GOD HIMSELF HAS TATTOO - PASTOR KINGSLEY OKONKWO REVEALS


Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo has sparked widespread debate online following remarks made during a recent live broadcast, where he argued that tattoos are supported by biblical scripture.

During the live session, the pastor referenced Isaiah 49:16, interpreting the verse as evidence that God symbolically bears tattoos. He stated that God has “indelibly imprinted” His people on the palms of His hands, which he described as a form of divine tattoo.

“God himself has tattooed you. Christ himself has tattooed you,” Pastor Okonkwo said, insisting that the passage supports the idea that tattoos are not forbidden for believers.

He dismissed arguments commonly drawn from the Book of Leviticus, describing them as misapplied, and stressed that he would not teach anything he does not fully understand, citing his age and long-standing Christian faith.

The pastor also referenced the Book of Revelation, claiming it suggests that Jesus bears inscriptions, and urged believers not to conceal their beliefs out of fear of public opinion.

The comments have since generated mixed reactions across social media, with some Christians supporting his interpretation and others criticizing it, reigniting long-standing discussions about tattoos and doctrine within the church.

This decision upholds Morocco's appeal following the chaotic events in the match.

Image
Justice Mohammed Umar of the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday threatened to commit the lead defence lawyer to politician and online publisher, Omoyele Sowore, Marshall Abubakar, for contempt over rudeness in court. For raising his voice in court, the judge ordered Sowore’s lawyer to “come out and kneel down” in open court. Other lawyers, however, quickly prevailed upon the judge to forgive their errant colleague.

The lawyer drew the ire of the judge when he raised his voice while making submissions in court. The lawyer further raised his voice and insisted that the date chosen by the court for the defence to open its case was not convenient for him. Trouble started when, shortly after Abubakar struggled to conclude cross examining the onl...
