Like Ed, Im not judging you or others, I say God would not approve of some of the extreems I have shown as examples. I do know people like them."I keep telling you, I am not dressing for reaction. And reaction and judging someone is two different things."
Reactions? Correct me if I am mistaken. Do I see that you have your bottom lip pierced? and are wearing a stud in your bottom lip? If not I apologise.
If so, my personal reaction to people who do this, and I meet many is, Why the hell would anyone, especially a man, want to wear a piece of metal in their lip?? I think, are they mad or something? Ye'h I know, some have them in their tongues, noses, eye brows, I saw one bloke bragging in the bath house at an underground mine who had one in his forskin??? laughing saying, look at this, saying the chicks love it! I told him,come near me waving that around and I will tear it right off with my bare hands, and I meant the lot! not just the ring! What a goose he was! Is this normal? What of people were born with them? Most would be running to doctors to have them removed! If you wear metal, not for reaction then why wear it? Do like setting off security alarms at airports?
Mate, I was some crazy bloke at your age, I did some things which would scare the pants of most men in my day and even more so today, but I would never allow someone to tatt me of ring/stud me in the ear, nose, lip, tongue, eyebrow, forskin, or any other place on my body.
We are created in God's image and likeness and He has none of these things on Himself. In my opinion, these things are promoted by an unclean spirit.
