I love Jesus, but...?

The Old Testament law commanded the Israelites, “Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD” (Leviticus 19:28). So, even though believers today are not under the Old Testament law (Romans 10:4; Galatians 3:23-25; Ephesians 2:15), the fact that there was a command against tattoos should cause us to question. The New Testament does not say anything about whether a believer should or should not get a tattoo.\n\n \n\nIn relation to tattoos and body piercings, a good test is to determine whether we can honestly, in good conscience, ask God to bless and use the particular activity for His own good purposes. "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God" (1 Corinthians 10:31). The Bible does not command against tattoos or body piercings, but it also does not give us any reason to believe God would have us get tattoos or body piercings.\n\n \n\nAnother issue to consider is modesty. The Bible instructs us to dress modestly (1 Timothy 2:9). One aspect of dressing modestly is making sure everything that should be covered by clothing is adequately covered. However, the essential meaning of modesty is not drawing attention to yourself. People who dress modestly dress in such a way that they do not draw attention to themselves. Tattoos and body piercings most definitely draw attention. In this sense, tattoos and body piercings are not modest.\n\n \n\nAn important Scriptural principle on issues that the Bible does not specifically address is that if there is room for doubt as to whether it pleases God, then it is best to not engage in that activity. "For whatsoever is not of faith is sin" (Romans 14:23). We need to remember that our bodies, as well as our souls, have been redeemed and belong to God. Although 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 does not directly apply to tattoos or body piercings, it does give us a principle, "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." This great truth should have a real bearing on what we do and where we go with our bodies. If our bodies belong to God, we should make sure we have His clear "permission" before we "mark it up" with tattoos or body piercings.

Have you ever loved someone the way god loves you????? \n\nAt times. but not regular and not often enough. this is what all Christians are working towards Agape Love.

Jesus always preached love. He never preached that anyone was exempt from his love, he especially didn't preach that one specific group was exempt from his love.\n\nI wish all you Christians would listen a little more to Jesus and a lot less to "the Church" and the parts of the Bible that fit in with your own opinions!\n\nJesus made a lot of sense. I'm an atheist, but I have a lot of respect for Jesus and everything he taught and stood for.

Wow.  You've got some personal conviction going on.  Why can't he tell that you are Christian??  A necklace isn't going to do it- a lot of hypocrats wear those things, too, not just people who love Jesus.  Deep down, this guy probably desires a woman who is beautiful because God made her, a woman who loves Jesus more than anything (and reflects that by showing love, patience, kindness, service, etc), and someone who is clean fun to be around.  You may perfectly fit that bill already.  There shouldn't be any questions as to which side of the faith fence you ride.  If you have some habits (we ALL do) that you aren't proud of, or you know would make Jesus sad, then make that a priority to change.  If this guy is the right one for you, then it is going to work.  If not, that just means that God has some other things that He needs you to do before getting you together with Mr. Forever.  You'll do fine.

i think it really bothers Jesus,  to be constantly reminded   of one of the most horrible moments in his life.every year we celebrate his death, like a bunch of sick-o ghouls,, and worship his suffering--makes me sick to my stomach.\n\nhe not on the cross any more , and we  as a culture should stop torturing him.\n\nwe should love him as a fellow human being.\n\nand see him happy, healthy, and alive, living his own life--out there some were.

There are plenty of criticisms of Jesus (or the authors of the New Testament) on the internet. Contact me and I will give you a few. No room to list them all here.

God has offered forgiveness to everyone.  The decision is now ours as to whether or not we accept this forgiveness.  If we don't accept it, is He supposed to force it on us?  No, He will simply honor our decision to turn that forgiveness down.\nYou brought up a point in your question.  You were making a statement that included "Jesus is the only person worth loving."  He is, of course, but the fact that God loves us even when we don't deserve it is a testament to that love.  Once again, however He won't force it on us.  He waits for us to accept this love and uses Christians to spread that love.

Say "Jesus loves you " every time he cusses. See what happens then.

Do you notice that Jesus first tells the man that all he need do is keep the commandments?  But the man carries on, feeling that it won't be enough for some reason (even though Jesus just said it would)?  He feels he's still lacking.  Jesus tells him what he must do 'to be perfect'.  Not what he must do to gain eternal life.  I don't know about you, but, I have too many other people in my life to take care of to be 'perfect'.  Even as much as I admire Jesus.

Make Jesus the Lord or your life. His love is always gentle and pure. Jesus only has our best interests at heart. He loves with an unconditional love.\n\nhttp://www.chick.com/information/general/salvation.asp

Yes, Jesus is Lord...\n\nI know God is so disappointed with all of us but yet His love endure forever.\n\nI don't know why people reject Jesus maybe because of doubt or lack of understanding.\nMaybe they just don't want to change their ways..\n\nYou have to open up your heart to Him not your mind.

What kind of crazy stuff are u talking about? Are u Human? I pray that u are. Jesus volunteered and sacrificed his life 4 our sins so that we can have a better life here and hereafter! You act like u don't even believe in God. Is this a joke or strife to sir up? You are to blame for Ur own ignorance. Read the word of God for ur self before u insult others. People here don't take insults lightly. They will report u!
