I suppose that your telling me that I'm a typical "legalist/pharisee" is "mature" eh' Mike. What you require of me you yourself do not practice.

What were your words about not wearing of apparel? The argument against you has been that if you say not the wearing of gold means never any gold, then not the wearing of apparel means never wearing any clothes. What was it you said about that if you did?

The Greek text literally states "....apparell ADORNING." In other words, just as the NIV translation affirms [as well as others, but pressed for time], the apparell in I Ptr. 3 was referring to the ostentatious clothing. Or do you reeeeeally believe that God was telling folks not to wear clothes?? You equivocate on gold & apparell, which is a logical fallacy [no matter how Jeffrey may deride it!]. We have to take each article mentioned based upon its own merit. Greek text still says, "Not...the wearing of gold, or apparell adorning." Case closed if we allow the text to simply speak for itself.

Out of pocket for a few days.....rdp.
