11 Apr Can a Christian Get a Tattoo?
You asked, Pastor Mark answered. Over the last several months, we’ve been answering the questions sent in from our readers of the Weekly Newsletter. These questions include:
- Would the husband be bound to a sexless marriage with no hope for children?
- Why didn’t Jesus upfront say that he is God?
- What happens to people who have never heard about Jesus?
- How can I encourage a friend who is a sexual assault victim?
- I’m a Christian. Is it OK to marry my non-Christian boyfriend?
- What should the Baptist son say to his Catholic family?
In this week’s update, Pastor Mark addresses the topic of Christians and tattoos? About 20% of people have tattoos – what happens if I had a tattoo before becoming a Christian? Is that OK? What does the Bible have to say about tattoos?
Check out the video, and send in your questions to [email protected]. Or if you have friends who have questions, encourage them to subscribe to the newsletter and send in their questions.
