Is wanting to look like someone else a sin?

admiring someone for their outfit or makeup look is one thing..in which then you seek to get the same outfit or this or that because you like it...but its another thing to say oh i wish my butt looked like hers etc then thats sort of like jealousy...self improvement one thing...wanting to be exactly like someone else another

You need GOD'S WORD working in your life. Read and reread the NEW TESTIMENT until the next time you read it you will already know what IT'S going to say. For then IT'S locked in your heart to draw from the rest of your life. You will never be sorry you did. This is GOD'S ROADMAP given to us so that we are able to walk up that path to the KINGDOM of ALMIGHTY GOD

You can give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. You can teach a man how to fish and he can eat for a life time.


The following quote from GOD'S WORD would be likened to getting the fish.

Galatians
Chapter 5


16 I say, then: live by the Spirit and you will certainly not gratify the desire of the flesh.

17 For the flesh has desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; these are opposed to each other, so that you may not do what you want.


18 But if you are guided by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious: immorality, impurity, licentiousness,

20 idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, rivalry, jealousy, outbursts of fury, acts of selfishness, dissensions, factions,21 occasions of envy, drinking bouts, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

22 In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness,

23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

24 Now those who belong to Christ (Jesus) have crucified their flesh with its passions and desires.

25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also follow the Spirit.

26 Let us not be conceited, provoking one another, envious of one another

Envy is not useful and is time consuming.

I would be more concerned that you were not comfortable with your own self.

As for copying some style or something, that is totally normal. It is how people fit in.

I have to wonder if your questions are not entirely rhetorical. Usually, when someone has burning questions, they are quick to check the replies and only stick to that singular problem.

No offense.
