Plastic Surgery

[abbershay]

1Cr 10:23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

What do you think God would think of a person deciding to get a nose job or "fix" their face somehow?

I have a cleft lip and palate.

There are milions who want to look normal.

I think I'm not too bad...........but there are some who desparateley want to look ok, for their own self-confidence.

DoK in some cases plasic surgery is necessary for the patient to give them any confidence of living some sort of normal existance.

Please have the courtesy to reply to the answers that people have gone to the trouble to respond to your posts, before asking futher questions.

Oh dear...........I do that................(start lots of Threads off at once. The reason is: I don't have a brilliant memory, so I forget. So when I remember..............I put it in, before I forget what wanted to ask.)

yomo- I am just curious... didn't you get your palate repaired? Is it just the scars and stuff left, or did you just never have surgery to repair it?

I am taking a class in college about speech disorders and impairments- and that includes cleft lip and palate.

What is in a person's heart is a million times more important and powerful than what they look like on the outside. Some of the most beautiful people are also the most wicked.

theblessedlife,

In my opinion you don't need breast augmentation or any other women for that matter. Although I do think there is a place for women who have had breast cancer to have pastic surgery if they choose. It is very easy to fall into this trap of thinking one has to look a certain way or else they aren't good enough. This is a very good tool for the devil. He knows that everyone one of us is going to grow old and with this we lose our looks. He wants nothing more than for people to be consumed by vanity and spend much time, energy, effort fighting something that is going to eventually happen to all of us. For many people vanity will become their God, not Jesus Christ. Look at all the magazines on the rack the next time you are checking out at the store. You will see magazines with such crazy titles as "Self, People, GQ, etc." Everyone will have an attractive man or women on the cover. So people begin to think, hey this is what I have to look like, this is especially true for women and have major effects. This however doesn't reflect what is on the inside of a person. Some of the most beutiful people I know are not what society would call "hot, or good looking." Likewise, some of the most prideful, arrogent, and plain mean people are very good looking on the outside.

when I turned off the lights and looked in the mirror, my face looked like a demon's, should I be worried?

How did you find the mirror with the lights off? Maybe it was on optical illusion. People do have them you know.
