Where is it in the Bible that a woman should not use these things? Where it becomes issue is when the dressing becomes too gorgeous and moreover there are different dressing for different occasions. I've seen a lady wear underwear to church. Isn't that condemnation than putting on earrings? The only thing I read in the Bible is that a man or woman should not put on what is meant for the opposite sex.
Someone said they are meant for the slaves. How does that become a spiritual matter? Well, I don't need Kumuyi to interpret Bible for me because I have it at home and when I read, I ask for inspiration.
HAPPY NEW MONTH...

I usually do not comment... But I couldn't help myself today..
I do not wear ear rings or chains... But to say it's a sin to wear them, errmn I don't know about that..
Let's explore from the scripture:

What is sin?? What we should all realise is that sin is more than an act, it's a nature.. We were all born with that sinful nature because of Adam's transgression (Romans 5:19a)..
If you never lied, never stole, never fornicated, you'll still go to hell because of that inherent sinful nature..

Who is a christian If you think a Christian is someone who is Christ likely or who should be Christ like: YOU ARE GREATLY MISTAKEN...
A Christian is a new creature (not just creation (2corinth5:17)).. A new specie! Someone who no longer has that sinful nature.. A Christian is not Christ like, a Christian is Christ.. (Colossians 3:11, Galatians 3:27)..(pls read the scripture reference)

How did we go from sinful nature to Christ.. Answer----> JESUS...
Jesus took our place.. He became sin for us (2corinth 5:21).. The bible says the soul that sins shall die.. So Jesus died cos all have sinned (Romans 3:23)..


Now we have been made righteous/holy.. Not by works but by faith(Romans 5:1,Philippians 3:9)..I know this will make many religious folks crazy.. But it's the truth.. It's the gospel..
Not of works (Galatians 2:21,5:4, Ephesians 2:9)..
God wants us to live a decent, holy, righteous life.. But he wants us to live from the consciousness that he has made us decent, holy and righteous.. He wants the credit for our righteousness..

There's still more to say.. But e don too long..
So is piercing or jewelries sinful for a man?? Of course not!
Is it advisable?? of course not!

Vikkie14:
Yeah.
This is what is called "IMPORTED GOSPEL".

Only SLAVES(both in Bible days and during Slave trade) had their ears bore as a mark of OWNERSHIP. So, why the earring in the first place? What do you want to GAIN? Are you saying God is a BAD creator? If God want you to have a bored ear, he would had done that before your birth. Or are you the one that informed Him to inscribed the the lines on your palm?? So, WHY THESE? Wearing earrings as a christian is like offering Strange Fire on the Altar. It's deadly, it can kill.

Forget about denomination. A REAL CHRIST ian with "christ" inserted and not a X tian with an "X" would know Christianity is not about "bench and plastic chair warming", "going to church". The Apostles were first called CHRISTIAN in Antioch, why? Because people cant decipher between Christ their leader and the Disciples.
So also, you can't profess to be a "christian" with traces of worldliness in you-- Be it earring, bumshot, legging, sphag(abi na Indomie), studd(as a male), mini/micro skirts, ISN'T THAT WHY THERE ARE MORE PROSTITUTES IN CHURCH THAN HOTELS?. We know a tree by the FRUITS it produces.

Must we borrow/import the "things" of the World into the church and then says it's "civilization" and "swagger ism"??. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A MUSLIM WORE TROUSER or MINI/MICRO SKIRT(as a lady) TO MOSQUE BEFORE??.
we need to reshuffle our Life. Some even argued that "My God is a God of Grace, he is merciful" but they failed to remembered that HE IS ALSO A CONSUMING FIRE. The God of GRACE(God's Riches At Christ Expense) could turn to God of GRACE(God's Resources Against Cruel Enemies) if you aint careful. The God that called us to be HOLY and PERFECT has already provided the ways for its achievement.

WORLDLINESS IS LIKE OFFERING STRANGE FIRE, IT CAN KILL!!!

