The "overall context" regarding literal ornamentation is a hearty "NO" from God.

How come you are not answering why God would hate jewelry and yet use it in indicating his pure and holy love? You are making things up, dude.

So, I quote Scripture after Scripture, explain ad nauseum the visual beauty of jewelry as a proper representative of God's beutiful Mercy...yet, I'm "not answering" & "making things up"??? Hello...are you home?

You are ignoring the fact that Peter and Paul are not saying do not use jewelry, but rather do not make it YOUR ADORNMENT -- WORLD - KOSMOS. Did you read that in Greek?

And you're wresting the Scriptues to your own destruction, making the Word of God of no affect. For it says exactly the opposite of what you assert above...it literally says, "N-O-T- with gold, pearls,...". Good grief...this is nuts!
