I do not consider functional jewlry a sin as long as it is not flashy to draw attention or as long as it isn't costly.

Do you feel it's a sin ?

Do you feel it's not a sin but should still be a standard ?


If you are OR you was a pastor, what would be your rule on this ?
YES - it's a sin

and any woman who doesnt get that mess waxed off is going to hell!

Jewelry, flashy, costly, or otherwise, isn't mentioned as being a sin in the Bible, yet it's preached as such. I have no idea where that teaching came from.

The Bible says that one must not mar the corners of one's beard. The passage seems to suggest that men wearing beards was the norm. Maybe it's a sin for men not to have a beard.

What about costly array?

I think the no-facial hair stance has done great damage to the presumpton of biblically-based references for establishing outward appearances.

It seems to be fuel for those who that want to say how crazy it is to listen to folks that actually believe outward appearances matter.

Occassionally, it is kind of fun to see the squirmming when a person who is attempting to be both:
1. a no-face hair advocate
and
2.heralding M/F distinction

I do not wear face hair solely for one reason; I do not want to be a stumblingblock for my weaker brethren.

The local pastorate has (over the last 7-10 years) become very very accomodating of those who choose such outward appearances but the platform has no representation of such.

What would you define as functional jewelery.
