If God Almighty, the creator of Yahweh, Allah, Vishnu, Olorun, Abassi, etc does not want humans to do anything other than what it does, by now we would be remaining in a civilisation more ancient than the stone age. God Almighty who created your god has never at any point in time commanded you to wear or not to wear earrings, rather the golden rule is USE YOUR BRAIN. 1 Like |

LordReed: God is not confused and can never be. He never asked us to stop male circumcision. Even if He asked us to stop, He is God and sovereign. His decision cannot be faulted. 8 Likes 1 Share |

LordReed:Does this have to do with, raring to poison the well or this is about, perhaps, you, missing the foreskin taken off your pênis? Which, out of the two, is the reason behind the "why did God make male pênis foreskin that he's just gonna ask people to cut off" question? annyplenty:As oppose you giving the brother greater knowledge and proper understanding about the subject (i.e. circumcision), you instead, gave a careless and lazy response When and where did He ask "us" to do it annyplenty? What exactly is the "it" He asked "us" to do? LordReed: annyplenty:Squandered another opportunity with a response like this LordReed:You reason this way because you've missed the point(s) 1 Like |

annyplenty: Exodus 32:2-4 Aaron said to them, "Tear off the gold rings which are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me." Then all the people tore off the gold rings which were in their ears and brought them to Aaron. He took this from their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool and made it into a molten calf; and they said, "This is your god, O Israel, who brought you up from the land of Egypt." Ezekiel 16:10-12 King James Version (KJV) 10 I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers' skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk. 11 I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck. 12 And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head. Many Christians are slowpoke.s, they don't even read their Bible. They just blindly follow the doctrine of their church and their leader/mentor. Nigeria will be forever backward with these kinds of human beings. 5 Likes |

ponziponzi: I have addressed these quotes in the message I attached. May be you did not listen to them, and so I will address them here, again. These people were just coming from egypt and God told them to collect these ornaments from the Egyptians so that they can use the ornaments to make the ark of covenant for Him in the wilderness. They were not suppose to wear the ornaments but these people copied the attitudes of the egyptians and wore the ornaments against God instructions. If you looked at the scripture above, you will see that their daughters and sons and everybody was wearing ornaments which is not different from what is happening today in this last days, where men and women are both wearing earrings. In the immediately following chapter, the following conversation ensued exodus 34:1-6 1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it: 2 And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite: 3 Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in the way. 4 And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments. 5 For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee. 6 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb. In verse 3, God says that He will not follow them again in the wilderness because they were stiffnecked whick meant that they had not been listening to the instruction God had been giving them. When the people heard that God will not follow them any more because of their stiffneckedness, they began to mourn and they started to do what God had been commanding them, which was to remove the ornaments from them. They did this in verse 4. When the people began to mourn that God did not want to follow them, God had pity on them and decided to follow them again but He gave a condition and the condition was that they must obeyed the instruction he had been giving them which they had obeyed. And in verse 6, they removed their ornaments which meant that was the instruction God had been giving them and which they had been disobeying until they went a step further by using the ornaments to make idols. |

Why did he not create man circumcised? Did he forget to do that, or was it too dirty for him? |
Re: Why Did God Not Pierce Holes On Our Ears? by annyplenty(m): 1:14pm On Jan 04, 2019 |
Zodiac61: I cannot answer why He did not create man circumcised but I know that He asked us to circumcise. Circumcision has purpose it serves . Did God ask us to pierce our ears, nose and tongues and if we pierced them what purpose do they serve? That is the difference. |

Ezekiel 16 vs 12(KJV) And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears,and a beautiful crown upon thine head Op explain the passage above |
Re: Why Did God Not Pierce Holes On Our Ears? by annyplenty(m): 4:35pm On Jan 04, 2019 |
Hermes019: If you carefully examined the passage, you will understand that God was not talking about physical earrings that Israelites have been yearning for since the the wilderness time after the order of the Egyptians. Before I tell you what those things in Ezekiels 16 vs 12 are, I want you to note that -1. God did not ask them to go market and buy the jewels and earrings by themselves and wear them. -2. He said He would wear those things for them -3. If He said He would wear earrings for them, then they should wait and let God be the one to put it on them rather than they buying to put it on themselves. -4. Remember if God says He will bless them, they have to pray and seek Him until He finally bless them. Now let me tell you what God want to give them in place of those things in ezekiel Prover 1:8-9 8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father[/], and [u]forsake not the law of thy mother: 9 For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck. Without already saying so much you will begin to see what God meant to achieve with Israelite and what the ornament He promised them meant. There are other scriptures to support that God did not mean the physical jewelries that people are now wearing about. |

Re: Why Did God Not Pierce Holes On Our Ears? by Hermes019: 7:33pm On Jan 04, 2019 |
annyplenty:I never insinuated that the verse is to be taken literal,of course I read the beginning of the chapter so I understand it is more like an illustration, but my point is this,if piercing of ears is a sin like u painted it to be then it doesnt make sense for your God to be citing an example with something he supposedly detests,let's make it more practical, now we both know the position of the Nigerian government on homosexuality and gay marriage,does it make sense if an advert by the federal government on national television portrays two men romantically attracted to each other,NO!. So if your God detests piercing of ears then it doesn't make sense for him to use it even if he is making an illustration, after all he is supposedly omniscientso there are an infinite other ways that he can make whatever point he wants to make without using the example in question |
