If you think the old testament is valid then you should equally have a second wife because God himself encouraged it, he encouraged war, sacrifice of animal blood, and slavery too. Old things are past away including the old testament.

No believer is bound by the laws of Moses. Especially not gentiles like us. When the Israelites left Egypt, God gave them these laws to avoid contamination of his people by other tribes. It is funny how christians of nowadays will start picking specific laws from the OLD testament just to justify their ideologies. This is the same old testament that recommended killing of goats to wash sins away.
While the laws of the old testament are not completely irrelevant, we have to understand that we are bound by the NEW covenant.
Nigerians can be quite hypocritical when it comes to these thing. We don't question tribal marks, yet we question tattoos! What is the difference?
Also, another key issue dividing the body of christ is on whether females should wear trousers or not. What most ignorant people don't know is that TROUSERS were introduced, not primarily as male clothing, but to enable people RIDE HORSES. This made it subject to cultures over time. In most South-East Asian cultures, men wear skirts. Yet our Pastors here in Nigeria tell us that wearing trousers will take you to hell because it is "male clothing".
Back to the main issue, I won't recommend anyone getting a tattoo because of the stigmatization attached with body art. I'm also against males wearing ear-rings, not because I think its a sin, but because I know Jesus won't be happy with it.

hahaha, it is not a sin, but Jesus Will not be happy....


pls don't misinterpret the bible the new testament did not come to destroy the old testament. We must be very careful

okay good, now this your own believe of Christianity . many other people believe you look the way you like but your inner self is what God looks at. This is the problem with religion today, so much conflict and too many church's.

There is this popular American pastor who goes by the name(carl lentz).

He has tattoos drawn all over his arms but he still perform wonders and had drawn many Hollywood actors to christ,for example,he made jarule a born again christian.

He preaches the gospel well and act according to the gospel but his tattoos seem's to turn me off.

Can this type of pastor make heavean?


About female wearing trousers and ear rings,in the old testament the women of Israel wear jewelries a lot...if God condemned those stuff as you claimed,he wouldn't have created them in the first place.

hahaha don't be deceived, this is what the devil is using to destroy many.

have you not read, 'present your bodies as a living sacrifice '

what is the meaning of that?

God wants to live in man, but the house he must stay should be holy and physically clean.

story. I don't see where Jesus corrected slavery, polygamy, tattoo marks and body piercing. And even if it where corrected why wasn't it discarded. Why are they still in our bibles today? For reference purposes or to confuse Christians ??

Jesus said he didn't come to abolish d law but to fulfill it. As at d time of the apostles, the only scriptures dey were having was d old testament and dat was wat dey always referred to. Even wen Jesus resisted the devil during the three temptations, all d scripture he quoted were from the book of deuteronomy which is part of the law so y should anyone say it isn't relevant today anymore.
Am surprise also, most churches don't even preach from the old testament again but if they're to talk about tithe that's when they go to the book of Malachi

you don't get it! Their are many portions of the old testament you can't imagine God can ever encourage. Example during war you are expected to kill him(the unbeliever) and take his wife and children as slaves. Some Today Muslims think it's right to kill because God encouraged it. The qoran and the bible tell the same stories in slitly different ways but you read it well u get the same picture. All am saying is if anyone thinks the old testament should be fully adhered to, then he should welcome all the evil done their as well which isn't right. Some of the things God encouraged is sickling... And morally wrong.

It says something about that in the book of Leviticus
The Bible’s answer
The Bible mentions tattoos just once, at Leviticus 19:28, which says: “You must not put tattoo marking upon yourselves.” God gave this command to the nation of Israel, thus setting them apart from the neighboring peoples who marked their skin with the names or symbols of their gods. (Deuteronomy 14:2) While the Law given to Israel is not binding on Christians, the principle underpinning this law is worth serious consideration.

Should a Christian get a tattoo or body art?[b][/b]

The following Bible verses can help you to reason on the matter:

“Women should adorn themselves with . . . modesty.” (1 Timothy 2:9, New American Bible) That principle applies to both women and men. We should respect the feelings of others and not draw undue attention to ourselves.
Some want to establish their identity or independence, while others get a tattoo in order to assert ownership of their body. However, the Bible encourages Christians: “Present your bodies a sacrifice living, holy, acceptable to God, a sacred service with your power of reason.” (Romans 12:1) Use your “power of reason” to analyze why you want a tattoo. If it is because you want to follow a fad or to show membership in a certain group, remember that your feelings may prove to be less permanent than the tattoo. Examining your motives can help you to make a wise decision.—Proverbs 4:7.
“The plans of the diligent one surely make for advantage, but everyone that is hasty surely heads for want.” (Proverbs 21:5) The decision to get a tattoo is often made in haste, yet it can have a long-term impact on relationships and employment. And tattoos can be costly and painful to remove. Research—as well as the booming business of tattoo removal—shows that a large number of those who get tattoos eventually wish that they hadn’t.

About female wearing trousers and ear rings,in the old testament the women of Israel wear jewelries a lot...if God condemned those stuff as you claimed,he wouldn't have created them in the first place.
did God create cigerates, alcohol, cocaine, lesbianism, phonography I can name them for ever. Yes God condemned jewelries in the old testament, mind you the Israelites used it to make a god when Moses went to get the commandments, why else will you Peirce your body if not to put jewelry on them.
