If you go by the text of the bible it's a sin, but lots of silly things are sins according to the bible.


Where in the bible does it say you cannot stretch your earlobes?

You shall not make any cuts on your body for the dead or tattoo yourselves

What really matters here is how literal you want to take the bible. But that's pretty much true for all issues with religion

This is not a matter of religion please you are in the wrong forums.
This is CHRISTIANITY forums.. if you want to answer to this question put yourself in a CHRISTIAN perspective, and they do follow the bible.

The main question was directed AS a christian,.. and THIS IS A SIN for christianity, no matter how you wanna paint it to your likes.. ANYTHING related to vanity IS a sin.

And the main reason why people stretch their earlobes is VANITY. Absolutely nothing else. And THAT is a SIN under Christianity.

Again, how far do we take this "vanity" argument? Cutting your hair is vanity. Trimming your beard is vanity. Trimming your fingernails is vanity. Are these sins as well?

Please excuse the double post, but here is a clarification from Drakwen on the matter:


its not a sin, just like painting a church is not a sin.

This guy wants to stretch his ear lobes.. is this a sin?

Isnt this a materialistic thing, like wanting to change his body which was given by God?

Isnt he just going against something that was created by God, by wanting to change it?

Or like isnt it a meat lust and/or very materialistic wish?


Man, I've got bad news for ya, you're going straight to hell :(

it matters how literal you wanna be in the bible. people vary on the issue. some believe that it is a sin, some believe that it should not matter. honestly you should be able to tell with the holy spirit.

this is a trivial issue compared to the real issues in today's world, but

you have to look at the motives why you're doing this and the fruits it bears
