Marks

You Cannot Forge "Those of Christ""

Many people want to know if getting a tattoo is a sin, but explaining what the Scriptures say about our bodies, our desires, and our vanities—particularly regarding marks of supposed exclusivity—is a difficult task in the face of this lazy generation. We are dealing with individuals manipulated into believing that 'everything is possible for them,' ignoring the Creator's sovereignty over His creation.

Aesthetic Proselytism

Can you imagine a drunkard who happens to start attending church and, from within, includes in his conversations the discourse that alcohol is not a sin as long as one doesn't get drunk? Worse than that: he occasionally takes the opportunity to praise the quality of certain brands, describe flavors, and induce others to "moderate appreciation"?

Or a prostitute who, claiming extreme professionalism, enters ladies' meetings to charitably teach them how to "spice up" relationships and, as proof of authority, recounts details of the orgies she participated in?

This sounds absurd and repulsive, but today we are faced with a practice whose nature is equally questionable, yet whose practitioners have gained full access to Christian communities. Intertwined with the gospel, they practice proselytism through utterly unnecessary behavior.

Indeed, while alive, there is forgiveness for all condemnable practices. An alcoholic who converts and fights against addiction does not entice his brothers to drink with him. A repentant prostitute doesn't even mention her past practices with pride. But the tattooed… they intertwine theology with "original art" and "incredible designs." They induce those without markings to undergo "discreet" interventions and, among those who already have them, encourage the transformation of their bodies into veritable walls of a public university!

The facade of a public building or college is covered in markings, graffiti, and the phrase "The government is the vandal," serving as a metaphor for excessive tattooing as a desecration of the body.
Transforming the Sanctuary of the Holy Spirit into a "public university wall".

Filled with a spirit of pure rebellion, they always claim that there is a "backward interpretation" of the Scriptures regarding tattoos. However, what I am trying to expose here is the seriousness of the signs of slavery to which they are submitting themselves. Such marks are by no means signs of submission to the Lord God, but to masters who are, at the very least, futile or, worse than that, openly demonic.

The Showcase of Syncretism: Mysticism and Abject Symbols

To illustrate how this proselytism manifests itself in practice — camouflaged by a false spirituality and a bouquet of profane doctrines — I recall an encounter, more than a decade ago, with a young singer from a “gospel reggae” band who, accompanied by his girlfriend, spoke of a sincere desire to seek God, but, in the course of the conversation, ended up revealing himself to be deeply influenced by sources foreign to faith: yoga, university socialism, and G12 (a grotesque version of multi-level marketing disguised as Christianity).

I was sent there with love, warned about the attitude I would encounter: it wasn't the time for heated debates in a diner, but I heard gems like: "Doesn't the Bible say we are little gods?" or "I pick a flower from each garden to make my bouquet.".
This last phrase served as a pretext for syncretism with secular doctrines, distorting the saying "examine everything and retain what is good".

What stood out, however, were the young man's arms: completely covered in tattoos with obscene symbols of occultism and esotericism. He believed he was being original, possessing a sense of exclusivity inherent in human arrogance, thinking that, because of his supposed "pioneering role in freedom,", He could not even be judged..

That day, I preferred to "let it go": I didn't go there to be forceful and left them thinking they were opening my eyes to the "wonders" they had discovered and were practicing.
If God wants to touch someone's heart, it must be through the action of the Holy Spirit through the exposition of the truth contained in the Scriptures, not through a heated discussion in a diner!

I do not intend here to simply repeat what other authors have already said: I will present arguments that unite biblical exegesis with biological reality.
If you are a truly Christian young person who has or is thinking about getting a body modification, I recommend that you seriously consider what follows.

My Body… What Rules?

Because of that encounter, I began researching the development of the interaction between God and humanity throughout history.

Before proceeding, it is essential that you take the time to understand what is, in fact, the one and only truth. Place of Worship Nowadays.
Without this foundation, you will attempt to apply human concepts to God's private property. If you haven't read this study yet, do so now and only return after understanding that, in the New Testament, the scenario changed: the building gave way to the organism.

