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: Jlpangilinan: 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? Sang_Phleg: A piercing is not a Christian Attitude. Not having a piercing is NOT a Christian Attitude. My point is... I believe piercing has NOTHING to do with Christianity one way or the other. Jlpingilinan: You have to be a good example to mankind. Sang_Phleg: I absolutely agree with you. Yes. I simply would make the case that a piercing or the lack there of would do little if anything to acheive a good witness or to ruin your witness. I think the meat of being a good example for Christ in the world goes deeper than our outward appearance. Jlpingilinan: 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? Sang_Phleg: I did not say that God judges us by our hearts and not our outward appearance. - GOD HIMSELF said that in 1 Samuel 16:7: "The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." - And what's more... He says in that verse also that MAN judges by outward appearance. Which of course, is what happens when people reject each other based upon whether they have piercings or not, don't you think? Now, my brother (or sister?) This is a silly thing to debate over. We can agree to disagree on this issue. We can do that because it is not an issue that is spelled out completely in the Bible, nor is it an issue that is essential to our salvation. In Him, Sang_Phleg |
