and for the record....pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall...I know plenty of people that would not think of using most cosmetics but they are full of pride...
So the final judgment belongs to God and HIM alone.

There are a lot of topics in your post.

I lived in sin in the world. Picked up a lady that was to become my wife. She and friends at the beech enjoyed the sun. No makep up in the yacht racing, beech volley ball crowd years ago but the sunworshippers sure did the tan and the skinpy swim suits. 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.

Excellent research:

What Does the Bible Say About . . . .
JEWELRY, MAKEUP & OTHER ADORNMENTS
INTRODUCTION
Since the beginning of time, men and women have sought to enhance their appearance through the use of jewelry, makeup, ornamented clothing and other adornments. Looking at ancient art found in the tombs and other buildings of various kingdoms and especially that of Egypt, one can see that the use of gold and paint was commonplace. Ornaments sometimes symbolized wealth or favor, or were worn as amulets by pagans.

There has been some controversy in various Christian churches today over whether or not the use of jewelry or makeup is appropriate for Christians. Especially as our culture has dropped most of its taboos against its use and even advocates it. It is rare to see a women today in the United States that is not wearing earrings or some other pieces of jewelry. Ironically, in the above mentioned controversy, the issues of fancy clothing or other costly things are usually left out of the discussion.

In an attempt to resolve this issue, I used a computer to compile all the verses in the Bible that deal with the subject of jewelry, makeup and other adornments. Most of the texts apply to people, and some texts are as God uses adornments in His earthly temple and the New Jerusalem.

Of course it is a splendid point. It was given to me by 2 people that practice witchcraft. Do you say they do not know why they do what they do?

Actually first hand testimony sometimes stands up. some one saying what people did weraing make up at the time of christ where there are no writings, will not stand up.

Since we realy saw the gospels were about jewish women under the law, go to the law and it paints what they had for understand. Remember the law came after bondage and deliverance from egypt. Of course we can assume baggage from Egypt is hard to erase. In reading Kings, it was a recurring pattern. One of the motives of removing permanent cosmetics, tattoos, is because people regret the statement they were trying to make in rebellion by getting a tattoo.

Psychology is not brain surgery. It is easy to study people and find out why they do what they do.

Have you ever noticed there are no blind people wearing glasses to get the Gov Palin look?

Have you ever asked a dead person why they wore make up? Did they answer you?

[KWSS1976]

Of course not but when you die you will have makeup on so you will not look so pale so be careful what you preach it might just turn around to bite ya
