Wrong again Jeffrey...you guys tried to force eating & talking into the same category as decorative ornamentation...which is laughable! Next.

Uh... Actually we were applying your logic that insisted, because of the word "NOT" being so "clear and plain" that context must not matter. But you later changed your mind on that.

We haven't forced anything. You have. Still not getting it?

Wouldn't eating and talking be more substantive than adornment? I bet I can find more scriptures references our conduct in eating and talking than I can adornment. But alas, I of course realize interpreting verses require a consideration of context, understanding what is being said and to whom and why. And when reading the word "not" in these passages, the only explanation is that he using contrast (not that but this) to support his primary point. Getting Deja Vu.

Nope! I've never said that we don't consider context. Simply another unproveable assertion from the Jeffrey bench!

Oh, I get it just fine. The Bible says not to adorn yourselves outwardly, but inwardly. You use eating food to erase that !
