Discuss Leviticus 19 Page 6

If you don't believe in Jesus & the bible,which is the word of God.Jesus Christ created everything & was in the old testament.Your going to interpret the Bible on how you want it to say & not what God is saying.This scripture says:'You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD.
- New American Standard Version (1995)

You obey what the word of God says.If you did this to your self:Repent & don't do this anymore.God will forgive you.

And to those who love saying:Your judging me.That scripture is referring to when you stand before God on judgment day.

Leviticus 19:27 is one of my favorite Bible versus... Jesus Christ NEVER had a hair cut or any type of clean shave. He also didn't have the tools needed to do so. Basically the verse is telling God's children, us, to be completely natural no hair cuts no shaving Just natural. I don't think you will go to hell for shaving or getting a hair cut but I don't, I don't shave or cut my hair some people like it some people don't. If God didn't want men to have beards he wouldn't have created them. If he wanted people to be bald he would have made us all bald. In This day and age 2013 for the most part especially in the city areas in the united states people rarely look like the people did back in Bible times... The goal for a Christian is to be more and more like Jesus Christ everyday. God didn't make anything bad, people make things bad. I will not shave, I am 19 years old and masculine and comfortable with myself. "With God All things are possible." - Matthew 19:26 I would like to also say everything isn't for everybody... Just because I look good with a Big beard and a lot of hair doesn't mean the weather man with a haircut and a clean shave would too... Everything isn't for everybody... Thank you and God Bless

I recently got a tattoo and its gonna be my last after reading all these comments. But can I still make heaven with this on my skin? I wanna be closer to God. Scared of the pains and I can't even afford the expenses of removal. God bless you all. Amen.

Thou shall not hold grudge against the children of the Lord,for he is the Lord our God,he hears out our prayers. Those who betray us we forgive them without judging them,but put them in God,for us we don't have a right to cast stones.

It Is plain and simple. Don't do it. It's what the Lord says. End of story.

Mike, we were taught in bible study that a woman's hair was something to treasure and take care of. It was said that a woman could not enter the gates of heaven with short hair. I thank GOD that my hair grows extremely fast. I cut my hair once a year when it reaches below my shoulder blades, because I have thick full hair and the weight of it causes me to have headaches. The last time I cut it, and I cut it in a short-bob, was September 30th 2012, here it is a year later and it is the same length as when I cut it.

There are many women who would never think of cutting their hair, but there are those that feel that they have to go with the flow of trying something "new."
But it is not our physical body but our spirit that stands before GOD, so I think HE will see us for what were are, the before creatures that HE created. We are all beautiful in HIS eyes, no matter what others may think of us, HE is all that matters!!!!

I am of Irish descent, and have wanted to get a "trinity" tattoo for a very long time. After researching what the scriptures say about marking your body, "the temple of God" I changed my mind. Pagans have marked themselves throughout history, so I can understand GOD wanting to keep his people's bodies clean and free of markings. There are many ways of honoring your loved ones other then tattooing your body with their portrait or name.

this coment is for Ernie so you were a cop for 17 years.you sure have learned to judge pepole.that is just as much as a sin as tattooing notice how i spelled tattoo.learn how to spell it before you talk about it this is what is wrong with christians we judge.and the lord said judge not least you be judged.and yes piericing the ears is a sin also. im covered in tattoos and love the lord. Ernie you are going to make society say look at those christians judging me for the way i look. by the way being over weight is a sin also need me to go on cause i can.

its not your body,dont do it. psychology studies relate that low self esteem and COWARDICE prompt people to get tatoos to exhibit "look at me Im tough" I gotta tatoo. Seriously! it is selfish craving attention when Jesus say become selfless. SPend the $200-$1000 dollars buying someone lunch instead. "why do you spend money on things other than food that sustains." Tatoos are just nasty. I always ask "Hey what did you go in for?"(prison) After being a cop for 17 yrs priorities of criminals are screwed up..tatoos,beer,drugs,cigarettes,big rims on my car,loud stereo,..forget feeding and providing for the children created in a drunken stupor...but look at my cool tatoo and my obama phone and food stamps. Why do you want to look like a ex-con? To instill fear in other people. thats the technique of the devil. Have a nice day. you cant eat that tatoo.but hey your cool and Im not. Jesus still loves you.

Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal,
The Lord knoweth them that are His.
And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from inquity. 11 Timothy 2:19

Leviticus Chapter 9 is telling us about MOISES receiving instructions from God to speak to the children of Israel that they SHOULD be HOLY because HE is HOLY stating ALL HIS COMMANDMENTS (v.1-37) saying, "Therefore shall ye OBSERVE ALL my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the LORD" (v.37). LET US "OBSERVE AND DO" THEM "STRICTLY" AND "WITHOUT QUESTIONING" SO THAT WE SHALL BE FOUND "HOLY" IN THE "SIGHT" OF GOD.

O sing unto the Lord a New Song; for He hath done marvellous things: His Right Hand, and His Holy Arm, hath gotten him the Victory. ( Psalms 98:1)

Context and content, he is separating his people from a pagan cult, do we in America have pagan cults that are doing this now,hum? Also shaving the head? We can't pick and choose what we want to believe.Other scriptures talk about a women hair being long, most women have hair as short as mens hair in the church today, is this a sin also,hum?Think hard before stating a opinion, understand the context and content first!

The scripture in question is referring to pagan cults that mark their bodies to morn the dead, do we have pagan cults in America that do this now,hum?It also talks about the hair not to be shaven. You need to understand the context and content before forming a opinion and using it on Americans.

There are many things that are sin. God gives us insight into his thinking. Don't purposely tat or damage your body is one. Sin actual meaning is an archery term which means "to miss the mark" God created this world with priciples to live guides on how to best live this life. So you don't grieve the one who gave you this beautiful life to live. If you are a Christian you were bought with a price don't purpose to live against God but with Him so your life is blessed.

I BELIEVE THE SCRIPTURE IS UNDERSTANBLE,BUT THE ONCES WHICH UNDER THE FLESH WILL TWIST THE VERSE BECAUSE THEY STILL HAVE AN ENVY FOR THE WORLD.

..We overcame him by the BLOOD of JESUS and the word of our testimony...( Rev 12:11)

Love one another with true heart go God .

Too many so called Christians are trying to bend and twist Gods word to fit what they want into their life,It does NOT matter what you may say you think,if Gods Written Word
says otherwise and you continue to convince yourself it doesn't mean what it says you are in some serious trouble!

Thou shalt not take the fecal droppings of a bull and call it a law.

This comment is fro Actavius; I want to help you with as much as possible according to scripture please read Leviticus 19:28 which discourages this practice. God is the same yesterday and forever, ask the Holy Spirit help you understand His word. I recently commented on this subject, and encouraged all who have made this mistake to not allow the Devil to trip you into thinking just because you made this mistake in your past to keep you from giving your life over to Jesus because you did not know what God's word said about it. This is a forgivable sin, and God winks at our ignorance when we are void of the truth. But you see that's why its important to read your Bible; and ask God to lead you to a Church that teaches the whole truth about God's word. There are some out there. Read ( Psalm 32:8-9) and also read ( Acts 17:24-30) ( Ephesians 4:11-14) and finally ( I Corinthians 6:17-20) and you will find out that your body belongs to God, and if he wanted you to have a tattoo he would have given you a birth mark (Smile) Love You with the Love Christ Jesus!! You shall Know the Truth, and the Truth Shall Make You Free!! Amen!

my God is forever more greater the greatest......am happy for the book of life bible....

each christian has his or her own relationship with the father, which also means spiritual level of understanding,in all things there is prayer and supplication, then discernment that will come.
Your heart will be convicted what to or not to do

Christine I agree with you: leviticus 19:20 also potrays a similar scenerio though not the same as this one. But in the handmaid is saved from death because she was not free to make a choice. Our God is full of compelling comp***ion. .

Now I understand why Jesus has long hair. :D

I believe that God is calling me to a dark place to witness to those who will not be reached other than from us who believe and look like them. I have peace. I have His Spirit. Amen

I agree it's wrong for several reasons, one is that the law says not to do it. Another is that piercing and tattoos scare the body. Although we can't see this, our skin sends messages throughout the body and if it is scared the natural healing can not take place. We become block and then we get sick. God created our bodies and he should know what is good for us. Another thing is idolatry, cutting yourself or putting a tatoo of your dead loved ones on your body is exactly what he says not to do. The good news is that when you get born again your under grace and so you get a clean slate. Don't do it again.

What about earrings and piercings? Is that not cutting yourself?

is it n't what is happening now?hence this consequences,as i said,God is n't a man that u can mock,4 whatsoever u sow,so shall u reap.
