Even though I had to follow certain doctrines when I was younger, I have come to question some of them as they cannot be proven through the Bible. I am particularly curious about where the Bible specifically forbids wearing earrings. My parents are devout Christians, and they did not even pierce my ears, let alone allow me to wear earrings. However, one day I felt like wearing an earring, so I put on a magnetic earring and went out. Later in that day, I attended a Church program a friend invited me but when I got to the Church, I was asked to remove my earring or leave.

I am not trying to shade Christianity, not all Churches treat visitors that way, I was even surprised at the way I was treated that day. I am just specifically curious about where God condemned earring in the Bible? I accept that all Churches have their own doctrines but some of these Churches still use there doctrines to rate Christians from other Churches. Is wearing earring a sin or just some Church doctrines? I can't find any verse in the Bible that condemns earring. If you know any please indicate.

I went through your write up and observed you wore the earrings just to be disobedient to your parents who according to you are devote christians, and if you are throughly a Christian and not a muslim pretending you would know what the Bible says about a disobedient child.

And another thing is that there is no church anywhere no matter how strict they are, that will send you home because of wearing earrings rather they will ask you to remove it.

And another thing I observed is that on Sundays instead of nairaland mods whom I believe most of them are muslims will post messages of Jesus Christ that can edify, instead they will be posting stupid things about the church and Christians that makes no meaning.

End time church

None,
This is Nigeria version of Christianity
The sane way deeper life forbid their members from watching TV.
Same way most churches labeled Facebook a satanic social media at its inception.

One mistake you are making is that Jesus and Paul were always friendly. That's not true. No one can change anybody, only the holy spirit can convert soul. The holy spirit can use your anger at times to cause a positive change in the mind of someone.
John 2:14-16
[14]And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
[15]And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
[16]And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
Acts 17:22-25
[22]Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
[23]For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
[24]God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
[25]Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

You think it's "friendly" to go to a pagan temple where they have been worshipping their idols even before paul was born and start condemning and preaching against it?!.
No, Jesus and Paul were not always friendly. Even the bible says "our God is a consuming fire" fire is not friendly...

Fire is not friendly but you cook with it. Y'all be interpreting thrash. Ain't no reason to justify sending a church attendee out of church. There is nothing indicating that wearing earrings is forbidden in the Bible. The Bible should be the yardstick not individual dogma

Seems i will open a church for only those wearing earrings, tattoos and just about any kind of hairstyle be it man or woman.

The doctrines of churches varies from one church to another. Some churches permit female members to wear trousers and mini skirts to their services while some churches do not permit it. Some churches do not permit women with lipsticks and men with dreadlock to come forward to receive holy communion. Some churches insist that women should cover their hair before entering their services while some churches allow women to attend their services without covering their hair. Some churches allow men with dread locks and worn earrings to attend their services while some do not permit it. Some of the doctrines ensures orderliness and prevent distraction during church services.

HappyPagan:

Ah, na church hold salvation... No be jesus... 1 Da full.

Jesus dey wear ear rings? A church is not a club house .. Every church has rules and reg,if you can follow them ,then go to your village shirine .. Even though op didn’t state if she is a male or female..

This our generation and their stupid wokeness. Even courtesy and common sense and wisdom demands that when you are going to an organisation or place or environment you first learn their culture, rules and regulations. This is stupid of you to come and start complaining.

Xavier70s:

Jeremiah 4:30
And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.

What does this have to do with this thread? Why do you people love taking Bible passages out of context?

And people here ‘liked’ this?

The rules and regulations are the Bible, and that’s what is laid down for Christians.

What is ‘woke’ about this thread? Must everybody worship pastors and churches? Did Jesus follow all the ‘rules and regulations’ of the synagogue and sheepishly do all the Pharisees did?

There are loads of churchs that wont object, why dont you find one and attend?.

When you go to Rome be have like Romans. Its called a doctrine for a reason. They didn't force your coming, it was an invite, it was still your choice to wish to turn it down but as long as you gave into it you have to follow suit.

It's same like going to a Christian or a Muslim school and decide to change their narrative. It won't work!

So where did you get satan from if you ask others not to believe the Bible? Na colo dey worry some of una I swear.

HappyPagan:

e no go pass chosen charismatic

This is very simple,behave like Romans if you see yourself for Rome.

Go to where they'll allow you to wear it.

I am a free thinker but I think people over dramatize things.

Different places with different doctrines, go to where suits your lifestyle and be happy.

Not all commandments can be written but people can choose to give certain rules to protect their space. There is no where in the Bible that said woken should wear bra, or people should not wear g-string to church too nau, Abi?

There are churches that will even allow you to wear mini skirt and crop top, go there.

Your friend is also wicked, she should have adviced you on the do and donts of the church.

Ire oo

Are you not bothered by the fact that Christianity has different doctrines despite all followers worshiping one God and having one founder who serves as the savior and mediator?

Jesus drove those that were doing business inside the Temple out, how does it relate to this? Show me another set of people He sent out?

If you read 1 Corinthians 9:18-23 and Roman 14:1-14, you will realize that they were wrong.

Are you sure you were not driven out by all these overzealous wardens in the church? Mind you that even in the church, Satan is operating through many members to be sure that salvation doesn't get to others. No one/where is too holy for Satan to inhabit and/or with...this is on one hand,

On the other hand, some church wardens might add their own personal beliefs different from what which the church preserves and operate from that standpoint.

USELESS CHURCH.

Your comment is actually useless.
Each church with their doctrines just as each society has their doctrine.
When you get to a church, respect their doctrines.

Kooldon:

You still couldn't quote a single verse that forbade earing.

So as long as it's the association's Doctrine all is well?
