If 1 Timothy 2:9 is saying it is not okay to wear gold at all, then it is definetly saying that its not as okay to wear gold as it is to put on apparel.

There are only 2 ways out of this contradiction.

1. We can believe that 1 Peter 3:3 is meaning costly apparel instead of any apparel.
2. We can believe that 1 Timothy 2:9 means that broided hair, gold, pearls, costly array are all only as prohibited as putting on any apparel.

These are the only two options. Which one is the better option? I believe that since the whole new testament doesn't focus on the outward person and since jewelry wasn't prohibited in the old testament that option 2 is better and more true to the spirit of Christianity.

bump for rdp. What is your opinion?
