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!!!

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!

There is something that people need to understand about the writings of Apostle Paul. Paul wrote mainly from the viewpoint of God, or from the viewpoint of faith. What do I mean by the viewpoint of God or of faith? It means that God calls things that do not presently exist as though they already exist, because they will definitely come into existence. God says that He has made all who are in Christ righteous. He also says that He has already seated them with Himself. The question is, are they righteous now and are they seated with God now? While Israelites were in Egypt, God said that He would move them to the Promised Land. Did every individual Israelite make it to the Promised Land?

Mt. 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, `Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

Mt. 24:13 but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.

Yeah sir but that is thd Old testament. And mostly that is why Jesus came to abolish the law and grant us GRACE(God's Riches At Christ Expense). If we should base our life on the Old testament then Christ death is vain and useless. In the old testament, solomon had 1000 wives and concubines, but you won't find such in the New dispensation. Must we because he had that and starts gathering wives and concubines also because there was someone who did that in the bible and even was the WISETH man ever lived? No! CHRIST IS OUR PATTERN AND AFTER HIM SHOULD OUR LIFE BE FASHIONED. U get me my brother?

Thank u sir

Nigerian Christianity is a joke. The way nigerians portray Christianity is a big turn off . instead of focusing on real issues like how we can apply our Christianity to stop lawlessness, injustice, corruption and greed youy are talking about petty things like earing and chain. Even the societies that don't take religion serious, their level of corruption and injustice is not as high as ours. What's my business or any body's business for that matter if anyone wears chain and earings.of what use is your not wearing earings and chain when your day to day decisions and character cannot reflect Christianity. You will even see some so called we don't wear earings or trousers in our church collecting bribe, defrauding and getting involved in all manners of corruption


alaba is an example. There's no day I go there that I don't meet street evangelists who claim lipstick weavons and wearing of earings is a sin but they are the same people selling alcoholic drinks or pirating other people's sweat in cd so please shut up and deal with hypocrisy after then deal with other issues of substance and not earings.

I pray God should damage your own ignorance because if jewellery usage is worldly you can as well be walking the streets naked because putting on clothes too is worldly sewn in the world by a human being. The laptop you are using to type is worldly. Go to the heavelies and produce a laptop. By the way with all our so called outward show of religion and pseudo self righteousness what have we been able to produce. Mind you most of the scientists who make laptops phones drugs etc are atheists. Is it not the same brain God gave us. Did he give some special brains and some dull brains.

what is sin? Give me a new testament definition of sin!
If you are to leave ur body the way God made it, why do you use cream or paste or perfume or even cut ur hair or shave or eat or bathe? can't you leave your body and teeth the way God made it.

This is why most Christians don't come to religious section of naira land because of sentimental posters like you!

-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.

not only the heart but the outward appearance also. Imagine a self acclaimed christian saying he is born again and still drinking orijin and gulder. The bible says, what defileth a man is not what enters him but what comes out øf him. A tree shall be known by the fruit its bears. You can't claim to be a christian and you still engage in mini, micro skirts, leggings and bumshot. Tix worldly. Isn't that why there are more prostitute in the church than at the the Motel and hotels?


It is your church that has more prostitutes but you don't know. All those pretenders that wear long gowns but are extremely wicked in their neighbourhood, gossips and back bitters.

when you meet them in the office, they use the pretence of holiness to be harsh, wicked and unhelpful.
Heaven will shock people like you, because the ones you thought are not good enough are those that will be welcoming you in heaven!

Well, in my opinion, whatever is done must be done in faith. Some don't eat flesh, while some do, doesn't mean those who eat flesh are sinners, they do it in faith. Likewise the issue of rings.. Check out Ezekiel 16:12. 1 Peter 3:3-6 is about women focusing on their inner beauty than their external beauty.

Above all, whatever you practise must be in faith.

Hello sir, the view point of faith/God is the exact view point God wants you to live from.

For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭10‬ KJV)

Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was accounted to him for RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Know ye therefore that they which are of FAITH, the same are the children of Abraham.
And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through FAITH, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. (‭Galatians‬ ‭3‬:‭6-8‬ KJV)

For we walk by faith, not by sightsmiley (‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭7‬ KJV)

You know why some Isrealites didn't get to the promise land? Guess smiley ----> UNBELIEF, FAITHLESSNESS..
See below:
And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief. (‭Hebrews‬ ‭3‬:‭18-19‬ KJV)

So my brother, you are righteous today, you are the son of God today, you are sitted in heavenly places today, you are a citizen of heaven today..

The Christians that continue in sin are those that don't know these things.. They don't know they are dead to sin.. They forget what Jesus has done.. This why the bible says we should renew our minds.. Also awake to righteousness..

But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. (‭2 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬ KJV)

Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. (‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭34‬ KJV)
