Bible Discussion Thread

Tattoo is a craze but I am listing the reasons for my advocacy against it. First, Most people who are for it defend it as an artform. The designs at executed well over in one 's body. Good for the moment. Now comes the question what becomes of it when the human skin used as a canvass becomes old and dilapidated, no longer the body of a young healthy individual but that of a wrinkled medium of a seventy year old host. It would be an overstatement to brand tattoos as a form of art because it can never outlive genuine canvasses like those used by picasso or da vinci. Second, in biblical context, the mandate is prohibition. If Christ was in favor of tattoos, He could have one made for himself. Third, If there was a way of putting it over the body, then there is also a way of removing it. Those in Christ will not find it difficult to remove it only to erase the semblance of paganism of one 's past.