The Tenant and the Architect

The following passage is not a poetic suggestion; it is a definition of possession that can only be obeyed by genuine Christians:

Or do you not yet understand that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit?,
that dwells within you,
which you have from God,
and that you do not belong to yourselves?
(1ˢᵗ Corinthians 6:19 – KJA)

This verse is the "watershed" that turns the secular rhetoric of "my body, my rules"—often used as a pretext for sacrifices—upside down. Moloch Performed by feminists or driven by aesthetic vanity — incompatible with biblical Christianity.
If the body is the sanctuary, then the rules for its modification belong to the Lord.

Just as God gave meticulous technical specifications for the Tabernacle and Solomon's Temple, demanding unrestricted obedience to the revealed model, He maintains sovereignty over His current dwelling place: you. Attempting to "improve" or "personalize" the Temple with a tattoo or piercing without an order from the Owner is an act of rebellion.

Detailed diagram of the Tabernacle of Moses showing the divisions of the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place, illustrating God's technical specifications for His dwelling place.
The Creator demands obedience to the revealed model; with His current Temple, it would be no different.

Unforgivable? God's Sovereignty over Life and Blood

Many talk about "autonomy" without ever having felt the weight of an IMBEL .45 on their hip or the responsibility of watching over soldiers armed with rifles in a chaotic scenario: I was retired from the Air Force after years of extreme psychological pressure as an air traffic controller, especially after the national trauma of the accident with the GOL 1907.
I developed considerable hoplophobia After my brother's death and the imposition of armed service, which violated my convictions, depression and panic became my jailers.

During that dark period, I seriously considered ending my own life, and if I didn't, it was because God didn't allow it.
The cure for my depression didn't come through pills or self-help, but from a visceral understanding that... My life is not my own..

Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?
If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him;
For God's temple is sacred, and you are that temple.
(1ˢᵗ Corinthians 3:16-17 – KJA)

When you understand that it is purchased property, absolute love and respect for the Owner prevent you from destroying or desecrating what belongs to Him.
This is where sin becomes visible: whether in suicide or in the voluntary marking of the body through a tattoo, In this context, a man attempts to destroy or alter property that simply does not belong to him.

Therefore I tell you:
Every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men;
But blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.
And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven;
But whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.,
Neither in this century nor in the future.
(Matthew 12:31-32 – ACF)

Could destroying the temple of the Holy Spirit be considered blasphemy?

Now, if merely uttering insulting words against the Holy Spirit already constitutes the only unforgivable sin that appears in the Scriptures, the BLASPHEMOUS ACT of extinguishing the life of one's body—which, as we have seen, was never truly one's own!—also guarantees the definitive condemnation of anyone, regardless of what the Pharisees may say in an attempt to comfort the family of someone who has committed suicide.

These same revolutionary "know-it-alls" don't realize that, by speaking this way, they end up becoming tools of Satan, authorizing any suicidal person in the audience to also end their own life, confident that the renowned "pastor so-and-so" has discovered that the words of the Lord Jesus Christ are not... axioms They shouldn't be treated literally either…

Marks of Abomination or of Ownership?

Do you know what characterized the desecration of the original Temple of Solomon in Israel?
Paintings and idols on the walls:

And the Eternal continued, saying to me:
“"Son of man, do you see what the people are doing?"
The great abominations that the nation of Israel practices here,
Evil attitudes that will drive me away from my beloved and holy place?
But that's not enough, you'll see even worse things happen!”
(…)
He also told me:
“"Go in and see with your own eyes the detestable and wicked deeds that these people have been doing here!"”
So I went in and looked.
And I saw all kinds of creeping creatures and unclean animals.
and all the idol images that the Israelites were worshiping!
And many of these idols were painted as figures on the walls everywhere.
(Ezekiel 8:6; 9-10 – KJA)

What leads you to believe that the same type of action would please God today?

