Enhancing
This was brought up in another thread and I realized that I've never heard it addressed.
If a lady in your church asked for your opinion on having surgery to "enhance" a certain area of her body, how would you advise her?
Is it wrong?
Is that something personal that shouldn't concern anyone else?
Note: I'm sure this topic will swing from one side to the other and we need to make sure that we stay on point.

I think it's between her and God, but she should be aware that she will assuredly be judged by all who notice.

A few deeper questions are:
Why she does not have enough self esteem to love who she is now?
What's the real motive for the "enhancement"?
Will it benefit His kingdom?
How will it effect others?

Well, it could benefit the kingdom if it helps her find a husband and increase the numbers in SS.

It is wrong that society has made her feel a need to have such an operation done to feel like a beautiful person.
Either society has had such an impact on here that she feels that she needs this operation to be acceptable or desirable or she is acting upon her own desire to be sexy, desirable, beautiful etc.
Both roads are long winding roads of failure.
Our satisfaction in who we are as a person should not come from our outer appearance but should, instead, come from who we are in our heart, mind, soul & spirit.
All other measurements of beauty, desirability & happiness are exercises in futility and failures in the works.
The wrong would not be in the action... but in the though process that brought them to that place.
God can heal these thought processes but the operation will not.
