Isa_44:13 The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house.
Isa_61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
Eze_16:15 But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.
Mat_23:27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
Rom_10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
The answer is simple.
It is from the bible.
It is NOT wrong to have beautiful features that other people find attractive!
You read that right.
Male or Female may have beauty. OUTWARD beauty that is.
Here are a couple of examples:
Joseph - Gen 39:7
Esther - Esther 2:7
However, women who trusted in outward beauty were rejected: Queen Vashti, Jezabel etc etc.
Also men or women who have "lust" for beautiful people or create "lust" problems in men are not good in God's eyes and this is breaking God's laws. Example: Results of Tamar, Results of David and Bathsheba, Jezabel and Ahab etc. Take lust problems to the cross.
People who are not "saved" may have -lust- problems. Some severely to the point of rape or even sex trafficking! So beware of what brews in the minds of men (and sometimes women). Ask their true convictions about what the bible says and whom they care about etc. Do they seem interested in helping the "disabled" people? Do they see interested in helping "themselves" to you or someone else?
Some people have trouble understanding that beautiful people DO sense "mockers" and "scorners" and things of that nature. Those types of things affect the heart and soul so their is NO point in making fun of the beauty in men and women. There have even been historical things where people did evil things to various tribes and minorities because of the "beautiful people" in the tribe.
Furthermore, it is OK to be "beautiful" in other ways.....like intelligence, simply serving the people with kindness, being brave, being thoughtful of others, singing voice, physical strength etc.
This is nice:
