Re: Tattoos

Johnny, it is always the HG's temple. What he is saying is that you can not twist the scripture to try and mean what you want it to. Like the verse that says the devil is the "prince and the power of the air" as an arguement against TV. Doesn't hold water when you argue with a scripture that is not addressing tattoos or anything exterior.

And as you use language like "Graffiti", you issue condemnation, or at least, annoyance, at those who feel the liberty to do so. Why couldn't you just keep it at, "It's something I choose not to do because of personal taste"?

I use the term, "Tattoo." I'm not offended, just having a discussion.

Agreed you do have your own opinion and they or it is valid. All I was saying is that saying the term graffiti it gives the suggestion that it is negative or illegal.
