(The Is 3:16 thing is a stretch, based on one man's opinion in a commentary. I dont know of any bible version that renders it as "painted eyes". Hundreds of bible translators have looked over that verse while translating the KJV, NIV,RSV,ASV, etc etc.. and none of these versions render it as "painted eyes", so why should Adam Clarke's commentary be taken as being more weighty than all these bible translations we have?)
So again, let me ask that same rhetorical question a different way... if the Bible has said Jezebel put on high heeled shoes, should we then assume that high heeled shoes are a sin? Or if it had said she put on perfume, would that make you think perfume is a sin? |
Don't care for high heels myself, they don't look comely, IMO. But I see your point, just because it says jezebel painted her face doesn't mean it's sin.
