I've had my nose pierced (right nostril) for several months now. I've had many comments about it, some positive, many of them negative. I just let the negatives slide and don't dwell on them...well, until yesterday...I went to church with my best friend, I really enjoyed the service until the preacher began making comments about people who wear baggy pants and have body piercings. He said people who do such things are 'angry in their hearts' and 'believe the world owes them something' therefore they get piercings as a way of 'expressing themselves'. I just had to shake my head at this. That does not describe me at all. I had my nose pierced for the same reason I got my ears pierced, I think nose piercings are cute. Simple as that. His comments made me a bit angry as well as hurt my feelings. I don't believe having a piercing makes me any less of a Christian. So my question is...where in the bible, if anywhere does it state that piercings are a sin?
