Tattooed Jesus causes controversity...Until the message

http://a.abcnews.com/images/US/abc_k...9_16x9_608.jpg

Is this Balsphamy?

Jesus Tattoo | Marked by our past. Transformed by love.Jesus Tattoo


Quote:
The effort, launched by an unnamed “small group of people humbled by the love of Jesus,” was recently unveiled along a highway in West Lubbock, Texas. The billboard simply shows a man depicting Jesus, whose chest and arms are covered with tattoos bearing words such as “outcast,” “addicted,” and “faithless.”

The Bible warns us against tattoos in Leviticus 19:28 (Amplified) which says, “Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print or tattoo any marks upon you: I am the Lord.”

Something about a tattooed Jesus just seems wrong.

Makes him look like a gangbanging illegal alien. Which I think is the point.

Meh, sort of. One thing is for sure Jesus was nailed through the wrists not the hands.

Apparently he can look like whoever you want him to look like, since this scholar claims he was an invention of the Romans to control the Jews. I would dearly love to be at this presentation, just for the Q&A that will follow. I'm guessing it's going to be quite lively.

I wonder why the bible thumpers haven't called for a constitutional amendment banning marriages for all people with tattoos?

It's just a ploy to get people with lots of tattoos into church; mo' money, mo' money, mo' money!!! It's about money and nothing else . Ignorance is the root of all evil and fear is its agent. (Yep, that's the way you correctly spell the possessive form of "its" https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/621/01/.)

You learn something new every day. Carry on .

"Plus they look douchey. None of My sons shall have tattoos if I have anything to say about it."
