So you are yet another who insist that God sinned in Genesis Chapter 24?
The nose ring sent to Rebekah (verse 22) was really wicked?

As it happens, and as several of us have pointed out, this particular piece of jewelry does appear in scripture. In a positive way.

Contrary to you personal prejudices and contrary to the traditions of men you may have been taught modest amounts of jewelry are fine.

Genesis 24:22 “And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold;”

I don’t see a nose ring there.

The key is modest. Modest.

Is a nose ring in today’s culture modest ?

Why does one choose to wear it ?

The piercings and tatoos of today came out of youth culture, the “tramp stamp” and the tongue ring, both of which have sinful meanings.

It may well be that a nose ring could be worn in a modest intent, in which case it is fine, but we must keep in mind that it is better to err on the side of caution when considering what is fashionable, as “fashion” is a very common idea that leads Christians to live “of the world” instead of simply “in the world”.
