  • What is God's word when it comes to collecting toenails?

    Let's say that someone has been collecting toenails for the past 20 or so years of his life but also wants to be saved when the rapture comes. Would having a toenail collection be considered a sin? My friend has been doing this habit but also wants to be saved. If a good pastor or someone knowledgable in True Christian science can tell me what the word is for this let me know please? I cannot find any scriptures directly mentioning toenails.

    Blessings upon you Bubba - I see that no Pastor has answered you question as perhaps it is a little low on the priority list at the moment, so in the mean time I will take a stab at it. Unlike the cathylicks, we don't need a "pope" as we all can read the Bible (KJV1611).

    It's pretty clear that Jesus intended for us to clip our nails:

    Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;

    - Deuteronomy 21:12
    Since God gave us toenails we are to give thanks for them:

    Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

    - Ephesians 5:20
    Collecting them, on the other hand, does not seem to be mentioned anywhere in the Bible (KJV1611), probably does not qualify as "giving thanks", and borders on being perverse - or maybe even being perverted:

    But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
    Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

    - James 1:14-15
    In conclusion, I'd strongly advise your "friend" to get rid of his toenail collection and any associated desire to further "collect" them.
    Hell's foundations quiver at the shout of praise;
    brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.
    ...and get off my lawn

      I would only add to Brother WJB's excellent advice:

      Just to say that toenails (along with fingernails and hair) compost well, if rather slowly. So, if your "friend" adds them to the compost heap/bin in the yard, they can eventually be returned to enrich God's earthly soil.

        Blessings upon you both. I am most satisfied by your answers and I will be sure to let my friend know. Mayhaps returning toenails to the soil to be used as compost to enrich God's Earth is a way of giving thanks. I am glad you both gave such holy true answers! If you'll both excuse me, I believe I have to take care of something around the garden back at my house completely unrelated to this topic. Farewell!

          I once met someone who not only saved nail clippings but toasted then in a electric thing and who wanted me to become one of those weirdo Indian guru followers who meditate under blankets so no-one can see their technique.

          LUKE 11 . KJV . look up
          33
          No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.


          I therefore knew his light was not divine and that the guru was satanic. Incidentally the guru has changed his name these days. After toasting I don't know what happened to the toenails but he did switch cities to continue his witnessing which I tactfully ignored. Let's say he buried them. If by accident he removed an entire foot and buried that it could bloom into a dandelion or an apple tree or something like that and if he'd removed everything up to the neck and that was buried it could also turn into a plant. My point will need no explanation to True Christians but there may be other readers considering cremation. What happens on the day of Resurrection? Would the ash or the smoke be resurrected or in the case of dismembered persons do all the bits get resurrected? Like if that guy dumped the fat guru and turned to Jesus with one foot missing, as in the imaginary example, he would be resurrected whole. And if both feet were missing they would be restored too. If He were just a torso with a head he would get new arms and legs. But if he'd been chopped up, as some people are by insane mass murderers, and the biggest bit was a leg would the leg get resurrected with a new body? In one case the victim had been de-brained, one of the London mass murderers I can't remember which one, Christie? while another..Hague I think..dissolved victims in acid in his bath and then pulled the plug. Such an individual would by now be very thoroughly dispersed and the same would apply to cremated remains. So should Christians be cremated?

          Guidance from a Pastor would be very helpful, especially now that cremation is being promoted to conserve "space" or "save the planet" or something, particularly targeting Christians.

            I sincerely hope that anyone who contemplates the collection of toenail cuttings catalogs them meticulously, and rejects any examples without provenance.

            Wisdom comes down from God through the ages and one such Gift is the poem given unto a Blessed soul whose name has been lost in the mists of time, that is sure guidance when this all-too-common question is asked:

            Cut your nails on Monday, cut them for news;
            Cut them on Tuesday, a pair of new shoes;
            Cut them on Wednesday, cut them for health;
            Cut them on Thursday, cut them for wealth;
            Cut them on Friday, cut them for woe;
            Cut them on Saturday, a journey you'll go;
            Cut them on Sunday, you'll cut them for evil,
            For all the next week you'll be ruled by the devil.


            As there is no note at all that the said toenails have been carefully cataloged to ensure that all samples are "Sabbath-free", I have spoken with the other pastors and for a reasonable fee we can ensure the safe destruction and disposal.

            I suggest your friend approaches us with an open heart and wallet as soon as possible.

              My friend seems to have taken an unexpected leave of absence for the remainder of....his lifetime. In his absence I have decided to absolve him of his sin by handing over his toenail collection with the required payment to you. They seem to have some dirty residue on them but I am sure you know how to properly dispose of them. On another unrelated note, I am having my garden fumigated because of a recent Cathlick Tick problem so I urge all Landover residents not to come within 1000 feet of my garden for the next year or so. It would seem the infestation is rather....bad. On the bright side, Landover will soon be free of another sinner. I cannot say how as I have come to a confidentiality agreement with God but rest assured, God's work was done late last night on JesusWheel Lane.

                Sister, I think you are confusing John George Haigh, the acid-bath killer



                with elfin-eared, strangely fetal and perpetually puzzled British politico, William Vague.




                An easy mistake to make, but I have no helpful mnemonic for the purpose of remembering which is which.

                It is interesting, in the context of this thread, that Haigh met his final victim when she claimed to have an idea for artificial fingernails. I think we can all agree that she was asking for it.
