You seem to think if a person doesn't 'act married', they are flirting instead. There is a way to just act like a human and a Christian without advertisement either direction.

As for questions, I believe I only asked one. Make that two. I asked if you've ever lived in OK or TX.
OK, Sis, sorry to hear about the divorce. You did ask if I was over 50, and if I was from Texas and if I was from Oklahoma? ...That seemed a little intrusive...So, I asked you a few, too.....All I implied was that "acting married" means not being flirtatious and conducting oneself in an appropriate, Christlike manner....Of course, people can flirt whether they are married or not married. Hey, Sis, let's be "friends" on here as much as possible, ok?

Have a good day.
You were the one who seemed a bit offended. I wasn't offended. God bless.

This argument that a pagan did it really is not a good argument. Using this verse then it should be wrong to wear fine linen.

Also it should be wrong to be a king hmmmm. Pharoah had chariots long before Israel had a king and chariots. We can look all day at what pagans did and end up walking around stark naked if we use this logic.

BTW Israel worshiped on the Sabbath. Pagans worshiped on Sunday. Therefore we should not worship on Sunday.

Does anyone think the high priest went to hell?
Exo 28:4 These are the garments that they shall make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a coat of checker work, a turban, and a sash. They shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother and his sons to serve me as priests.
Exo 28:5 They shall receive gold, blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and fine twined linen.
Exo 28:6 "And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and of fine twined linen, skillfully worked.
Exo 28:7 It shall have two shoulder pieces attached to its two edges, so that it may be joined together.
Exo 28:8 And the skillfully woven band on it shall be made like it and be of one piece with it, of gold, blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and fine twined linen.
Exo 28:9 You shall take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel,
Exo 28:10 six of their names on the one stone, and the names of the remaining six on the other stone, in the order of their birth.
Exo 28:11 As a jeweler engraves signets, so shall you engrave the two stones with the names of the sons of Israel. You shall enclose them in settings of gold filigree.
Exo 28:12 And you shall set the two stones on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, as stones of remembrance for the sons of Israel. And Aaron shall bear their names before the LORD on his two shoulders for remembrance.
Exo 28:13 You shall make settings of gold filigree,
Exo 28:14 and two chains of pure gold, twisted like cords; and you shall attach the corded chains to the settings.
Exo 28:15 "You shall make a breastpiece of judgment, in skilled work. In the style of the ephod you shall make it--of gold, blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and fine twined linen shall you make it.
Exo 28:16 It shall be square and doubled, a span its length and a span its breadth.
Exo 28:17 You shall set in it four rows of stones. A row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle shall be the first row;
Exo 28:18 and the second row an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond;
Exo 28:19 and the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
Exo 28:20 and the fourth row a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They shall be set in gold filigree.
Exo 28:21 There shall be twelve stones with their names according to the names of the sons of Israel. They shall be like signets, each engraved with its name, for the twelve tribes.
Exo 28:22 You shall make for the breastpiece twisted chains like cords, of pure gold.
Exo 28:23 And you shall make for the breastpiece two rings of gold, and put the two rings on the two edges of the breastpiece.
Exo 28:24 And you shall put the two cords of gold in the two rings at the edges of the breastpiece.
Exo 28:25 The two ends of the two cords you shall attach to the two settings of filigree, and so attach it in front to the shoulder pieces of the ephod.
Exo 28:26 You shall make two rings of gold, and put them at the two ends of the breastpiece, on its inside edge next to the ephod.
Exo 28:27 And you shall make two rings of gold, and attach them in front to the lower part of the two shoulder pieces of the ephod, at its seam above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.
Exo 28:28 And they shall bind the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, so that it may lie on the skillfully woven band of the ephod, so that the breastpiece shall not come loose from the ephod.

Yes but you indicated your wife would be lost if something she was wearing sparkled...are you serious? What about watches, belt buckles, hair pins or broaches?

Also my glass are not gold.
But do they look like gold? Do they sparkle or shine? Are you with someone wearing a necklace as long as it is not made out of real gold but brass?

So I want to know as I am sure others too...can someone wear jewelry as long as it is not made from precious metals?

Asking if you've ever lived in a certain state is intrusive? LOL!

Ok................

But since you didn't answer, I'm sure I know who you are.

they sure go through a lot to make themselves look good and I have seen some Really fancy dresses and hair dos

I wasn't the one making statements like 'It may see archaic and ridiculous to you' when I said no such thing nor implied it. You said that even after I said my wish wasn't to be offensive.

Anyway..........

Im saying, these were our biblical patriarchs. They saw nothing wrong with it. It was not condemned under the law. There is no inherit evilness or sinfulnessin gold or gem stones or wearing ornaments.
