| Body – Art Part 2 |
| “Ye are the children of the Lord your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead … thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations” (Deuteronomy 14:1; 18:9). Obviously God cares what people do with their bodies. |
| “For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry” (1 Samuel 15:23). People commonly say, “It doesn’t matter,” or “It doesn’t mean anything.” But everything in the universe matters — everything has significance and meaning. Prominent practitioners of piercing and tattooing have commonly and casually admitted that they recognize such things as being associated with rebellion. |
| “They cried aloud, and cut themselves” (1 Kings 18:28). This behavior is an expression of desperation for attention. If we want attention there are better ways, as believers, to get it. |
| “All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth the spirits” (Proverbs 16:2). Ask yourself, Why do it? Are my motives godly? Do I really want to please God? |
