Your sin will never stop you from making heaven? Seriously? Don't misguide people pls.
Tattoo is a forbidden act, straight up!

alBHAGDADI:

If you had a tattoo before you became a believer, it won't be counted as sin once you become a believer. This is because your sins have been washed away by the Blood of Jesus. Once you get your perfect body on the day of resurrection, the tattoo you currently have won't be there anymore.

If the case is that you are a believer and you want to get a tattoo, it means you want to knowingly commit sin despite knowing God's commandment against such. If you go ahead to draw the tattoo on your body, God may punish you for it. But can that sin stop you from going to Heaven? No. Sin can't prevent you from making heaven if you believe that Jesus salvation is permanent and can't be lost. That doesn't mean you should abuse it, even though if you do you still won't lose heaven. For example, if you know your mother will always love you, should that make you want to always treat her like trash? If you know God will always love you, should that make you treat his commandments like trash?

Happy Sunday Folks! Blessed one in Jesus name Brethren.

This keeps bulging my mind because have seen some believers that have tattoos on their body and they are strong believers. They have the tattoo when they are unbelievers but after they converted to been a believer, the tattoo still remains because it's a permanent one.

Assuming I have the tattoo of my mother or father or my son/daughter on my body and a strong believer of Christ, does that makes me an unbeliever or does that mean that I need to get the tattoo erased before I can make it to heaven.

I remembered when we were been preached to by pastor then that God says we shouldn't have any form of tattoo on our body, christ sees it as sin.

But the issue now is, let's look at this two different scenarios;

1. I have a tattoo when I was an unbeliever, but converted to a believer and there's no way I can erased the tattoo, does that still makes me an unbeliever?

2. I'm a believer of Christ, strong and faithful to him. But I wish to have an image of my dad/ mum or son/daughter because of the much love I have for him/her, does that still changes me to been an unbeliever in christ?

Brethrens, please let's contribute to this issues and share your opinions with reference to the word of God.

Stay happy ❤️
3. You love Jesus so much that you have his tattoo on your body. How about that? Is it a sin

Lol, the brother up there said you can still repent after getting the tatoo.
So go ahead, get that tatoo you want, you can get as many as you want on your body, just make sure you repent and it's all forgotten. Now you can rock your tattoo without it being a sin. Lmao. Christianity is a joke.

Oga stop quoting the Bible wrongly to suit your selfish intent.

The Bible verse you referred addressed the following:

Cutting and tattooing for the dead were religious-cultural norms in the pagan cultures under God's judgment in the promised land. ... Here it refers to cutting “for the dead.” This is done still today in Eastern cultures in the process of mourning the dead.

Tattoo is bad.


It limits your career growth in the formal sector.


It limits your chances of securing a job as a job seeker.


It limits your chances of getting a worthy relationship or marriage partner especially as a lady.


It limits your chances of political growth in politics as you will be seen as unserious and wayward person without strict principle, such person can't be considered a worthy leader of the people.

God frowns at it.

Your parents frowns at it.


The elderly frowns at it.


Security men profile you because of it and prejudge you as a potential criminal.

Only the wayward youths and entertainment world celebrates it.

What then is the benefit of having a tattoo if not to satisfy your immoral mind and that of your fellow immoral group


So why draw a tattoo in the first place


Have you ever seen someone buy a Rolls Royce car with gold plating and then uses knife to scratch it to make it look prettier This should let you know that people that draw tattoo are wayward, insecure, easily influenced by the world around them, are under peer pressure, cannot resist society or peer pressure, and such people cannot become worthy leaders.

No be quarrel too for my end. I just wanted to clarify the position of the Bible verse you referred.

The Bible didn't say we can't wear tattoo to the glory of God. It is when it glorifies evil that a sin presents.

There's nothing or a religion called Christian it something formed by the Romans just to fooled y'all to step away from God and worship their idols, why is that messiah never start any religion he worshipped God the same way all the prophets before him worshipped God, he washed his face, hands and feets but how many of you so called Christians wash your facea and feets before praying to God?

YES!

The old testament forbids it (as a chosen people you are not to mark your body)...

The new testament said your body is the temple of God...

A real Christian (which there are very few like 0.5% of those who claims to), wouldn't get a tattoo. Why? Even take tattoo of Jesus or Bible Verse is disobedience.

Obedience is better than sacrifice and God said rebellion is equal to WITCHCRAFT
Thank u my brother.
In addition, if u are a Christian u know where to get ur points to stand on..that is meet ur pastor and don't ask me how to know a good pastor bc u all know how to detect fake alert and scammers

A lot of formally employed people wear tattoo but not on obvious parts of their bodies.

A lot of potential husbands and wives don't mind tattoos, it is just unfortunate when you meet people that frown at it and often times because of their personal believes and bias.

God doesn't frown at it when it does not glorify evil and not all parents frown at it.

As for everyone that is against it, you are all entitled to your personal believes and bias. Don't generalize your believes or bias.

people with vsible tattoo are seen unprofessional in their work place and may even limit one's attribute to a potential career unless he or she is in the entertainment sector.
Meanwhile
Leviticus 19:28—"Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you"—so as to prohibit tattoos,

Bible also forbid us from having any graven image.

Why do you want to get a tattoo?

Before God, actions is what matters.
The reason behind everything u do.
Why do you want to have tattoo on Ur body as a believer? 90% of people with tattoos are unbelievers.
The Bible clearly states that don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers... What relationship had light with darkness.
The Bible says whatsoever u do as a Christian in words or indeed, do it to the glory of God.

If u aren't a believer nd u got a tattoo, once u accept Jesus Christ as ur lord and saviour ,all Ur past is forgiven.

Yes.

Leviticus 19:28—"Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you.

Most employers won't employ you if they see a visible tattoo on you.

You can't be a pastor, if you have tattoos.

There are opportunities you can miss all because of visible tattoos.

Most people don't take people that have tattoo seriously.



well, you forgot to read the verse before vs 28.

Leviticus 19:27. King James Bible
Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.

New King James Version
You shall not shave around the sides of your head, nor shall you disfigure the edges of your beard.

Do you shave the hair on your head or your beards? If you do you're a sinner.

The same body you expect God to keep healthy, God to protect, God to bless, God to save is the same body you are using to advertise another company and business interest.

When you get to the office tomorrow carry the placard, the flag, the logo of your company's ace rival and plant it right in front of your desk and see what your bosses and directors think about that.
