Explain God's reasoning (one more time if you already did) in why He would use a picture that literally is evil doing to represents something that is pure and holy. What, your opinion, was He thinking?

Well, again you refuse to answer my question about "costly apparel," then expect me to answer your question [which we've already addressed]. BUT, consider the OT sacrifices....were they spoken of by God favorably? Of course! Would it be a sin today to go back & begin animal sacrifices in order to roll your sins ahead? Of course it would [see
Gal. 4-5].
I could marshall many, many more examples, but in principle, mankind was not the temple of God on the OT as they are today. A-L-L of the dwelling places of God on Earth have had the jewels INSIDE....NOT OUTSIDE of the temple. But, according to you, this has suddenly changed right Mike???? No thank you.
Now, I'm STILL WAITING on your response to my question about "costly apparel". Is it okay to wear such today? That is, would it be okay for me to wear a $1,000 suit to church?
Probably have to be Thurs. before I can respond...very busy.