This is what is "Imported Gospel" does.

Did you come out from your mother's womb with a handset? But today I guess you even typed this shit from a phone.

"Love your neighbour as you love your self" that's the greatest commandment. Forget whether u put on earrings or Necklaces.

If I tell you what those people that doesn't wear earrings do ehh! You will close your nairaland account!

U neva see the bling wey oritsejafor dey rock??

I think it is our motives that should be questioned....the "WHY" of what we do...the other time I saw a young lady putting on an anklet in the church+ wore a short skirt#i had it in mind to speak to about it...but I just let it pass# if u put on blings,nobody is gon take u seriously as a christian...our outward appearance tells a lot about us

Juliesexy:
What?! There's no way earrings could be said to be used for show off! What happened to fashion? What about beauty? Don't even give me that "natural beauty" theory; it's there, yes, but...

You could say that about chains - that's if the person uses and flaunts them in a certain manner - but not earrings for Christ's sake!

Christianity, or more of, Religion, has led many people to lose track of what this life really is. It has made many souls to stop believing in themselves. I mean, must every of your actions be inclined to religion? Religion this, christianity that. Religion was made for man, man was not made for Religion! I think it's better we start going about naked, cos that's how God made us abi? Mtcheww!

In fact, it's a sin not to wear earings...JUST because of religion. Yes, I said it, and I'll say it again. Take me anywhere and I'll sure defend myself.

Quoting you:"Christianity, or more of, Religion, has led many people to lose track of what this life really is". When you want to be called Christian then be ready to forget everything about the world,it is not of Christ

Walspring:


Dont mind people like him..

People like him will say drinking beer is medicinal and good for the healthy

People like him will tell you that when you beat your wife, you will go to heaven

People like him will tell you that when you commit fornication, you will go to heaven

I will want to ask a funny question,is drinking of beer a crime? Can you back your ans with bible verse(s) thanks

-The much we know about God is the little He have reviewed to us.
-On the day you become a Christian,you know many are born again but not christians. Many are born again because they have agreed that there past life are sin,but not Christian because they don't want to be like Christ.
-The very faithful day you accept to be like Christ that is been a Christian is the day you don't only accept your past life as error but also enter some covenant with the Lord as you turn to Him. In that covenant many rejects Drinking of Beer,Wearing ear rings and Chain(s),some others any form of attachment to there hair apart from that thread. Now,all these mentions becomes sins for that fellow if they go back to it.
Its all about your personal relationship with the Lord. Remain blessed

This is the story of a brother
Who slept and woke up in forever land
He looked around nothing's familiar
He wondered how he got to be there
He took a walk around the city
And saw this brick house with a small door
Walked into the room and saw a man in white
Must be an angel,so he said.
Mr angel I'm a stranger don't know what's going on
The last thing I remembered was I slept last night
This is the border town that takes you where you get a crown
Must have heard of heaven where you came from
Only those whose name I find written in this book of life
Will forever be in paradise
Chorus:
Is your name in this book of life
Is your name in this book of life yeah
Ta da da,ta da da da,ta da da da da da da
Verse 2:
Flipping the pages of this great book
This brother gave a puzzled gaze
He saw the names of prophets,saints and marthys
who kept the faith and won the race
But he said Mr angel! Where is my name
Can you tell me what is going on
I'm a pillar in my local church
Gave the offerings and the tithe
Feed the poor and have myself a good name
Chorus:
Is my name in this book of life
Is my name in this book of life yeah
Tell me is my name in this book of life
Is my name in this book of life yeah
Verse3:
Unforgiveness lurks within your heart
Some folks that you'll never let go
Little foxes and secret folks
Will spring surprises on that final day
Wow oh oh oh,wow oh,oh oh,oh
So much for this wonder brother
What about you,what about me
Let him that thinks that he stands
Let him take heed lest he falls
Only the pure in heart will see Jesus
Those whose garments filled with purity
Chorus:
Is your name in that book of life
Is your name in that book of life yeah
Is your name in that book of life
Tell me is your name in that book of life yeah
Think about it.

