Tattoos are not the mark of the beast.

The law dont speak about them tattoos in a positive light tho:

Leviticus 19:28 You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks on you: I am the LORD.

Do you really got something that important to say that you gotta permanently print it on ya? Most of the tattoos are dumb designs anyway. Aint it strange how people always claim they get tattoos "for themselves" and not for other people? As if they could see their own back tattoo.
Lol good point with the back tattoo. Its like yeah these tattoos are just for me cause I love art thats why I have kermit the frog on my back holding an m-16. And im like...okay takes all kinds to make the world go around I guess :|

The humblest man I ever ran across was a crabber who was covered in tattoos. I marveled at this after I left and then I remembered the disciples were fishermen. I used to serve crabbers and fishermen when I worked at a bar on the Chesapeake Bay. They are a rowdy bunch. And this humble man I met years later looked like them but he was nothing like them. I didn't want to leave him and our conversation because I saw my Lord in him so clearly. A meek and humble man covered in tattoos is not what one expects. And what a lesson to see that he was more like my Lord than any man I had ever met in a suit and tie. If anyone could ever help the church out of their spirit of religion, it would have to be a man like that, but they would cow him by their unapproving glares and disdainful stares and judge him with law he is no longer under.
Yes mentality within the spiritual and ignore the ones who criticize just to be negative.

i'm chalking this up to poor phrasing; i know you don't deny the resurrection

it was not the same Jesus but the resurrected.

Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself!
Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.

(Luke 24:39)

He was never, is never, and never will be "not God"
to appear in the upper room is a trivial thing for Him. it doesn't demonstrate that He became '
more powerful' than the omnipotence He always has.

You are definitely right and sound like a great parent. Im sorry to hear that about your son but it doesn't sound like it slowed him down in the slightest :) Some tats are purely significant and does have meaning rather than look at me art. For me the most significant is 777 on my neck. After I got that every single day to the point of being almost annoying I will see 777 written in the most random places. It makes me wonder how far can coincidence really be blamed before the realization hits that it goes so much deeper than what I can comprehend.
i'm not sure i believe in coincidence? but i do believe in Providence. :)

because my communication skills can be woefully lacking, i wanted to ask, you understood what i was saying, right? :eek:

your Father in heaven loves you. :)

That is a great way to look at it in a way i never considered :) battle scars from this war called life lol
Just remember even through times you thought you walked on your own, of your own will...He carried you even then.

Im being led to say something to anyone who will listen...because this is kinda much of my calling from the Lord...I'm not here to argue and thats not the purpose. If you question this be careful because this is from the one true King Jesus Christ. We all have a purpose to serve in some way for the Lord if we walk with the Lord according to His will. God has known before the beginning...when there was GOD, the way we would each stumble...and each of us through our transgressions have a purpose directly related to those sins to directly help those on the same path to find a new one through His glory for His glory. Christians judge not. Gods got this.

Correct! It is always about what hearts motivation is or was. Some have gotten tattoos AFTER meeting God. Such as "Jesus saves" or a bible verse, etc. Did they do it for attention to themselves? Did they do it from great love? THAT involves heart motivation.

Man judges outwardly but God looks at the heart.
I do not believe a person should get a tattoo if they have confessed Jesus as Lord and Savior,unless they do not understand,but if a person has a tattoo before confessing Christ,the tattoos do not mean anything then.

I do not believe a person should have a tattoo,but people learn as they go along in their walk with Christ.

Matt, I respect your views. I feel the same. See I walked with the Lord early in my life and then I fell. I went through yet more strife and hard learned lessons...but things like my tattoos is testimony to my walk when He woke me up because He let me hit the absolute bottom...Amen
Our God is love. He always loves even when we sin...He doesn't love our sin.

The mark of the beast is choice. And if i'm forced to get a tattoo against my will it is not the mark of the beast. God will judge the heart.

Most definitely agreed. Trials and tribulation makes us stronger depending on how its looked at. If you ever need someone to listen then ill be all ears for it without hesitation.

I agree TMS, the mark will be a choice. I believe that the reference to him "forcing" all people to receive that mark is that, cash, checks, card swiping, cell phone bank apps and all other methods of buying and selling will be made obsolete, so that only that mark/device will be valid for electronic crediting and debiting. This will "force" the inhabitants to either receive it or to reject it. Those who reject it will be those great tribulation saints who reject it for the sake of being obedient to God, keeping the testimony of Christ and the word of God. Those who do receive it will do so to save their own lives here and by doing so will forfeit their eternal life. (Rev.14:9-12)

That's a parable that requires the prescription given in 2 Cor, 4:18 to find the spiritual not seen the faith law. The spiritual understanding is hid. God does not have flesh he remains without form.
Jesus will have to be in a glorified body when He returns to start His millennial kingdom...

Acts 1:9–11
[FONT=&quot]9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.[/FONT]
