Christian women do not 'look for colors that accent their eyes' [if you're refferring to make-up, that is], since we don't paint God's temple [not that I expect you to understand that principle].
It's impossible to not adorn ourselves.

Yes, so long as it's not w/ the artificiality of worldly ornamentation....just as Paul & peter both stated!


But we see, in a Gospel way, that our truest beauty is that which is incorruptible, and that comes with a heart submitted to the cross. That's true beauty.

Yes, I agree. But a "heart submitted to the cross" knows the way of death to the world systems in exchange for glorification to God's system. That's the principle of Calvary [among others].

So... you are pretty close. But far enough away to fit your own private interpretation

Well, if ya' wanna' call my simply believing what Paul said in I Tim. 2, for. ex., then call it my "own pvt. interpretaion,"....makes no difference to me! I simply believe the Bible....oughta' give it a try! Look, I've got grown-up things to do...believe what you will....I'm sticking w/ the written Word of God. Busy man.........
