As I said..Jesus fulfilled the law and now we live in the New Covenant but you can live under the Old Covenant you want. There are 613 laws for you to keep up with..best of luck with that...
As far as glorifying God with your body. Utah has a tattoo that says Jesus is Lord, and King..and Savior too ( I think ) This would be glorifying God.
I don't have any tattoos and I don't plan on getting any but I am against legalists that put bondages and condemnation on other believers....just because they believe something different from OC law keeping.
This scripture comes in handy in situations like this..
Romans 14:22 (NASB)
[SUP]22 [/SUP] The faith which you have, have as your own conviction before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.
If you don't like them...don't put them on but in the same token don't put legalistic personal choices unto other believers either.
If you want to live by the letter of the law...go to it!..Be my guest. This is the last I'll be posting on this subject as it this is non-productive. Have a great night! God bless you...

Make up? I think you added to" the word there didnt you? You have misinterpretted scripture because you have not truly studied the context. God will hold you accountable for putting yourself in a position to be a teacher when it is evident that you clearly are NOT!
Matthew Henrys commentary on 1Peter 3:3:
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]"Here are three sorts of ornaments forbidden: plaiting of hair, which was commonly used in those times by lewd women; wearing of gold, or ornaments made of gold, was practised by Rebecca, and Esther, and other religious women, but afterwards became the attire chiefly of harlots and wicked people; putting on of apparel, which is not absolutely forbidden, but only too much nicety and costliness in it. Learn, First, Religious people should take care that all their external behaviour be answerable to their profession of Christianity: They must be holy in all manner of conversation. Secondly, The outward adorning of the body is very often sensual and excessive; for instance, when it is immoderate, and above your degree and station in the world, when you are proud of it and puffed up with it, when you dress with design to allure and tempt others, when your apparel is too rich, curious, or superfluous, when your fashions are fantastical, imitating the levity and vanity of the worst people, and when they are immodest and wanton. The attire of a harlot can never become a chaste Christian matron. [2.] Instead of the outward adorning of the body, he directs Christian wives to put on much more excellent and beautiful ornaments,

One question though, so many people are saying tattoos are wrong and sinful and as I said before I disagree with you.
Well, what about the men who served in the military and received a tattoo during their service? I mean c'mon when we are go to heaven won't we get new bodies anyhow? What we have on our current bodies won't matter

Im not against tattoos per se but I just think they should fall under the appropriate context for a christians life. They should be modest and they should not possibly cause another to stumble.
Paul said we have liberties (to an extent of course) and I stand by the word. We want people to see our hearts and that is what matters. Anything that distracts from that should be modified because we are no longer in the world but aliens to it. Im sure your cross has given you many an opportunity to witness to the lost. That is a wonderful thing! Your cross glorifies our KING!
I wouldnt tell anyone not to get a tattoo because it is not a salvation issue. I hope I worded this right. Its almost my bedtime
Blessings

This is another good scripture from Paul just for general considerations:
Titus 3:9 (NASB)
[SUP]9 [/SUP] But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and strife and disputes about the Law, for they are unprofitable and worthless.
Romans 7:6 (NASB)
[SUP]6 [/SUP] But now we have been released from the Law, having died to that by which we were bound, so that we serve in newness of the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter.
Ok...this was definitely my last post about the law...lol

You are fine my sister...you are the Lord's absolute favorite and He loves the way you love Him and He loves to just be with you. The Holy Spirit inside you will lead you in all things and He doesn't use condemnation, guilt or shame ..and our Lord does not sub-contract those out to the enemy. Don't let the legalists disturb you. All is well!....
God bless you Grace!! Thank you!!! I love the lord with all of my heart I would never do anything to upset him. I always want to do 100% right by the lord. If my tattoos are in fact sinful of course I will repent. I would do anything for God, he is my savior. I try my best to be a good Christian and serve the lord justly.
