| Most of these are pretty fine although oddly specific, they usually have specific reasoning. |

@ cr4ft
Yes I know. This was meant to be directed towards people who think LGBT is wrong because of the bible |

| I don't think there is anything wrong with tattoos unless you just full out cover yourself in them or they are vulgar. Back in Arabia, when Islam was on the rise, they forced Christians to get a tattoo of a Coptic cross to help distinguish who was a Muslim and who was a Christian. It's still a tradition in the Coptic church to get these tattoos at around the ages of 6-8. |

| How does this show that the bible is not against LGBT? You only stated one book from it. Plus, this is the Old Law. Christians are not burdened with the need to follow the law because Jesus died on the Cross. We only do the things repeated in the New Testament. |

The Bible is against the practice of "it". If you simply are "it", but do not praise "it", support "it", propagandize "it", commit acts of "it", etc. then you should be fine. |

Ah, well. It does ban the practice of "it". However, it bans the complete being of "it". Condemning it, and stating what it is in the eyes of God.
Leviticus 18:22 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Romans 1:26-28 1 Corinthians 7:2 Mark 10:6-9 |

Ah, but despite what all those hardcore pro-"it" companies say, it is not permanent, and not a born trait. If you don't do "it", you will eventually no longer be "it". Essentially, not practicing "it" will return you to normal. |

| That's how most things work. But, of course, they feel this way so it must be exactly how it is and no other explanation, right? Lol. It just doesn't make sense.. |

Despite what sinii claims about the usage of the words placebo and nocebo, I think it is an affect akin to the placebo/nocebo affect. In this more modern time, most of the people don't realize the truth of the matter, so they believe "it" is permanent, and therefore those who think they are plagued with "it" mentally condition themselves into being that way. Much of the increase in "it" is likely due to the massive amount of propaganda. |

Many of these I follow myself, but most I don't as I mainly follow the New Testament. Thinks like "No worshiping false gods" I will obey as that is important. However, I try and follow the Ten Commandments, except the one that says "Keep the Sabbath day holy." |

I completely agree with you.
And spy, we are free from the law, for Christ completed it. However it is still a model of perfection. |

Well, I found this:
“You also died to the law through the body of Christ.... By dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code” (Rom. 7:4, 6).
