Is the wearing of cosmetics just a tradition someone started to attract men?

Same place colored shirts and fancy ties are listed?

Preacher came to our church.
Preached an anointed message.
God really moved.
A bunch of folks got the Holy Ghost.
God moved mightily. Praise Him!
Message in tongues and interepretation from the Lord.
Beautiful presence of God. (gloray!!)

But wait!!!!

The preacher was wearing a gold tie clip.

Adornment.
Pride.
How abominable.

Surely if he was a true man of God, he would know not to wear such a thing.
(Maybe he wasnt as anointed as we thought he was.)
(Maybe God really didnt move like we thought.)
(Did those people he prayed for get the "real" Holy Ghost?)

Hmmm.
That preacher is lucky the rapture didnt take place during that service... or he would have been left behind, for wearing that prideful adornment.
(Doesnt he know that gold tie-clips are a tool of the devil??!)

Shame on him!

Lord, open the eyes of these compromisers and backsliders right now, lest your judgment fall upon them like rain! (Amen.)

Just taking stabs at the air?

You had stated "Where does the Word tell us that the adornment with cosmetics is beneficial to soul winning?"

So I was making a point in regards to adornements being beneficial to soul winning.

Hair curlers? Sin... no purpose for a woman to curl up her hair... but PRIDE.
Gold/silver cufflinks? sin.
Decorative or fancy hat-pins? Adornment. Sin.
High heeled shoes ? Prostitutes wear those. Definitely a sin.
And DON'T GET ME STARTED on those sinful wedding rings!

I think the point was, years ago the same group that preaches "modesty" that some of us later called tradition, were preaching against certain colors, open toed shoes and other things that the same group no longer believes today is a question of modesty but was a tradition they had since gotten rid of.

Facial hair was or is not a question of modesty. It never was and it really is a tradition. It's not even in the UPC articles of faith