The Distraction of Disagreement

We are in the age of Grace, but many continue to cite the following passage because it is the only direct Old Testament reference on the subject:

You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead;
nor shall you make any marks on yourselves.
I am the LORD.
(Leviticus 19:28 – ACF)

I explored this perspective in May 2005, when I only had the Almeida Corrigida e Fiel (ACF) version available to me and had to deal with a sarcastic reader: he not only defended the many marks he had on his body, but acted as an enthusiastic proselyte of the tattoo among young Christians.
Instead of showing the text the respect it deserved, he lumped everything together into one "crazy mess" to justify his practice:

Have you ever seen someone strike blows for the dead, or leave marks?
Yes, in Candomblé, the markings are made by the guides, supposed spirits. They make markings of points, arrows, bows, strange letters... drawing Exu-Caveira, or Lilith (as I know several) is one thing, but having the sacred markings of Candomblé on your shoulders, head, legs (those scars that look like little lines) is one thing, and then yes, you are in sin.
But piercings, tattoos, no… a tattoo, often beautiful, doesn't always have an esoteric or religious meaning.

Indeed, if there were only that sentence, his argument would be irrefutable, but… although the direct reading is confusing, and may even suggest some archaic practice for sanitary reasons, attention to the Portuguese language may be revealing the rigor of the precept through a “semicolon”.

According to Aurélio, in agreement with Houaiss, the "semicolon" serves to "indicate a pause stronger than that of a comma and less than that of a period," indicating a change of topics, a continuation of the text, but with another item—separating two distinct sentences:

  1. The prohibition of cutting bones in mourning for the dead;
  2. The absolute and independent order: “"nor shall you make any marks on yourselves"”.

Analyzing from this perspective, we have a commandment that has remained as valid as "thou shalt not kill" or "thou shalt not commit adultery," with no exception for "beautiful" designs or "Christian" symbols.
This order is ratified by the seal of the highest authority: “"I am the LORD"”!
To the servant of the Lord, the order is clear: simply tattoo none.

Ratification by Word

Over the years, I have refined my exegesis, always seeking to understand the same passage through other versions—especially the enlightening King James Version—and I couldn't help but be moved when I read:

You shall not cut your bodies as a sign of mourning for the death of anyone,
You also won't get any tattoos.
I am Yahweh.
(Leviticus 19:28 – KJA)

In other words, to the true servant of the Lord, marks with mystical symbols are abominable, as are those placed under the pretext of any possible beauty: simply NO TATTOO!

The Tattooed Thigh

Another common mistake promoted by lazy ignorance is the distortion of these two passages:

The one who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will never leave it again.;
and I will write on him the name of my God,
and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven,
Oh my God,
and also my new name.
(…)
And on his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
King of kings, and Lord of lords.
(Revelation 3:12 / 19:16 – ACF)

Look at what that same young man said, trying to use them as a pretext for his abominable practices:

“"Hmm, it seems you've laid out something that, even in the light of common sense, will be immutable, but let's go!"
Do you think God cares about your appearance or what's in your heart?


Based on the verses above, the problem will be not getting a tattoo: where will God write all that down?
You'll have to write, for example (attention, example!!!!): Jehovah, New Jerusalem, Emmanuel… and also on the thigh King of kings, Lord of lords!
‘'And behold, every eye will see him, and he will come in glory': He will be physically present, therefore every eye will see him (wildy or not), and he will be tattooed on their thigh!


I sense here the famous (and, in my opinion, atrocious) overzealousness, like long hair, suits, skirts, etc. It's so silly that it's even a source of ridicule in soap operas, with the character Creusa: the problem is the standardization that leads to sameness and stagnation; besides, it's easier to dominate through fear than to lead with love, isn't it?!

