The Arrogance of Women Who Wear Earrings.

Ziggy said:

I just hope folk out there understand that God looks at your heart not your blue jeans and tshirt..
I'd be in big trouble if that were the case.
I'm sure there's an argument about women wearing pants, but that's a whole other hive of hornets.
LOL

My wife wears blue jeans; I have given her earrings.

Great verse about the Lord looking upon the heart.

@Ziggy:

A Christian or not in the photo?

I really don't know.

But not incompatible with probably most Christians' idea of modesty and suitable appearance.

Wouldn't want to try.

There is an elemental, perpetual conflict between true Biblical Christianity and rigid legalism.

Not a good plan. Lol

I've only got one pair of jeans...I'm going out soon to get some overalls. Haven't had any of them in a long time.

1 Tim. 2 is God's instruction for earrings. Did you have an emotional problem there? Is Paul "attacking" people?

Remember, speaking about "earrings" is not attacking people. Speaking to the arrogance of earrings is helping them. Okay?

Thanks for your help

Your assuming all women wear earrings out of arrogancy. That the very foundation for them wearing them is to somehow be more prominent or elevated.
That's not the truth with all women.
Sure there some women that get all dolled up for notorious reasons, but you shouldn't put all women in that catagory because it's not true.

Maybe it's just me, but when I go to the store, which isn't very often, I never look at people and what their wearing.
I notice other things, like someone help another person reach an item on a shelf.
Are they wearing earrings? It never crossed my mind to look.
The person with a full carriage telling the person with a couple items to go ahead and get in front. Are they wearing high heels?
You got me, I never look.
I see what I consider to be the important things.
Not what kind of car you drive, but are you willing to not run over the person trying to cross the street with that car.

I believe your focus is out of adjustment.
If your always looking for fault, you will always find it.
If your looking for the good in people, you'll find that too.
I suppose it depends on what eye your looking out of.
The one that's light or the one that's darkness.

The earrings aren't attacking anyone.
People pointing fingers at other people wearing them, are.

I can't tell the spirit of a person from a picture.
Even though they say a picture tells a thousand words, I still don't know their heart.
I really don't know either.
And I wouldn't judge a person by the color of their skin, I'm not going to judge a person by earrings.
I'm not that carnally minded.

I like the way your sparkling earrings lay - what guy doesn't like earrings on a woman? If you don't, that's fine.
Without earrings, there'd be no Peaceful Easy Feeling!

Jewellery can be modest, or ostentatious. People put the dividing line in different places, depending on their cultural background.

Much of the jewellery I wear is made from semi-precious materials by artisans in developing countries.

Along with the overalls, I need a couple of new black t-shirts...to go with my white ones.

I don't usually cuss, but dam, I love your country!

It breaks my heart to see what's happening.

I love America...what can I say?

There is a bottom.
Those that know God's word know that sometimes you have to be humbled in order for the Lord to raise you up.
We been living high and mighty for awhile now.
I'm not talking about the Lord's people.
But we can see the results of sin, while other's are still blind to it.
The only way to wake them up is to show them.
It's hard for us because we see the suffering, we feel their pain.
We know there is a better way, If they would just turn to the Lord.

I get frustrated seeing what I'm seeing, knowing what I know.
And the more you try to give hope, the more they pull away.
It has to be this way. It's the way it always has been.
That's what the Bible teaches, that's what history teaches.

But we know there is hope. We know that the Lord is extremely lonng-suffering and merciful.
And it probably breaks His heart to watch us behaving so badly towards one another.
Maybe because his spirit is in us, we are able to share that heartbreak with Him.
Not that we are able to carry the burden of the world on our shoulders,
but we have the ability to help share each others burdens, and we are the Lord's helpers.

The Lord created Adam to dress and keep his garden.
Not that the Lord couldn't do it alone.
But that we could share in the fruits of our labours, while helping him labour for us.

I believe we are watching the season for the plowing of the soil.
It needs to get broken up weeded and turned over, seeded and fertelized.
If I was a garden, I would find that disturbing, all my roots and grass, my worms and microbes, all jumbled and tossed.
But the soil needs oxygen, like we need God's spirit.
And I believe what we are watching, is only for a season.

Mary, Mary quite contrary, how does your garden grow?
A lot of sweat and tears and even blood from a scratched knee or rocks getting kicked up from the earth.
It's all good, even when it looks all bad.

Trust the plan.
Trust God.

I wonder if you know just how right on you are.
Thank you, Ziggy.
God's spent 21 years preparing me for this hour...ain't no way I'm going to die!

Listen very carefully, here. Try real hard, now.

Women who go to the shops to look at and buy earrings to wear for the enhancement of their attire are not wearing the earrings spoken of in Scripture in honor of the Lord.

Did you read this? Was it simple enough for your heart to receive?

Kindly clarify for us if you would why your emphasis here is on the failures of women as if their failures somehow worse in the eyes of God than those of males?

"Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Rom 3:22-23

"Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:" Acts 10:34

"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." Gal 3:28

You won't die, because your rooted In Him.
The world may die and all that's in it.
Kind of like winter.
But there are seeds that are sown late in the fall, that come up in the spring.
And Life goes on.
The Lord taught us all we need to know in His little book Gardening for dummies.
Everything the Lord has created is for our learning how He works.
How a tree grows, bares fruit, whithers and dies, and sprouts new roots and new seeds from even dead fruit.
I believe it is in the book of Job, there is a list of.. where were you, and do you know?
And everything God uses to teach us is wrapped up in all of His creation.
Even as small as an ant.
Lessons are everywhere if we take the time to acknowledge them.
And apply them. Spiritually as well as earthly.
