enigmagu1: nigeria is not lawless the problem is enforcement sir...

I beg to differ, when the laws of a country are not obeyed then such a country is said to be lawless...
A country where jungle-justice is a norm is lawless sir.

We need these laws in Nigeria - Nigeria is too lawless.

She has been included on the list of scammers here:

Wonder why Nigerians love elaborate weddings? Nigerians just love to show off which is why corruption is endemic in Nigeria.

Mr_Anony: I don't see how having a tattoo affects my communion with God.

The same way mastur.bation affects your communion with God.

Mr_Anony: Lol Ok then, smoking moderately perhaps?

......by the way Jesus drank alchohol and attended many parties including one with a pro[color=#000000]stit[/color]ute also in attendance and one hosted by a well known sinner. He was called a glutton and a drunkard by the "mature christians" of his time (a.k.a. pharisees)

Smoking and tattooing add no value to us so there should be no such thing as doing them moderately.

Where and when did Jesus take alcohol? Please dont blasphem. Jesus turned water into wine, not alcohol. And anytime He associated with sinners, it was for the sole purpose of saving them - nothing more.

Mr_Anony: First of all you have to ascertain for me that they are sinful fleshly pleasures because food and drink are also cravings of the flesh. I will ask you to tell me exactly how cigarretes and tattoos contradict the fruit of the Spirit. I don't see how they do.

Chai! So you dont know how cravins of the flesh go against the fruit of the Spirit? You be true international pastor (lol).

You even equate water and food with tattoo and cigarette (lmao). Ok, let me help your ignorance: food and water are essential for life; they are a neccessity to stay alive. Tattoo and cigarette/hemp/cocaine etc are not essentials for life but mere cravings of the flesh
However, gluttony is a sin because it is a craving of the flesh.

Mr_Anony: Lol, I hope you know that coffee and cocacola will also damage your internal organs. . .but they are not sin.

....and yeah, Jesus Christ was also called an agent of the devil.

Caffeine acts as a central nervous system stimulant, temporarily warding off drowsiness and restoring alertness.
Caffeine is toxic at sufficiently high doses.
So what quantity of caffeine is in coca cola and coffee that makes them damage your internal organs? Seems you are willing to say just about anything to support your stance.
Philippians 4:5
"Let your moderation be known unto all men . The Lord is at hand."

And please dont even try to compare yourself with Jesus because He would never get a tattoo or smoke if He were on earth today.

Mr_Anony: What?? Oh no??

One question for you to ponder: How do you reconcile the fruit of the Spirit: Self-Control with smoking marijuana and cocaine?

You should be the one asking yourself this question because you are the one who claim it's ok for a Christian to tattoo and smoke.
So how do you reconcile these cravings of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit?

Mr_Anony: ....and yeah mas[color=#000000]turbat[/color]ion is a sin. Smoking isn't.

Now I know you are not only a false teacher but also a confused one: how is smoking better than mastur.bation? If anything mastur.bation is better because you are damaging nothing. Your mission is simply to mislead and I know who is using you.

It's a waste of resources debating with a false teacher who says it's ok to intentionally destroy your skin by tattooing and destroy your internal organs by smoking.
Matt. 24:11 - And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

Becacia_Barbie: Na wa o!

lol

jmoore: smh. tattoo is a wicked act? abeg go and study your bible well

The fact that you dont know or believe doesnt change the truth/fact. Some dont believe in the existence of God or even hell, but do their beliefs change the truth?

She's so young, I think she's even single.

Mr_Anony: Nonsense...this is a clear example of Ad hominen/Guilty by Association Fallacy.

If something is true, it is true.....It is irrelevant whose mouth is saying it (or whose fingers are typing it). Truth remains truth.

Guilty by association is not a fallacy my friend, it is a known fact that birds of a feather flock together. Jesus made it very clear that if you truly worship God then the world will condemn and reject you. So when an atheist agrees with your doctrine, what does that tell you about your true standing with God?

Truth is you've diluted the Bible and Christianity to the extent that your doctrine appeals to atheists.

Mr_Anony: Lol, so food is now the problem abi? I can also talk about circumcision as well. The point is that the early church didn't burden the Gentiles with any Mosaic Laws except sexual immorality and eating of blood i.e. strangled animals and food offered to idols (Acts 15).

"....Since we have heard that certain persons who have gone out from us, though with no instructions from us, have said things to disturb you and have unsettled your minds, we have decided unanimously to choose representatives and send them to you, along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, who have risked their lives for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ. We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who themselves will tell you the same things by word of mouth. For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to impose on you no further burden than these essentials: that you abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled and from fornication. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell."
Acts 15:24-29

Notice that there is no talk of tattoos there at all. Where are you getting your doctrine from?

Did you also notice there is no mention of smoking or mastur.bation in the verses you quoted, so I guess it means it's ok to smoke and mastur.bate.

You are obviously still a baby Christian; for you, any act that is not directly and expressly mentioned as a sin in the Bible is not a sin. Little wonder you keep asking people to show you where "thou shall not tattoo" is written in the Bible.
Not every sin can be listed in the Bible but with wisdom you ought to know that "your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit" means if you damaged the temple in any way then God will definitely frown at it.

Please pray for wisdom.

Ghettoguru: Thanks for your comment, but I'm confused at the emboldened. How is having tattoos wickedness? A wicked man is a wicked man, having tattoos doesn't make one wicked. I agree I erred for putting on the tattoos in the first place but that doesn't make me a wicked person....I'm a good person, I have never been wicked to any one or on anything all my life. Thanks any way.

It is not until you hurt another man that you are wicked before God; any sin or evil act is wickedness before God. And since tattooing is sinful, it is a wicked act in the Lord's eyes.

The links you provided showed nothing. Is it just me or can anybody confirm opening the links?

The above post is Sagamite using a different ID, thus is ignored. Sagamite, you are on my ignore list so quit trying to get reactions from me because you aint gonna get it.

We need bank slips as confirmation, please.

Mr_Anony: Lol, Ever heard of what is called a non-sequitor? Equating na[color=#000000]kedne[/color]ss to killing of twins just doesn't follow.

The fact that you and logicboy (a confirmeed atheist) share the same opinion goes to show what the end-time church has turned into. This is deeply troubling.

Logicboy03: See this bible remixer! What is the difference between a scar and a tattoo? My friend has a scar from an iron that looks like a tattoo! Or the Yoruba people that have tribal marks will go to hell abi?


When they say "our body is the temple of the lord", it is not literal. It doesnt mean the human body, rather what we do with our lives.

Do you even know the definition of tattoo? How dare you call scars tattoos? Please consult a dictionary for better understanding.

And when they say "our body is the temple of God", it is literal. The life we live is very different from the body so please dont try to equate the two.

I'm not surprised by the fact that you dont understand the Bible, you are an atheist thus impossible for you to understand a spiritual book. It is clearly stated in the Bible why you cant understand.

Mark 4:11-12
King James Version (KJV)
11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:
12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.

Goshen360: @ FXKing2012,

I just thought of something now reading your other thread. Here is my question if you/we consider tattoo as a sin.

Do you consider tattoo as a sin NOT UNTO DEATH That's if you/we consider it as a sin.

I'm just asking for purpose of biblical reasoning, no offense please!

Now, that is the intelligent question we should be asking: tattooing is definitely a sin but is it a sin unto death? In other words, can/will it take us to hell?

We serve a kind and loving God, so I'm inclined to believe that the GRACE of God will not make it possible for such to take us to hell so long our heart is right with God.
