Baron, clearly we are in pretty different places as it relates to the spectrium of "conservitive/liberal" Oneness Apostolic. but I get what you are saying here.
My dad called yesterday and asked me where the scripture was that said not to tattoo.
I gave him the passage, but also told him he needed to be careful if he was going to stand on that particular scripture all by itself to tell someone it was wrong to get a tattoo.
I then read the verse directly above it. that passage says not to trim your beard!
EVERYTHING we take from the OT had best have a firm foundation in the NT, otherwise we will be responsible for the ENTIRE law. (Paul said that not me).
