Girls, pierce your face so your future husband's servants may put earrings on it! -
10-09-2013, 06:42 PM
Today's proposals are a little bland. Your father finds a suitable husband for you, tells you that you will marry him, and then it's off to wedded bliss. It's fine, but how is betrothment described in the Bible?
Let Genesis 24 be your guide! When Abraham wanted a wife for Isaac, he sent his servant out to find a girl who was right for his son.
Genesis 24:2-4
Quote:
And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:
And I will make thee swear by the Lord, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
|
So far, so good. A loving father wants what's best for his son, and sending servants to find a wife? What a terrific idea!
On the search, the servant could have tried speed dating on behalf of Isaac, or sending out questionnaires, but instead he did the one thing guaranteed to work... he prayed!
Genesis 24:12-14
Quote:
And he said O Lord God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.
Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:
And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.
|
As we know, prayer ALWAYS works, and as this story shows, it works FAST, because before the servant was even done praying, Rebekah showed up!
Genesis 24:15
Quote:
And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
|
PRAISE!
Anyway, there was some drawing of water and conversation, some jewelry was brought out, and of course some worshiping of the Lord (Genesis 24:26).
Rebekah fetched her brother Laban, feet were washed, there was a recounting of the story so far, and the servant made sure to state to Laban that Rebekah was a virgin (Genesis 24:43) so this was all brought about by the Lord.
Yada yada yada...
Genesis 24:47
Quote:
And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, the daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.
|
Right there in black and white! The PROPER way to get engaged is for a servant to put an earring upon your face! Some sources say it was a nose ring, and that is upon the face so you CAN get a nose piercing and be biblical! In fact, it's more biblical than an engagement ring on the finger!

I would like to point out that this does NOT contradict 1 Timothy 2:9!
Quote:
In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array
|
I've highlighted the appropriate words. You are NOT adorning yourself, the servant is adorning you for your future husband! Now, if you were to remove the earrings and bracelets then put them back on yourself, you would then become a shameless whore.

Very good point, Mrs. Whitford! Thank you for clarifying that issue. There are so many God-haters who claim that the Bible contradicts itself, it's good to show that the Bible is 100% perfect.

let me revise that, they are indeed servants but given that the word servant in the bible often refers to both a free paid servant and a slave that man could have also been a slave

Your point? It's already clear that America started becoming a totalitarian communist failed nation when my freedom to own a slave was forcibly removed.

I was at a mall in Des Moines this morning handing out Brother Jack Chick's tracts warning about the truth of Satan's Birthday, Halloween, when I saw a young woman with a nose ring. I congratulated her on her upcoming nuptuals and she looked at me like I was crazy.
Fortunately she had a "smart" phone and I grabbed it from her and brought up this thread, admittedly a little shocked that the devil didn't make the Obama administration block it.
After going through the post then showing her that those passages truly are in the Bible, I passed her one of the tracts. Upon finishing, she looked up with tears in her eyes and said she didn't want to burn in hell. Singing hallelujahs, we packed her into the car and drove her to the church.
Friends, this lost soul is now being ministered to by a half dozen pastors and deacons! PRAISE JESUS, another soul is saved!

Amazing how Jesus can recruit people to Him as fast as that!
Now please tell me...I want to go get Annabeth and Sarah pierced up for the future, but I can't seem to find a piercing place that isn't part of a tattoo parlor (Leviticus 19:28 clearly states that they are bad) and I don't want George's little girls to be influenced. I found another place called Claire's that also does piercings, but one look inside the store and I was pretty sure it was for feminists. Where should I take them?

Some of the white girls in America like to pierce their noses and put a thing in their nose. There are several of them who are active in Black Lives Matter. I do not care for girls who have a thing in their nose. I can not approve of this idea.

I'm sorry, friend, but I'm not familiar with many businesses that operate outside of Freehold. Have you tried Hobby Lobby?

Hobby Lobby doesn't have piercings, but they do sell things like scissors and pins. Maybe if were cautious, do you think we could do some at-home piercing?

Sure, but I'd keep a faith healer's number ready in case you get an infection.

It's not about "true love". It's about becoming saved by bearing children and bringing soldiers for God.

Where do you find "true love" in the Holy Bible? I'll give you a hint, it's not about " romance." You should find Landover Baptist Church Guidebook for Betrothal and Marriage a wonderful, Biblical resource for all your marriage questions.
Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.

You find it by reading and obeying the Bible. It's really not that complex of an idea, is it? I mean, even a woman can understand that!
