Self Inflicted
Scars and Infirmities- Tattoos- Piercings President Spencer W. Kimball

 The
gospel of Jesus Christ magnifies the importance of the body and the
dignity of man. The body will come forth in the resurrection. It will
be free from all imperfections and scars and infirmities which came
to it in mortality which were not self-inflicted. Would we have a right
to expect a perfect body if we carelessly or intentionally disfigured
or damaged it? We shall have our resurrected perfected bodies through
the eternities. They were given to us. We had little to do with getting
them. It then becomes our duty to protect them from hazards, from mutilation,
or disfigurement. We should treat them well, building them with proper
foods, proper rest, proper exercise, and keep them strong, robust, beautiful,
and undamaged and live on and on till called home by our Lord.(Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball, pp. 36-37) |
