I am astonished at how so many can't see the difference between seeing a principle in the Old Covenant law as it can apply today in contrast to be being literal.
When the OT condemns tattoos and cuttings of the body, are we not justified in watching the appearances and the messages it sends today? Is the person with tattoos all over himself and piercings hanging about, a New Covenant believer's image or appearance? While the NT says nothing about tattoos, don't we have a principle on the matter? Do Christian parents here approve of their sons and daughters tattooing themselves and using the piercings? If so, did you get that from the NT or from the principles of the Old Covenant?
"House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi defended violent MS-13 gang members in a press conference Thursday, saying they are not “animals,” a term President Trump dubbed MS-13 members earlier this week."

I wonder how many of the woke crowd here agreed with Nancy Pelosi against Trump calling MS-13 members "animals"? Do the Scriptures not refer to some persons as animals?
2 Peter 2:12, NRSVue "These
people, however, are like irrational animals, mere creatures of instinct, born to be caught and killed. They slander what they do not understand, and as those creatures are destroyed, they also will be destroyed..."
Shame, shame on the apostle Peter!
