Question:

My wife and I both have tattoos, and I must admit I am sick and tired of them.  I am a christian and I knew better when we got tattooed.  They are not offensive tattooes but I am afraid it wll hurt my witness.  This has grieved me ever since we got them.   It is a shame that it costs so much to have them removed.  Most people who get them will regret being tattooed according to statistics Christian and nonchristian. Any information you may have on the future of tattoo removal would be greatly appreciated.

Answer:

Thank you for your letter. I appreciate your honesty and openness about tattoos. I wish that more churches would be open and unafraid to tell the truth about them, so Christians could be spared the later regret and expense involved. As to the cost involved with removal, that probably varies from doctor to doctor, and what makes it hard is the size of the tattoo and the colors used in it. At our dermatologist, he has a brochure about tattoo removal in his office. The sad thing is that not all colors can be removed by laser treatments. A doctor would have to look at what you have to give you an accurate price for removal, or even if he could remove them at all.Continue reading

Question:

Does the New Testament have any scriptures about tattoos?

Answer:

Yes, the New Testament does have a reference to tattoos — those required by the antichrist during the Tribulation Period. Revelation 13:16-18 says, “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, TO RECEIVE A MARK IN THEIR RIGHT HAND, OR IN THEIR FOREHEADS: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the MARK, or the NAME of the beast, or the NUMBER of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”Continue reading

Question:

What does the New Testament say about men piercing their ears?

Answer:

In the Old Testament, when a man had a hole pierced through his ear, it was because he was making himself a life-long slave to a master. Exodus 21:5,6 says, “And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free: Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him for ever.”Continue reading

Question:

I have a question in relation to your current sign message at your church. I was wondering how you justify your interpretation of that passage within its context. And secondly I really just wonder how you feel this is going to reach the community in a positive way. I am not trying to be offensive, I just am curious about your motivation in doing this.
