Is it wrong to do a smaller bad-thing, when others are doing what in your mind is the worst bad-thing?

Do you want an answer that says it is less wrong to poke holes in your body to make yourself feel beatiful and to verbally abuse people, than to take anothers life?

Are you trying to draw lines between far-away things in order to blur your perception of reality?

There are several verses to correspond with the piercing of ears and other body parts, "the body is the temple of God", "adorn yourselves with modesty and decency", etc.

As to cussing, let me just say that besides the aspect of the Bible, it really shows ignorance on your part that you cannot come up with an appropriate word. It really does make you sound, well, dumb. If you have to use cuss words to communicate, then you need to pick up a thesaurus and read a few words now and then lol.

My mom always said that cussing was a sign of stupidity, that's why I never do.

I think god loves body piercing. Jesus was one of the first people into body-piercing ever and let me tell you girl, those honkin' railroad spikes were probably 200 times thicker than those little piercing studs they use at the mall. Plus they don't nail you to anything outdoors and immovable, like a cross, which was kind of hard luck for those guys, but golly-gee, it was the first century, and you can't expect that they would have worked out all the bugs at first.
Another drawback can be the holes in your body. I know this chick who could stick her little finger through the holes in her tongue, and Jesus was unable to eat m&ms and other small candy after the resurrection. You just have to consider if it's for you.

So yeah, I think god is down with body piercing.

I don't know about cussing though. He might hate that.

Because it's harming your body.

1Cor.3:16-17 "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are."

1Cor.6:19-20 "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?" "For ye are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."

Isaiah 3:17-26 "Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover their secret parts." "In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon." "The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers, The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings, The rings, and the nose jewels, The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins, The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the veils." "And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of a well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girdling of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty." "Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war." "And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground."

I don't think it's so much a problem that God has as much as people. It's just hard to have a witness among people if you have a face full of metal and a mouth full of swears. Now, it mentions cursing people, but not really cuss words, such as the f-bomb, but you're not supposed to curse anything that God made, because he made and there is a reason; and that reason's not to be cursed.

God cares for so many reasons. First your body is a temple and it houses the Holy Spirit (God) in it when you become saved. Cursing is like polluting yourself and since God is on the inside of you, you are causing him harm. Second your body is not your own. God made you for his purpose and his will. He doesn't want you punching holes into yourself. The Bible says we are made in the image of God, so why would you need to change anything about yourself and ask yourself would God say this or do that. That is my answer.

Every designer sets a catalog with the machine he invented because he is the most knowing one of it,s use.God (Allah)created us and sent religions to lead us to the happiness in that life and the life after.Some ones made changes in their scriptures for political reasons so God(Allah)sent Mohammed with Koran to correct religion for all mankind.So, God would really care if we Peirce our ears and cuss.It,s not enough that we aren,t killing people.

Jesus gave only two commands:
1. Love god with all your heart, soul and mind.
2. Love your neighbor as yourself. (Meaning put your neighbors needs before your wants.)

In those two commands lay all the laws of the prophets.

Pierce away on those ears. And, cuss softly. LOL

The body is the temple of God. Jesus even said to the romans that if the temple was destroyed that he could rebuild it in three days and look what happened. Jesus was risen in three days.
We need to treat our bodies as a holy temple.

I didn't think he had a problem with piercings. And I know that cussing is just supposed to be a way of keeping your thoughts clear.
