Discuss Leviticus 19 Page 7

Love one another with true heart go God .

Too many so called Christians are trying to bend and twist Gods word to fit what they want into their life,It does NOT matter what you may say you think,if Gods Written Word
says otherwise and you continue to convince yourself it doesn't mean what it says you are in some serious trouble!

Thou shalt not take the fecal droppings of a bull and call it a law.

This comment is fro Actavius; I want to help you with as much as possible according to scripture please read Leviticus 19:28 which discourages this practice. God is the same yesterday and forever, ask the Holy Spirit help you understand His word. I recently commented on this subject, and encouraged all who have made this mistake to not allow the Devil to trip you into thinking just because you made this mistake in your past to keep you from giving your life over to Jesus because you did not know what God's word said about it. This is a forgivable sin, and God winks at our ignorance when we are void of the truth. But you see that's why its important to read your Bible; and ask God to lead you to a Church that teaches the whole truth about God's word. There are some out there. Read ( Psalm 32:8-9) and also read ( Acts 17:24-30) ( Ephesians 4:11-14) and finally ( I Corinthians 6:17-20) and you will find out that your body belongs to God, and if he wanted you to have a tattoo he would have given you a birth mark (Smile) Love You with the Love Christ Jesus!! You shall Know the Truth, and the Truth Shall Make You Free!! Amen!

my God is forever more greater the greatest......am happy for the book of life bible....

each christian has his or her own relationship with the father, which also means spiritual level of understanding,in all things there is prayer and supplication, then discernment that will come.
Your heart will be convicted what to or not to do

Christine I agree with you: leviticus 19:20 also potrays a similar scenerio though not the same as this one. But in the handmaid is saved from death because she was not free to make a choice. Our God is full of compelling comp***ion. .

Now I understand why Jesus has long hair. :D

I believe that God is calling me to a dark place to witness to those who will not be reached other than from us who believe and look like them. I have peace. I have His Spirit. Amen

I agree it's wrong for several reasons, one is that the law says not to do it. Another is that piercing and tattoos scare the body. Although we can't see this, our skin sends messages throughout the body and if it is scared the natural healing can not take place. We become block and then we get sick. God created our bodies and he should know what is good for us. Another thing is idolatry, cutting yourself or putting a tatoo of your dead loved ones on your body is exactly what he says not to do. The good news is that when you get born again your under grace and so you get a clean slate. Don't do it again.

What about earrings and piercings? Is that not cutting yourself?

is it n't what is happening now?hence this consequences,as i said,God is n't a man that u can mock,4 whatsoever u sow,so shall u reap.

With all the blood born sickness out here I see why Father God said not to do these things to ourselves.

Vs 18 Love thy neighbor as thyself! Established in the old testament, reinforced in the new. Halleluiah! Yahweh is merciful. He has laid out a path for mankind. Live for Yahweh not for what is popular. When it comes to the Sabbath, his word continues to speak to us. Let us confirm to His word.

Verses to consider.
Isaiah 49:15 and 16
(15) "Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!
(16) See, I [God] have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me.
Revelation 19:16
On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

Leviticus 19 also forbids wearing two mixed materials on the body (cotton/poly blend); Sewing seeds of a different kind next to each other; eating things with blood (filet medium rare or rare); and shaving around your head. For those who want to condemn tattoos (which weren't even called tatoos in Bible times)I would ask Do you eat steak medium rare, do you wear poly? Do you plant corn next to beans? Be careful of the judgments you lay on others. Read Matthew 23 to see how Jesus felt about the Pharisees doing that.

I am a Christian and I have a lot of tattoos. I regret getting them as I now realise what the word says, however this may just be Old Testament rules. (I don't know. I'm not God). Nontheless, a lot of people judge others by a little ink which is rediculous. Pull the log out of your own eye first. I don't believe a little bit of ink is going to keep you from God, but if you feel convicted from it, you probably shouldn't get the tattoo. It can also cause a lot of trouble when you try to get a job. You never know when you might lose the one you have now. If you do get ink, be prepared to be judged. One thing tattoos will do for you- they will open your eyes up to self righteous proud people.......you will be surprised just who these people will turn out to be. My advice.......don't do it

This scripture is so confusing to me .. i recently just found it while going through a friends facebook and was instantly intrigued by what it meant. I myself have tattoos but had no idea that this scripture existed. I have been trying to have a closer relationship with GOD but this has rattled me .. this whole chapter confuses me

this verse means not to shave or trim the sides of your head? aren't guys suppose to keep their hair short? just saying. if my side hair grows longer, it means I can't cut it right? I'm confused. I'm not against it or anything and I understand why we shouldn't cut our sides of our head but what happens if our side hair gets to long and feminine?

My feelings are if you are deaf or blind or handicapped; dim witted, you shalt not take advantage of the before-mentioned parties. God will avenge the persecutors verily.

No one can see God without holiness.. It is absent in many churches as well as repentance. Preachers are afraid to lose people so a different gospel is preached. One that the people want to hear that is safe and will allow many to live in sin and be accepted. Without holiness in the church, those without God will not be convicted of sin but put into a church program.

First, glory be to God the father of Jesus Christ. These verses state clearly what must not be done, because ROMANS 9:20 confirms the Old Testament.

I will start by saying I have no tattoos, but I'm not sure that it is wrong or that it’s ok. I do know that the Old Testament has a lot of truth today but not all. God also had them make sacrifices. The Old Testament was during a time when the Jews had to live under the LAW. When Jesus died on the cross it allowed people to be saved by Grace. We as Christians today are not called to live by the law. Not that most of the law can be applied to life today. So take what you want from it, but that’s how I look at a lot of Old Testament LAWS.

I believe God is saying is for real and we should be respected.

Haggai 1:6 describes the systems of any society that disobeys Deuteronomy 25:15 and Leviticus 19:35 (just weights and just measures). When money is debased, as it has been in all countries and throughout recorded history, and is now happening all over the world, those who sow much (gross) bring in little (net). Those who eat are not satisfied, and those who earn wages earn them only to put them into a bag full of holes. Jesus' instruction to "be content with your wages" is made difficult when the value of those wages are continuously and invisibly siphoned away, only to be given to others without the wage earner's knowledge or consent.

God made them that way, just as he made you less than perfect. And just as your imperfections should not be abused, neither should you abuse theirs. If indeed imperfections they are, since the last shall be first.

Achem's razor applies here. The most obvious and plain interpretation is probably the more correct.

Well, it has changed my mind, because I loved tattoos then but the Lord is against it, so am I, I had this dream last Night and it seems to like the world is coming to an end, things were destroyed and some people or aliens where after me and God's people, and when they were coming to attack me, I woke up from sleep. In the Dream I saw men of God from my country, don't really know if they are false Prophets or not.

The justification people come up with here is glorious. The language is plain. Just because you like a practice the good book forbids doesn't mean you get to ignore it and still call yourself a good Christian and pray and work hard to stop with it.

Why are people concentrating on that verse without looking at Leviticus 19:19. Many of us do not ask for the reason for which a command was giving but insist on arguing wrongly. Many should condemn themselves for most of our clothing is mixed up with two or more materials. I think we should concentrate with the word in the heart of men and leave God to direct his people his way.
