Former Miss California Carrie Prejean: The Bible doesn't prohibit breast implants
Oh my!

Isn't there scripture out there that says we should treat our body as a temple. I'm sure silicone isn't one of the stronger building blocks out there.

Former Miss California Carrie Prejean: The Bible doesn't prohibit breast implants

Does God approve of breast implants?

Carrie Prejean has no doubt.

The former Miss California told Christianity Today that the Bible makes no judgment about boob jobs.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with getting breast implants as a Christian," she told the magazine. "I think it's a personal decision. I don't see anywhere in the Bible where it says you shouldn't get breast implants."

Prejean reportedly requested to have breast enhancement surgery "to be more competitive" at the April 2009 Miss USA pageant and verbally agreed to repay pageant organizer K2 Productions for a loan.

However, the deposed beauty queen found herself in hot water -- again -- last month after K2 filed a lawsuit against her, claiming she had not repaid the $5,200 it lent her for the procedure.

The lawsuit was eventually dropped, with both parties signing a private settlement agreement that releases Prejean of any financial obligations.

1. Maybe so, but the Bible does have something to say about lying.

6. WRONG! Acts 3:17
"And the Lord spake to Abraham and sayeth "Cause not thy women to fill their breasts with silicone, for it bears false witness and is an abomination."
She needs to study her bible.

8. Technically they are graven images,

11. That's ignorant. The Bible frequently chastises women for over-adornment
2 Kings 9:30 (NASB)
30 When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it, and she painted her eyes and adorned her head and looked out the window.


Jeremiah 4:30 (NASB)
30 And you, O desolate one, what will you do?
Although you dress in scarlet,
Although you decorate yourself with ornaments of gold,
Although you enlarge your eyes with paint,
In vain you make yourself beautiful.
Your lovers despise you;
They seek your life.


Ezekiel 23 -40 (NASB)
40 “Furthermore, they have even sent for men who come from afar, to whom a messenger was sent; and lo, they came—for whom you bathed, painted your eyes and decorated yourselves with ornaments;


1 Timothy 2 -10 ESV
Likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works.

1 Peter 3- 3-4 ESV
Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.

13. God hath spoken (spake?)
Filling breasts with gold and pearls: BAD (and they'd be heavy and lumpy too)
Filling breasts with silicon: OK

:hide:

15. yes but none of those actually say "Boob Job"
then again none of those scriptures actually imply men having sex with men or abortion so I guess it's just how you interpret your bible.

14. Breasts where none existed before
Don't look so good.... I have had a lifelong appreaction for curvy ladies - but the "Tupperware Tits" on a beanpole figure are not good at all.
Carrie should have hit the gym and enhanced her muscle definition and shapes. Why do you think the professional women on "dancing with the stars" look so good?

16. Maybe that's because the ancients didn't conceive of such a thing.
Maybe you should consider the fact that your little fairy tale book was written by a bunch of nasty, mean, lecherous old men...

Okay, maybe that's a non sequitur but that's what I think. :)

18. It also never prohibited homosexuality
The old testament stuff was about Baal rituals what were to praise false ideals. The new testament stuff was written by a guy who never actually met Jesus nor was prophetized in the new testament.

20. Matthew 3:6
"Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit."

She's so concerned about how she looks, that the lip service she gives to Christianity is merely that, lip service.

22. OH that's new testament gospel stuff - Republican rarely bother with that
else they would do everything in their power to create equality for all, end poverty and show a bit of mercy for others.
