I am not sure whether it would be a sin or not to have those types of instagram where people post pictures of themselves looking pretty/sexy/attractive For exemple of instagram models: --removed-- Would it be a sin to have this type of account or is it ok?

It saddens me to no end that young girls want so badly to look "sexy" in very little clothing for strangers on the internet. I googled both names of these women and hundreds of pictures came up. Yes, they are attractive, but what does this mean to you? Why do you want to be those women? Some of those pictures are definitely ONLY for men's entertainment. You are aware of what some men do while looking at those pictures. Here is what the Bible says about beauty: 1 Samuel 6:7 = "The LORD does not look at the things that man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance. God looks at the heart." Proverbs 31:30 = "Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but the woman who fears the LORD is to be praised." Proverbs 11:22 = "Like a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful woman with no discretion." Now God is not calling a beautiful woman a pig - he is calling her a gold ring. But when you put that gold ring in the nose of a pig - you only see the nasty pig. The gold ring goes unnoticed. When women take off their clothes or wear very little clothes and take sexy pictures of themselves for strange people to gawk at - the true beautiful nature of herself is hidden. All that is seen is individual body parts, odd and fake poses, and hair/makeup that isn't natural. And those pictures serve a ungodly purpose. I know this isn't what you want to hear. I've taught many young women who obsessively take selfies of themselves and put them all over the internet. They are looking, in vain, for acceptance, love, self-esteem, and more that cannot be found in the heart of a stranger on the other end of the internet who is looking at the images NOT to give acceptance, love, and self-esteem, but to take, take, and consume all that can be taken from the images. I have a tremendous burden for the girls of this generation whose only role models are the Kardashians. This is not glorifying God nor exalting yourself in a spiritual manner. There is nothing wrong with beauty. But there is something terribly wrong and wicked with exploiting the body parts of women for lustful gain. And that's what these photos do.

The verses Jayne posted are a good start on what the Bible has to say on it. Also, ask yourself this: "Who gets the glory?" If its not Jesus who gets the glory, then its probably not okay. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISAIAH 3:8-10 For Jerusalem has stumbled and Judah has fallen because they spoke and acted against the Lord, defying His glorious presence. The expression on their faces testifies against them and like Sodom, they flaunt their sin; they do not conceal it; woe to them, for they have brought disaster upon themselves.

And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths. Gen 3:11 He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?” Mat 5:28 But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Man always fall short when it comes to lustful sin... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
