    Since the only instance of piercing is mentioned as being that of a master piercing his slaves ear after the slave pledges an allegiance to him, and that slave remains a slave for life, do we have authority to have our ears pierced outside of slavery?

    Also, since there is no other verse to indicate any other piercing of the body by man except to kill, do we have liberty to pierce body parts?

    Since driving a motorcar is not even mentioned in the scripture, do we have the right to drive a motorcar? Same logic. Customs change faster than we can keep up with them. Should we abolish modern society altogether?

    The Bible is a perfect guide in all spiritual matters. It is not complete in all matters of life, and we just have to use our heads and common sense.

    I don't like drums used in the church, but they are there to-day and I had to adjust to them. There is no room for legalism in the free church, and nothing does more damage within the local church structure. It drives people away; saved and unsaved alike.

    Cheers,

    Jim

    It is for those who need them...anyway, their choice, not mine.

    Cheers,

    Jim, The more I read your posts, the more I like you and I don't even know you!

    You sound like someone with a clear head on their shoulders.

    I am sure your church is getting good use from you. Thanks for posting!

    Jamie
