I’m covered in ink! I got them from 18-24 years old. I was saved when I was 27 and will never get another one! I regret them deeply but I know I’m forgiven ❤

I got my tattoos long before I knew who God was. He still loves me and one day he will remove them for me.

[MauLau]

“We weren’t called to wear the cross. We were called to bear the cross” amen! 🙏🏾

Before I became a Christian I was going to tattoo my husbands name on me when he passed. Holy Spirit spoke to me on the day I was scheduled to go. I'd already gotten a tattoo in my youth and felt ashamed of myself, but felt since it was in a place no one could see it I was ok. But since I wasn't a Christian it never occurred to me God could see it and my shame should be with HIM, not others. I didn't get my husbands name nor any other tattoos and shorty after Holy Spirit stopped me, I became a Christian. Baptized two years ago today.

Thank you for covering this subject from a biblical perspective! I have a tattoo that I got when I was in my 20’s and did not know the Bible has verses against it. I have repented of it long ago and have told others about how wrong it is. Praise God that He is merciful to those who sincerely repent. 🙏

Out of ignorance I got permanent makeup and was told it fades over time. When I got to know the truth, I instantly regretted it. I went for lazer treatment to get it removed and it was painful and expensive. There is always a price to pay in the end, most will pay a spiritual price.

I was taking about this to our Sabbath School last Night. It's a blessing to now see a video about it. We are to imitate Jesus, not the customs of the world. Have Jesus written on our hearts, not our forearms.

Love these 12 minute lessons filled with scripture and valuable info. I get more from these then many hour long presentations from other ministers. Maranatha! :)

[LarrySeppanen]

Pastor Doug, could you do a short presentation like this on gambling, sports betting, etc.
Thank you! Happy Sabbath!

This is such a short and straight forward message to know what is wrong and right; however, we live in a world where human behavior is selfish, and it gets worse with each passing day. To fulfill the desires of the flesh and find excuse to live in sin is easier than to die to self-daily in order to follow Jesus. Let us not forget, there is victory in Christ Jesus...as Paul stated, "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me." Blessings

Never understood tattoos even from non-religious perspective: people don't mind putting graffiti on their bodies while keeping their cars super clean with not even a single bumper sticker. In fact, if you were to ask them, let me paint the same tattoo you have on your body on your car, they will refuse. They value and keep their cars in pristine, original condition than they do their bodies.

Happy Sabbath Pastor Dough Batchelor. Thanks for this wonderful sermon.

[Muchlove]

Amen, praise God for providing this message through His servant. God bless you Ps Doug and God bless all listening

[jodifaul]

Thank you so much for making this very clear. I have so many people that I need to share this with.

[beeinthebodytorahclass]

Just one more comment...it is so awesome to hear a teacher who is not afraid to speak out against something wrong that has become so popular. I hear other teachers doing the opposite and leading the sheep astray! There is only ONE way to know God's will and that is to study His "whole" word.

[FlameLegend]

Happy Sabbath Pastor Doug great topic.😁👍.

[estariomartis]

Thank you pastor Doug. May God richly bless you, family and your ministry. 🙏🏾

Happy sabbath pastor I agree with you I regret all my tattoos.

Leviticus 19:19-28 is dealing with pagan religious practices. The previous verse commands not to “round off the hair on your temples nor mar the edges of your beard.” The context of all of this is for God’s people not to practice the religious rites of the pagan nations.

No one in your church ever comes to your house to make sure that when you plant a fruit tree that you don’t eat the fruit for the first three years, give the fruit as a praise offering in the fourth year, and then tells you that you may eat the fruit in fifth year (Lev 19:23-25) *Notice the speaker skips these verses when he goes over things that are still rules that are still binding and says “It’s in the same chapter, friends!”

And no one checks your hairline and your beard when you enter the church on Sabbath and asks you if you are trimming it in honor of the dead. And no one worries if you sow two different kinds of seed in your vegetable garden (verse 19) But if they see a tattoo of a flower on your ankle you’ll never hear the end of how much danger your salvation is in.

Tattoos have always been given in different cultures, in different eras of time, for different purposes. Some cultures gave tattoos as marks of social class, marital status, distinguishing members of one tribe from another, to mark an achievement, or even as a punitive measure as a mark of shame. In other words, tattoos have different meanings and purposes from culture to culture. In Leviticus 19, the tattoos being mentioned are meant as tattoos associated with worship of pagan gods. To simply write it off as a blanket statement against all tattooing, for any reason, in any culture, and in any era of history, is a bit of an overreach at best and legalism at worst. I feel really bad for other commenters in this video who seem to still be feeling some sort of shame or worry over the fact that they got tattoos years ago. If you feel it was a mistake, I would not tell you that you were wrong, but just remember the grace and mercy of God and you have nothing to fear.
