OK. I need a guys honest opinion.
I just pierced my belly button last night. Spur of the moment. Now that I've done it
I'm starting to wonder what will good Christian guys will think. Its not like I got a
Tattoo. Just a piercing that can be removed. I love it. But if I have my way I want to
marry a guy who is clean and pure. Will he feel like I'm not?

I can't imagine a guy thinking any less of a girl because of the jewellery she wears.

Seems fine to me. As long as its just a stone the dangly belly button piercings bother me for some reason. I think its ecause the dangly part always ends up beind a dolphin or bunny and its just like please no more. But just stones or a ring is fine/attractive

If you like it, and your conscience is clear with God, great I think that a belly piercing can be attractive. We good Christian guys, are more worry about what is on the inside, I have meet some beautiful gal (physically) that are so ugly in the Spirit, I just don't want to look at them, or have anything to do with them. IMO just follow where God's Spirit leads, and we guys will take notice.

If you're properly attired, and not showing it off to everyone, then I see no problem with it.

I don't see any sin in it. However, if you were wearing a top that is showing off your belly button I'd think you weren't being modest. I like women who dress modestly and I think being revealing should only happen within marriage privately.

Like you said, it's removable. So if the right guy for you doesn't like it, just have it taken out.

So..I guess by the responses if its covered it doesn't matter right? Which begs the question why bother asking guys in the first place if they are never going to see it.

The real reason behind these things is to draw the viewers eye right? So is that what you want? Good Christian guys staring at or contemplating your navel?

I don't like that at all. Not that they're sinful, i just don't like the look. While i don't think every woman with one is trampy, i can't help but think it still looks a little trampy. When i see belly button rings all i think of is half naked pop stars on stage or women that hang out in bars or clubs. Minor of an issue as it may seem, i would likely not involve myself with a woman who had one. But thats my view, others will see things differently.

Thanks you guys! I'm not the trampy type who hangs out in bars and wears revealing clothes. I think I got it more to be happier with myself I guess. And Someday, if my future husband likes it, surprise for him and ONLY him. I don't plan on showing it off to the world. I got it for me. But if he doesn't like it, then I enjoyed now, but later my future husband will make me happier than a piece of jewelery. :)

If you'd kept reading you would have seen that she posted that she decided to keep it for herself.

I've thought about getting one just for me, but have never gotten around to it. Seemed less dramatic and/or permanent than a tattoo. It's been interesting reading what others think about it.

Scripture is clear on copying the ways of the world, be seperate, be holy, repent of all known sin and seek His mercy.. follow the advise of John:

1Jn 2:15 Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him,
1Jn 2:16 because all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
1Jn 2:17 And the world passes away, and the lust of it, but he who does the will of God abides forever.

What is the will of the father? to walk the crucified life, being a strong light and example for the world to see, living out an obedient faith to Him. Small price to pay as for what He did for you! His children are to be seperate, and modest in how they present themselves to the lost world, the churches today resemble more of the world than the house of God!

No way! I have my tongue, belly button, septum and two nose piercings! I don't flaunt them around, They're there for me and only me. My Fiance is a christian guy and he thinks they're cute. He says they show my personality, Peircings are all about you and how you feel!

You are going at this the wrong way. First of all, if you are a Christian, you should be asking God and not man whether this is acceptable. Who does your body belong to and what does it represent? You say that it's just a small thing, is it really? I would suggest that you get into the scripture, the answer is right there. Then, I bet you will remove it. How many things that are not acceptable to God are you willing to cover up? Cheers

I always find these kinds of responses funny. They obviously have a belief on the issue, they feel they're backed by their answer biblically. But rather than supporting their belief by posting the scriptures they tell the other person that they need to dig through the bible themselves.
I don't know, seems to me if you have such a biblical knowledge that you can say belly button piercings go against scripture, you should be able to provide said scripture yourself. If you have such knowledge, why would you not give it out freely? Why not help your sister out and provide the information she needs and the answers she's seeking instead of passing off the hallow refrain of 'go read your bible'?
