I have to admit, I don't know how to answer the scriptures where God seems to advocate the wearing of Jewelry. what do we say to this ?? I'd like to know for my own sake when asked about it
|
The only thing the Bible says about the wearing of jewelry from Paul is that we shouldn't be known by it, in addition to our hairstyle or our clothing, but we don't preach against hairstyles or clothing, do we?

I totally agree, and would never stir up problems in the church. That would be a sin besides.
However, there are folks out there who still think I should attend a church that believes as I do. *sigh*

Facial Hair
There is absolutely no prohibition against facial hair in the Word of God.
I usually have a goatee but a few weeks ago was a guest at an Apostolic Conference and I shaved the day of the conference so I could bring an impartation to the people without them being concerned about the facial hair. The Bishop there does take a stand against it - but I did notice no one in the choir had facial hair - well - except some of the older women!!!
Right now - I am facial hair free - no - wait a minute - I STILL HAVE EYEBROWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Should I shave them, pluck them or have them waxed???????
