God would be contradicting Himself otherwise. The whole volume of the Book must be considered. After years of considering this issue, that is the only sane conclusion I can see. |
Jewelry was not advised against in the OT, it was blessed. However things changed and so did the committment we are to have to Christ. Christian committment is forsaking this present world. This was not required of the JEW. They could have many fineries as long as they followed the law. Christians are compelled by the HG to drop fineries for a simple, modest, and fruitful life in Christ. However it is for the HG and spiritual heads to determine how far that compelling is to go.
