[QUOTE=mfblume;992908]The text is not in error. lol. That is not the point. How many times must I say that God does not contradict Himself by using jewelry as a holy illustration if wearing jewelry is wrong? The context of Paul's and Peter's words must fit with that overall common sense thought.

How is God contradicting himself? In the new convenant ladies are exhorted to adorn the heart rather than the outward. How does that contradict God?

If jewelry wearing was so important and a non issue, how come we only have scripture saying a Lady should refrain from outward adorning in order to adorn the heart. We don't have any scripture that says if they wore it or not but it would indicate they did wear jewelry, based on Paul and Peter's exhortation for them to adorn the heart, rather then the outward. Another words it did'nt seem to be an issue till the writing of the epistles..

In your eyes my HG conviction is a straw argument and has no sense whatever. Thanks Mike, I now know that the voice of God I have yearned to hear and heard for a while now is a fake
