Of course, I believe all of Paul words, proper understanding might be another thing though.

I know in Tim 2 it says costly apparel while in peter just mentions apparel, I missed your greek lesson on it, so how is adorning with close ok again?

For the record, My wife and I do not wear jewelry, well she does wear a bracelet that tells time, but I wear nothing. I just looking at this subject from all angles.


You didn't answer my question about if sinners will be outside the NJ city? Do you believe earth will be burnt up before the NJ city comes??

People that use type/shadows to make literal applications to the nth degree are confounding. Most people believe the Temple spoke of how the Kingdom of God comes in servant clothes, the riches are to be discovered.... or that the beauty of the inside is in the Temple... But when someone uses a metaphorical type/shadow without biblical instruction to demand we wear clothes like badger skins, I can't help but chuckle. The only use of our bodies as the temple are from Paul who spoke against those who were giving their bodies over to sexual immorality --- he reminded them that they are the living, breathing, temples where God wants to live and that flagrant sin is not appropriate (of course he also used the "temple of God" analogy corporately in another setting, not individually).

Using the Temple of God analogies to talk about how we should be plain on the outside really is done with poor Biblical interpretation and is unfortunate.

And I should remind you that the Kingdom of God is no longer badger skins, but a bright-shining city set upon a hill (just to update the word-picture), the Kingdom of God is the New Jerusalem coming down from above, a shining city whose builder and maker is God. Like our redemptions, that city is both now and later.
