Is It A Sin For A Pastor And Christians To Do Plastic Surgery? by Yarduni: 6:55pm On Dec 30, 2016
Paula white, the prosperity preacher who declared bankruptcy does plastic surgery on her face.
She will be praying for trump at his inauguration.

Seeing her, you would see marks of extensive lip, nose, and jaw jobs.

Is it a grave sin for "pastors" or even christians to engage in cosmetic and plastic surgery?

What's wrong with plastic surgery? Are you from one of those churches that forbid women from braiding their hair?

A link that states that pls. I have known her since 2000, she is just a smallish woman with no fat on her skin.

You just speculated by juxtaposing two of her pictures.

The way you guys use your mouths against other people, i doubt if you know that there are consequences for libel, whether before the law here and the law in heaven?

When did glorifying the flesh that will be destroyed at the sound of the last trump become an issue...Besides, you do not own that body! Any adjustments to the source codes of www.nairaland.com would require the express permission of Seun or the webmaster under the permission of Seun. Similarly, any adjustments to your body should be after collecting prior permission from GOD the maker of your body...but nowadays, who cares about GOD, we just go about doing what appears right in our eyes and expect GOD to endorse it...

Dead christianity!

I don't see any wrong in what she did but God who sees the motives will judge her accordingly, whether good or bad. The Bible never said enhancing your looks is sinful. It only cautions moderation and warns against the sin of pride (of possession or position).

This is why God is the true Judge. Your actions may not be sinful or bad in themselves but your reason for doing them is what makes you wicked or godly.

Until then judge not......

Because people had found pleasure in doing it makes it SIN, people can spend hours on that but silent hour few minute.

What really is sin then? Scriptures say whatever is not of faith is sin and faith is of the spirit and by implication actions determined, dominated, designed, dependent and dominated by fleshly desires are sin...She is not deformed facially and hence her desire for plastic surgery is clearly borne out of the desire to appears appealing to the senses - particularly the sense of sight and that is of the flesh!

Now someone would easily say I am judging, but hey I didnt write the bible and neither did I set the rules...the rules are in the scriptures for all to see. Me telling you that playing with a sharp double edged knife could earn you a deep cut doesnt make me a judge and analogously stating that something is right or wrong based on the standards enshrined in scripture does not make a judge! There is only one judge and that is the person who himself is the scriptures, Jesus Christ!

This age and generation is making the understanding of the bible much more complex. I've been doing some google search on this topic and people are really confused on it as usual

Oh man, when did you become the judge of people's motives? What is that to you if she altered parts of her face so as to look more beautiful?

Remember the Scripture about trying to remove the speck from a brother's eye...

I am not judging her motives. Man read my comment! Neither am i attempting to even correct her. I am simply stating what is in the scriptures and if you feel I am judging then take your criticism to the scriptures.

I did not author the scriptures, so take your grouse to the scriptures:

1 Peter 3:3-4

Your beauty should not be an external one, consisting of braided hair or the wearing of gold ornaments and dresses. Instead, it should be the inner disposition of the heart, consisting in the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which God values greatly.


The beauty of a child of God should not be of the flesh but of a pure heart and undefiled spirit. That is why as Christians we are not to know our fellow man after the flesh.

2 Corinthians 5:16

Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.


The flesh will be given up one day and no matter how much you spend trying to beautify it, the bible calls it corruptible.

1 Corinthians 15:53
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.


The bible is packed full with scriptures that tell us to focus more on beautifying the spirit rather than glorifying the flesh. To be fleshly minded is death just as the wages of sin is death.

Romans 8:6

For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.


Instead of spending hundreds of thousands on a plastic surgery to beautify a face that will see the corruption of death or be transformed on the final day...spend quality time in the presence of God and beautify your spirit man till the glory of God on your spirit man manifests in the outward man, like Moses who spent time with God and absorbed so much to God that his face shone till his death!

I am not judging her or her motives, I am simply stating the scriptures which i did not author...These same words hit even me typing it and tell me to repent of pampering, adoring and glorifying my flesh!

Your look is your responsibility. There's no natural look. If you cut your hair you've tampered with nature. If you comb it self you've tampered with nature . If you eat too much , if you eat too little . If you eat late night ,if you worry too much ,if you don't eat good food , all these will affect how you look . It's your choice .

That would be difficult to tell just like Pakistanis telling you that honour killing of disobedient children is not a sin in their eyes. We need some pastor to come explain this.

You have done a better job explaining God's position on plastic surgery. You see no problem in eugenics too right?
