Would sunglasses be considered jewelry?
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob didn't wear them. Would Jesus wear a pair of Oakleys or Raybans? Is it wrong to pay over $100.00 for sunglasses? Is it wrong to wear sunglasses at all?
I've been in intense prayer and fasting to find an answer. Can you help me?
As worldly as owning a Jaguar ....

Depends on how much ya paid for them.
If someone pays more than 10-20 bucks for a pair they is definitely sinning!
Cuz they ain't worth more than that!:hypercoffee

Would wearing Oakleys be "following the trends of the world"?

Sunglasses protect your eyes from harmful UV rays. It's possible to harm your eyes from direct sun exposure.
Are expensive sunglasses wrong? It depends on your budget. One should never go into debt to purchase an item so you can impress someone. If your checkbook can handle fancy sunglasses ------go for it.
I would lose them and be horrified at the amount of money they cost and then I lost them. I have good quality clip ons, cuz us older folk need trifocals and the fancy smanchy sunglasses wouldn't do the job.
Is this an issue? Tell me no. Do pastors or saints spend their time thinking up
"standards" ?
off the wall, but true; there is a church that instructed their ladies not to use shoulder purses on their shoulder and then across the body....because it drew the eye to the chest area of the female.
On the rare occasions I cross the purse it's for safety..(purse snatchers etc).

I heard there is one Texas pastor who can vouch that none of his lady saints wear lingerie panties.

Costly is subjective case by case.... if I make six figures than $100 glasses are hardly costly.
Worldly, however, is not... what is worldly for one person is worldly for another. I find it hardly an issue.... there is a use for sunglasses and there are also those that use them for adornment... nonetheless an expensive pair of eye protection hardly seems worldly to me.

true story .... he preaches against them and of course he knows they will submit ....

Sunglasses also provide driver safety.
If you are kicking rocks on the way to Jerusalem it's not needful, but cresting the hill at 70 mph at 6AM during a commute is another story.
It is only a sin if you paid too much for Junk shades, quality sunglasses are a wise investment and good stewardship at almost any cost.
I recommend REVO.
Consider that many Seeing Eye glasses are expensive as well, should we forgo such an invention?
No.
Therefore why forgo inventions that protect the vision we already have?
We shouldn’t. That's taking care of the temple IMHO.

Brother, not trying to be sarcastic or belittle your post as you seem genuinely concerned. But I am always amused when these posts about costly array come up on these forums.
I think about the last church convention I attended and the brothers in their $500.00 suits and the sisters in their fancy dresses. (Not that I have a problem with people dressing nice).
If you have on an expensive suit, a $100.00 pair of Oakleys will go nicely. I don’t think God really cares what we have on when we worship .I doubt he will notice if you have on shades or not. If any one was really concerned we would still be going to church in overalls and a flannel shirt. (Some still do, nothing wrong with that either.)
I believe these verses deal more with man’s vanity than they do with what we wear. It’s difficult to compare our time with theirs. The cost of one of our outfits would have feed them for a year.
