Millenia: It is Like a phlegm to see Christians Tattoo their Bodies, Mostly some Young girls and others who are in church choirs and who attend churches have tattoo on various places of their Bodies. What of those innocent kids that were given tribal tattoos on their cheeks(like my ibadan brothers), what would happen to them? |

I hate it when Christians make it seem as if some laws of the old testament are still legal while others are not. @op, following the old testament do you know that it is a sin to eat a strangled animal? There are so many laws in the old testament that do not follow today, does it mean that a person that has been tattoed and now gets born again won't make heaven? 1 Like |

Leviticus 21:5-6 (KJV) 5"They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh." How does that mean Tattooing? Why should the phrase "cutting your skin"be interpreted as tattooing only? What of surgeries and medical incisions? Are they not a form of flesh cutting? ![]() ![]() 2 Likes |

Modern Christians are quick to say they are not bound by the scriptures of the Old Testament especially when it kicks against certain evil acts they perpetrate. Same goes for their Prosperity Pastors. But when its time for tithes and offerings, they are quick to open the Book of Malachi. God Punish Una! 3 Likes |

Re: The Bible Forbids Tattoos by MrAboki: 12:31pm On Sep 15, 2013 |
It reeks of sheer hypocrisy to single out the pasage that talks about Tattoos in the old testament book of leviticus and ignore the other rules that the same leviticus talks about in the following passages.. So since we are listing sins and aborminable christian practices, how about we talk about sins like: 0. Homosexuality: “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.” —Leviticus 20:13. 1. Death penalty for using the Lord’s name in vain “He who blasphemes the name of the Lord shall be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him; the sojourner as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.” (Lev. 24:16) 2. Prohibition against eating pork “And the swine, because it parts the hoof and is cloven-footed but does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. Of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch; they are unclean to you.” (Lev. 11:7– ![]() 3. Mandating of animal sacrifices “If anyone sins unwittingly in any of the things which commanded not to be done, and does any one of them, if it is the anointed priest who sins, thus bringing guilt on the people, then let him offer the sin which he has committed a young bull without blemish to the Lord as a sin offering. He shall bring the bull to the door of the tent of meeting before the Lord, and lay his hand on the head of the bull, and kill the bull before the Lord. … And all the fat of the bull of the sin offering he shall take from it, the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails, and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them at the loins, and the appendage of the liver which he shall take away with the kidneys … and the priest shall burn them upon the altar…. (Lev. 4:1–10) [NOTE: The first several chapters of Leviticus are devoted to mandatory animal sacrifices, such as the wringing of turtledoves’ necks, the cutting open of goats and bulls, and the vivisection of female lambs, for various sins.] 4. Death penalty for spiritualists “A man or woman who is a medium or a wizard shall be put to death; they shall be stoned with stones, their blood shall be upon them.” (Lev. 20:27) 5. Human slavery sanctioned “As for your male and female slaves whom you may have: you may buy male and female slaves from among the nations that are round about you. You may also buy from among the strangers who sojourn with you and their families that are with you, who have been born in your land; and they may be your property. You may bequeath them to your sons after you, to inherit as a Possession for ever.” (Lev. 25:44–46) 6. Prohibition against eating fat “It shall be a perpetual statute throughout Your generations, in all your dwelling places, that you eat neither fat nor blood.” (Lev. 3:17) 7. Forbidding of hair and beard trimming “You shall not round off the hair on your temples or mar the edges of your beard.” (Lev. 19:27) 8. Prohibition against eating crab, clams, oysters “Everything in the waters that has fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the rivers, you may eat. But anything in the rivers that has not fins and scales, of the swarming creatures in the waters and of the living creatures that are in the waters, is an abomination to you. They shall remain an abomination to you; of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall have in abomination. Everything in the waters that has not fins and scales is an abomination to you.” (Lev. 11:9–12) 9. Death penalty for adultery “If a man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall be put to death.” (Lev. 20:10) [Leviticus lists four other kinds of adultery for which the death penalty is also mandatory.] 10. The profanity of disabled individuals “For no one who has a blemish shall draw near, a man blind or lame, or who has a mutilated face or a limb too long, or a man who has an injured foot or an injured hand, or a hunchback, or a dwarf, or a man with a defect in his sights or an itching disease or scabs or crushed testicles; no man of the descendants of Aaron the priest who has a blemish shall come near to offer the Lord’s offerings by fire; since he has a blemish, he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God…He shall not come near the veil or approach the altar, because he has a blemish, that he may not profane my sanctuaries…” (Lev. 21:18–23) 11. Other prohibitions “Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.” (Lev. 19:19) Basically, you can't practice mixed farming or wear clothes made with multiple materials. So why are you only focused on Tattoos? 6 Likes |

Read Hebrew 8: 1-13. verse 7: For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. 8: But God found fault with the people and said: "The time... Verse 13: By calling this covenant "new", he has made the first one OBSOLETE and ageing will soon disappear. (NIV) We are not under the law. I don't like tattoo personally, because it doesn't make one looks responsible. Does Obama, Bill Gate, Bush, Goodluck, Adenuga, or Dangote has ɑ tattoo? But that doesn't makes it ɑ sin... The intent of the tattoo or the purpose drawn for is what makes ɑ sin. You can't tell me drawing Cross on my neck is ɑ sin... No, I guess it's not. |
