Body Piercing

[TasManOfGod]

Body piercing defiles the body, the Temple of God, which is not yours (believer) as it has been bought with a price thru the blood of Jesus Christ

I really do not think that the Lord gives a hoot if you have your tounge pierced.....

I think He would give just as much a hoot if you got one as He would have if Jesus Christ had got one

I have 8 piercings, I am still forgiven........

Body Piercings are absolutely ridiculous. It's a form of desecrating your body, much like tattoos are. They're not attractive, most people think that they look "trashy", and that the person who has one is doing so only for a "trend" or because they're lacking something in their life that the "rush" obtained via a body piercing makes up for it. Or, they simply want to have attention, or attention drawn on themselves.

Absolutely no purpose to a body piercing, unless you want to look like a freak.

ear piercings are fine, but they look downright silly on a man.

Seriously, why the fascination with piercing your eyebrow, lip, navel, nipple, tongue, etc.? Isn't that odd? Are you only doing it because it has become trendy among young people? If no one was body piercing, would you still do it? I view body piercing to much the same way that a lot of young women are now getting tatoos near their ankle or waste. It's become trendy, and they don't want to feel left out. However, who in the world would want to live with a tattoo the rest of their life. Most people wouldn't. Similarly, regardless that body piercings aren't permanent, why would you put something in an improper place? In fact, what's the motivation driving someone to do such? It doesn't make sense.

I think it depends on the motive behind it. When I was 25 I got my nose pierced, I could have given you any number of justifyable reasons why I did it at the time, but 8 years on and I look back all I can see is that I wanted to 'make a statement' and actually the root behind it was rebellion... I don't have it any more.

I don't understand the fascination with tatoos and body piercing. I like the "all natural" look myself and prefer only modest makeup, if any, on a woman. God's natural beauty cannot be beat.

I like all percings except back percings those are sick! I think their nothing more then self mutolatoin. Back and some of those other ones (cheek,arm, **** like that is sick!) but everything else is cool so are tats. To me they are anyways.

Perhaps you could draw a body chart for us. Like put on it "cool" areas and "uncool" areas. I wonder if God has a chart like that and whether or not yours would line up with His

I dont really know what you mean by that at all! Honestly. Can you tell me what you are implying or getting at?

Have you seen back percings? They are sick!

 

[Justin04]

ok after reading it a few times. I think you are saying that the bible speaks against percings?

You do know they had percings in the biblical age even godily people. I think it was abraham (sp?) whos wife had her noise perced. That was common back then. It was a sign of being married to a man and being taken. Having their noise perced thats what the godily peple did back then.

I think the posts that say "piercing is just desecrating the body....but ear piercings are ok" are just silly. That's just grasping at straws to further one's own opinion of the matter. Either all piercings desecrate the body or none do.

I think none do. I think that it could be a sin issue in some of the following ways: God tells you, personally, not to and you do anyway; you get a piercing for a sexual (outside of marriage) reason; you're under your parents' roof and they ask you not to and you do anyway.

But I don't buy that the piercing itself can be a sin issue.

I think that if it's a sin issue in someone's life, the Holy Spirit is faithful to convict people of sin. That's His job and He's good at it. He doesn't need any internet help.

Actually it was Isaac, Abraham's son (but that's just being picky) .

I've got a nose ring. And I think it fits the social norm of those times. being that

Isaiah 54
5 For your Maker is your husband-
the LORD Almighty is his name-
the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer;
he is called the God of all the earth.

I dont know if thats true theres some weird percings out there. A percing that has almost a 90+ % chance of being infected is probably not suppose to be perced. i.e back,arms,hands,cheeks, ect.

 

[TasManOfGod]

I believe God has created us in His image and directed us in a way that will gives us the best possible fulfillment in this life. Jesus Himself perhaps gaves us the final word on this. "You see me you see the Father " Now if Jesus didn't think it appropriate to have tats and body piercing I see no reason for me to have nor to be "proud" of any I might have had before my conversion.

 

[Justin04]

dont you know that JESUS CHRIST has a tattoo? Didnt anyone tell you?
