Warning: This will be controversial & there's a high chance of you not agreeing with this. I have probably heard it all. I've gotten quite a TON of ridicule and harrassment on this topic, so save....or not.
So I have decided to do a 6 post "series" if you will, however infrequent or frequent, on my tattoos. (What!? She has tattoos! But she's a Christian!) Yes I know. Taboo, right? I bet I know what verse you're running to right now...*drum roll please*....Leviticus 19:28. In which it says, "You shall not make any cuts on your body for the dead or tattoo yourselves: I am the LORD". Please read that in context, as well as in light of Christ's sacrifice. Leviticus 19:27 states "You shall not round off the hair on your temples or mar the edges of your beard." Clearly, no one should ever shave or trim their beards or side burns either. And now, Romans 7:6 "“But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code".
So, how's that for an introductory?
I hope now we are at least some what on the same page - but you still have your opinions; you still have your views. I understand that; like I said before - I've probably heard it all. But, I do not believe that it would have been fair of me to start this little "series" without giving you some biblical back-up. So now we can move on to tehe stories which are generally asked every few months.
