Now that is not attractive....
But what if he had the whole book of Ephesians on him and he went to jail in China for Christ?..the inmates could read the "word" off of him.......now that is cool!
Sometimes the KJV can mis-lead us because of the old wording..."vile" just doesn't cut it....there are 4 times this same greek word is used in the NT...here they are below....
Philippians 3:21 (NASB)
[SUP]21 [/SUP] who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself.
The greek word for "humble state" means humiliation not vile as we use the word today.
Here it is used again concerning Mary.
Luke 1:48 (NASB)
[SUP]48 [/SUP] "For He has had regard for the humble state of His bondslave; For behold, from this time on all generations will count me blessed.
Here it is again talking about the Lord..
Acts 8:33 (NASB)
[SUP]33 [/SUP] "IN HUMILIATION HIS JUDGMENT WAS TAKEN AWAY; WHO WILL RELATE HIS GENERATION? FOR HIS LIFE IS REMOVED FROM THE EARTH."
James 1:10 (NASB)
[SUP]10 [/SUP] and the rich man is to glory in his humiliation, because like flowering grass he will pass away.

I blew it up I sure didnt see blue eyes in that pic they looked brown up close actually
What if the word was written in his mind and heart rather and not on his body as if it was some sort of scroll?
What if you were imprisoned for preaching the word of God and they dissallowed it in print and they chose to skin you alive because you put it there?
One thing is good to know...

I have one and I want to get more.
I've heard plenty of christians against them and plenty that aren't against them. At the end of the day, it's up to myself and my reasons for getting one. I see nothing wrong with them in general.
Every modern dictionary has "vile" in it as it is used in today's world..2016.....
You are missing the whole point.."vile" today in our modern English has a different meaning then what KJV Strong's gives it based on 1611 language....This is why the young Christian girl that started the OP addressed the words "Vile body"....if that isn't clear to you then we will just have to agree to disagree ..bless you....![]()
