It's been so important to make that mark at work, at church, with a group of people you want to impress. Well, are the people close to you losing out to the things that you're involved in? Put your prints in cement, where they'll last, not in sand where they can't last. "Tattoo" in the Bible: Leviticus 19:28 http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Leviticus%2019:28&version=NIV 2009-10-06T11:39:43-05:00 It was important for God's people in the Old Testament to separate themselves physically and spiritually from the practices of their evil, idol-worshiping neighbors. Christians debate today whether this prohibition on tattoos applies to the modern church, but the ancient Israelites at least were forbidden to have them.
