PS: Like I said, Indeed; and since years back already all the boys who played ball in my street probably wore earrings in both ears - insofar as I even noticed at all - it puts to rest any archaic suggestion that it's somehow not a manly thing to do.

Doctrine from God's Word is so important to stick to...

@amadeus PS: My wife also is often too warm, when I am cold... :)

I hope you can adjust well to your medications, Sir. (I've had to do this myself after some rather invasive surgery.) As I get a bit older I like winter less and less; the experience of a lot of ppl, I think...

(Moved to the tattoo thread because of subject matter) @Nancy Yes, it's become a sort of rite of passage for both genders now at 18 onwards. (The days when only men had them done are long gone.) Hence the very strong demand for tattoo services. (Hence also the question of more Christians...

Wow, ice storm already! and it's only October... o_O

Oh okay! :) so you do admit that a discreet bit of tattooing has become fairly mainstream (even among not a few Christians, perhaps especially as a fairly benign womanly enhancement).

If our very conservative local church over here is anything to go by, there are anyway those who attend of both genders who not only would say that both genders can do ear piercing confidently, they evidently do. 2c...

I seem to remember 'raining in Manchester' as a truism... whether accurately or not...

North and West Country are a good combination! Weather-wise, the North has a reputation for being rainy; while the West County is - supposedly - more sunny....

@Mayflower Yes, definitely. @shnarkle even commented: "One of the churches I go to has three quite elderly women, all widows, who recently went out and got themselves tattoos." It's evidently something that people - seemingly especially women - of all ages can do from a definitely different...

Sounds about right! (and @shnarkle 's comments invite a similar reflection).

I guess sometimes dialogue is good; sometimes he said/ she said can become circular. I do think Scriptural, doctrinal subjects are very important.

Okay! :) Some Christian women go bare earlobed to church. Others put them all in! At the very conservative local church that my wife and I attend, even a majority of the young men and boys have ear piercings and wear their earrings to church; it seems to be a widespread custom among young men...

Great passage there! :)

Anyway, it's womanly now to do it; a lot of Christian women evidently do it confidently. Thanks for your comment. NB: Did you yet vote in the poll, above? :)

The passage also mentions the change in the priesthood system which only underlines the fact that the law was changed. (I guess as a dispensationalist my antennae are primed to notice this kind of aspect.)

Thanks to all who voted so far in the poll! NB: If you have not yet voted in the poll, please vote now! :)

It does say that the law was changed. It does say that what we now have is better than the law. (You may gather than I am dispensational.)

@Prayer Warrior So do all tattoos really make you cringe? :)