See this — Galatians 6:17 — ‘From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.”
If you didn't know this person, and you saw the marks, what would you say?
Please respond with your arguments and not with tired old lines like "everything is permissible for me, but not everything is beneficial"... that's already way too overused!‘

Revelation, being the only book of the Bible whose majority was written in the future, contains many symbols that deserve meticulous study: when it speaks of the right thigh of Jesus Christ, it is not possible to consider it as a direct reference to a supposed tattoo there.

If we search the Bible specifically for the expression "right thigh," we will find several passages— Genesis 24 e 47; Exodus 29:22; Leviticus 7:32 e 9:21 — where we can see that this is a reference from Jewish culture to hierarchical ascendancy, sovereignty, and even virility.
Therefore, we can see that this fact mentioned in Revelation 19:16 This means that Jesus will come as sovereign and not as a servant, a fact reinforced by the use of the robe.

Already Revelation 3:12 It's a clearly figurative passage, meaning there's a great deal of symbolism in the words used... or does the boy believe that someone will be transformed into an architectural column?
If so, this serves to demonstrate the degree of distortion that has been implemented in ecclesiastical organizations and disseminated as "gospel for young people.".

Finally, it seems he tires of feigning sympathy and reveals all his arrogance by showing off his "sensitive powers" with the intention of classing me as one of the Pharisees—who believe in form over content—and ends up playing a completely ridiculous role by revealing the utter ignorance of who he's talking to… did he think he was dealing with some little gospel bumpkin?

Also shocking are the terms he used in reference to Christians who are more concerned about their manner of dress; consider this: he deems such concern "atrocious," "foolish," and goes even further, wanting to call me a "wolf," "retrograde," and finally a "whitewashed tomb"... brothers and sisters, is this an example of young Christians today?!?
From all of this, I could only be certain of one thing: he watched soap operas on Rede Globo…

The Rock of Scripture Against the Hermeneutics of “Novelty”

However, the greatest proof of his ignorance is revealed when he cites Galatians 6:17, The apostle Paul is in no way referring to tattoos or marks he possessed of his own volition, but rather to wounds resulting from the times he was imprisoned, whipped, stoned, and nearly killed for refusing to do the work of Jesus!
That's why it was called — "marks of the Lord Jesus," as it appears in the ACF (Almeida Corrigida Fiel) — and the certainty that this creature deserved a good beating with a guava branch for imagining that Paul provoked — or, even more ridiculously, paid a tattoo artist to make — the "marks of Jesus" on himself…

Finally, he has the audacity to make a vague reference to 1ˢᵗ Corinthians 6:12 And to say that this passage is "too overused" and that he wants "my arguments"!?
Here is a perfect portrait of what these "people who think they are of God" are looking for: novelties!

They want to "break out of the routine," but it seems they forget important parts of the Bible:

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.
(2ⁿᵈ Timothy 3:16 – ACF)
For the word of God is living and active,
and sharper than any double-edged sword,
and penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow,
and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
(Hebrews 4:12 – ACF)
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
(Matthew 24:35 – ACF)
For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not one letter, not one stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.
(Matthew 5:18 – ACF)

Given this, I was forced to admit that I am not being creative or unique at all and — “what a pity” — I often don’t even use my own words, blatantly copying a lot from the Scriptures… and you have no idea how glad I am about that!
Now, leaving aside the grammatical distractions of Leviticus, we need to face the legal reality of what these marks truly mean in the court of the Creator:

The Jurisdiction of the Temple: Marks as Seals of Ownership

It is striking to note that, more than 20 years later, the spirit of distortion remains the same, only the "proof" used has changed.
Now, in 2026, I've seen humorous posts circulating on social media using Ezekiel 16:11-12 — where God says he adorned Jerusalem with bracelets and pendants — as “proof” that piercings and jewelry are approved.

The mistake these modern interpreters make is the same as in 2005: the haste to validate their own ego.
Initially, they ignore that the text of Ezekiel begins with God explaining the abominations of Jerusalem And the most important and fatal legal detail against this "theology of vanity" goes unnoticed: It is God himself who adorns.!

