“Why don’t pastors just stick to preaching Christ and Him crucified?”
AMEN!
Agreed that this appears to be a gimmick. The idea of asking a congregation to permanently Mark themselves during lent is not something that as a pastor myself,i would ever consider doing! Although… The concept of suffering and our lack of grasp on the suffering of Christ do present us with some interesting and challenging theological questions. Food for thought!
Jesus said if I be lifted up I will Draw ALL men unto me, God strictly forbids Tatoos in Leviticus and he made no exception to anything when he said DO NOT. The Bible says you will believe a lie and be Damned, It warns about False Prophets. this is a good example of those warnings.
Tattoos are a sin as outlined in the Torah.
Iam not going to go into areas of Christian liberty. But no where in the New Testament do we see tattoos being banned or categorized as sinful. In fact we see in the book of Revelations Jesus is depcted with an inscription on his thigh: On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. Rev 19:16
OT forbade several things and more sepecially their associations with pagan worship. However if your tattoo causes others to stumble then it could be a sin; or if your conscience doesnt allow you to have one then it can be a sin. Do not use your christian liberty to enslave others or to cause them to sin. (Same to cigarettes etc) I for one do not condone tattoos because in our day and age they are associated with civil and social rebellion among other things.
No where in the New Testament does it say Thou Shalt not kill either, but the Bible does Teach us that God never changes and there is no place in the New Testament where it says it is ok.
Well Jesus said, if you are angry at your brother then you are guilty of murder in your heart (in reference to the sixth commandment).

While the Bible has nothing good to say about tattoos, there are certainly
indications in it that permanently marking one’s body is a bad idea for a Christian. I would not want to get one; I would not want my son or anyone I know to get one. None of us are perfect – we all make mistakes, we all have need of God’s forgiveness for our sins. There are certainly worse things that we can do, that people do all the time, that are far more serious than getting a tattoo – and far less obvious to the eye.
Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.
(Leviticus 19:28 KJV)

The only people who argue about tattos being forbiden by God are those that have them.
