I do not have a tattoo. In truth, if I got one, I do not know what it would say.....

There has been some Biblical inspired posts concerning not having a tattoo....specifically Leviticus 19:28.
The trouble is, Leviticus tells us a bunch of stuff we ignore....( and other Biblical commands.)
Leviticus 11:8 says we shouldn't eat or even touch pork.
Leviticus 11:10 says no shrimp, lobster, crawfish, crab, or catfish.
Leviticus 19:19 says no fabric blends.
Deuteronomy 23:1 says a man can't be allowed in church with testicles or a penis....so, if you've lost them to say cancer, or an accident, your out of luck.
Mark 10:8-12 says no divorce....and if you remarry after your divorce, you are committing adultery.
1 Timothy 2:9 says you should not wear gold....or pearls.
Deuteronomy 25: 11-12 says if your wife defends you against an attacker by grabbing the attacker's genitals, you must cut your wife's hands off.
Look, having a tattoo is not going to keep you out of heaven, not eating pork, not wearing gold, not eating fried catfish all fall under this works business.
Grace and grace alone is getting you to heaven....not skipping bacon on your cheeseburger...my favorite verses always will be Ephesians 2:8-9...go read it.
