Ezek 16:8-17
I know you all have heard more standards theads then ya can shake a stick at but I am honestly trying to get a better understanding, so please help me out with the below scripture. Thanks
Ezek 16:8-17
8 Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine.
9 Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.
10 I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers' skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk.
11 I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.
12 And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head.
13 Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.
14 And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.
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.
16 And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy high places with divers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.
17 Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with them,
KJV
If ornaments are so wrong why did God say I decked thee with ornaments, bracelets, necklace and even earrings??

Because God doesn't have the same opinion about jewelry that some preachers have.
(from a conservative)

God loves to adorn His children; what else could anyone derive from this scripture???? He created jewels; how could He think they're sinful?

One prob I have with earrings is it's self mutilation, but I can't deny what Ezekial says "I decked thee with......"
I've heard it said that's speaking spiritually, but if so why would even use something that suppose to me sinful and vain to describe what he decking his people with??
Even the New Jerusalem city which is the church and now is, is decribed as being as wife adorned for her husband.

Abraham was a friend of God ... and he gave Rebekah, Isaac's young bride, jewelry as a gift ... and you better believe Sarah wasn't going to accept anything less.
