It is there loss. Answerway has never been the same since they went all nutty with their extreme right wing, religious monitoring that if they did not agree with anything they just banned you and erased your answers or questions. You were not allowed to question anything, it got you banned. It is crazy. I rather be a big mouth and speak my mind and speak up for what is right.
Oh, I get the picture.
I was told that Christian fundamentalists had claimed Answerway for their private pulipit and would not brook contrary opinions. They have even been called bigots. A sorry state of affairs.
God gave us brains to think and mouthys to speak. Why not use them?
Morganite, you are funny. I think you know I was asking Jesushelper what time where he is, whereever that is in Canada. I have my eye on you Morganite...both eyes in fact. Take care you crazy kook!! LOL
On your last post, morganite, you are right..."a sorry state of affairs."
What a shame...that allowing people to be themselves, to have an opinion will get them booted from a site!
I don't always agree with people, and trust me....people don't always agree with me, but I always respect another's right to be who they are and say what they believe. It's a shame that people can't understand that a vast variety of personalities and views is a benefit to all of us...
I'm glad I found this place, glad I'm getting to know some of the people here.
The question for me personally. I would like to know everybodies opinion, thoughts and even biblical response to this question.
Question is, is it a sin to get tattoos. Is it forbidden? Is there anything wrong with getting tattoos and if there is anything wrong with it?
I have thought about getting a couple before, and I thought of it again.
Thank you in advance!
Oh, and if I did get one it would be my boys name and date of birth on one arm. A religious cross on the other.

You need to examine your motives for thinking of getting a tattoo. Is it so you can 'fit in'?
Usually when a person has to ask if something is a sin or not, they already know it is....why else ask???
Getting a tattoo of a Cross won't make you more spiritual, you will become less spiritual.
The Bible teaches against marking or piercing our bodies, as it is associated with idol worship. Some might say that it was the Old Testament and that's not for today. I believe that if one must err; then err on the side of caution.
You have not indicated as to whether you are a Christian...that is, have you been born again?? Have you asked Jesus to forgive you of your sins and asked Him to come into your heart?
I hope this helps you.
I think it's totally okay to get them. I think tattoos should mean something to you personally (and it's obvious the ones you said you thought of getting do.) before my mom got one (she got it when I was 16), when I was about 13 I started talking about wanting one. And she flipped becuase she is ver religous. Then I told her what I wanted, which was 7 stars becuase in revolation, angels are refer to as stars, and 7 is a holy number of complition. I told her I wanted to feel God with me, and he's angels protecting me, fully and complitly. And that is sincerly why I want that tattoo.
she ended up getting one before me.
it's a personaly choice. It's your body and yours alone. but it is God's timple. I think you have every right to decorated it h ow you please, as long as you are poluting it.
Well, I'm a Messianic Jew, and in Jeish religion, it is unthinkable to get a tattoo. However, I dont feel that way. I have a tattoo on my back, and I would never think of removing it. I dont see anything wrong in getting a tattoo, because though it says in the bible to not pierce or mark the body, there are many customs that we do not follow anymore, including the sacrificing of animals.
