As usual, you guys make logical errors. You can't deal w/ "NOT the wearing of gold," so you go to something that you THINK invalidates the rest of the passage??

I've "dealt with that" passage at least a half-dozen times in this thread.
Is that how you win an argument? Just keep repeating the same thing over and over and over and over and pretend no one has interacted with your claim?
Just again, so you can read it --- that "not" gives the passage a "not this, but this" tone, with is primarily used as a "for example" clause.
EXAMPLE:
"Let us be followers of Jesus. Not of those who attend services on Sunday, but of those who follow Him daily." My passage is not a prohibition on meeting together on Sundays, it's an exhortation to what is primary, real, of value, etc.
Imagine one of our letters getting abused as much as poor Paul's has.
