I saw this tract yesterday and i can't imagine the level of heresy.

We all know that appearing decent is good but the level of condemnation as seen in this tract is mind blowing and does not reflect the teachings in the Scriptures.

Nearly all the Scriptures quoted have no bearing with the images... These are the false preachers the Bible warned us about... They make salvation look like bondage hence make it extremely difficult for many to be saved... Believe it or not, some people will see this and actually believe they can't make heaven and will either give up their salvation or not even bother to accept salvation.

Can't believe that someone will take time out to spend money just to spread this heresy. Is this what salvation is all about?

Collosians 2:8
See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.

1 Samuel 16:7
But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look on appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.”

Mathew 7:1 Amp
“Do not judge, criticize and condemn others unfairly with an attitude of self-righteous superiority as though assuming the office of a judge, so that you will not be judged unfairly.

Acts 13:39

"And through him everyone who has faith is made free from all those things, from which the law of Moses was not able to make you free."

This scriptural verse simply makes it clear that we as believers are no longer under the several laws of moses as listed as sinful acts in the attached.

And finally let us go to 1 Peter 3 which makes it clear that looking beautiful outwardly in our own way is not a sin but advises that we do not just focus on looking good outwardly but also have a Godly nature... It may interest us to know that even GOD almighty loves gold, diamonds and other lovely jewels which is why he meticulously adorn paradise with gold and precious jewels.

1 Peter 3: 3 -5
"Your adornment must not be merely external--with interweaving and elaborate knotting of the hair, and wearing gold jewellery, or being superficially preoccupied with dressing in expensive clothes; 4but let it be the inner beauty of the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality and unfading charm of a gentle and peaceful spirit, one that is calm and self-controlled, not overanxious, but serene and spiritually mature which is very precious in the sight of God. For in this way in former times the holy women, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves'',

If GOD sends people to hell because of body arts(Tattoo), wearing jewelries, braiding of hair, wearing dreads, earrings and so on as listed on the attached image then that will definitely trivalize the sacrifice JESUS made on the cross...

If you feel that dressing in a certain way or appearing in a particular way is not ok by you then please dress in a way that you love but don't ever judge or condemn anyone based on your own standard or belief.

MAY GOD HELP US ALL.

My brother, do you think Heaven is like bread or butter that is easy? Why do you think only a few are on the narrow way?. How many were saved during Noah's day or in Sodom and Gomorrah? If the message is too harsh for you, ignore it at your peril.
Obedience is better than sacrifice, and fasting. Take heed lest you fall. Don't join the bandwagon who interprete the scripture to suit their convenience.
Artists of the world, would never allow any alterations to be made to their piece of arts, it's an insult to their profession and expertise ; how do you think God will feel when you think He has made a mistake given you a hair that is not long or curly, or a lips that is not pink or eyelids that are not fluffy with feathers-like hair? And you replace His image with those marine stuffs.
Why do u think ladies exposes their body part? If you become a stumbling block to another, you can not go Scot-free

Well, they jumbled up a lot of things. That said, dressing really do matter.
Bible advises moderation and prioritizing kingdom things. If one isnt careful about the way they dress, they may be mistaken with worldly people as the distinction wont be clear. This happened to Moses when he ran out of Egypt, people summarily took him fir an Egyptian probably because of the way he was groomed. Bible was so careful to suggest dress and grooming to Israelites to make them look distinct from the people of the nations.
We should prioritize honouring God with our dressing. We should always be aware that there are clouds of witnesses around us.
We should be careful also that our choice of dress does not provoke the local people. Christianity isn't about what makes us look or feel good. it is sacrifice. It is considering others in our actions and decisions

Please sir, define "evil".

Most of the time you just stand and condemn people in the name of"preaching" the gospel.

What some people do is to preach "damnation" over "reconcilation".

it won't send anyone to hell but rather the person wearing it is an evidence that he/she isn't born again with a renewed mind cos any genuine born again Christian still wearing those need to question his/her salvation.
I see you're doing a lot of work here promoting indecency in Christendom.
If you don't repent you'll meet your Doom soon.

You personally might not be a better type of person in Life than those who do those things.
Generally,being a born again Christian doesn't make you sinless by any means, Does it? So why all this hypocricy?
Being a good person is always a work in progress and a call to self.

Please quote a Scripture to back up your point cos all the Scriptures quoted on that tract have no bearing except the tattoo which will still not take you to hell.

Of course it will take you to hell. All those things are not evidence of being born again. Even Muslims will not argue the indecency in those photos.

And Jesus said except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the religious scrib and pharises you will not get into heaven.

God said be ye therefore holy, for I am holy. The word holy means to be separated. Therefore if there is no distinction between you and the world, you are not a kingdom citizen yet.

A true Christian must be holy, separated from ungodly appearance.

The words of Satan and that of demons, also written of in scripture, are also God-breathed. So, does God-breathened mean All True? undecided

Two key things we learn of God's breath from the book of Genesis are:
■ that All knowledge, be it of Good and of Evil belongs to God.
■ that God breathed His breath into every living creation.

To me personally. We don't need anybody to tell us what and what not to do before we can make heaven. The bottom line is that if truly you are born again and you have the holy Spirit in you he will teach you all things. He will be like a guide to you. So you will know within yourself if what you are doing or wearing is right or wrong. That's the gospel truth. In your mind/heart every christain knows what is good or bad, its just that some just want to pretend or justify what they are doing or wearing.