In Old Testament culture, jewelry and piercings (like piercing a slave's ear as an act of love) were ALWAYS signs of ownership.

Because of your rage against me and because your arrogance has reached my ears, I will put my hook in your nose and my bridle in your mouth, and I will force you to return by the way you came.
(Isaiah 37:29 – KJA)

When God adorns His bride, He is sealing His possession over her after washing her from the blood of her tainted origin, but when He puts the hook in Sennacherib's nose and the bridle in his mouth, He is simply humbling the arrogant king.
The truth is that all references to tattoos and body modifications (piercings, earrings) that we can find scattered throughout the Old Testament are indications of possession: while the perception of beauty was intrinsically linked to family belonging (first to the father, then to the husband)... the same items became a source of shame and obligation when they were merely indicative of slavery.

When modern man, on his own initiative, decides to mark his skin with a tattoo, he is not responding to a Covenant; he is attempting to usurp the jurisdiction of the Temple to declare himself his own master: if the only valid ordinances are Baptism and the Lord's Supper—signs of Christ's possession—to whom are the tattooed and body-modifying individuals of our era declaring themselves to belong?

Between Dignity and Profanation: The Frame of the Temple

Why tattoos?
A yearning for "exclusivity"? Vanity? An expectation of beauty?
First and foremost, it is necessary to distinguish between repair and aesthetic rebellion. We cannot confuse restorative procedures—such as the pigmentary recoloring of a breast removed due to cancer or the subtle enhancement of an eyebrow to preserve its natural appearance—with the voluntary modification of the Temple.
While these cases seek to restore dignity or the original form that has been damaged by illness or accidents, what we see in tattoo culture is the antithesis of this: the implantation of generally mystical, shamanic, and spiritualist symbols that distort the Creator's design and serve a purely exhibitionist purpose.

Unlike an accidental or surgically necessary scar, the act of voluntarily exposing oneself to an occasionally painful—the sensation varies from person to person—process through which the skin is injured, leaving scars marked by substances that, in some cases, can even be toxic… is definitely not necessary.

Beard, Hair and Mustache

It is necessary to disarm the false argument that "everything is modification"“Getting a haircut, trimming a beard, or choosing an outfit are acts of temporary and external adornment.
They do not alter the biological structure nor invade the dermis with permanent exogenous substances.

A tattoo, on the other hand, is a ontological modificationIt permanently alters the "scripture" of the Temple.
While you take off your clothes at the end of the day before the Lord, a tattoo is an attempt to present yourself to the Owner with a design project that He did not sign, under the pretense that the tenant is now the architect.

The awareness of "Stewardship of the Body" that I mentioned earlier also extends to the biological field.
I'm not just talking about theoretical concepts here, but about a reality that cost me my silence: the accumulation of chemical substances from legitimate and regulated medications—such as the antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications I consumed under orders from the Brazilian Air Force—ended up manifesting itself in my auditory nerve., taking away my hearing.

If medications created to cure can cause such a side effect through bioaccumulation, what can we say about industrial substances injected voluntarily out of pure vanity?

Systemic Invasion: Beyond the Skin

Secular science has never been able to deny that tattoos are not limited to the epidermis. Highly rigorous toxicological studies, such as the one published by the prestigious journal... Scientific Reports (Nature Portfolio), they prove – through synchrotron radiation mapping – that The injected pigment does not remain at the application site..

Medical illustration showing the dispersion of tattoo pigment from the dermis to the lymphatic vessels and its accumulation in lymph nodes.
The body tries to isolate the invasion: industrial pigments constantly traveling through your immune system.

It is estimated that a large portion of the ink (in many cases between 60% and 90%) leaves the dermis., traveling via the lymphatic system in the form of nanoparticles and permanently lodged in the lymph nodes.
There, the body tries, in vain, to isolate this chemical invasion, transforming its immune defense centers into chronic repositories of metals and foreign substances.

