Subject: Is this a sin to do |
Bible Note: Hello again. Hope your day is going well. I agree that the slave's decision was to remain enslaved....... how does that TRULY prove that the same would be true of a person in 2004 getting a body piercing? And since in this Levitical passage you and I are talking about, it is the EAR of the slave that was pierced - let's use that example. If a Christian brother goes out and gets his ear pierced today - how does Leviticus 21:6 PROVE that he is declaring himself to be a slave to the world? And let me understand you on something. If a non-christian comes into your church with an eyebrow piercing, a tatoo on his neck and... let's throw in a nose piercing too (those really freak me. OUCH! Doesn't that HURT?) -- do YOU - EdB - Personally... go up to greet him and welcome him? |
