Anonymous asked:

What do you think about a lady wearing black fingernail polish but dresses normal(not goth)? I was just discussing this with someone and we had differing views and am curious as to your opinion

Answer:

The short answer is: I don’t like it. I wouldn’t let my daughter or wife do it. Why? Sometimes, we have to set boundaries based on other principles in the Word of God. In this case, you pointed out that she would otherwise dress normally or not look like a Goth. Why would you associate the two? You point that out because you already know there is a tie between black nail polish, dark or black makeup, dark or black clothing and a certain segment of the population. That segment of the population is Goth and we know that segment of the population tends strongly toward Satanism. When I see someone who is wearing black nail polish, I think Goth. Sure, I may be wrong, but that is what I think. At the very least, I think they don’t know what they are symbolizing.

2Co 6:14-18 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? (15) And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? (16) And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. (17) Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, (18) And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

God is teaching us that there should be a clear line of separation between Christians and the worldly. We should look completely different, act different, talk different, etc. If one is wearing something that could associate them with the Goth culture, they are not very separate.
