A NEW LIST - Who's staying Who's Leaving UPC

[Thad]

Ooo My !

[Felicity]

I've testified about this before on NFCF but perhaps I'll just share this again understanding that I risk making someone angry.

I wore earrings for a while but haven't now for about year. Reason being that God convicted me of it while standing praying in a Sunday morning altar service. The altar was crowded with men and women. I lifted my head, opened my eyes and I looked at all the women with their earrings and jewelry and it was like God opened my eyes to see clearly the connection between all the jewelry and Egypt i.e. bondage, paganism and worldliness. I immediately reached up and took my earrings out.

I have to confess that I did put them in a few times after that but felt so uncomfortable and besides that every time I tried to wear them after that morning my ears would run. I don't wear them anymore.

I never did wear much jewelry anyhow, but I did like earrings. I think they're very feminine. It's interesting how the one thing that I really liked was the thing that God convicted me of.

I don't believe it was ever God's plan for women to put holes in their ears so they could adorn themselves in that way. It had to be something that the women picked up from pagan, godless nations around them.

First you say it was a personal conviction, then at the end you admonish the entire body about them.

What was that song about the same old song?

I find this to be rather duplicitous there Felicity.

How did you get a "public admonishment" from what I wrote?

I was simply stating what I felt the Lord showed me 'personally'. That's all.

It's interesting too Carp that the last time I wrote about this I got a big thumbs up from you. Now I get "you're being duplicitous".

I agree ... Rebekah was given jewelry for piercings by Father Abraham.

Yup but different peoples experiences speak differently. I know plenty of fine Christian women who are NOT convicted or condemmed of wearing earrings.
