AntiChristian:
It's clear these are forbidden in Islamic and in the old testament laws. But Christians running away from old testament laws have no law to rely on to forbid all these!

What about tribal marks

I wouldn't take a tattooed preacher serious no matter the level of repentance he portraysss...


Whatever u do today is like a planted seed...

Be mindful of what u plant

We all know that Shari'a laws are man made all to control fellow humans.

Fellow humans creating laws that are not natural.
Yet, humans will be subjected to the laws thinking it is God that created them?

No now

You call it man+made but it's better than your holy spirit inspired laws!

Tattoes, dreadlocks, Gambling, etc can't be controlled by Christianity!

cutecommend:
Will you take serious a male evangelist if you see him sagging his trouser to preach? If a so-called born again christian goes to bleach his or her skin, or goes for BBL, will you take them serious?

Now if you say: "show me in the Bible where doing dreadlocks for guys is a sin". What if I tell you to show me in the bible where sagging trouser & wearing big chain, smoking weed and bleaching are clearly called sin? you may never find it: but are they good for a born again Christian? Never.

If you are truly a born again Christian, you must walk in the Spirit. You cannot be worldly or fleshly: and if you truly have the Spirit of God working in you, He can never tell you or permit you to do tattoo, dreads etc. It is only the fleshly and worldly nature that can make someone desire to appear like the world.

A true born again Christian must align with Jesus Christ always, and will never put up an appearance that will hinder the gospel or create doubts in the mind of those who will receive the gospel from them.

Note: God will never adjust His standards to fit into the world or trends. And If you say things have changed, God's holiness and judgement in eternity has not changed.

The issue here is ignorance on your part,,
you have not been able to differentiate between religion and culture/traditions,
A clear example,, based on the region your Jesus was born, men keep long hair,, I guarantee you, with this your mentality, if a guy with long hair comes to preach to you, u will tag him a sinner.
Do better bro

Una no Dey Taya for this kain yeye topics ? Leave nigeria and get exposed..you will realize what you been practicing here is nonsense

Same o! It is forbidden. But ignorance is not my fault!

Iweakbro:
Where did it mention Tatoo? When did you become the decider of what is pure?

Is your name helinus?

Thought Jesus died for the sins of born again, every thing they do shouldn’t be counted as sins….

Sin should not exist again

God forbids tattoo but I don't know of dreadlocks.


You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh, for the dead, neither shall you make in yourselves any figures or marks: I am the Lord.

Much ado about nothing.

A very few people always control the entire living humans. They can use anything and everything. Each generation has got something that is regarded as a tabboo, but then, the next generation gets over it and sees that are thing as absolutely nothing. Hmmm. Meaning that it was absolutely nothing, but used to control the previous generation.

Only when you can see is when you get this issue. I don't argue with zombies..lol. A zombie is not worth having a conversation with, and this is why I don't get involved in debates like this.

Good morning.

So
What about worldly cars, private jets, worldly suits, phones, social media invented by atheists?

How does having tattoos, dreadlocks affects the preaching

Where in the bible was it written that you must not have a tattoo or dreadlocks

A simple Google search will help you for tattoos.
It's there gbagada in the Bible.

Above all, Paul advised us not to do certain things for the simple reason that it destroys other people faith and distracts from the message.

Pastor has wanted tattoos fora longtime, could no longer resist and finally did it.

If he did not put it on, there won't have been any noise. Putting it on now does not bring any identifiable benefit to anyone but distraction

It's clear these are frowned at both in the Islamic and in the old testament laws. But Christians running away from old testament laws have no law to rely on to forbid all these!

Same as gambling in Christianity!

What is gambling?
Who told u Christians are running away from old testament?

I hate tattooes with passion but I have no issues against people who have them although I will not employ you in my business enterprise if you have a very visible tattoo

Divine intervention in Jesus Name. Amen

Tattoos and dreadlocks are for identity protection. To create a distinct form of identity against identity thieves, impersonations , shapeshifters and body doubles and dobblebanggers. Paying for and possessing a double version of someone that looks like the original and relying on it for intelligence,insight, advice is a serious crime.

Tattoo is forbidden in the bible.
Leviticus 19:28

I sha hate religion argument...

Like a friend of mine will say ...its a whole lot of work!

Pastor Okonkwo is and will never be a pastor. He's just a motivational speaker. I think the problem is the title pastor as been so dragged in the mud that every dick n Harry now uses it.
Mr okonkwo is and will never be a pastor so also many supposed men of God. I think the leadership the Christian body needs to checkmate the title.

helinues:
I asked for where tattoos and dreadlocks was mentioned in the bible specifically

Your verse above did not include that

Fallacy of asking for unrealistic specificity especially as it is well known that the Bible aims to condemn every wrong man can do whether specifically stated or not. Hence it contains omnibus and general provisions covering every issue of wrong that man can do. Which is why the bible does not need updating and amendment

paxonel:
How many people has God killed because he had tattoo or dreadlock?
Mention one

Change of post!

cutecommend:
God does not move an inch if the world is changing into worldliness, fleshly lifestyle or corruption. God's standard of holiness remains forever.

💯

Jayhome24:
You guys don't really understand this game at all.

This guy that wear dreadlocks is doing family business not God business, the Tatoo efulefu claimed pastor is paying occultic homeage... full stop. Thanks...

God have mercy. 🙏🤲😢

Because imagine the number of people this lifestyle choice of his will influence, because he’s an established “Man of God”. 😢😥😩

These ones are not pastors but direct Beelzebub's proxies to carter for his needs

paxonel:
Tattoo or no tattoo, it means absolutely nothing.
Circumcision or no circumcision, it means absolutely nothing
Dreadluck, hair plaiting, ear piercing, etc

You know what my grand ma told me one day?
She said there was a time in this Nigeria were any woman seen putting on trousers, she will be tagged ashawo.

You can't fight certain change and succeed

The world may change but God doesn't change his principles or precepts. He is immutable. The change you see in the world only reflects the moral decadence that has eaten gradually into it, not that God has changed to accommodate such changes. Such decadence will continue until the rapture.

PolyGamous:

Sin should not exist again

Are you a Christian? If you are not one, then I can excuse the above. If you are then the above is wrong. Disobeying GOD's will and commandments is sin.

Fake pastors all over naija territory. The only man that I can associate god with is that Benue pastor but he too his cashing out now. So no one is man of god.
