Even tanning is done for purposes of idolatry often times to get a look. (and melanoma later on) And I know folks that are tanned and it is not intentional. it just comes with what they do and has no objective.

I am opposed to most artifical colorations because the motives under them are the bigger problem

This thread argues that it is all ok because the bible is not explicit about cosmetics. The bible is incredibly explicit about attitudes and cosmetics almost 100% are used and to the behavioral world are such an obvious display of attitudes. (they don't remind us of sack cloth and ashes)

I am ok with cosmetic surgery of a reconstructive nature. I am also aware of augmentatins and cosmetic revision surgeries often have latter side effects.


Cosmetics eye salve A&D ointments, lotions, scrubbing products cleansing, fragrances, shaving grooming, ex foliating, etc are fine

Paints, lipstick, colored nail polish, rouge, tattoos, mascara, eye shadow, no.
Piercings, loudly no!!!

Now if the gossipers want to bristle, I will also tell them that the wiccans, witches pagans see our intent in using things as a way to be supportive of many of their core beliefs. that means for example, a satanist feels good seeing tattos. He sees it as having a common ground with him.

They need to learn how false religions think to see that purity and modesty really do set us appart. Purity and modesty inside and outside.

Just out of curiosity, do you really spell speak as speek and beach as beech? I think I can understand why some are or were asking about your education. That is not what gossip is. Gossip is spreading private rumers about someone behind their backs.
