vengeance is mine saith the Lord...so I am not to avenge mine or the Lord's enemies personally, avctively...in the same manner there are things, which God can do in the power of the Almighty...but I can't..like creating life...scientists try to imitate that.
It's a difference whether God has a mark/tattoo and gives me some mark/seal on the forehead or whatever...and whether I do it myself...a huge difference in my opinion...and people overlook that in their pro-tatto-argument...plus it is not in line with leviticuseither...and all laws are not abolished either...that is TFI-stance...to pick, what suits you...just dwelling on "love"...true God lookson the heart not the outside...still...can I do with my bodyjust what I want???
Moreover, I haven't seen yet a tasttoo which made the bearer "prettier"...they look disgusting to me...most to all of the time...and I see plenty of them.
I respect those nonetheless...who take upon such choice...but never would do it myself.
1Th 5:23 And 1161 the very 846 God 2316 of peace 1515 sanctify 37 you 5209 wholly 3651; and 2532 [I pray God] your 5216 whole 3648 spirit 4151 and 2532 soul 5590 and 2532 body 4983 be preserved 5083 blameless274 unto 1722 the coming 3952 of our 2257 Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547.
besides the scripture of the body being the temple of the Holy spirit...I am not for it, to boost the "prettiness" by having some "ornaments" of own design...
likewise I find beauty surgery for the common man not really the right thing to undergo, seeking "beauty" in life...it's about inner beauty...spiritual gifts/values...
I find your testimony touching and whether you have tattoos or not, I consider you my brother in Christ...
I knew some precious people in TFI, who had tattoos from before in life...they regretted having them...
In life I encounter countless people having tattoos...I don't think there is a fair amount of money which should motivate me to copy their "sport"...I rather have a pimple or two ; ) ...or some scars...hurts/wounds of life...the hard side of life.
I don't think it's a chance to witness either ???
Likewise TFItried to become "one"...Paul became one like that???
wish you all the best...the Lord's abundant blessings
