I am only saying the bible does not teach wearing jewelry is wrong, a sin or forbidden. I said that over and over again.  |
No i am saying he is stating advised against.. When you advise against something, you are not forbidding it but exhorting to not partake in it for the sake of another.
To me that is what paul and peter are saying.
I believe the Bible is teaching ladies that wearing jewelry is the wrong choice because it can take the place of adorning the heart. Not because wearing jewelry is a sin or the disobedience of this verse is sin; but Paul and Peter both stress ladies to adorn themselves inward rather than outward. In fact the outward is exhorted to be modest and plain according to some translations, with holding gold, pearls, or costly array.
Now if Paul or Peter advises against something, it behooves pastors and teachers to do the same. I don't buy the belief wear this and you are going to hell.
I do buy the belief we should practice modesty so that we may adorn the heart, rather or instead of the outward.
It becomes christian duty then to listen to what the verses are saying. I believe its wrong to ignore the exhortation.
