You know this as well as anyone of the rest of us do.

I don't think I will dignify this foolishness by continuing to hash out such a ridiculous idea with you.

ALL SIN DISFIGURES .... EXCESSIVELY.

There are some choices we make in life that have consequences.

The girl who has a child out of wedlock doesn't get out of having to raise it just because she prays through.

Sin carries both an eternal and temporal price tag.

The etrnal price of every sin is the same; the temporal price sometimes varies.

This man is too big a distraction and should not be allowed in platform ministry.

I daresay even most denominational people would understand that.

I agree with Felicity.

And you are wasting your time trying to lay a guilt trip on me for my opinion.

There is good make up these days that would cover the colors up.

Being born with something is a different thing than something you chose to do.

THEN ... being disfigured so excessively and being a major distraction has little do w/ your position?

This is a disfigurement that was done by choice.

It is not only a huge distraction, but it reflects a subculture that I do not want set up us an example to young people.

The distraction factor is one impediment to this man being on the platform, and the poor example that could possibly negatively impact impressionable young people is another.

Cannot the oppposite be said ... he can be a powerful witness of the power of God unto salvation... to a group WE ARE NOT REACHING ...

His anointing and testimony could potentially do more than seeing another clone in a suit.

Young people are smarter than we think ....

Then let him be the greatest soulwinner in the country.

But he isn't going to be on my platform.

Of course he can be saved.

But he has disqualified himself from certain positions of leadership.

That's not callous; that is just good sense.

Paint it anyway you like.

You are all wet on this and you know it.

Last time I checked, no tatoos wasn't one of the qualifications listed in the Bible for a minister. This is just one more example of people adding to the Bible to suit themselves.

Rico, whatever.

It isn't that a person with a tattoo can't minister.

This is excessive beyond the norm.
