They aren't being LITERALLY exchanged. We still adorn ourselves smart guy. Women still brush their glory, shop for pretty clothing, groom themselves, make themselves smell good, vaseline the eyes, pinch the cheeks, look for colors that accent their eyes...
Christian women do not 'look for colors that accent their eyes' [if you're refferring to make-up, that is], since we don't paint God's temple [not that I expect you to understand that principle].
It's impossible to not adorn ourselves.
Yes, so long as it's not w/ the artificiality of worldly ornamentation....just as Paul & peter both stated!

First what does rdp stand for? Just wandering nothing more. I want to comend you for responding to everyone that post to you I am being complimentery just so you know.
Now I have a question. Correct me if I am mistaken, it is ok to adorn ourselves as long as it is not with the artificial ornamentation of the world? That just does not compute.
Women can still brush their glory, shop for pretty clothing, groom themselves, make themselves smell good, vaseline the eyes, pinch the cheeks, look for colors that accent their eyes...
But they can't wear Gold, pearls or costly array? I think you better look at this scripture again.
1Ti 2:9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety;
not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or
costly array;
How then do you justify the price of clothes women spend and I take it you must require women to put thier hair up in a skin tight bun, anything else would be sin by your definition of this passage.
Now I don't know if you pastor or attend a church that teaches against these things. I just know I was raised where the double standards were so prevalent, women did not cut thier hair but they permed it to make it look shorter. They did not wear makeup per say but then they would do other things to make themselve look good as long as it was not worldly makeup bought in a store. They would even pluck their eye brows and any number of other things. To me this is like Christian cussing. darn instead of damm, shoot instead of s--- , frigging instead of ... well you know what I am saying. If it is sin to say one thing it is sin to say the other. What I am saying is this either you live by all of it as you preach or you understand you are not understanding what the writer is saying. Simple as that.
You keep refering to the greek on some things then you want to come back to the english when you quote "not"
1Pe 3:3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of
plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of
putting on of apparel;
Again you make so much of the wearing of gold and over look the braiding of the hair and wearing apparel. Oh wait I know you have delt with the apparel, that is when you refer to the greek.
Well here is a news flash, if God is not willing to perish then he did not make his word so hard you had to be a greek scholar to understand how to be saved and stay saved.
