I will pray for u Angel,I do believe ur the rebel,sorry.I know Jesus had better things to do with His time than want or even think about getting tattoos.He was working n glorifying His Father,I think thats what ya'll should b doing instead of wasting time n God's money on getting tattoos.Thats my opinon,I believe God will agree with me.
Some people wear Christian t-shirts simply to show off their love for God and would probably smirk or say "it's just a shirt" if they were asked about it, or not know what the verse that's referenced on their shirt actually says if they were asked about it.
How would we be "wasting God's money" if the tattoo glorified Him? If the tattoo gave us an opportunity to evangelize someone, who are you to judge?
And please stop using phrases like "God would agree with me" or "God would be on my side of this argument" or "I'm just saying what God would say" to make your opinions seem more legitimate than those of other people. You don't know what God would do or say in the situation any more than His own disciples did. As a matter of fact, if we did half of the things Jesus did in His time on earth, we would get very different reactions from what He received. Times have changed, a lot, and I'm sure if Jesus lived in these days instead, He would act differently than when He was actually around. He'd probably use power tools in His carpentry work... but I digress.
There are two sides to every debate. Obviously God wouldn't be on both sides, and it's quite unfair to try and force Him to be on your side. Let the debate settle that itself. If you can't think of a valid, biblical reason to contradict someone, don't use God to try and validate your opinion, just accept it as what it is: an opinion; nothing more, nothing less, and not a commandment.
If you don't like tattoos, that is fine, nobody is forcing you to get one or even asking you to like them. We're trying to figure out if, BIBLICALLY, they are a sin or not. If you have a verse that would prove they're sinful, then don't keep it to yourself. If you have an opinion on tattoos being gross or ugly or a waste of time and money, do keep it to yourself, or return any Christian jewelry or home decor you have to keep from looking like a hypocrite.
