My response was to Godsdrummer that it takes God to show a person that jewelry is not wrong. I was responding it was God who convinced me that it is better not to wear jewelry. I'm saying I'm a paradox to him. He said God led him away from believing this way and I'm saying God led me to stay believing this way. Is that more clearer?

Again a response to Godsdrummer that until people are openhearted they will never see the truth about jewelry but will always believe the traditions they are taught. If I remember in other posts he has likened it to brainwashing. My response was so unless people give liberty to the outward in his view, they are brainwashed and that the conviction they say they have is not true conviction of God? It was a question. Again its really heard to articulate the meaning of a statement (at least for me) on a forum when you are talking to multiple people while responding to a single person on their post
