Tattoos: the mark of the Beast ?

The Word of God forbids tattoos and piercing for a reason (Leviticus 19:28).

It’s interesting to note that Jews, Greeks and Romans wouldn’t tattoo while all other pagan nations did (Thracians, Scythians, Dacians, Gauls, Picts, Celts, and Britons), proving Satan destroys civilization. It’s also interesting that in several countries, laws don’t allow discrimination of the tattooed: search adds can’t require its absence.

Although some have them, following a custom, fad, fashion or other (un)cultural reason, so far, everybody this writer met with permanent tattoos were not living in grace, which seems to support that it’s the mark of Satan, the mark of the Beast. Satan’ slaves are branded just like cattle.1 Yet, Satanic masters seldom tattoo, proving they are masters (Gates, Buffet, Soros, Epstein). It’s a worrying trend that 33% of US adults have tattoos, but it grows to 50% if under 40. 2

Even if COVID injected are emitting a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) tag, the global satanic government will still enforce ID tattoos on the hand or the forehead as predicted in the Book of Revelations. Those nano-routers are powered by carbon or graphene nanotubes, which convert EMF into electricity. Para-magnetic elements have been found also in anything injectable: dentist anesthesia, intra-venous hydration, parenteral nutrition and medicines, etc. It won’t take much to add them to tattoo ink.

A tattoo is a satanic sacramental, thus, it’s recommended to remove them, because it’s a special tie of the person to the influence of a demon (even Christian themes). Still, what really counts is not being tattooed in the heart: attachment to mortal sin, which kills the light of grace in our souls, chain it to Satan and make us become enemies of God and doomed to hell unless repentance:

1 John 5:16-17

God will give him life for those whose sin is not mortal.

All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin which is not mortal

Several passages prove there is are different categories of sin, from mild to grave (Mt 5:22; Lk 12:47-48; Jm 3:1; etc.).

Also, “James also teaches that the “prayer of a righteous man has great power in its effects” (5:16), which implies that there are relatively more righteous people, whom God honors more (merit), by making their prayers more effective. He provided the prophet Elijah as an example. If there is a lesser and greater righteousness, then there are lesser and greater sins, because to be less righteous is to be more sinful, and vice versa.”3

For a sin to be mortal (not venial), it has to comply with 2 conditions:

Objectively, to be a grave matter.

Subjectively, to commit sin on purpose, with free will, previously knowing it is grave (Lk 23:34; Jn 9:41; 1 Tm 1:13; Hb 10:26).

Some objective mortal sins leading to hell, forbidding the entrance in “the kingdom of heaven”:

1 Corinthians 6:9-10

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor sexual perverts (note: not ending in the natural way of conceiving life), nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God.

Galatians 5:19-21

Now the works of the flesh are plain: fornication, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger, selfishness, dissension, party spirit, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Ephesians 5:3-6

But fornication and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is fitting among saints. Let there be no filthiness, nor silly talk, nor levity, which are not fitting; but instead let there be thanksgiving. Be sure of this, that no fornicator or impure man, or one who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for it is because of these things that the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.(cf. Gal 1:8; Heb 12:16; Rev 21:8; 22:15).

Matthew 12:22-32

Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. And whoever says a word against the Son of man will be forgiven; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.

Non-forgiveness is the result of non-repentance: refusal of trusting God’s infinite Mercy that forgives even the vilest sins, pre-paid with Jesus’ blood in the Cross.4

How to break the chain of mortal sin to Satan and recover Grace and Paradise?

Acts 17:30

The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all men everywhere to repent,

1. Make an act of perfect contrition, “the sorrow of a loving child who does not consider so much the pain or reward as he does the pardon from his father and mother to whom he has brought displeasure.” 5

It requires love of God (not just fear of God or hell), being really sorry for the sins, purpose of:

Not committing them again
Avoiding occasion of sin
Repairing the damage caused on yourself (penance) and others (crucifying Jesus, restoring damages, correcting a lie or slander, returning whatever stolen to the owner and if not possible, to the poor)
Seeking sacramental confession as soon as possible 6

2. If your parents or you haven’t done it before, baptize in the name of the Holy Trinity: it erases all sins.7

3. If you committed mortal sins since baptism, go and confess your sins and get God’s absolution through a real Priest, Catholic or Orthodox, the only ones with the uninterrupted anointment of the Apostolic succession up to Christ so they and act “in the person of Christ”:

John 20:22-23

And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”

Matthew 18:18

Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

4. Leave instructions that when you are non responsive (especially but not exclusively, if in risk of dying), that a real Priest gives you the anointment of the sick.

Dom., Serm. lxxi) that 'impenitence is a sin against the Holy Spirit,' and (De Serm. Dom. in Monte xxii), that 'to resist fraternal goodness with the brands of envy is to sin against the Holy Spirit,' and in his book De unico Baptismo (De Bap. contra Donat. vi, 35) he says that 'a man who spurns the truth, is either envious of his brethren to whom the truth is revealed, or ungrateful to God, by Whose inspiration the Church is taught,' and therefore, seemingly, sins against the Holy Spirit" (ST 2b:14:2, Sed Contra).
