Amazing

Those preachers with tatoos and dreads are obviously trying to reach a certain group of people in the society who they feel will easily accept their gospel because of the way they look like them unlike other decently Godly dressed preachers who preach to them from the point of condemnation you have to behave like a mockey to catch a mockey.

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

Lev.19.28 - You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you : I am the LORD.

Make reference to the bolded.

Please i hope yoi have the above in your Holy Bible....
Thanks.

How does having tattoos, dreadlocks affects the preaching

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

k.. check Leviticus 19:28...God is against tatoo

Neddstark:
Yours lacks neither scriptural backing nor spiritual depth

do you expect me to go about looking for scriptures that mention anything about tattoo or dreadlocks?
Ofcourse there is nothing like that.
Just like you will never see scriptures saying anything about applying creams to your skins, and you people don't see anything bad in it

. Putting a tattoo may not necessarily be a sin. But the question is, "Is it God's will?"

we all know what God's will are.
Certainly, not putting on tattoo is not one of them.
God's will are Love God with your heart and love your neigbour as yourself.

All these your tattoo laws nor join

. 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?

that's the problem!
People keep imitating people or fear what people will say for nothing.

Personally, putting on tattoo will not put food to my table that's why i don't care to have one one me.

Why will someone put on tattoo because he sees it on a pastor or anyone?
Can't you just put on your tattoo for whatever reason best known to you and leave pastors or people alone?

Tattoo is a thing of choice. But our bodies being rhe temple of God should be subject to God's will.

The only way we can subject to God's will is to love God and men.
Not tattoo or no tattoo.

How tattoo come concern God who is a spirit that lives in the body?
I nor get am o

Druss:
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.

Right, before Christ it has been to live by the will and commandment of God, but after Christ, it was preached that he took all our sins, not the past but eternal.

That’s what got me baffled, because this is the reason why some people are ruthless, because they believe they will be forgiven.

There is nothing wrong with tattoos ,infact tattoos is part and parcel of African culture and our ancestors used tattoos to beautify themselves . Stop following all these Western religions trash.

So if you are on tattoos and dreadlocks, people will believe you when are preaching right Or wont they see you as someone they need to preach too or give moral advice?

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

Yes even when you are gay or lesbian or a druggie or whatever, god doesn’t care. This is exactly why I left 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.

It is such a pity that Christians are no more changing the world, it is now the world that is changing Christians. Worse still, pastors too are now being changed by the world.

I know you are a "practising " Christian of course 😉

So, please tell me, that Leviticus verse were made by men to control them abi?

How come it then, that this man made ordinace found their way into the Bible?

Any explanation Padre?

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.

Is it not things that idolaters do when they want to worship their idols that God warned Israelites against?
Let them disobey now, they will see the consequence, it's simple.

But for today Christians?
God did not kill any Christian because of tattoo.
Not even in bible days or today.
true or false?

Those ones are not pastors. They are the ones the Bible calls false preachers

Of course I never read that God killed anyone because of printing marks upon themselves but what I do know and read about is that God whom you worship expressly commanded that marks should not ne printed on your person.

So, which way would you go? What God commands or what your heart dictates?

The choice is yours.

Yes i have come across this particular verse in the old testament but sometimes God does things in his own way that we humans can't just understand we have seen preachers that have gone to brothels to convert prostitutes. Those people you see with tattoos and dreads might even have pure hearts and might end up making heaven than the normal Godly and decently dressed preachers of today who commit all kinds of atrocities behind closed doors.

There is nothing wrong with dreadlocks you people are mad

According to the book that the white man used to enslave you

These ones ain't no pastors, they're just self sewing individuals who are lucky to have found themselves some sheepie that wouldn't think and reason with their God-given brains or what else can make people so gullible

Tattoo or no tattoo, it means absolutely nothing.

They are those who were BORN AGAINST the doctrines of Christ Jesus. They are the ones you see hustling at the very narrow gate of heaven without any intention of entering inside. They are appointed to be stumbling blocks at the gate of heaven to divert casual visitors away from the path of eternal life. Beware of the BORN AGAINST

Can you judge a book by it's cover? This is what you're preaching..... that you can look at someone and know by appearance if that person is born again. if he is dreadlocked .... or has tattoos ... he's not. Is it really about walking in the Spirit? ...or about appearance? Which is it?... you're confused. If a worldly dreadlocked and tattooed man decide to give up his lifestyle and be born again ...must be first get rid of his tattoos and cut his locks?

Dreadlocks is the natural hairstyle of the African .... wasn't this th hairstyle of Jesus and the Disciples? ...what was Sampson's hairstyle? ... or were they White? If dreadlocks is not Godly ..hat is? ...crew cut? ... Born Again should trim their hair ....keep it short ...well groomed .... having the desire to keep up with the world? awhich is it? ... you're confused.

Lol

It is said that it is better to burn down a city than allow an evil customs to persists.

Call out evil even if it is against you.

Perhaps you have a tattoo on you, if it was done in ignorance, God forgives but willfully and knowingly going against a clear command from God by teaching men to go against such command or justifying their rebellion against such commands makes you a REPROBATE.

Desist.

Who made that policies? In which bible verse can we find it that people should not have tattoos or dreadlocks

Leviticus 19:28

immortalcrown:
What is the spiritual or health benefit of tattoo?

If there is none, Christians should not get tattoos. Getting tattoos before becoming a Christian is different.

The bible in the old testament is against putting marks on the body. The problem with Tattoos is it is over Outward obsession with the body. Put a Picture of Jesus in your mind is the most important thing.

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

Your verse above did not include that

.

For tattoos it is specifically mentioned

Leviticus 19:28, which says: “You must not put tattoo marking upon yourselves.”

For dreadlocks none. However it is linked to Rastafarianism, which is a spiritual, cultural, and political movement that emerged in Jamaica during the 1930s. It blends elements of Protestant Christianity, mysticism, pan-Africanism, and resistance to colonialism and oppression

Errrm...... Jesus was born in the middle east, Jesus was a decendant of Aramaic Abraham, Jesus was a decendant of David.

Jesus was a Jew with the skin of Jews. All this trying to make Jesus black is weird. Only race want a black Jesus ists. Next thing we know they will say Jesus was a Woman.......
