Justin Bieber Debuts Tattoo Of His First Love

It is Biblical not to tattoo, Christian boy!

Actually, that is not true. The bible passage usually quoted when people say this is Leviticus 19:28. If you take a look at the entire passage, however, as well as biblical commentaries about the matter, you will find that God was talking to his covenant people of Israel, telling them not to mark their bodies as a part of cult worship. The verses in question also talk about God not wanting his people to cut their hair a certain way and not to eat bloody meat. These were all things that the cult worshipers around them were doing, but that the people of Israel were told not to do.

Given this, it is biblical not to tattoo in a way similar with cult worshipers from ancient times. By the way, their process of tattooing involved cutting the skin and inlaying ink, which is not the same as what is done now.

Another bible commentary explains the "tattooing" talked about in Leviticus by saying:

"The practice of making deep gashes on the face and arms and legs, in time of bereavement, was universal among the heathen, and it was deemed a becoming mark of respect for the dead, as well as a sort of propitiatory offering to the deities who presided over death and the grave."

This explanation is completely different from how tattooing is done, as well as why it is done. Therefore, unless there is another phrase you can point to in the Bible where it specifically says not to put tattoos on your body, then Justin Bieber, as well as every other Christian who gets inked, has done nothing wrong.

Christians are covenant people of Israel or "Spiritual Israel". While I am certain that Justin and others will not be denied access to Heaven with tattoed skin, nevertheless the whole Bible is the Word of God and while receiving salvation is not dependent on following the Law, knowing Him and being His good and faithful servant is, also ruling and reigning, etc. etc. etc. I'm not quoting any scriptures here because in effect the whole Word of God, from Genesis to Revelation, needs to be observed for a full walk with Him. Leviticus 19:28 is clearly against tattoos, it doesn't matter how they are done, they are marks of the flesh and of life in the flesh, in other words, walking a compromise. Dying to self isn't popular these days but it remains necessary.

So essentially we need to follow the Bible word for word if we are going to be a Christian. That means women should cover their hair in church (do you do that?), and we should also not speak in church, according to the Old Testament. I'm sorry, but as a Christian I have to disagree. God made covenants with the people of Israel before the New Testament that are not followed by Christians today, because the majority of them understand that it is a covenant that God made BEFORE Jesus was born….The New Testament is the new covenant he has made with us. I'm sorry, but as a Christian (with Christian tattoos) I have to disagree. My tattoos have actually been a better way to talk about my faith than simply telling them what I believe.

The New Covenant was made because the Old Covenant was too difficult to keep, not because the Old Covenant is no longer valid – it is valid and we are meant to walk it in Christ, who made it possible to keep – not accept Him and then live in the flesh. I challenge you to ask the Holy Spirit to lead you into God's purpose for your life. All the best.

I'm sorry, but you imply I have not yet done that. I have, and I am, thank you. I, in turn, would be interested in knowing if you are living out everything that is mentioned in the Old Covenant, seeing as that is what you believe. I can assure you that I am living God's will for my life.

You imply that I have not already done that. I hope that doesn't mean that you judge me, because of something I have said (that is not biblical). I choose to live my life the way God wants. I choose to try and show my faith through my actions, which is what Jesus calls for, instead of simply telling people, then being hypocritical. I don't know how you live your life, but I hope that you are living what you are writing (which means living the Old Testament to the letter), if that is what you truly believe. I wish the best for you as well.

Thank you. I don't suggest you live the OT to the letter, nor do I – as I am sure you know, the letter killeth but the Spirit giveth life – my point is that the OT is also the gospel.

I agree, it is also the gospel. At the same time, I suppose my point is that I don't see anything wrong with Christians having tattoos. I have found them a good witnessing tool. Perhaps that is what Bieber is doing as well. I'm glad he's not afraid of showing his faith.

The gospel says not to tattoo – so it is wrong to do it.

You are missing my point. I am not going to continue to defend my position to you, when you obviously have not been listening to what I have said. You cannot take one specific thing from the Old Testament and say it is wrong, when you admit that you do not follow every commandment set in the same Testament. That is more than a little bit hypocritical, which is what is wrong with so many Christians today. Give it up. God will judge, not you.

wow…ppl dying every single day, wars being fought around the world and people starving without food. we are talking about this stupid tattoo. Just send him to North Korea and get it over it. no will ever hear from him again. what a selfish SOB.
