In order to answer this correctly we have to see what the bible says about it, and forget what our own personal opinnion is. That is why a lot of churches have been currupted is because some churches go off self opinnion and not biblical truth. Check out the following scriptures:

Proverbs 25:12

Lev. 19: 28- I have 3 fraternity brands, and even this scripture hit home for me. But it is what it is is...

Rom. 12: 1-5

These are the only scriptures that I know about this subject matter, if you find that answer in the bible than let me know, and do according to his will (don't ever deny it, confess, correct, and move on).

Job 42:11Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.

Ex 32:2
Aaron answered them, "Take off the gold earrings that your wives, your sons and your daughters are wearing, and bring them to me."

Ezekiel 16:12-AV And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head.

Personally, I don't wear earrings, but if you can wear them with a clear conscious - go for it! But if your conscious isn't clear and you're looking for someone to help convince you or back you up on this topic - maybe you should think about it a little more.

I wear mines all the time as well. Never had an impact on me spiritually and never stopped me from being able to hear God when he speaks.

I've never worn ear rings and don't plan to but I don't see a problem if guys want to wear them in church.

I've had an earing since my late teens...I wear it on occassion now, however, I don't wear it to church...just my personal preference. I don't have a problem with other men wearing earrings to church. I think earrings for men are more socially accepted at present day, so I don't see it as being an issue.

The reason I don't wear them in church is being the lead musician a lot of the young adults and children tend to look up to you. I don't want to influence any young person into doing what I may see as socially acceptable if the 'parents' of those children and young adults are telling them it is not acceptable while they are still living in the parents house. Just a personal choice for me...

We had a workshop about how to make christians look cool (because they always appeared to be these dull folks

)..SO, although it's outside my character to wear earrings, I try by all means to look

at church..

My other friend is on the 2nd pic here:

NEVER, jaux!!

It's funny to me how certain styles are unheard of and then just a few years later, it's the hottest thing. In the early 80s, if a guy wore an earring, he'd have the stuffing beat out of him. Then guys started wearing just one, now many guys wear two. It's never been my thing however. I also remember when guys wouldn't be caught dead in public with their hair braided, now it's the thing to do.

I'm sorry, but I'm just not a big fan of having any more holes in my ear. That's the ONLY reason why I won't wear one.

Here in the dirty north/south, now that I've moved, people are finally starting to warm up to men wearing earings.

GO FIGURE, we're always late to the party... $:-\$

When I first started wearing earrings, I told my mom and aunties I would never wear hoops (I thought they were gay)...I assured them that I would stick to diamonds. Now hoops are mainly what I wear.

momuzik · « **Reply #15 on:** July 29, 2008, 07:49:26 AM »

Earrings shouldn't make a difference; after all, man looks at the outer appearance, but God looks at the heart. BUT, if the church you're at has a dress code, you should follow the order of that particular house.

WoW..LOL.

I have played at churches that dont accept the males wearing ear rings. I could get bent out of shape about it but I just take them out and do what I do.

I can't do the hoops. I stick to the diamonds.

i wear earrings. I feel anything that pertains to your dress code should not distract folks from focusing on God and his spirit. It's cool with me, but we must present ourselves as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. So its based on your conviction and your conscious.

How come women can wear hats and men can't s the better question

Its an old testament thing i think. Women should cover their heads as a sign of respect to God. Men should not cover their head for the same reason.
