Subject: do piercing |
Bible Note: Sang This thread or my participation in was never about rejecting somebody. We should never reject someone on first impression outward appearance. However if a person habitually makes their appearance something other that societal norm then their reason for doing such should be questioned. As that appearance is examined by the individual as they work out their own salvation with fear and trembling I’m certain God will reveal deep seated emotions or attitudes that shouldn’t be held by a Christian. I state that on the belief that body piercing is not a Christian directive but rather comes from a desire to be accepted by a fringe group within society or for the shock value to normal society or a desire to experience pain. These reasons show a weak or non existent relationship with Jesus Christ that should concern any Christian that happens upon them. EdB |
