can we judge and excommunicate countless thousands of people that love the Lord but dress in Goth, wear tattoes, piercings, etc.?

God doesn't excommunicate anyone, neither do I.
Church doors are open for ALL to hear Gods message of love and redemption. We are all sinners and need Gods forgiveness.
I would welcome the Hells Angels gang into my church if they so desired to come. The bible does warn us to not do things that cause our fellow believers to stumble. If what we wear to church may offend someone or distract them from hearing Gods Word. It would be more appropriate to not dress this way. Do everything out of love for God and one another. God knows our motives and our hearts, that is all that matters to Him.
God Bless You.....Peace.

CHristians are depressed its nice to know Goth christians are out there to point out this fact. most christians dont have a problem with tatoos unless they have non christian symbols as far as excommunicating goes how very christian to claim to love all people then do such a thing. Man christians are a disaster waiting to happen.

rofl. Its clothing. Why do you even care? No, you have no right to judge and excommunicate thousands of people because of the way they dress.
Its this kind of thing thats causing people to hate Christianity.

There is a passage that says we are not to judge them. What they wear is not important as long as they dress in the armor of the lord.

First of all...what drives me crazy is when people mistaken wrong views of others as views for christianity as a whole....there are extremeist in every religion and belief system...even politics, we need to learn to seperate those from the true believers who try their best to be good loving christians, or whatever religion someone practices.
as for clothing or personal appearance.......we have no right to judge anyone on anything..judge and you will be judged. I will say however...my own personal belief....the bible says our bodies are God's temple, meaning...he made us, he loves us, and he uses us to do his good work on earth (and by good work I mean really good works, moral good works...normal good works not extremeist good works) and since we are suppose to view our bodies as temples, well....would you grafity a place you consider sacred? push holes all through it? dress it in a way for people to look at it and go.... "what in the world is that?"

Johnny Cash was sort of Gosh.
It is not the clothing, but the heart that matters to God.
If your church cannot accept that, then go to a different church.

The whole point of dressing goth is to say, "I dont care what you think about me. F*** off!" If you dont think that way then you have no business dressing goth anyways.

No, but they are crying out for attention. After someone who looks like that gets saved, they need to change. The bible says modesty is the way to go.
