As opposed to the Harlot we read about in Chapter 17.

Rev 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
Rev 17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

Why does the Bible close with a comparison of two women?

Why did the writer want us to know that the harlot was decked with gold?

Why do people think adornment is not important?

If you wear Jewelry, are you concerned that the Bride of Christ was without Jewelry?

And for those of you that think I am only concerned about the outward appearance, is it just a coincidence that the harlot (adorned with all that jewelry) also was named as a fornicator, unrighteous, etc.?

I thought Jewelry was a deterrent to fornication according to the Geniuses that were posting on the wedding ring thread?

Last but not least, do you dress like the harlot or the bride? Is your spirit like the harlot or the Bride?

Looks to me like a bad spirit, an unholy heart, and a jewelry wearer go together.

Any thoughts?

Oh, you may not like my response, but so be it. I have known women who follow all the so-called standards that I would not give a wooden nickle for for their snobbery, their pride, and outright arrogance. The bad spirit and unholy heart is usually from such a woman. The sister who is godly in heart and spirit, and wears jewelry, that is the kind of sister I can fellowship with.

You know, these UC standards some have are really a replacement methods. They seek to replace the missing power of God with man-made rules they can take glory in keeping.
