I'm sorry, but God hasn't changed His view on gold and silver. SE and others like him need to admit their silliness on this issue.

Are you not aware that the HARLOT in Revelation is decked in jewels!!

6 "This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land. 7 I will shake all nations, and the desired of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,' says the LORD Almighty. 8 'The silver is mine and the gold is mine,' declares the LORD Almighty. 9 'The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,' says the LORD Almighty. 'And in this place I will grant peace,' declares the LORD Almighty." (Haggai 2:3-9)

I find it interesting that in the middle of God's promise to Israel that He would not only restore the former glory, but this glory would be even greater than the former glory, He declares, "The silver is mine and the gold is mine".

God takes pride in the fact that the gold and silver in this world belongs to Him and associates it with His glory. I think that my wedding band that has silver, gold, and diamonds in it probably pleases Him very much as He looks upon it and says, "that gold, silver and diamonds is mine", reflecting something that could only be brought into existence by the Creator of this universe!

Two words: I agree.

Wait! Two more: Well said.

OK, a few more words: You will NEVER catch a ring on any of my fingers. NEVER!!!

Well God must have issues or be really confused.....

Best to stay in the word, adding and taken from it can lead to teachings of untruths~

Rev 21, 18-21~

18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.

19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;

20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.

21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.

The harlot also is wearing clothes, but does that mean we should go around naked because the harlot has a wardrobe?
