jesus also says he came not to change the law but to fulfilled the law which means the law of the old Testament has not been changed for the new testament we are still told to obey the laws God has made. Jesus never changed the law. We christians can't just pick and trash what ever scripture we want or don't want to follow we are to obey all the laws God has made not some of the laws. Jesus only came to become our final sacrifice to sabe us feom our sins he dis not come to change anything else. The bible already tells us this. But it's our choice to follow the laws of God or not. But as christians we are told to teach the words of God and to call out false teaching.

@@elle8388 Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness. Leviticus 19:29 This command is also never repeated anywhere else in the Bible just like verse 28. Does that make it right for the NT Christian?

Disciple of Christ Evangelists Teachings I have an honest question? How do u debunk the points made in the video about context? I think the man in this video is right about this context in particular, but I honestly am looking for God'S truth so, why is the context he is giving not accurate?
