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

As much as I don't support offensive dressing, but I want you to know that God is a Spirit, worshiping of God is a thing of the spirit not of FLESH, not how you dress or what you wear. What is more important to God is what your heart or spirit wears. Muslims cover head to toe, but some still carry bomb to kill others, does it makes any sence? Some Christians cover head to toe yet some hate and fornicate. God said he that worships me MUST worship in spirit and truth. Spiritual and true worship does not kill, hate, fornicate or put on Satan activities.

......
Majorities of our Christians nowadays do used Chains, Earrings just to show off....
Especially our Gospel artists like Tim Godfrey, Frank Edward and many others like that...But, I do ask myself WHY...

Brethrens, Is it A Sinful thing to be using all those Stuffs as a Christians?
yeah bt I'm not gonna judge who so ever does that..... bt I think earing belongs to women n d bible says men shouldn't put on what belong to women bt for necklace me I no no
Re: Is It Sinful For A Christian To Be Using Chains And Earrings? by boynigeria(m): 11:00am On Feb 01, 2015
There were men and women in the Bible who wore earrings (Exodus 32:2-3 ; Numbers 31:50 ;
Judges 8:24 ; Song of Solomon 1:10-11 ). The Bible nowhere condemns an earring or earrings in
women or men. Some people wonder why earrings are for the most part accepted, but other body
piercings are considered questionable at best. This is a good point. The whole issue of piercings is
not one of “Does the Bible forbid this?” but rather “Is this something I should do?”
While there is no specific counsel in the Bible about earrings, Paul had general things to say about
jewelry when he advised Timothy on worship within the local church: “I also want women to dress
modestly, with decency and propriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,
but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God” ( 1 Timothy 2:9-10 ). The
principle here applies both in and out of church: modesty, decency, propriety and good deeds are the
hallmarks of a true Christian in both men and women.
Whether we choose to wear earrings or any other piece of jewelry is a matter of personal conscience.
In any case, clearly our responsibility as Christians is to bring honor and glory to the God we profess
to love, doing nothing out of vain conceit ( Philippians 2:3 ) and remembering that “man looks at the
outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart" (1 Samuel 16:7 ).

statement bro? Forget about church ish here and let the fact be fact.
All your quote are from the OLD despensation. No where in the NEW will
you find such. Jesus is the Centre of the Bible both Old and New
testament and AFTER HIM SHOULD OUR LIFE BE FASHIONED. Afterall,
the Apostles were first called CHRISTian because their Life resemble
that of their Master Jesus. Why a Earring in the first place? What do
you stand to GAIN? It's like Strange Fire On The Altar-- it can
kill.[/quote]


yea, u are right that wat the guy quoted was from the old testament, but the new testament neva categorically condems wearing of them so wat are u saying?

. i wil not say u r wrong. but since it is a worldly act, stop riding beautiful cars, wearin clothes, stop living in beatiful houses, stop using mobile fones and evritin dat is of the world. pls go bak and study the Bible very well. even God loves beautiful things, from Garden of Eden to Solomon's temple. Even Esther was beautified. God is not against all dis things, its our pastors who have set different doctrines, that of deeper life differs from CAC, AGAPE differs from winners. Everytin shud just be done moderately.

God never disapproved of this things. read the ten commandments, read MARK 7, READ Galatians 5. u wont be confused.

There are people who dont wear earings or chain but their heart are more sinful and wicked than those who were them.At least I know of some deeper life folks.That is not the identity of christianity Jesus came to establish.
