Wrong. I know the bible noted jewelry with harlotry, showing I ignore nothing of your argument. But in all your words, you refuse to answer me. I have explanations. Jewelry for SOME MANNERS is wrong, but not for all, and that means you cannot paint everyone who wears jewelry as a harlot, especially since the bible does not relate your distinction that claims TIME changed God's mind about the issue. lol What about Jesus' time when he mentioned the prodigal and a ring?
It's like you will argue for anti-jewelry stances no matter what.
Show me, then, why God used jewelry if we were meant to not use it alt all. You are hedging.
IOW< stick your head in the sand, and you mean you refuse to actually answer me.
With no more answers than today? |
Ho-Hum...here we go again. Mike, would you have aproblem if I showed up Sun. morn. to preach in your church wearing nose rings, decked in jewels, fine linen, badger's skins etc.? If yes, then drop the age old argument from Ezek. 16...since God will not "use sinful analogies." Then you should have no problem w/ my wearing these articles! If no, then you bigger problems than liberalism!
My original point was, & still is, that the 2 foremost NT apostles state in very clear terms that the wearing of gold, pearls, [i.e., jewelry] should not be practiced. Paul explicitly states "not with gold...." I mean really, what in the world can you fella's not understand about that? Ever heard of "Destructive Criticisms" vs. "Constructive Criticisms"??
Even in the OT God repeatedly demonstrates His displeasure w/ it ["put OFF (not ON) your ornaments...", Ex.33, Is. 3,
Hosea 2,
Jer. 4, Ezek.23,
Gen. 35,etc.]. Yet, you fella's just plod along like it's not there, & when you do address it, you have your eraser out "making the Word of God of no effect."
Sorry Charlie...ain't buying it!
