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?

I personally don't think so, because when you die an go to heavan,
God isn't going to ask why did you stretch your earlobes, or what kind of car did you drive, or what you wore 30 years ago
He is going to ask what kind of person are you? Did you do the right things for the right reasons?

Etc.

I thought ''transforming'' your body was a sin, because that's not the way the creator intended it? :unsure:

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

i cannot post in that forum atm because of warn% but if you would like to know or even post this in the question, i have heard many preachers use this in terms of piercings and tattoos etc...

i believe stretching your earlobes like that is considered a form of self mutilation which in Christianity is a sin yes.

1 Corinthians 6: 15, 19-20
15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 19 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? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Stretching your ears is not a sin..

It's the same as piercing. Transforming your body would harm it physically some how.

I thought you could still goto heaven if you sinned

Isn't this considered Vanity

Vanity is a sin right?

What do you mean if you sinned? Every single person that has lived and ever will live have all sinned. All except one.
