Did they even ask Him? Being a Christian is so much more than just saying you are one. It's living your life, being willing to live your life, according to God's Word. His Word clearly states that your body is the temple (dwelling place) of the Holy Spirit-it's to be treated as holy, with respect, and as if it belongs to God-not you to do whatever pleases you in the moment if you're a Christian. It's not a popular idea and most Churches are afraid to actually teach it for fear they'll lose members, but it is true.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-8637656298362969292017-12-03T22:40:20.842-06:002017-12-03T22:40:20.842-06:00I kind of think that if God didn't want people...I kind of think that if God didn't want people piercing their ears in the Old Testament, He's probably not to thrilled with nose piercings either. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-34045040889915776012017-12-03T20:42:52.589-06:002017-12-03T20:42:52.589-06:003:13 Jazz is trying to change his gender.3:13 Jazz is trying to change his gender.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-1201657186553058402017-12-03T20:39:17.111-06:002017-12-03T20:39:17.111-06:009:45 OR maybe because you like how they look9:45 OR maybe because you like how they lookAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-987778687170479752017-12-03T20:27:03.763-06:002017-12-03T20:27:03.763-06:00Dude it’s not a real gem, that thing is probably f...Dude it’s not a real gem, that thing is probably from Claire’s Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-8689862861514389332017-12-03T15:17:09.991-06:002017-12-03T15:17:09.991-06:00To the Roman Catholic: Your church is teaching fal...To the Roman Catholic: Your church is teaching false doctrine.

Even if they say that is not the case or their intent, the very fact that they're promoting it says differently. Others who do not know God or His Word as well, buy into that and begin to emulate said Christian- buying said Chrsitian's books, paying to hear said speaker, learning all they can about said Christian's lifestyle (by watching said Christian's family carefully scripted TV show and family members scripted, rehearsed interviews). The viewer/fan is now emotionally, spiritually, and financially vested in that Christian /family, having bought in literally. When the Christian/family member/several family members prove to be less than the image the viewer/fan was "sold", they're justifiably angry. No one likes to be taken. Trust is broken-hurt, anger, suspicion, mistrust follow. If the Christian/family member(s) communicated why they suddenly deviated from the image they created/helped create and perpetrate, it might be different. The reality of reality TV is that the Duggars do owe their viewers/fans quite a bit- the viewers/fans have paid their way since 2014-births, weddings, trips to China/Ireland, honeymoons, etc. No viewers= no Sponsors= no TLC paychecks. No explanations for abandoning "standards/religious convictions" is disrespecting the viewers/fans who supported them and their show.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-68783406268305943122017-12-02T21:45:37.710-06:002017-12-02T21:45:37.710-06:00Anonymous @2:39- Sorry, but getting a nose ring is...Anonymous @2:39- Sorry, but getting a nose ring is pretty much only done for 2 reasons-vanity or trying to "prove" something/show the world something (attitude).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-31053389866799176242017-12-02T21:43:35.805-06:002017-12-02T21:43:35.805-06:00Anonymous @12:52-Makeup and hair color?

You're kind of grasping there trying to justify the nose ring...not exactly a good use of logic. I think the issue is the "why" behind the behavior- whether it's a nose ring, tattoo, makeup, hair coloring, or the clothes we choose. Are we trying to make up for something we think we lack, trying to draw attention to ourselves, trying to "prove" how individual we are by piercing and marking ourselves (just like the majority of the culture, proclaiming their individuality in the same sheeple way), or trying to make ourselves feel acceptable/approved by others? The thing/behavior is just a symptom of the inner problem. The outer thing/behavior doesn't fix the problem (actually it just announces it) and the person usually continues trying different things in an attempt to "fix" it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-82785802338256066512017-12-02T14:09:15.936-06:002017-12-02T14:09:15.936-06:00next I want to see one of them cut their hair!next I want to see one of them cut their hair!Beth-a-kneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834573610662012438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-39592657325273811872017-12-02T10:47:47.686-06:002017-12-02T10:47:47.686-06:00It’s a piercing!

None of us are the same at 16 and 56. Life changes us. As Christians, we are supposed to leave judging up to God. There is a lot of judgement in these posts. Christians come in a lot of forms and attend a lot of different churches. There are a lot of rooms in Heaven. Or do you think only your congregation goes to Heaven? <br /><br />Jill and Derick are following the beliefs if the church they are now attending. She’s doing nothing wrong.

St. Paul says that "if I have faith so as to remove mountains but have not charity, I am nothing.". Catholics do not claim to "earn" heaven by works, but we understand that as human beings we have free will and as such we have to cooperate with God's grace of salvation. It is not enough to simply say "I believe", we must live our lives as though we believe.<br />And Christ gave us a Church when He was here on earth. A Church to guide us and help us on our path to salvation. That someone would think that man can attain heaven alone without the help of God's church is boastful. He told the Apostles that "he who hears you, hears my Church.". That Church is the Catholic Church.

The daughters wrote a book in their late teens expressing their strict standard on their dress code and why they felt the way they do. Then they get married and now wear sleeveless dresses and pants and now a nose piercing. If I made millions off of loyal fans I think I would feel a sense of gratitude and accountability and would have the decency to explain the reason for these changes in my life. But they seem to have this attitude that says we don't care that we have all this because of your loyalty, we just dont feel that sense of loyalty back to you fans.

If your kids grow up to live by the Golden Rule, I think that's what's important. All the other stuff, like clothing choices or body piercings, are just superficial. The Duggars are catching more flak, because they made a very public platform about their so-called modesty standards. That's the trade-off with exploiting your entire family on a reality TV show- you open yourself up to the critics. I guess that's what rubs me the wrong way about them. I hope the younger generation wises up and respects their children's privacy by staying away from the cameras in the future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-89227881762274290542017-12-01T12:55:01.933-06:002017-12-01T12:55:01.933-06:00To me it just looks like one of those stick on pos...To me it just looks like one of those stick on posts, not a real piercing. It is up too high, most nose piercings are down lower so they can be cleaned, especially when new. And she would never be able to change her post with it that high. Calm down everybody.

If I was in the public eye like they have been and made millions off of fans watching mine and my families life and we professed to believe and live one way and I even wrote a book and sold it to fans, I think I would care enough about those fans to at least explain things as I changed like this. I would absolutely feel a sense of accountability and gratitude for all that I have because of those fans. But I dont see any of that coming from them. It just seems like they have attitudes that say, "we don't care what you think" I think that's the problem with them.
