Renowned Christian evangelist, conference speaker and author, Joyce Meyer has stirred controversy over her desire to get a tattoo.
She noted that she is considering making the move in order to “ push all the religious people off the cliff”.
She made this known during a recent conference.
According to her: “Holiness is not legalism. Whatever people used to think holiness was, it just became a mess and a nightmare and really turning a lot of people off,” Meyer said.
“Holiness became not smoking, not cursing, not wearing pretty clothes, not partying, no jewelry, not having a nice hairstyle — and God forbid you have a tattoo or you are a man with an earring in your ear.
“That will just put the religious people on the edge.
“The Bible says in Isaiah 49 that God has a picture of you tattooed on the palm of His hand.
“I’m right on the verge of going and getting a tattoo. I thought I might as well just push all the religious people right off the cliff and just get it over with.
“I belong to the Lord. Why would I do that (get a tattoo)? Just to make religious demons mad, no other reason cos I live in so much bondage from legalism.”
Meyer further said at the end of the day, it’s the motive for getting it done that matters.
“Here’s the bottom line, it’s all about your motives and how you are doing things. We can’t look at the outside of somebody and decide for ourselves that they’re an evil person … That’s why so many people today don’t want anything to do with the church ’cause all they get is criticism and judgment”.
