基督徒能纹身吗？
基督徒是不可以纹身的。
神有明确的诫命--利未记19：28节“不可为死人用刀划身，也不可在身上刺花纹。我是耶和华。”
另外，这也是偶像崇拜的一种。是极度违背神心意的。刺青原本是一種交鬼、討好邪靈的儀式，今日卻被認為是一種好玩、裝飾性的文化，把魔鬼的產品包裝成為人體藝術，刺青也逐漸走向商業化。
今日，所有研究刺青的學者都承認：刺青的根源都與撒但教、巫術、拜偶像和邪靈有關，這個事實已有非常多的書籍和資料證明。然而，現今這些證明的資料都是來自外邦人寫的書，不是反對刺青的基督徒寫的。
刺青的源起
今日所有研究刺青的學者都承認：刺青的根源都與撒但教、巫術、拜偶像和邪靈有關，這個事實已有非常多的書籍和資料證明。然而，現今這些證明的資料都是來自外邦人寫的書，不是反對刺青的基督徒寫的。以下是來自於他們自己書籍的引言：美國的《滾石雜誌》（Rolling Stone Magazine, 2002/3/28, p.40）說：有位著名刺青師傅Paul Booth，當他為人刺青時，過程「會讓邪靈來引導刺針」
《藝術、性、圖象》（Art, Sex and Symbol, by Ronald Scutt, p.64）一書說：「在斐濟、福爾摩沙（台灣）、紐西蘭、北美印第安人部落中，刺青被視為宗教儀式，是由巫師或男女祭司所執行的。
《藝術、性、圖象》（Art, Sex and Symbol, by Ronald Scutt, p.64）一書說：「在斐濟、福爾摩沙（台灣）、紐西蘭、北美印第安人部落中，刺青被視為宗教儀式，是由巫師或男女祭司所執行的。
韓貝利博士（Dr. Wilfrid Hambly）是研究刺青歷史的權威。他在《刺青的歷史和意義》（The History of Tattooing and it’s Significance, p.233）一書中提到：「在刺青時，人自然會產生恐懼，因為他的皮膚會被刺入，血會流出來。這個過程的目的是讓許多邪靈進入身體中。」
《巫婆與巫術百科全書》（The Encyclopedia of Witches and Witchcraft, p.26）說：「有些刺青師傅會用舌頭去舔刺青的傷口，他們相信流血就是釋放超自然的能力。」
《異教、宗派、宗教字典》（The Dictionary of Cults, Sects, Religions, p.40）說：「流血的儀式與撒但教和異教有關。」
聖經明確禁止刺青「不可為死人用刀劃身，也不可在身上刺任何花紋，我是耶和華。」（利十九28；KJV直譯）這是聖經中反對刺青最明確的經文之一，而神在利未記中清楚地定刺青為罪。這經文已明說「不可在身上刺任何花紋」，即使是聖經的經文、十字架、蝴蝶、動物、某人的名字，無論大紋小紋，都不可以。
馬洛安葛（Merrill F. Unger）是基督教解經的權威之一。在他的聖經字典裡，他提到：「利未記十九章18節的『花紋』是來自希伯來原文的『qa aqa』，意思就是切入、切成開口。也就是說，『花紋』就是指今日的刺青。並且，即使刺青的人沒有拜偶像，也沒有參與巫術，但神仍然禁止刺青，也不允許任何刺青的藉口。」
詹姆士．費曼（James M. Freeman）寫了《聖經禮儀和習俗》（The New Manners & Customs of the Bible）一書。他在書中提到：「用刀劃身和刺青向來都是外邦人和異教徒的行為，而神禁止祂的百姓效法他們的行為。」
聖經註解家Jameison Faussett & Brown 說：「論到利未記十九章18節，神不允許任何刺青，無論是花朵、蝴蝶、星星，包含任何看起來精緻或漂亮的刺青都不允許。刺青是異教徒、外邦人、阿拉伯人、印度教人的風俗，但耶和華禁止祂的百姓效法所有拜偶像的行為。」
沒有任何藉口可以刺青
新約聖經說：「拜偶像、行邪術的必不能承受神的國，他們的分就在燒著硫磺的火湖裡，這是第二次的死。」（加五20-21；啟廿一8）由於「刺青」是參與拜偶像、行邪術的行為，因此「不可刺青」的規定也同時包含在新約「不可拜偶像、行邪術」的道德誡命中。
然而，若一個去教會的人叛逆神、愛世界、喜愛罪孽，他自然就會找藉口來犯罪。有些人說：「規定不能刺青的經文是在舊約，不是在新約，所以新約基督徒也可以刺青。」我們必須知道，這種說法是在找藉口犯罪。有許多舊約的道德律法並沒有在新約重覆提到，但是舊約的道德律法都延伸到新約，並且規定得更嚴格（太五17-18；太五28；約壹三15）。
