If the emboldened statement is isolated, it sounds as if one is trying please God by their good works which was why I qouted Isaiah 64:6 to show that our goods works without Christ is nothing.
I agree however that our faith is proved by our actions (i.e faith without works is dead). If we believe in Him and His word, we will seek Him diligently (No argument on that), but that was not what I was addressing. I'm not talking about faith versus works.
I was specifcally addressing the fact that someone can preach that wearing jewelry is displeasing to God, yet the same person says he is not sure if wearing jewely is actually displeasing to God? This is where I see inconsistency. |
Wearing or not wearing jewelry can never be the issue. its the matter of the heart behind it and thats what standards are supposed to protect. I could not wear ANY jewelry and still be on my way to hell. i could wear watches and rings and still be on my way to hell. Its the matter of the heart. Whats the purpose in wearing or not wearing.