  • Lymph nodes: which literally become stained with the ink colors, losing its full capacity for immune filtering.
  • Vital Organs: Deposits of pigments have been found in the livers, spleens, and lungs of tattooed individuals.

The Heavy Metals Cocktail

The "art" that many flaunt carries with it a list of undeniable and dangerous chemical components. Tattoo inks often contain heavy metals such as Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg), Cadmium (Cd), Nickel (Ni) and Cobalt (Co).

  • These metals are scientifically recognized as neurotoxic and carcinogenic.
  • Due to their non-biodegradable nature, they perform the bioaccumulationThe body is unable to fully metabolize or excrete them, resulting in a gradual and toxic accumulation in deep tissues.

Backdoor

My analytical suspicion Based on the affinity of these metals for the nervous system and my own experience with chemical deafness, it is believed that this "deposit" can reach critical areas such as the hypothalamus.
In a body that functions through electrical impulses, introducing conductive metals is the same as allowing the installation of foreign wiring with the potential to react with electromagnetism.

Could this "trend" of tattoos be a biological preparation for a future external activation?
I should note here that, with regard to the various possibilities ownership models, The fact that an individual is willing, for a frivolous reason, to undergo legitimate and extensive torture sessions using chemical substances to alter the pigmentation of areas—small or large—of the body… can also be a type of backdoor for access and remote control from the machine called human body.

The Blood Test

If a tattoo were merely a "drawing on the skin," why would the healthcare system prohibit a tattooed person from donating blood for months?

The answer is simple and technical: the body treats the tattoo as a systemic intrusion.
Blood is considered "unsuitable" temporarily because it is dealing with contaminants and potential inflammatory reactions circulating throughout the body.
The medical restriction confirms that, in the eyes of science, a tattooed person is someone whose biological purity has been compromised.

The Final Step: The "Secret Tattoo"“

It is timely to republish this content, in the midst of the 2021 pandemic, because the world is being manipulated so that, under the pretext of "security," a solution is implemented that directly conflicts with the principles presented in the previous topic. See:

Bill Gates Foundation creates "secret tattoo" that reveals if you've been vaccinated.
Technical diagram in three phases demonstrating the application of an invisible quantum dot tattoo using a micro-needle adhesive for recording medical data on the skin.
The concept of the "secret tattoo": micro-needles insert semiconductor crystals that function as permanent biosensors in the dermis.
Have you ever thought about how much easier it would be to have a single health record with all your medical data, from your first vaccination at the maternity ward to the yellow fever vaccine, including all surgeries and allergies?

This reality primarily affects underdeveloped or developing countries, where few places have internet access and the most common method for recording vaccinations is to write this information down on a paper card, which will most likely get lost.

Therefore, keeping track of who received which vaccination and when can be a difficult task. In fact, it's practically impossible. With this in mind, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and researchers at MIT may have found a solution: they created a safe ink that can be applied to the skin alongside the vaccine itself. Furthermore, it is only visible when using a specially developed smartphone app that emits light, revealing the mark.

In other words, they found a "secret" way to incorporate the record of a vaccination directly into the patient's skin, instead of recording it electronically or on paper.
The project for "secret tattoos" that accompany vaccines arose from a direct request from Microsoft founder Bill Gates himself, who has been involved for years in efforts to eradicate diseases such as polio and measles.

According to an article published in the journal Science Translational Medicine, the "secret" mark is made from a type of adhesive patch with tiny dots—small semiconductor crystals that reflect light—that glow under infrared light. At the time of vaccination, both the mark and the vaccine are released onto the skin using these micro-needles.
“It’s possible that one day this ‘invisible’ approach could create new possibilities for data storage applications, biosensors, and vaccines that could improve how medical care is delivered, especially in developing countries,” explains MIT professor and senior author Robert Langer.

