We may continue to argue if it is a vice or not but no one has said it is a virtue either, it is only in matters of spirituality and morals that we go for the "base edition" trying to play on the border line of is it a sin or not. When do we go to the "Limited edition" of is it virtuous or not.Having said this, It baffles me how Christians pass judgement on their own these days, while we still preach that "even if your sin are as scarlet, they shall be white as snow...". I Hope we really believe this. The question is will this permanent tattoo on his body take him to hell? You can also ask " Will someone who has killed go to hell? The answer to the above questions cannot be a Yes or NO without a condition attached. The condition will be on: if the person dies in such a state without availing his/her self of the redemptive merit of Christ's death through repentance and asking for pardon from God. Yes, if he does and No, if he does not. 1 Like |

Hmmmm thiis is one topic I ve been looking forward to witness. Yeah its a sensitive topic that can lead and misslead, that is y posters and readers should be careful to decipher the ethics within the posts here. Tatooing in my own definition is simply body art and it is certain that ppl who love and apreciate the works of art, nature etc will like to have a tatoo on them. I know the bible talks wrong about marking your bodies in the old testament some where in Leviticus which was the era of the mosaic laws, fine but now we see it as a new culture of art and therefore forgeting or overlooking the scriptures. The fact is the bible wrote against it being the will of God and that should be respected. Now to the posters questions, tatooing will n cannot stop a child of God from making heaven becos d bible says we will leave our bodies n our souls will be taken 2 heaven, nobody has the power to conderm anyone to hell btw who made them judge ova man concerning the thing of God. God is looking for your soul not your body so pls if you have tatoos pls come to christ the way you are because it is you he wants more. Thank you 2 Likes |

My 2 cents guys. The followers/believers of/in Jesus Christ were termed disciples before they were first called "Christians" in Antioch. Dictionary defines a disciple as "one who accepts and assists in spreading the doctrines of another". If we are disciples of Jesus Christ (Christians), we should accept and then spread the doctrines/teachings of Jesus Christ. There were so many laws God gave the Israelites in the days of Moses which are not relevant anymore. They were meant for that dispensation. When Jesus Christ came with his message of Salbvation, he changed most of them. See mathew chapter 5. I believe we should check out what Jesus said about any issue before we conclude. What did he have to say about tattoos? 1 Like |

God doesnt want us to smoke ... yet he created tobacco and weeds, he doesnt want us to drink yet he gave us finest beers and rums... he doesnt want us to kill and then he gave us weapons, he doesnt want us to fornicate yet he gave us the urge ... he doesnt want us to tattoo yet he gave us the ink ...everything he created was perfect and yet we have deaf and dumb, the cripple and the midgets...god is love yet he throws anyone that sin into hell fire that burns forever. even as wicked as my great grand mother was, she cannot throw anybody into hot water let alone fire just for lying or wearing tattoo or drinking.... why would u tempt ur creations with tobacco, weeds and tattoo and when they fall for it, u throw them into hell fire and still claim u love them ... this is beyond me 2 Likes |

I think d problem of the african church is dat we cant differentiate btw our conservative culture aka tradition & temperaments from christianity. If u re in d yoruba land where d words of elders re final; even wen d elder is saying words of 15century we must take it. That's why an uneducated pastor in lagos will tell u dat studying upto PHD mains u re nt expecting d second coming of d Lord. As per temperament. If u re a pure sanguine or extrovert; if u go to Deeper life; Kumuyi members will see u as a carnal broda because u re nt walking like Kumuyi d introvert. Same goes for this tattoo.

oludy: My 2 cents guys. Really? . In Matthew 5:18 Jesus says: For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one letter, not one stroke of a letter, will pass from the law until all is accomplished. It goes further to say; Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven Isaiah 40:8, "the word of our God stands forever." Matthew 5:17 Think not that I have come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I have not come to destroy, but to fulfil. Why do you guys always want to pick & choose what you think is convenient for you at a particular time?Like i stated in previous thread,there really is no middle ground.The Bible has to be an-all-or-nothing book.You can't pick and choose at your convenience 1 Like |

Ghettoguru: Thanks guys for your inputs. @ghettoguru, Christianity is all about principles and considerations,as someone has earlier said before,we r no longer under any law,as Christ has redeemed us from that(gal3;13-14),but d fact that we have liberty in Christ doesn't mean we should allow our liberty 2 become a stumbling block 2 others that are of little faith,anything that does not glorify God will definitely glorify d devil,but in ur case,u did it out of ignorance,which is forgivable,we serve a merciful and compassionate God whose desire is 2 see that many come 2 repentance what can be tagged as "sin" 2 one b4 God might not be in d case of som1 else in my own opinion,it is ur motive behind ur action that maters b4 God,for man looks outwardly,while God looks in2 d heart 1 Like |

Re: Will Having Tattoos Send Me To Hell? by salt1: 7:32pm On Jan 27, 2013 |
I believe 1. That there is heaven and hell. I prefer to go through life believing this and living as tho they exist, die and find out that they don't really exist; than to go through life (80years most likely) believing they don't exist and wake up on the other side to see they exist. 2. That Christ said that the way is narrow and few they be that find it. Therefore, I would prefer to travel SO LIGHT (no doubtful things: tatoos inclusive) that I can slip through that narrow gate than carrying so much doubtful things that I hit the two doorposts and be barred from entering. 3. That your outward appearance is a reflection of your inner being. Others think the same way too, which is why we can think someone is a prostitute because she LOOKS like one. Of course she may not be one but I won't like my Christian integrity or testimony to be in doubt at any time. People should tell who and what I am. They could do so with the early Christians at Antioch. 4. That the heaven described in the Bible is soooooo beautiful that whatever price paid to enter it is cheap. Heaven is cheap at any price. Not that tatoo is even a price for me. Many people think like me: that those with tatoos are Thinking-Ahead-Deficient. It affects your perception in the work place and in many other civil engagements. Yet to hear of a bank MD with nose and tongue piercings. 5. That people think differently is immaterial. God will judge both the ACTION and INTENTION so judgement will be very personal. |

Either we like it or not, we shall all face the judgement throne. You can do whatever you like with your body but, HIS standards will never change. If you think you can armtwist God to conform to your mortal, corrupt, eye pleasing, scientific evidence based thinking, then you are deceiving yourself. Not a single jot of HIS word will go unfulfilled. If you like, obtain the mark of the beast, afterall, it is your life. Everyone knows that God is loving but, for mortal man to question His authority and agape love is tantamount to heresy....shalom. |
