Number of downloads: 321 Corinthians 3:16-17 (New International Version) 16Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? 17If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred, and you are that temple. a lot of ppl read this passage and enterpite it to mean that tattoos and piercngs, among other things, are unacceptable especialy for christians. they believe that its not only whats on the inside that counts but its also whats on the outside. i must say that personaly to a degree i have to disagree. i mean of course you cant tattoo i love satan on you back side but a butterfly on your arm wont upset God. as far as piercngs go i dont think getting your tongue periced or your eye-brow or anything pierced is really frowned apon by God. now what you do with such outward expressions of individuality may be a prob. if you get a private area pierced still keep that area private. if God is not going to judge you because of your tat or "ring" neither should anyone else. (please excuse my spelling) |

the point has nothing to do wit you being a good person and being a christian/jew is more than being a good person. the religious angle came from the fact that i am a christian and ive been getting mess from ppl b/c i got my tongue pierced. i dont think there is anything wrong with it and i dont think God does either. the point is to get you to think about the subject and figure out what you think. so what do you think?
