Tell you what, reread the story of God’s provision of Rebekah as a wife for Isaac in Genesis chapter 24. Note verse 22.

I disagree with your insistence that what God laid out here was sinful. And yet, if there is any merit to your assertions whatsoever, Genesis chapter 24 has to be sin.

No matter how much you focus on externals like fashions not common to your generation there is no sin in a nose ring.

Go ahead and invent all the additional man made laws you want. Exceed the pharasees and become an Essene if you want.

Don’t expect everyone to laud your imagined piety.

What an explosion of negative verbiage in reaction to one simple sentence on my part, which was: “Not in a favorable manner are they Biblical,” referring to nose rings. The most neutral thing I can say is that a nose ring is perceived as worldly and rebellious, requiring that the body be marked, which is not viewed favorably in the Bible.
