shalom!!
i would have to tell you ....that as a 20yr. old jewish guy...living
inner city........{and born in israel by the way}.......i believe that you
have your head twisted too many years away from the present...things are a
changing........you must first question how much these words hold water today.......
a tattoo is not so wrong ...it is just reflecting the content of
that one man's soul...You are living in an ancient mind state..... i think
that you should try asserting judaism into the modern world.....and modern
ways.....just as you are playing with this computer.. modern ways....... but
your body is your temple so its your decision...
.. but.. thats just
my opinion,
a free
lil' bird
Shalom!!!
I must tell you that I'm quite modern, and my head is straight
(not twisted!);>)
For an outsider a Torah way of life may seem "ancient." But we should
remember that just because something is ancient does not mean
that it is bad or irrelevant. Some things even get better with time
like fine wine! Tattoos are not a question of right or wrong, but
rather of "forbidden" or "permitted." I think that if you had a taste of real
Torah learning, you would see that there is nothing
more relevant to our world today than Torah. "But that's just my opinion."

i dont believe the almighty should permitt or forbid.......the lord,if he is
as he claims, ...would just simply love.
If the L-rd is as He claims, then He told us that tattoos
are forbidden. It's written black on white in His Torah.
The real question is, do we believe that the Torah was
given to us by G-d? If we do, we should know that G-d indeed
does love us, and one expression of that love is the fact that
he gave us His Torah. If we received this great gift from G-d we
should take the time to see what is written in it and to know what
G-d really wants from us.
