Before You Get That TATTOO by ODUBEZE: 7:31am On Oct 25, 2015 |
I am not trying to condemn anyone who already has a tattoo; but rather to warn those who are considering getting one. God loves us, and even when we make mistakes in poor judgment, He doesn’t condemn us, but rather tries to help overcome the consequences of those mistakes. They do not realize that partaking of these can open the door to wrong and defiling influences in their lives. God loves the person who has tattoos just as He loves all of us. However, He would rather we did not deface our bodies in any fashion. Leviticus 19:28: “Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the Lord.” 1Corinthians 6:19: “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.” 1 Corinthians 3:16: “Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is sacred, and you are that temple.” If you love me, you will obey what I command. John 14:15 We are to become like our Lord so that we reflect Him in this earth. Overcomers will put away anything that leads to bigger compromises. May God bless His words in our heart. Amen. |

Honestly I still can't figure out the moral benefit of tattoo. If you choose to compare ur life with western world, remember that Africans culture differs from theirs. 1 Like |

I agree tattoo is not morally good but that doesn't makes it a sin. Scripture quoted is irrelevant and unrelated to the topic discussed 2 Likes |

managermahmud: If you are going to talk about the "African culture" before the advent of globalization which reformed the indigenous tattoos, African tribes/cultural groups have been tattooing their bodies with beautiful markings 2 Likes |

things i know about tattoos is that it attracts jinns and evil spirit to people. But oups what tribal marks,eg like the ones used by the ijebus,igala,kanuri,angas,ba-sokoto etc. |

managermahmud:Mumu! Are tattoos not design too? Moreover d henna designs are more like make up than tattoo. Our african traditions draw tattoo. Ondo people in western nigeria tattoo markings and their names on their body especially the women. |
Re: Before You Get That TATTOO by mebad(m): 11:12am On Oct 25, 2015 |
managermahmud: Wasn't talking about the henna design but if I was it can also be referred to as tattoo,because a tattoo can also be a design.. |

ODUBEZE: Any bible verses on how to cure cancer? |
Re: Before You Get That TATTOO by Nobody: 10:19am On Oct 26, 2015 |
ifeness:With due respect man!! The bible isn't a book on science or medicine |
Re: Before You Get That TATTOO by Nobody: 10:27am On Oct 26, 2015 |
Kreysik: Since the OP used it to condemn tattoos,I supposed he would use it to cure Cancer since the book happens to be his guide. People get tattoos for different reasons and it is their choice what they do with their bodies. I have seen lot of weird questions asked by Christians on nairaland like; Is it a sin to wear my husband's T shirt? |
Re: Before You Get That TATTOO by Nobody: 12:14pm On Oct 26, 2015 |
ifeness:Lol..but the bible already gave a cure which is "prevention" which cure is better than prevention 1 Like 1 Share |
