Make no mistake abou-dit, all artificial ornamentation worn on da people's body or clothes or in the hair, reveals a lost or cold inward condition. What you wear speaks a language.
Holiness preaching, should promote the sanctity of the Christian life. The careful calculated steps of the Christian journey. The most ernest desire in da heart of da Saint to please God. To become more like him.
These guys detract from the topic, they try to divert sincere hunger for the things of God. All I was trying to do was promote the quest to be more like Him by encouraging ministry to name ""every weight and the son that doth so easily besets' us.""
Notice, how some have tried to elevate the argument to the things the items that hold no value. To the Christian journeys. For instance there is no sin in jewels, gold or pearls, we know that. But these guys want to make us look ignorant, by provoking us to argue against. When all the while they know their wrong, it's Holiness or Hell
