“Every customer is a walking advert” so says Tribal
body art.
While there is a defense for every issue, the
defense for tribal markings and piercing is inspiring.
Most of it centers around the old justification,
“Everybody is doing it.”
I think there must be a better way to deal with the
feeling of inferiority than to dye your skin and punch holes in your body.
Without much argument this practice has its roots
in heathenism from around the globe.
In their quest to out do all others,
people have left what they called a fashion statement, and have gone to the
extreme to the point of disfigurement.
Many members of the church have been swept up by
this particular craze and have tried to baptize this heathen practice in Jesus
name and call it holy.
Some go as far as to do the cross tattoo thing.
There are implied sexual overtones in much of this
disfigurement, a kind of external body language for all to see.
Some might say; the Bible doesn’t say “Thou shalt
not tattoo” but it does say to avoid heathen practices, and not to mark thy
self.
Do you suppose that Jesus had his hands and feet
pierced as a fashion statement? Do you
think he had a fish tattoo on his chest?
If you think that Christians should have tattoo and
body piercing then they should also insist that the Lord should include them in
their resurrected body, in fact they should be resolute on demanding it.
Do to the fact that many in the ministry are caught
up in this heathenish practice then you probably won’t expect much preaching
against it.
Though I may have many shortcomings in my life I do
not see any answers for me as a Christian in the tattoo/piercing parlor.
