The "context" was not the showy...which gold is!! Good grief, you guys are a trip.


I've never argued that Paul suggested people going naked, nor has Blume from what I read, but rather Paul is suggesting ...

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. 4Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.

Notice what he suggests rather than gold and clothes.... notice it. Keep noticing it.

Yes, very good jeffrey, I am "noticing" it. It says not to wear gold, pearls, or costly array...do you "notice" it? Context compliments the words on the page, not nullifies them as you try to do...then wanna' talk to ME about "hermeneutics". Puhleeeeeeeeeezzzeee....

Like I said, you have NO business whatsoever claiming any knowledge of hermeneutics. It's gross how you treat the text. The PLAIN "meaning" of a Text is only as meaningful as its context. Way to rape Paul's words though.

I see, you can somehow erase the plain words "not the wearing of gold, pearls, or costly array." So, Jeffrey, are we now free to be decked out in ornaments, w/ &1000 suits on? No....then to what Scriptures will you appeal, since we apparently cannot take I Tim. 2 at face value??? Then wanna' chide me for a lack of "hermeneutics."???? Toooooo funny!
