My reading comprehension? Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were a Hebrew scholar or historian on Middle Eastern paganism. Also excuse me if I failed to notice your expertease in Alexandrian Greek. It must be pretty humorous to be in church with a ecclesiastical genius like you. Who waves his NIV above his head anytime the preacher is preaching. But, AGAIN,
Leviticus 19:28 isn't dealing with ASIAN tattooing. It is dealing with the marring marks made by another form of tattooing unknown to people like you.
SCARIFICATION!!!!! I may or may not know more about the history of tattooing than anyone on this forum. But I DO know more than YOU! I had Leviticus thrown at me from the first time I got my first tattoo at the age of 13. So forgive me Tithedisaster if I point out your utter lack reading comprehension. Good God from Zion! The prohibition was against religious practices of worship and mourning. the "marks" were left by the CUTS which were made by KNIVES. Not by bones sharpened to needles to push pigments under the skin.

Is that what the Hebrew word "nawthan" means? "print?" Really? It's definition means to GIVE. Therefore with some reading COMPREHENSION you would understand that in context of the rest of the sentence. Would mean the CUTS made with KNIVES leave MARKS which are created by SCARS. Hey stick to starving out preachers, I can see that on anything but tithing subject you are feeble.

Why because your interpretation is solely based on the English language and what you personally know about those tattooed around you? Hence you make your decisions for all of us, and anyone else in your path determined on those factors?

NO, it is about cutting and giving. If you read it in Hebrew, in Greek it just means instantaneous markings which obviously are created by SLASHING yourself with a knife.

Arrogance can be tolerated at times when the person is right. Arrogance combined with ignorance gets you
Proverbs 18:6.
You are wrong again. My tattoos were created with needles in an electric gun. Also some made with a guitar string in a BIC pen body, powered by a Sony Walkman. The needles inject, literally PUSH the pigments under the skin.
NOT cutting and slashing one self in religious worship, or mourning.
To say that Asian tattooing or Indigenous South Pacific tattooing is the same as what is found in
Leviticus 19:28, 1 Kings 18:28,
Jeremiah 16:6,
Jeremiah 41:5,
Jeremiah 47:5,
Jeremiah 48:37. Saying that
Leviticus 28:19 has anything to do with tattooing is like saying
Jeremiah 7:29 has something to do with going to the barber.

Here we go, you aren't into this for any sort of truth to be found. You just want to win a fight. The above was already answered by YOU. But that was when you didn't think you were losing an argument. I also answered the above, but maybe you were so tacked off to be challenged that your "reading comprehension was skewed that you didn't notice my answer. Buddy boy, your nick says it all.
