Bible Question: is there anywhere in the new testament where it says you cant have body piercings and why not |
Bible Answer: For me personally, if God wanted me to have body piercings then He would have created me with a bunch of extra holes in strange places on my flesh where I could hang ornamental jewlery. The fact that I didn't come eqipped by God with all these extra holes, is ample indication and proof for me that God didn't want me to have a stud in my tongue, rings in my eye-brows, naval area, lips, nose, breasts or mid extremities. Besides I see it as wasteful spending on unnecessary ormanents to decorate this fleshy body, for the main purpose of drawing attention to ones self. I want my life and my body to point to Christ not self. Thats my personal two-cents on piercings. |
