God would not do anything nor say anything remotely similar to something He forbids us to do.
So it is error to say people cannot wear any jewelry. It is the error that consistently would cause one to say one should always appear nude.
If people want to refrain that is certainly fine. Not all who refrain from this are legalists, but some are |
Good post MFBlume ,thank you
As one who associated with the no weddinring group for over thirty years I find it baffling how blind the eyes can become thru the observance of our vain traditions and the inability of some men to admit they were wrong.
