the issue am talking about is Christian liberty... Christian liberty if not properly used can be sin...
that's true! Then let those who want to make good use of the liberty make good use of it. And let those who want to take the liberty for granted and begin to go into crimes and social vices on the account that they have tatoo on their body, face the full wrath of the law.
It's as simple as that.

The pontiff said tattoos could be used by young priests to connect to people they were trying to reach out to because tattoos often communicated information about a person.

Speaking during a meeting with young people at The Vatican, Pope Francis gave the example of Christian girls in Eritrea where a tattoo of a cross on their forehead were used as a symbol of beauty and religious faith.

He said: "The Eritreans for years made the cross here (the forehead). Also today we see them. The cross was tattooed."
He added: "Don't be afraid of tattoos." The tattoo could spark conversation and provide a way for a priest to find out more about an individual and connect with the "culture of the young", he explained.
Pope Francis said: "Tattoos often signify membership in a community.
the christian church never used tattoo to pass out message, tatoo originated from pagans.

Christians know that their body is the temple of the holy ghost and will not defile it with tattoos.

Roman catholic church has always promoted paganism and exalted Satan over God but her end will come.
She had lead billions of innocent souls astray.

funny enough I have read the koran , all my priest friends have the Koran in their personal library... that doesn't stop anyone from been a Christian.

From your name “Ubenedictus”, it’s very obvious you are Igbo, and majority of Igbo are Catholics , meaning you will likely support and behave like him (the Pope)and have his kind of mentality.

How can a real Christian will so fraternise with a religion which is constantly antagonising his Christian faith up to the extent of fellowshiping and worshiping with them in their Santuary , praying to their god , reading their holy book and even keeping it in their library.

Infact anytime I check the history of Rome and Vertical , I am sometimes tempted to feel that the Muslim world today is almost what the catholic world was so many years ago.
Even up till now , they have some distinctive similarities.

you have not answered my question.
Leviticus was old testament, christianity started in new testament.
Show me in new testament where early apostles were asked not to tatoo
My dear christianity have been since the old testament. Christianity started from the Very first day God the Father, The Son and Holy spirit came together to make man after His image and likeness. Christianity means Christlike both in conduct and way of life. That was God's original plan for man until man fell. Before Jesus have to come in human form. Though the apostle were first called christians in the new testament does not mean christianity started then.

this is what they made you to believe in church abi?
You will learn something new today,
Christianity started after Jesus resurrected, that was the beginning of salvation.

Christianity means Christlike both in conduct and way of life.
this is another error from church teachings! Please o, no one has ever and will ever live like Christ.
A scripture says all have sinned, so churches are not telling you the truth.

Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:


the mark of the beast, which the beast out of the earth-the false phophet will cause people to receive on their forehead or right hand could be a tattoo,




the mark could be a tattoo:

mark
G5480

χάραγμα
charagma
khar'-ag-mah
From the same as G5482; a scratch or etching, that is, stamp (as a badge of servitude), or sculptured figure (statue): - graven, mark.
Total KJV occurrences: 9


did someone say that pope is encouraging tattoos
tattoos are so common these days, it won't be hard to have people take the mark, if it's a tattoo

you must also imagine that an assembly of Satan gave you the new testament canon and from 200ad to 1600ad when Protestantism began all the Christian living then went to hell as they were the assembly of Satan.


you just don't realise that if Catholicism is satanic so too is the new testament canon, so too all of Christian history until the Reformation.

instead the truth is that you all schism out of the Catholic Church, the Catholic Church is the true Church and you guys are the division in the body of Christ which is condemned in the Bible as sinful

Do you know dishonesty is a sin? How did i cherry pick? Did you not see Cutting or trimming of beards in my post?
Christians violating that instruction does not make that law invalid. But for a clergy to preach for it,
So your Pope is right for urging priest to draw tattoos enh?

No wahala we shall meet the Lord, then all this defence of error shall be interesting.

Listen, if my Bishop Oyedepo appends Tattoo, i will condemn that teaching.

The Pope is not speaking for Jesus. Anyone who says do what the Lord has said don't do, is of the devil, square and simple. He knows who he stands for.
lol, you have brought out obsolete commands just to bring condemnation, commands I'm sure you guys don't obey, you guys trim your beard and your hair which is condemned and you are here talking about tatoo, I will bet you are wearing a cloth made from more than one type of fabric which leventicus condemns but you don't obey those one but present these obsolete laws to condemn the pope that is cherry picking.

actually it seems the Church in Ethiopia did use tattoo to spread out the message.

not everything is paganism, you guys seems so focused on labelling things that you have missed the message.

nothing u eat drink or even draw that defile the body, nothing that goes in defiles, it is what comes out that is the defilement.

of course my username is ubenedictus and it indicate I am Christian and Catholic... but I'm not Igbo, stop the ethnic profiling.

the Bible say follow peace with all men, before Paul preach in Athens he went around and saw what they worshipped and saw the image of the unknown God which was the basis of his teaching, if you don't know what they believe and you are seen as antagonistic then you have little hope of converting them.

lastly when I check the violent origins of Protestantism I also see the similarities with the Muslim fundamentalist.

Very sorry! The Pope is wrong here. The Bible which is the authoritative word of God warns us against that. Lev. 19:28

The Pope is a human being and not God. He cannot set aside God's word with human reasoning.

Avoid tattoo, it doesn't just connect you with people, it opens you up to demonic activities.

do you also avoid trimming your beard and wearing clothes made of two fabric types because the law also condemns that.

Ethiopian Orthodox Church use Tabbot, not Tattoo. It’s the only church which uses Tabbot and also to be highly influenced by Judaism.

Let me join in throwing around scripture passages.


Lev.19:19

“You shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your cattle breed with a different kind. You shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor shall you wear a garment of cloth made of two kinds of material.

Deut.22:8

"When you build a new house, put a parapet around the roof, so that you do not bring bloodguilt upon your house if someone falls off.


James 2:10

"For whoever keeps the entire law, yet fails in one point, is guilty of breaking it all".
