Not true...it is still in effect per Acts 15. As I said, the 4 items restricted included sexual immorality, so the Lev 18:6 passage still applies. You are not to approach a close relative sexually. That IS, and everyone knows it, one form of sexual immorality.

So, read Acts 15 to see those things restricted still for gentile Christians.

They are:

1. Meat offered to idols (participating in idolatrous worship)

2. Consuming blood (a subset of barbarity and ritual fierceness)

3. Meat strangled (probably a form of things found dead)

4. Sexual immorality (all forms and varieties)

So, tattoos do not restrict a person from being saved and more than does eating bacon for breakfast.

However, that does NOT make getting a tattoo beneficial thing. Personally, I don’t think it is beneficial.

What do you think that Jesus or Billy Graham would say to that?

So, let us be clear. Tattoos are now OK with God per your interpretation. Incest, so far, is not. Both of those Laws are from Leviticus.

Hello xzins. I really do like you, and I respect you. But I am still trying to get my arms around what you said.

A child rapist who comes to Christ has no restrictions on being saved by the Cross. Jesus fulfilled it all. Are you saying that there are qualifications based on behavior that will accept or reject salvation? I am not talking repentance - which is a different matter. Thanks.
