Whether we slow down enough to get what God is showing us is the question. The point is, God got my attention and I got into the word. Understand I was not trying to prove anything was wrong, I wanted to prove to myself what I preached was right. I had to conced I was wrong. I still did not change the things I preach for many years but I did change the way I preached them. So I have learned from God not to be confrontational but to put the scripture out there and let God do the work.
Some times it may take some time.

Well, what's so funny is that I've been doing the same thing for several years now & am now thoroughly convinced that what we teach is right. I wanted to make sure that I wasn't teaching something wrong, as I would have to give an account if I do. I can honestly say that, according to His Word, God is against the literal adornments of jewelry by his people. By the way, who was the 1st one to wear "jewels"...while your in Ezek., perhaps you should quote that also.
Wedding rings are steeped in pagan tradition, & the practice was made a law by Pope Innocent III. Won't take the time here, but it's terribly pagan. And no, we don't wear watches either...before you ask. I, personally, do not like a neckties, but I see nothing wrong w/ a conservative tie, as part of a modest suit. The Bible only addresses "costly/modest apparel"...neither of which meager a necktie violates, but again, I personally don't care for them.
