Christianity and tattoos.
Can someone explain this to me?
I know you have to treat your body as if it a temple, that your body really isn't yours, and that the bible states that you shouldn't tattoo yourself. I am confused because I know Christians that have tattoos and some of my Christian friends even have verses tattooed on them. I just want know the correct view on this and what you would say to me if I wanted a tattoo. I want to get Isiah 43:2 tattooed because hearing that verse transformed my whole life, basically.

I apologize for my ignorance.

Don’t feel ignorant! This is a question that a lot of Christians have. I still struggle with it myself. Many people believe that tattoos were banned in the Old Testament because they were a symbol of witchcraft and pagan worship. In those times, God wanted to set His people apart as a pure, holy nation. Having such a mark on your body would not reflect that. A lot of Christians believe that this rule doesn’t apply to us anymore, just like the laws about eating certain foods or wearing two types of fabric on your body.

My personal belief is that it’s OK for us to get tattoos as long as we are doing it for the right reason. A scripture-based tattoo is awesome because it’s a reminder and a display of your faith. It’s also a great way to show the love of Christ to others. :)

I think it’s wonderful that you want to do this! I would definitely pray about it first, but I think that it’s a great idea.

God bless!!

On God and prayer

People nowadays expect prayer to do things that it doesn’t need to do. Instead of praying for someone on their deathbed to be healed we should be praying that they would be saved and walk with their lord and saviour; instead of praying for better marks on a test we need to be praying for greater concentration; instead of praying for greater understanding we should pray that the opportunities to grow in understanding become more apparent to us. God changes people who change the world, he doesn’t work as much through miracles and the physical anymore. Why would you when there are people who want to grow in their relationship with you?

I really like the example of prayer in Evan Almighty. Evan’s wife prays that the family would come close together or something similar and later ‘God’ explains that he won’t just make that happen but he will present us with more opportunities for us to make it happen. That way we actually grow in faith instead of being simply ‘upgraded’ for want of a better term.

Start thinking about what you’re ask God for. Make it things that involve you growing in faith, pray for chances to grow in your faith, pray for greater awareness of others and opportunities to show them God’s love.

God

Sat, 07 May 2011 09:18:13 -0400

To many people nowadays fail to grasp the concept of what a God; or God actually is. Our society and even the church has helped to reduce a God to anything that has power over you, we’ve reduced it to a common word that people use when they’ve done something they regret or because they’re surprised or because they don’t know what else to say. There was a day when no-one could use God’s name but the temple priests. He was Yahweh, the great I Am or lord God almighty. Now the same words we use to pray and praise are used to cuss and complain.

Because of the popularity of the idea that God is our friend we’ve lost focus on the fact that this ‘friend’ was is and forever will be the creator and up-keeper of the universe in which we live. That he knows all the troubles that has, are and ever will befall us and that he paid the ultimate price for them by dying on the cross for us. We forget that he is the same God that smote the towns of Sodom and Gomorrah and that he is the same God who threw the devil from heaven. Our god is frightening, his name scatters demons! Where has our original reverential fear gone?

Today people relegate God to something that isn’t a God. They forget what being a God means. Which is that there IS NO BOUNDS. He can do everything you could imagine in less time it takes for you to imagine it. He created one of the only things that we are truly bound by: time. He exists, don’t bind him into tenses. He doesn’t have a plan, this universe is the plan. There is nothing that you could do that isn’t already predicted, calculated and implemented.

I know that the idea of everything being unchangeable can be hard to cope with. But take comfort in the fact that there is nothing your heavenly father can’t do and that he will never do anything to hurt you. That isn’t to say that there is no way you will get hurt. The world is not one sided; there are people and things that work against the tranquility of our lives. They throw the things that hurt into your way. I believe God doesn’t remove them because he knows that all we have to do is trust him. For he can do anything and will come to our help if we call.

I do not claim to understand god, or know what he intends. After this post that would seem hypocritical. All I am doing here is sharing my thoughts/beliefs/opinions.

We don't look up enough.

Thu, 05 May 2011 18:30:21 -0400

I went outside a few minutes ago and I decided to lay down on my driveway. The sun was shining and it just felt like a good opportunity to relax. As I stared at the sky, I was struck by its magnificence… huge, puffy, bright-white clouds drifting across a bright blue backdrop. I thought to myself, Why don’t I do this more often? This is such a beautiful view! The sky is always there and to some degree, we are aware of it. But we rarely take the time to just look up and admire it. It’s the same with God… we know that He’s up there, but we never think to turn our eyes to Him and just marvel at His glory. :)

Be Conditioned

Wed, 04 May 2011 23:37:00 -0400

“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.”

I’m being conditioned. I’ve fought God a few times in my 6 year walk, we all have, we do, and will. I mean Jonah ran. In the wrong direction. God is pouring down blessing in 2011, even if you don’t feel it, you are blessed, you are being blessed at this very moment.

Conditioning, let him work in you, let him invade your heart. He so loves you, I know it’s scary but you get comfort, and strength while he does this. I can’t explain to mush because the Holy Spirit is priceless you can not put it into words

Be conditioned. Don’t run, let him love on you in ways you never thought to be possible. Did you know God is a hopeless romantic? I didn’t, I was running from his love.

Be conditioned. Let him turn you into a warrior, let him introduce you to the real you. It’s going to hurt, yes it will. While he does this in you life, You’ll fall so in love with this man.

Be conditioned. Let it go. It’s a process, it take work, it takes tears, anger.I found myself yelling at God, and getting comfort. hm I can’t express to you how i feel right now. I feel so blessed, I feel special. I feel loved.

I am not worthless… He will use me. Us, for the victory.

I’m Grace. I’m almost 17 and I’ve gone to church most of those years. I was saved as a child, but I don’t think I realized what that meant until I was in middle school. Now I’m trying my very best to further my relationship with Christ, who is all that matters. I mess up every day, but He always forgives me. I want so badly to be able to reach out to people and show them God’s love. I want to give up myself and become consumed with God. I am not ashamed of His presence in my life.
