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

Insanity. Can you provide clips to prove you're a legitimate offspring of your parents. You have no monopoly over stûpid questions.

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

Stop reffering to this as pastors we know the game, we understand the rules they must follow, we understand the homage they have to pay, we understand where they belong so standing in the alta talking and being titled pastor does not make you a born again.

Can you called Ex-Rev Pastor King the murderer a born again pastor becase he stood preaching and claimed to be born again till he committed serious crime and was given a death sentence? Just to mention few.

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

Rev King is a confirmed man of god that commands a very large congregations. Please stop insulting men of god angry

How does having tattoos, dreadlocks affects the preaching

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

Leviticus 19:28 (KJV) Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.

I think this answers your question about a tattoo.

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.

It should nolonger be considered as a sin because he died for the remission of Christians sin.

There shouldn't be anything like sin after the death of Jesus if we go by the pagan sorry Christians logic

What about tribal marks

Tribal.Marks/Markings are purely man made. In the distant past, different Cultures/Civilization did it for so.many reasons which are: Class Distinctions, trade, warrior Class, priestly Class etc.

Islam totally forbids it.

What change lmao undecided

God does not care about your change. Doesn't care about everything you wrote up there. Unchangeable God does not care about your norms and dogmas.

God knows his people and that's all that matters not the gibberish you wrote up there.

No be only grand ma. Nairaland sha. Smfh!

Chai😅 I just remember the good old days when on Saturday morning in front of our compound, I did see ladies going about their business in trousers. In my mind, I called them aṣẹwo. Yet the sight was fun. Those time when film like Ìde-Eṣu, ọmọge omi film were still reigning😂😂😂

Most of us born in an era where tribal mark was a norm still have it. But knowing what I now know, I can't give my children tribal marks.

Tribal mark is symbolic with dedication to idol or deities of the land.

Leviticus 19:28 (KJV) Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.

The verse above commands two (2) things:

1. Cutting in your Flesh (Tribal Marks)

2. ..nor print any marks upon you..(Tattoos)

When God commands something, what is done in ignorance are usually forgiven but those done (willfully and arrogantly) when knowledge has come to you, then you have a case to answer because disobedience is actually not from the acts itself but from the heart! Whoever go against God's commands is of the Rebellious Heart.

Tribal Marks are slowly fading away but some people out of pride and cultural affinity are still into it, we only say don't do it anymore but they are liberty to either hear and obey or follow their ways.

We got brains for a reason. Common sense should tell you not to do certain things.

If a woman walks up to me with long eye lashes like sweeping brush, see through gown showing the colour of her panties and multiple piercings in her ears I won't listen to her preaching.

Same with a guy wearing sagged trousers and sampling his dirty boxers.

If someone got tattoos before they got born again there's a way you would carry yourself people would understand and won't judge you.

2-years ago a lady walked up to me to share the gospel, at first I wanted to dismiss her because I needed a quiet time that day. She was still insisting I listen to her that she won't take much of my time. One thing I liked about her was her honesty, she didn't hide anything from me. She was telling me about her dirty past and how all her friends abandoned her after she got born again. She told me she don't care about her friends anymore that's she's found peace in Christ unlike before when she was in the world.

I listened to her that day because of her decent appearance, it she was having OS vibes I wouldn't have wasted my time.

Yours lacks neither scriptural backing nor spiritual depth. Putting a tattoo may not necessarily be a sin. But the question is, "Is it God's will?". And for a church leader who is a model to thousands, our actions should be in full submission to God.
Do you know how many people thinking of doing a tattoo but held back by faith would now be emboldened to have one because of this action?
Tattoo is a thing of choice. But our bodies being rhe temple of God should be subject to God's will.

The world may change but God doesn't change his principles or precepts. He is immutable

These are God's principles and they will never change like you have said;:
1. Love God with all your heart
2. Love your neighbour as yourself

Any other principles outside these, are man made principles and are all subjected to change

. The change you see in the world only reflects the moral decadence that has eaten gradually into it,

which change?
Ladies putting on trousers or tattoo or dreadlocks, which one?

How many times have you heard that someone is arrested or fall sick for putting on tattoo and dreadlocks?
Do you understand what moral decadence is?

not that God has changed to accommodate such changes. Such decadence will continue until the rapture.

There is nothing decadence there.
If not, there will be atleast natural consequences of putting on tattoo

Logical approach to spirituality is spiritual blindness. Not just Christianity, any belief system.
