Drew Boy - Make my day. Tell me why the body should be pierced except for medical reasons, e.g., to give a shot, test the blood or drain a boil. --Hank | ||||||

The fact of the matter is not why we should or why we should not, I wanted to know if it says anything in the new testament or not. I dont care what peoples opions are what matters is what the bible says what you guys are telling me is just another mans opion, and thats not what I base my convictions on. futher more there are new born christians that are walking away from God because there are people shoving their own releigion down there throughts insted of the love of Jesus. With all do respect. | ||||||

1Corinthians 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. Dear Drew Boy, please explain to the Forum how it is that body piercing brings Glory to God and not necessarily used for promoting one’s own pursuit of a self-indulgent public promotion? We do things for arguably two reasons only, for the glory of God or for our own vainglory. The latter of which is the only logical explanation for body piercing, at least in this man’s opinion. The fact of the matter is if “new-born” Christians are walking away from God as you state, I question that they were reborn to begin with. Love for Christ is not self-indulgent but rather self-sacrificing. Love of Christ will have you wanting God to have all the Glory as He rightfully and truly deserves. Your convictions should stem from that love. Quite honestly, if you shove the love of Jesus down someone’s throat, I would expect him or her to choke and die due to its unimaginable size. I would rather God change a person’s heart than make them try to swallow a love of which they can hardly grasp its size. Just my opinion. Stand in His grace, WOS |

dear "stand in his grace", I don't understand why you think this passage forbids body peircing. I don't have any peircings, but I think they are perfectly fine. We all do stuff everyday that are not for the glory of God. Eat junk food, drink soda, where a shirt braging about where our last vacation was to, or Peircing Your Ears. I have not seen a women in my chruch yet that does not have her ears peirced. I am not about to tell this person not to go get a peircing. At my church the bass player has a pony tail (he's male), a women that helps out with the sunday school has tattoos on her neck, and the pastor plays the drums. We have racially mixed couples, mentally handy capped people, and folks like myself who have seen abuse through out our life as members. We do not judge, or turn away anyone that wishes to come and worship the lord in a good ol'baptist atmospere. I apologize for my grammer, spelling, or if I seem upset. I don't mean you, but people in my area are really quick to judge a person that has an abnormal appearence or if they don't fit there cookie cutter mode that they have created for their religon. Thank you for taking time to read my ramblings. | ||||||

Hello jts, Welcome to the Forum. As an FYI, you responded to a post that is over 2 years old, so you may not receive a reply! May I offer 2 observations: 1. Since scripture is the supreme judge of all our actions/practices, where's the biblical basis for your "ramblings". No disrespect intended:-) 2. I think you missed his point! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
