There simply is not a mandate in scripture for not wearing jewlery.

And so on....

Sorry, but where I am from, the preachers preached out of the book concerning jewelry...and they didn't give us the "it just looks like the world blah blah blah" They gave us the WORD OF GOD

I'm glad to hear you do! I think folks have carried this wear anything you want to church trend is not healthy myself. Experts recently put out a report on the effects this has had on corporate America and they found it negative and many have gone back to a dress code.

To say that relaxed dress codes for church doesn't impact the way people view church is rather naive I think. To me it is respectful to give our best for Jesus, whatever that may be.

Even in the ministry, I believe that how people view ministers has been diminished by the way they have chosen to dress in unprofessional ways as they go about representing the work of God. Just my humble opinion!

I understand what you are saying and really it is not a big deal to me, JMO.

I wore suits and ties in a corporate setting for so many years I almost never wear them now. Khakis and sweaters, slacks and shirts that's Sunday best enough for me.

Ezek 16:8-17

8 Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine.
9 Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.
10 I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers' skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk.
11 I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.
12 And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head.
13 Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.
14 And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.
15 But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.
16 And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy high places with divers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.
17 Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with them,
KJV

If ornaments are so wrong why did God say I decked thee with ornaments, bracelets, necklace and even earrings??

Arise o thee thread and live! Live I say!

Anyone got more input on the above scriptures?

So how do you approach this from a pick and choose standpoint?

Do you say 1 of the 3 items is correct and the other two are not?

And how fine do you look wearing badger skins?
