We are all sinners

 As a Christian it hurts me on how our own Nigerian version of Christianity is different from that of  the western people that brought Christ to us.

Why does our own Christianity always  have to be about twisting what is in bible to our own favor.

I was having a conversation with a said pastor about tattoos, and he kept telling me how God hates people with tattoos,  he even quoted a bible passage to back his claims up, he quoted   Leviticus 19 vs 28 which says  "You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the LORD." But unknown to him i know that particular passage of the bible so i took him back to the same Leviticus 19 vs 27 which says "You shall not shave around the sides of your head, nor shall you disfigure the edges of your beard."

The pastor in question had a well shaved beard and a perfectly barbed Afro hair cut, and i was like how do you go about telling people God hates something on verses 28  of a particular part of the bible meanwhile he also said you shouldn't do another thing you did on verse 27, and you feel its cool.

Why do we judge people for sining differently.
