"Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print or tattoo any marks upon you: I am the Lord."

~Leviticus 19:28

"What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."

~1 Corinthians 6:19-20

I could probably find more if you like.

Well,isn't hair dying taking away your natural color? Isn't piercing putting things on your body that wasn't there when you were born?

[Bartimaeus]

Hmm. I guess that makes sense. Thank-you Biokid for the quotes. ^^;
While I don't particularly like piercings or hair dye and it is not something I would necessarily do myself I see nothing wrong with it personally and have no problem with those who do want to have their hair dyed, etc.

I know. I think I just said that I recognised that? I just don't think it's wrong personally, no offense. ^^;

I don't think It's that wrong at all, and WarriorQueen, maybe not everyone thinks so. Like me. c: Piercings and tattoos are fine to me, I plan on getting a few when I'm old enough. It's your body, who's going to stop you? Besides, I doubt Jesus isn't going to accept me into heaven just because I have a few, haha.

I know that. But in the Bible,it says treat your body like a temple.

Temples need decoration? :V

Note I am not being entirely serious here, though I do have pierced ears and occasionally dye my hair with henna. I take the new testament admonishing from Corinthians to basically respect yourself and not give into detrimental self-harm - this includes things like not exercising/taking care of yourself. As for the old testament prohibitions - well, I don't keep kosher, sorry; Jesus made many of those rules rather moot. It's sort of like how I eat bacon with gleeful abandon. At the time, telling the Jews to not eat pork meat was really good advice, because of the sort of parasites that frequently are in pork. Similarly, tattooing and piercing was much riskier business - no autoclaves, little infection control, etc etc... so yeah, that was fantastic advice to the ancient Hebrews. But one of the whole points of Jesus giving Himself to save us from sin is that there's no longer such a thing as being chucked out of heaven on a technicality. Either you accept Him, or you don't; it's not going to suddenly be voided if you don't follow a little rule set in place before... like not eating shrimp or not eating pork or having pierced ears.

[Seahorseshoe]

Yeah, I'm not against women having pierced ears, but that's it. I don't think men should have piercings of any sort, and girls should just stick to their ears. But I don't wee why someone would want to have a hole in their nose or belly button or whatever. It seems pointless.
