It used be culturally unacceptable:
to use profanity
to tatoo and pierce our bodies
to smoke tobacco
to be given to alcohol
to wear things in public that reveal the body

Although, many people did these things, it was frowned upon by society in our country. The Bible doesn't explicitely name theses things, but are they right? Culture is decaying, Do we continue to lay down our standards because the Bible doesn't give a explicit scripture on these topics?

The church was given authority to bind and to loose. As culture developes new avenues in wich to be immoral we must have biblical principles to which we can apply to the many new inventions to sin.

I really don't know how to explain myself. I believe sin is sin. However I believe cultural settings can dictate what would be considered modesty, male vs female, etc... Also what scripture are you referring to about the church given authority to loose and bind?
