What do you think? Can we tattoo ourselves and put on all that body art? Can we pierce our nose, tongue and ears? How about piercing our belly buttons and other private parts of the body?
Since the body, as we learned earlier, is the temple of God, I think we need to recognize that we do not own our bodies. They belong to God. "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body." 1 Corinthians 6:19, 20
