So I guess its okay to pimp out our daughters? If we throw out Lev 19:28 because the verse that PRECEEDS it, then lets also ignore the verse which FOLLOWS it, obviously neither matter. Why their even in the Old Testament no one knows, probably because God didn't have to buy Lexmark ink every time he turned around and could waste words.  |
Jason, you're abandoning every hermeneutical principle that's made you so good at understanding scripture at such a young age.
No one is saying here that since we don't necessarily obey a verse in Leviticus that we automatically don't obey any of them! Your reasoning here is without foundation. In fact, it's these very interpretational principles that YOU use to discredit the tithing institution of the Old Testament...which I agree with.
Here we have an Old Testament guideline that is stuck in the middle of numerous antiquated rules. Many of them are NOT reinforced in any way in the New Testament such as verse 27 which prohibits trimming he beard. OBVIOUSLY, there is New Testament principle that backs up verse 29, and honestly Jason, I'm wasting time covering it in this post.....because you know better. The same hermeneutical principles that have helped you understand that tithing is no longer an absolute giving guideline, are the same principles that no longer require us to follow Old Testament tattoooing rules.
Come on, Jason...you're backed into a corner here. It's ok to say, "Uncle" and tell me you support my desire to get a tattoo!
