Why the trending towards tattoos, body mutilation, transvestism, vampirism, polygamy, etc. amongst Christians in the Western world? Pastors who reject Old Testament law have a difficult time arguing against any of these trends. Kevin Swanson, the author of 'Apostate - the Men who Destroyed the Christian West,' explains the trending towards paganism in the once-Christian Western world. We carefully analyze the cultural significance of tattoos, and contrast with biblically-instituted sacraments.

Inconsistent and fallacious. What I think is sad is the inability of these individuals to make basic category distinctions. I mean the equivocations and mixing of categories. Are these individuals theonomists? I in fact hold a position very consistent with theonomy and I think the position this sermon partakes is a complete departure from the reformed methodology. Conjecture, tradition and utter lack of exegesis and meaningful rigorous examination with the topics at hand. I find it very disappointing for church, espessially those in eldership, to take topics such as these so lightly. To jumble up tattooing with the idea of legalism and not taking repentance seriously is just dishonest and misleading. I think they need to re-examine their tradition and consider repenting is the laziness engaged in this discussion

Great Sermon! I also believe this could be a reason we are having too many black, gray, or brown colors on women. They go better with the bluing of tats. Even modern CLOTHING is rather boring, or shows too much skin. so it could be 'a' reason tats are popular. I have talked many teens OUT of tatting themselves as well.

Great Sermon! don't feel like capitalizing..sigh....
they look HORRIBLE on women!! similar to body hair. No one is thinking ahead! This was 'normal' worldwide UNTIL the CHRISTIANS changed it. The pagans stopped tatting. Now Christians? are doing this? I like John Piper, but, hmmm. I'm GLAD my 18 YO daughter don't like them and wont get one. Also, if you like the look, you could get imitation tattoos, or even HENNA which you could CHANGE. Even removal of them leave scars!
Polygamy was a 'given' simply because of the radical feminists want to have men and women as partners. In fact, I believe the persecution of women was also led by...women in the past. I didn't think this at first, but women train their SONS to some degree.
Radical Muslims would not have the power they have now, IF the church wasn't so WEAK!!
