LET CLEAR SOME RELIGIOUS DOUBTS ABOUT BODY ART ones again The context of Leviticus 19:28. Before that, LEVITICUS 19:27 NEEDS TO BE CONSIDERED PROFOUNDLY It seems every anti-tattoo argument is based primarily on one thing...a single verse from Leviticus in the Bible: You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead or print any marks upon you: I am the LORD. Does this verse really condemn all tattoos? WHAT ABOUT TRIBAL MARKS. Why do people usually concentrate on a single verse rather than the whole chapter or even the whole book. Read properly Leviticus 19:26-31 deals with pagan practices and Gods prohibitions against adopting those practices. In verse 28, God is warning the Jewish people about a pagan practice at funerals, where pagans would mutilate/mark themselves to appease their false gods. The pagans hoped that by cutting themselves and marking images/symbols of idols on their bodies, that they would obtain favor in the afterlife from their false gods, both for themselves and for those who just died. MOTOUCH!
