Do you know what the term "not" means? |
Yeah, we see that.
Do you?
I've seen preachers that launch diatribes against someone who wears a modest wedding band or a broach on their dress, while wearing a suit that costs 800 dollars, shoes that cost 500 dollars, and cuff links that cost 150 dollars, and more. They are fervently amened by wives with all manner of adornment in their hair (somehow hair, the only place where adornment is specifically prohibited in this verse, has become the acceptable only place to wear ornamentation), who are themselves wearing clothes that are vastly beyond the financial reach of almost anyone in the congregation. They look down their long noses ensconced in their luxurious mansions at the great, carnal unwashed and condemn them for being in violation of the same scriptures they choose to ignore themselves.
The HYPOCRISY IS MORE THAN I CAN STAND! (Yes, I AM SHOUTING)
I've observed the disgusting hypocrisy of this position for years and it sickens me.
