Re: Tattoos, sin against God or church cuture?

I don't think tattoos are completely wrong. That said, it's certainly not a path I want to take.

Does the NT mention incest? The only possible place is 1 Corinthians 5 which a better argument could be made for adultery there than incest. So is incest now acceptable in Gods eyes in the NT?

Sleeeping with your Mama (your father's wife) is always wrong.

Since any sexual relations in the NT outside of matrimony is considered sin, I would have to go with NO.

Brother Blume, that was funny!

Brother Blume, I just had to bump this forward again. It is the simple things that the Greek language of the Bible presents to those who care to look.
