EdB - this is a very interesting perspective. I do not agree with it as you've stated it - linked to body piercings and tatoos. A hole in your body with a peice of metal stuck in it cannot enslave you to the world if you are a Christian living for GOd. A hole in your body with a peice of metal stuck in it can do nothing... but... be a hole in your body with a peice of metal stuck in it. Even if others choose to believe you are not a Christian because of that piercing - that would still be THEM deciding that against you - with no varification from God Himself - and so, an invalid judgment ON THEIR PART. However let's agree with your analogy in this way: I think that a Christian certainly CAN choose to remain enslaved to the world though they are free in Christ. Example: if a Christian chose never to live life abundantly through Christ - meaning they did not take part in the Means of Growth (1.God's Word, 2.Ministry, 3.Active, regular fellowship with other believers, 4.Prayer and 5.Discipline of the Holy Spirit) - then they would be choosing, though free in Christ, to remain enslaved to their former lives and to the world. In that context, your analogy of slavery to the world though free in Christ would work (in my opinion), and would be a very good point. But a body piercing does not have the power to determine whether or not you are free in Christ. It certainly cannot make you a slave to the world. At least... I cannot see how.

Sang_Phleg, I hope pastors in your community dont display piercing in thier belly, I hope when they gather in the sunday school they dont compare thier tattoo and piercing before they proceeds to the service? I hope so! What do you think the reason would be if a very faithful Christian will do piercing and tattoo, do you think this is the best good works they can offer to thier community. Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. I is written in that passages that a Christian is a workmanship of Christ, I cant see how a workmanship of Christ would love piercing and tattoo. Christ specified things we must do if we love Him. Joh 14:15 ¶ If ye love me, keep my commandments. I dont see listed in His commandments that a faithful Christian must do tattoo or piercing enable to show the world that they love Christ. God bless, |
