Kingsley Okonkwo, a cleric from Lagos, responded to criticism of his tattoo from other ministers, saying he was offended by what he called “junior pastors'” disapproval.
The pastor claimed in a recent sermon that he was embarrassed by clergymen who, in his opinion, lacked the spiritual authority to challenge his personal decisions.
He maintained that instead of categorically condemning tattoos as immoral, the critics discussed whether it was proper for a pastor to show off his body art.
In addition to stressing that spiritual leadership is hierarchical, Okonkwo claimed that religious dogmatism, not doctrinal clarity, was partly to blame for the backlash.
Read what he said below;
“Interestingly, it is only one or two ministers from the videos I saw about my tattoo issue that were grounded and sound enough to understand it, Most of them are the religious people. Every interpretation they gave, they couldn’t say tattoo is a sin.
Even if you are a basic Christian, you know tattoo is not a sin, What I noticed about those pastors is that they said ‘Oh, Tattoo is not a sin and then they used the popular scripture ’is it expedient? why did you post it?’
Stupid talk! and I am insulted because there is ranking in the spirit. My junior can’t talk when I am talking. There is ranking in the spirit”
