Subject: Is this a sin to do |
Bible Note: Clarification: I would ask why they were getting it - and I would address the CORE ISSUE they were getting it IF THAT ISSUE was something that was contrary to Christ. To me... it wouldn't be the piercing that would be the issue. It would be the core reason for getting it. And remember.... we're talking about a CHRISTIAN getting a tatoo or piercing here. Also - it was you who said your wife now regretted having pierced ears, and she felt she would not have done that if she were a Christian -- was that you who said that or someone else? If it was you - that troubles me. WHY would she feel guilt about that??? I am genuinely curious, if you don't mind answering that (if you know her true feelings on this issue and could speak on her behalf). |
