Ironic. I was thinking of apparel though. Like jewelry- but I already have a cross necklace.

Well then you don't want to get a tattoo because of your concerns for employment and respectability. That has nothing to do with Christian values. Do you think Christians are the only people who are respectable and employable?

No, you are not a Christian, nor were you raised one. It sounds like you did nothing more than say you were one. Christians read the Bible. Leviticus 19:28
> Now. Specific denominations have rules against it. But the Christian Religion itself, has nothing against tattoos.
If they do not follow the Bible, they are not a Christian denomination.

I said those are probably why it's prohibited, but it's the bible that prohibits it.

Your body is a temple. Getting a religious tattoo would be perfect and show Jesus your love.
I recommend getting a tattoo of Jesus around a bunch of children, and he is spraying urine from his big black cock into their open nmouths. They are crying because they don't like it, but Jesus told them they had to do it or suffer eternally.

I'm glad there are real Christians on MC! Do you too ostracize your women while they are menstruating or are you a heathen piece of shit who will spend eternity experiencing god's wrath?
Edit: I'm going to take a wild guess and say the latter, enjoy your fire and brimstone you irreverent faggot.

> troll implying Christians follow everything in Leviticus
So I'm assuming that as a Christian you don't wear any clothing that blends materials. So anything that uses cotton and polyester, or underwear with spandex, or any other sort of material combination is out of the question for you? (Leviticus 19:19). And while we're at it, anyone in your community who has had their testicles removed because of testicular cancer is not allowed to go to church or even pray. (Deuteronomy 23:1) Also, I assume you don't eat or touch pork or anything else that comes from a pig. (Leviticus 11:8) I presume you don't eat any shellfish either. (Leviticus 11:10) Also, I presume Christian women are not allowed to go to church if they have given birth or are on their period. (Leviticus 12:2-5) Also, she had to take lamb, a pigeon, and a turtledove to the priest to sacrifice to become clean. (Leviticus 12:6) Also, anyone who curses their father or mother should be put to death. (Leviticus 20:9) Also, homosexuals should be put to death. (Leviticus 20:13) I could go on all day.

I stay away from chicks who are on their period. Why the fuck would you want to be around a women then anyway? They are complete bitches. Christian or not this should be an easy one.

Jesus died on the cross so I can wear cycling shorts with a nice chamois so I don't get saddle sores.
Most Levitican law went out with the Judaism.

Right, that's my point, but if you're going strictly by what the Bible says, and according to OP you have to to be considered a true Christian, it doesn't not explicitly say anywhere that the old laws don't matter, nor does it explicitly say anywhere which laws are obsolete and which ones still need to be followed. If the Christian dogma of your denomination has rules for which ones should still be followed and which ones no longer apply, that's fine, and even if you just pick and choose which ones are no longer relevant and which ones still apply according to your own personal conviction and based on what's said in the New Testament, that's fine too as long as it's sincere conviction and not just laziness. But what you can't do is claim the dogma of each denomination and personal conviction don't matter, and that you have to follow every word in the Bible to be considered a true Christian, because there isn't a single Christian on this planet who even tries to follow every single rule in the Old Testament. Even Jews have changed the rules over the years.

I haven't read it in over a decade, but I'm pretty sure Paul changed all the rules.
That's why Christians don't need to be circumsized or follow the laws of the old testament.
Gentiles wouldn't have been allowed into temples with Jesus (unless they were circumsized I guess).

Paul did away with all the old testament rules. Before Paul, Christianity was a Jewish cult. If it wasn't for Paul, Christianity would be like Kabbalah is today.
Though, jesus wasn't officially a god until a few hundred years. LOL

And you still haven't addressed anything OP !OPhereejJA or I said to you. You've been revealed as a troll. If you really were so Christian that you followed everything in the Old Testament, you wouldn't be on MC calling women bitches, unless you're Westboro Baptist Church member. Either way you're batshit insane. Most Christians would say you're a bad Christian for even being here and wouldn't give a fuck if you got a tattoo.
