Men and Earings

Males in earrings is just effeminate. Long hair is sin.

 

When I was in high school earring/s on a man were a message of feminity and not at all masculine.

We must always seek to not be a stumbling block to the weak and non-believers. We must be to the highest standard of spirituality and godliness to be invisible so that Jesus in us may be seen..

A friend of mine who pastored in Germany told me that the peiople would wonder what was wrong with you if you did not drink beer with them. But they would consider you very foolish if you drank too much.

 

Spend a day in a high school and you'll realize the distinctions between the sexes are not being erased, just changed.

 

"not being erased, just changed."

So we change the difference to...no difference?

Isn't that the same as "erasing"?

 

Two scriptures come to mind:

Matt 15:11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

and

Mark 7:15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.

I would associate “…goeth into the mouth…” and “…nothing from without a man…” as the same as wearing something, i.e. earrings, etc…

 

I think that it must be a cultural thing.

I personally hate it, the old me says it is "wierd", etc, but I really can't find that it is wrong, unless all earrings are wrong. There is no sexual distinction on earrings in the Word of God.

Distinctions may be changing (or erasing) but this slighter older guy will not be getting his ear (or anything else )pierced, wearing make-up, wearing a necklace, or anything else that might pop up in the years to come.

Besides, I'm a sissy when it comes to pain and it might hurt to have a hole punched in my body .

 

And, BTW, it reall is good to see the newer posters here

 

Errings make the man look like a sissy, unless their manly men and then they look like Mr. Clean.

I don't wear mine anymore, it kept getting snagged on my shirt. I had no hair at the time and looked like Mr. Clean. My family was glad to it all go. Now I look like the rest of them. I've conformed.
