Dan, maybe I didn't express myself clearly but I agree with you. Wearing jewelry is not a sin but pride is and if you can't wear jewelry without feeling proudful, then don't wear it. Some folks would call it a conviction.

Eating certain meats can be unhealthy ... but consuming the meat is not a sin ...
Wearing pants or a skirt is not a sin .... it's being immodest that will get you in trouble.

Dan, did Paul condemn the man that didn't eat meat? But what if the man that believed it was wrong to eat meat went ahead and ate the meat would that be sin to him?
