You refer to Satan in Ezekial, again where did he get jewels? He did not get them on his own. God created him that way. You make it sound like God does not want us to have nice things. But God said seek me first and all these things shall be added to you.
As for paganism and tradition. many of the things we celibrate are steeped in paganism etc. The point is God gave Isreal Cannan but took it away when she sinned. was Cannan a sin? Same differance God gave Isreal jewlery and took it away when she sinned. this did not make it (jewlery sin)!!!!!!!
Be Blessed

The Biblical FACT remains that satan was lifted up in connection w/ his jewelry, & I'll also add that satan was not a sinful human being [as we are] either, but a spirit being. Now, pls. show where God ever once condones the LITERAL [not figurative language, such as Ezek.....which also mentions "nose rings" & God's "skirt" by the way...hmmmm] ornamentation of His people:_____________?
But since you're advocating satan's jewels, do you believe that it's okay for a child of God to be "covered" in jewels as satan was? If no, what verses prohibit this:___________?
