Pastor Chris Okotie Says Tattooing, Plastic Surgery Not Sin Before God

Pastor-Chris-Okotie

Reports say former presidential aspirant, Pastor Chris Okotie at a service held yesterday, Sunday January 13th at his church auditorium, Household of God Church said that tattooing their body or even undergoing plastic surgery is not a sin before God.

According to reports, the pastor said a lot of people misinterpret a scripture in the bible which is supposedly against body art and enhancement. He said getting tattoos and plastic surgery is an individual decision and has nothing to do with God.

A lot of people however disagree with the pastor’s position on tattoos and plastic surgery, his church members inclusive; more reason why a regular Sunday sermon has become a talking point today.

It is not unusual for people and even church members to disagree with their pastor’s views. We understand differently, but Pastor Okotie’s antecedents have brought up not-so-good comments following a sermon, one of the many he gives every year.

  1. I AM NOT SURE IF HE UNDERSTANDS HIS BIBLE VERY WELL.CHRIS OKOTIE SHOULD GO BACK TO CIRCULAR MUSIC AND LEAVE THE PULPIT FOR THOSE GOD HAS CALLED,HE LIES TOO MUCH AND DOES NOT EXHIBIT GODLINESS IN ALL HIS DOINGS.BIBLE SAYS HE THAT THINKETH HE STANDS SHOULD TAKE HEED LEST HE FALLS.FOR ME CHRIS OKOTIE HAS BACKSLIDED FOR A LONG TIME,HE NEEDS TO REPENT FROM HIS SINS AND SEEK FOR GOD’S GRACE.

    • Actually this is not strange its a wake up call to all christians to watch and pray and act like the barian christians in the bible who went to check their bible after they received the sermon to be sure they are not listening to eresis or false doctrine. The bible also admonished us that even some will move out of the faith, their heart would be hardened and God will give them over to a reprobate mind because they refuse to come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 John 2:15 says we as christians we should love not the world neither the things that are in the world, if any man love the world the love of the Father is not in him all that are in the world are the lost of the flesh, lost of the eyes and the pride of life, is not of the father but is of the world. If Pastor Chris is saying tattooing not sin before God i think he has lost his salvation, he should retrace his steps and go for repentance.

  2. Anyway,U̶̲̥̅̊ guys ave said it all….A̶̲̥̅♏ •̸№†̥ suprise †̥hα̲̅†̥ a pastor says †̥hα̲̅†̥ kind O̶̷̩̥̊͡ƒ a thing in which every good standing christian knows †̥hα̲̅†̥ it is wrong.but all was to fulfil what †ђξ word O̶̷̩̥̊͡ƒ God says †̥hα̲̅†̥”many will come to γ̲̣̣̥☺ΰ with my name but verily ℓ̊ said unto ℓ̊ know them •̸№†̥.BE CAREFUL

  3. if this yeye pastor is trying to make celebrity with tattoes his members he should say so and not say words contradictory to what d bible teaches. like somebody said,”he should go back to circular music and leave d pulpit for those God have called”.
    he thinks he knows the bible cos he speaks big grammer to confuse his followers when actually he knows nothing. afterall he just proved it by what he said.
    wolf in sheep clothing.

  4. Am totally dissapointed in this yeye pastor, i wonder how the minister of god will be saying all this, this show that the second coming of jesus christ is near,never listen to what the pastor is saying….And i pray for u this not called pastor that should repent

  5. It reali has nothing 2do wit God. God is not looking for pple wit tatoo for cleansing… He is looking for pple whose minds r as dirty as d tatoo 2 change. Lets nt judge pple by tatoo, judge by d content of the heart. Jesus said, “it is nt wat enters a man that defiles him, it is wat comes out of him” mark 7.18-22. God said to peter, rise kill and eat. I beg us 2 read d scriptures wit d Spirit. TATOO cannot make any man go 2 Hell, it is HIS HEART’S DISPOSITION OR THOUGHT OR PURPOSE FOR THE TATOO OR WHEN TAKING THE MARK that wil judge him. Ask any1 with tatoo to give you a Godly reason 4 it, if he can’t, may God judge it. So God searches the totz of man’s heart, even his intents for all his actions… Undstnd wat He is saying. God is nt giving us Laws… He wants worshiperz in Spirit and Truth [SINCERITY]

  6. I believe if this is what he said then he has a point ‘He said getting tattoos and plastic surgery is an individual decision and has nothing to do with God’. But i know that God it in Lev,or maybe he is simply saying that having a tatoo does not come from God because i know that there is a spirit of tatoo in that whenever some1 has it he/she exposes it.It is not from God.

  7. This is a question many Christians struggle with. I believe tattooing falls into the category of “disputable matters” where the Bible is not clear. But wait a minute, you might be thinking. The Bible says in Leviticus 19:28, “Do not cut your bodies for the dead, and do not mark your skin with tattoos. I am the Lord.”

  8. From all intent and purpose, no true man of God, who is spirit filled should say wt pastor okotie said. But wait a minute, does it mean if i tattooed all my body and now i have repented from all my sins, and now i live a godly life even though i have tattoos all over my bodies cos they are indelible – does it mean i will still go to hell? Oh no! Such tattoo can’t make anyone go to hell cos it was done in the time of ignorance. But there is no genuine, bornagain, spirit filled child of God that will go for body tattoos and plastic surgery! He or she can’t!

    But there is one evil now, and that is misinformation! Maybe what the pastor said was different from what is being reported on the pages of newspaper, who knows. Anybody could have misheard and misinterpreted what he said! It happens like that.

    But really, if pastor Chris Okotie actually said it that Christians can tattoo and carry out plastic surgery on their bodies as against Leveticus 19 : 28, then, he must have long backslided. Or maybe wasn’t ever bornagain at all!

  9. This guy that call himself a Pastor does not know the bible very well. Let me call you Chris Okotie you should read Leviticus 19:28. Remember if you miss-lead the children of God to do the wrong thing, God will punish you for it. Tattoos, Plastic Surgery are sins.
