Why Can't Men Wear Earrings In Church? by efficiencie(op): 2:11am On Jan 04, 2015
If women are permitted to wear earrings as an ornament so are the men as well! The verse below speaks volumes:

Exodus 32:2 And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.

The tradition of the Israelites was compatible with men and women wearing earrings as an ornament and it was as old as the time of Abraham. This is evident when Abraham's eldest servant seeking a wife for Isaac found Rebecca and gave her gifts and among the gifts was an earring.

Genesis 24:22
And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold;

Now if by the tradition of the Israelites women wear earrings then men should also wear earrings...

Howeves in our time female Christians wear earrings as an outward adornment contrary to the doctrine (popularized by some):

1 Peter 3:3-4
Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

but if female Christians are permitted to use earrings why aren't the male Christians permitted as well in some congregations?

It's a circus of a society you live in. No thinking at all. People always attach earrings to females, wonder where it's written. Some even judge you by what you wear. Smh!

Re: Why Can't Men Wear Earrings In Church? by dawealthiestman(m): 2:53am On Jan 04, 2015
OP, this post is HIGHLY unnecessary. Did you wear any piece of earrings (even to church ) and get any harassment? Why don't you do the needful and tell us about your experience. Another post by a randy teenager.
