I think that in some other culture (say, India[n]?) where jewelry, including piercings are more acceptable in polite society, there could be a case made for women perhaps wearing them even after conversion??? But I agree with Thad on this one....in the United States body piercings really identify you with the punk-under-culture, and to be just plain rude, they make you look like white trash. And THAT'S my honest opinion.

Thad ... here's the deal ... there is NO COMMAND OR EVIDENCE IN THE BIBLE THAT GOD IS AGAINST JEWELRY OR WILL SPLIT THE GATES OF HELL FOR SOMEONE WEARING IT MODERATELY .... NONE ... ZILCH ... NADA .....

there are clear commands for having ONE WIFE in this dispensation ....

Simple.

It's too bad two mis-interpreted verses are the pre-text of a non-existent command ... besides God's paved entire streets w/ that stuff.