例如：「不可與獸淫合」只有在舊約的利未記律法中提到（利十八23；利二十15-16），沒有在新約提到。那麼，難道聖潔的神（彼前一15-16）在新約時代就允許人「與獸淫合」嗎？當然不可能！另外，「不可賣女兒做娼妓」、「不可把兒女當人祭獻給假神」（利十九29；利十八21），這些經文只有在舊約提到，難道新約的基督徒就可以賣女兒做娼妓、把兒女當人祭獻給假神嗎？這是何等荒謬！雖然有些關於道德律法的經文只有在舊約提到，但是新約的道德律法仍然包含這些規定，甚至有些規定得更嚴格！因此，「某個道德規定只有出現在舊約」不是犯罪的藉口。
教會歷史上最受尊敬的聖經註解家之一馬太．亨利（Matthew Henry）說：「所有利未記所記載的道德律法，這些不僅是針對以色列人，也是針對新約的基督徒。」別忘記，耶穌親口說：「莫想我來要廢掉（道德）律法和先知。我來不是要廢掉，乃是要成全，使完整。我實在告訴你們，就是到天地都廢去了，律法的一點一畫也不能廢去，都要成全。」（太五17-18；Vine’s聖經原文字典）
以上刺青源起的資料已證明：刺青是參與拜偶像、行邪術的行為，並違背了神「不可在身上刺任何花紋」的命令。聖經說：「違背律法就是罪，凡不義的都是罪」(約壹三4；約壹五17)。刺青既違背神的律法，並且它也不是義的事情。刺青(紋身)的行為無論在舊約或新約都是罪。聖經說：「拜偶像、行邪術的必不能承受神的國，他們的分就在燒著硫磺的火湖裡，這是第二次的死。」（加五20-21；啟廿一8）若你已有刺青，就必須認罪悔改。

following weeks..
DAY 1:
They watched their first movie together & were both touched in the romantic film.
DAY 4:
They went to the beach & had a picnic... Daniel & Jasmine had their quality time together.
DAY 12:
Daniel invited Jasmine to a circus and they went to a Horror House.. Jasmine was scared
and she tried to touch Daniel's hand but by accident she touched someone else's and they both laughed..
DAY 14:
They saw a fortune teller down the road and asked for their future. The

Daniel: Wait for me...
20 minutes later... a stranger approached Jasmine.

11:57pm
The doctor came out from the emergency room & handed out an apple juice & a letter to Jasmine.

Jasmine read the letter which says:
Jasmine, this past few days, I realized you are really a cute girl & I am falling for you.. your cherished smile, your everything when we played this game.. & before this game ends, I would like you to be my girlfriend for the rest of my
life. I love you, Jasmine...
Jasmine crumples the paper & shouted..
'Daniel! I don't want you to die...I love you... Remember that night we saw a meteor? I mumbled something.. I wished that we would be together forever & never end this game. Please don't leave me, Daniel... I love you, you cannot do this to me
Then the clock strikes 12
Daniel's heart stop pumping
THEN IT WAS THE 30th DAY...
