i don't think a woman who gets implants has done anything wrong, especially if her husband pays for it. But I bet she paid for it since woamn now outnumber men in the workforce.

I don't think implants are the problem. I just think there are alot of lonely people out there that are now using church as a place to meet and socialize.

I went to a different church one sunday with a male freind and family man because our kids spent the night. after the service, we both were "hit on" by two single woman who just assumed since we were together, we were available. I was flattered but I this is the problem, not cosmetic surgery.
Lonely people , who even at church ,still don't realize that Jesus only can fill the void of their broken heart. he did mine. my wife couldn't do it. no person can do it.

I think they have nothing to do with religion and are purely aesthetic thing like make-up and jewelry.

don't underestimate the needs arising from "purely aesthetic thing[s]"
(and women's inferiority complexes!!!)

If there IS a problem with it, would you have the same problem with liposuction?

If there is no problem, and you are male.....we should go for a beer sometime.....

If there is no problem and you are female......we should go for a beer sometime as well.......
I think that it was Paul who said that everything we do, should be done by faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
If someone is God centered in all that they do, then much of what they do (especially large decisions) will be done unto Him (the Lord). Including make up, implants and the rest.

If someone is not God centered, then very little they do will be done by faith. They will find themselves struggling to find their self worth and value in God, and therefor be tempted to find it in the world around them, which will then govern what they value in themselves and in others.
By going this way the odds of attracting a like minded (similarly centered) person or potential mate greatly increase.
Like a self fulfilling prophecy, the consequences are inherent.

the fruits of (at least) 2,000 years of such "faith" can be seen through your contemplation ...

I believe that each thing we do to improve our appearance is rooted in the fact that we don't accept ourselves (not to mention others) as God accepts us.

Is it wrong? Ultimately, I believe it is; but it's just another symptom of our nature. To be freed from it is to have us all released in freedom and joy - and the world would be full of ugly people.

June just needs to state up front (no pun intended) that she is not a believer, and as such, hasn't a genuine clue as to how the Church, Christianity, or Jesus and "biblical teaching" would view or address this one. However, this much June is almost willing to bet her life on:

-That the vast majority of men, (Christian or otherwise) would probably have little difficulty coming up with sufficient doctrine, dogma, and accompanying bible passages in order to "endorse" the above in a collective "AMEN!."




(Which June truthfully wouldn't regard as a bad thing, on their part.)

We're all human.

I think people should be encouraged to accept & love themselves as they are-- that they aren't 'junk' that needs 'improvement.'

while I certainly don't see anything 'wrong' with wanting to look one's best, the trend toward pushing people to believe they're not acceptable as they are is negative and dangerous... and worse yet, these messages are being aimed at younger and younger kids
