Bible Question:
If a peircing is ok do you think it is ok to 65 ears old Christian to have it his/her belly and go to church? Do you think this really a christian attitude? Le 21:5 They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh. You mentioned in your comments that God judge us not in our appearrance but in hour hearts. So maybe it is also ok to go church naked? God will not judge us in appearance right? God is not affected in our appearance He is holy, but how about our co-churches the people around us do you think they believed you are a christain going to the church naked? I am not saying that you said it is ok to go naked but the peircing is the same thing. I dont think a good Christian will put piercing in her belly so she can glorified God. God gave us standards of how we can glorify Him, and I am sure it is not to put piercing in her belly. Mt 5:13 ¶ Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Mt 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Mt 5:15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Mt 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. We are the salt for mankind, we are the light for mankind, we shine before men and see our good works, and glorify our Father in Heaven. Do you think piercing in our belly will show how good Christian we are? I dont think so. You have to be a good example to mankind. What do you think the reason why President George Bush did not put piercing in his nose eyebrow and to his belly? He wants respect! as a Christian we need respect and show respect in our selves. I am glad that my pastors dont do peircing in thier belly. God bless, |
Bible Answer: Johnny I know this is probably directed at Tim but let me say on this issue I agree with you. Our body is the temple of the Holy spirit and I think we should treat it as such. We should not be punching holes in it or covering it with graffiti. To me tattoos and piercing are a declaration to the world of where our alliance is, that being the world. I think it also broadcasts to the world we make really bad decisions about things that will effect us the rest of our lives. I feel so sorry for some of these young ladies that have piercing and tattoos that one day may marry and be carried into part of society where such are not acceptable. Imagine if you will, the presidents wife standing beside her husband with a few crudely drawn tattoos or piercing marks above her eye brows. We even see entertainers today that express the deep regrets for getting tattooed and the expense and extremes they go to cover them and remove them. I have read where some actresses have lost parts in movies because of their tattoos. Think about it if Hollywood finds them a handicap imagine their impact on the rest of society. EdB |
