Question:
About guys wearing earrings—some of my friends who do so, use Exodus 21:6 and Deuteronomy 15:17 as verses to support their actions. So, should guys be wearing earrings?

Answer:

First of all, we’d like to make a few comments on the verses used to “support their actions”. In both Deuteronomy 15:17 and Exodus 21:6, they are talking about what should be done with a servant when they want to remain with their masters and families. We’re kinda hard-pressed to come up with any sort of analogy to tie those verses in with why it’s all right to wear an earring.

Instead, how about looking at Deuteronomy 22:5? “The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment for all that do so are an abomination unto the Lord thy God.” We truly believe that this verse refers to all aspects of both dress and manner. As far back as we can remember, earrings are accepted as part of a woman’s attire. Consider if you will, the fact that men are in most cases not even allowed to wear them to work (‘cept pirates in certain high seas applications). Why do you suppose this is? I don’t know about other areas, but in Chicago, 95% of men who wear earrings are either gay, gang bangers, or drug dealers. Hardly the kind of people a Christian should want to be associated with.