In a far more discreet manner than those chosen by the creatures illustrating the opening image, these invisible marks may have well-intentioned motives, but they are nothing more than a step forward in preparing humanity for the... receipt of the final mark:

She forced everyone,
small and large, rich and poor, free and enslaved.
to accept a certain brand mark on their right hand or forehead,
so that no one could buy or sell,
unless it displayed that mark,
What is the name of the Beast, or the number of its name?.
(Revelation 13:16-17 – KJV)

The False Missionary Alibi: "Becoming" is not the same as "Becoming"“

If the evidence of biological intrusion and the technological preparation for ultimate control are not enough to awaken fear, there remains the last bastion of vanity disguised as piety: the missionary argument.
Many cite the passage of 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 Using the pretext of "great love" to reach different people, they claim they need to make a mark in order to be accepted.
There's nothing better than reading the entire passage before proceeding:

For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them.
And I became as a Jew to the Jews, in order to win Jews;
to those under the law, as if I were under the law, to win those under the law.
To those without the law I became as one without the law (not being without law toward God, but under the law of Christ), so as to win those without the law.
I have become as weak to the weak, in order to win over the weak.
I have become all things to all people, so that by all means I might save some.
And I do this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.
(1 Corinthians 9:19-23 – ACF)

Anyone with even a basic level of literacy can understand that “"to pretend to be something"” is far from, really, to become That thing!
Imagine Christian women having to prostitute themselves in order to evangelize prostitutes?
Or are servants of the Lord practicing cannibalism to convert cannibals?
Would you use drugs to reach addicts or engage in obscenities to reach depraved individuals?

Similarly, once the inherent symbolism of slavery is understood, the justification of "getting tattooed to evangelize tattooed people" does not hold up.
Paul never became a sinner in order to win sinners; he made himself accessible without ever compromising the Law of Christ in his own body.

Conclusion: From Original Project to Final Brand

Stripped of any "technical" or "evangelistic" pretext, what remains is the original project that modern man desperately tries to edit.

Finally, I am old and bear scars all over my body, which, on so many occasions and in missions that many cannot even imagine, has been spared from death. But in my home there are no tattoos, and I have no intention whatsoever, regardless of the pretext or social pressure, of accepting any marks that may be imposed upon me.

Many people ask me to address the issue of transhumanism, But if even tattoos are not recommended—since they profane the aesthetics of the Temple—how much less so the undertaking of grotesque or technological bodily modifications aimed at "improving" the Creator's work!
Here is the original project that modern man desperately tries to edit:

And God said:
Let us make man in our image, after our likeness;
and have dominion over the fish of the sea,
and about the birds of the air,
and about the cattle,
and over all the earth,
and upon every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.
So God created man in his own image;
He created him in the image of God;
He created them male and female.
(Genesis 1:26-27 – ACF)

Below, I transcribe the exact revelation of the point of degeneration where we find ourselves. It is the biblical diagnosis for a generation that has exchanged the Creator for the creature and clean skin for the stain of vanity:

And proclaiming themselves to be wise,
They've completely lost their common sense.
and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
For this reason, God gave them over to sexual impurity, according to the sinful desires of their hearts.,
for the degradation of their own bodies among themselves.
For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie,
and they worshiped created objects and beings,
instead of the Creator, who is blessed forever.
Amen!
(Romans 1:22-25 – KJA)

While even self-proclaimed Christians are rushing to mark themselves and encourage others to do the same (which is why I consider the "backdoor" possibility mentioned earlier plausible), this madman writing to you calls upon genuine Christians—especially those reading this in case the pre-tribulationists were right and I am no longer around—to resist until the final moment, when there will be an obligation to give up one's life rather than deny faith in Christ:

Here is the perseverance of the saints,
of those who obey God's commandments and remain faithful to Jesus.
Then I heard a loud voice from heaven saying:
“"Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.".
Yes, says the Spirit, so that they may rest from their struggles and labors,
For their deeds follow them!”
(…)
I looked and saw some thrones, and those who sat on them were given authority to judge.;
And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God.,
those who did not worship the Beast or its image,
and they did not receive the mark on their foreheads or on their hands.
They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
(Revelation 14:12-13 / 20:4 – KJA)