Wearing of chains,bangles,earring etc, is far older than Christianity. It was of note, that God's chosen people the Israelites women bedecked themselves with expensive ornaments and sweet fragrance. Such things are moderately used to beautify girls and women Read Isaiah Chapter 3:16-24.
For modern day Christians, there is nowhere in the bible where putting on earring, bangles, leg chains or nose rings is condemned, All the same, what bible values much is inner beauty by both men and women, other than expensive physical appearance. 1Peter 3:4-5 ; 1Timothy 2:9
Where these things might be a cause for stumbling for Christian women, their Christian's husband who presides over his household in Christ like manner will as much as possible encourage his wife or daughter to moderately use these, if they should

It's very Sinful....Happy new month Guys...

Who are you? GOD she!
My friend go and sit down.

Check Genesis 35;2-4

Genesis 35:2-4New International Version (NIV)

2 So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, “Get rid of the foreign gods you have with you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes. 3 Then come, let us go up to Bethel, where I will build an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress and who has been with me wherever I have gone.” 4 So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods they had and the rings in their ears, and Jacob buried them under the oak at Shechem.

Note; Earrings were idols on them, and it was discarded and buried for them to fulfil God's agenda. God has not changed!

Vikkie14:
Don't swerve, we aint discussing about shoe and belt here but how a REAL christian should dress

it is NOT a sin. for detail discussion contact me on 52D6D5F9

Girls b lik Chai!! Who send ds guy 2 ask ds qustn , won't u leav us alone ....lolzz

Vikkie14:
It's of note that it is pure WORLDLINESS. He said, I AM NOT OF THE WORLD EVEN AS THEY ARE NOT OF THE WORLD. If He could testify that before His Father, Why are we now blending Worldliness and Christianity? Must be wore earring before we look attractive? Aint we created in His image? SO WHY THE ADDITIONAL? Isn't the Bible that says HE HAS DONE EVERYTHING WELL?

An adage says: the luggage of a mad woman gets bigger because she can't stop the lust to pick up things. She add this, she add that, unknowingly, she is adding to her burden. Stop the painting and worldliness.

As for me, I AM WONDERFULLY AND FEARFULLY MADE. hit likes if you believe also.

The question I always ask people like you is, if wearing of earrings, necklace and bangle is considered as worldly and sinful, why then is wearing of clothes, wrist watches, shoes and even bathing with soap and water not a sinful and worldly act?

[quote author=Vikkie14 post=30316365]Yeah.
This is what is called "IMPORTED GOSPEL".

He would have also plaited your hair or combed it for u from the womb. If I may ask, do you plait ur hair?

Hypocrisy of the highest order.
Gold chain and earing is a sin while gold wrist-watch isn't?.

Alcohol is a sin while taking drugs which contains percentages of alcohol isn't?.

Worldlyness is a sin, but using gadgets produced by the worldly scientists isn't?.

Taking beer is a sin while working at NBC, IDL, NDL isn't?.

LOL dnt u know there is magic ring and earrings dt peopl use for protectionif u hv anything dt replaces God in your life b it food or whteva.it bcomes an idol

Is it sinful for a pastor to have a luxury jet??

Here is the Conclusion of the matter. Darby Bible Translation
But he that doubts, if he eat, is
condemned; because [it is] not of
faith; but whatever [is] not of faith is
sin. (Romans 14:23). Anything done outside FAITH is sin. So If u like Don't wear earrings, Don't plait ur hair, Don't even bath, if its outside faith, then u r still sinning. Let's not be dogmatic and "churchy" and claiming 'holier than thou' here. Let everything be done in moderation.

Which one is better? To put on neck lace and be a blessing to your generation in Christ and uphold people's marriages or not to be using neck lace and destroy people's life and marriages?
