Red Herring on your part. If you use logical fallacies I will spot them.

The people didn’t die in the wilderness because they wore jewelry. They died in the wilderness because of unbelief 10 times the Lord looked to see faith from them and all He got back was unbelief, complaining and, etc.

Secondly, Peter emphasized the inner over the outer man.

Sarah - a Godly woman - wore jewry, and I would e surprised if she didn’t wear makeup.

Third, just because Jezebel wore makeup doesn’t mean that one can use unbiblical broad brush strokes and say that all women who wear makeup are Jezebels.

Fourth, Paul never said just how long long is for a man. We all must do as God tells each of us and there will be differing lengths, based upon convictions.

I have not been fishing for years.

logic and fallacy very seldom comes in the same sentence.

I was just pointing out to you that the people who died in the wilderness were not believers so I don`t see how the fact they had all kinds of ornaments means anything.

Secondly, Peter emphasized the inner over the outer man.>>>>>

That is right, but why do you think he would be telling them that?

The apostles did not write letters for no reason at all, that is logic, what good is it for people to go to Christian gatherings just to impress every one? which is what Peter was most likely referring to.

Third, just because Jezebel wore makeup doesn’t mean that one can use unbiblical broad brush strokes and say that all women who wear makeup are Jezebels.>>>>>>

I can`t comment on that because I have never read about any unbiblical broad brush strokes.

Now any man should be able to see the logic in this, I and i believe almost any man likes to look at attractive women, short hair long hair even a shaven head, I do realize there are exceptions, well at least if there is some one around who might witness it

If we keep on looking we start thinking ,when we start thinking it can lead to more trouble than we can ever get out of.

And even if it don`t what is the use of going to Church if all we can do is look at all of the sexy gorgeous painted up women and wish?

If the Church audience is half male no one will hear the sermon because the men will be watching the women, the wives will be watching their husbands and the painted up beauties will be looking to see who is watching them.

Fourth, Paul never said just how long long is for a man.>>>>

No, and no one said he did, again since Paul was not at Corinth at the time logic tells us that he probably got word from some one who was concerned that there was a custom coming into the church that was wrong and ask Paul to address it.

And since Corinth was known for the worship of the goddess Diana it is easy to see that even people who did not worship her and even though they joined the Christian Church they were still hung up on her customs.

I look at it much the same way you do but, but I can plainly see why a woman should really consider what both Peter and Paul said and especially in Church service.

Yes we must work out our own salvation but we should not preach any Gospel except the one we can read word by word from the book.

And I suppose we all do that at times, but I still say we shouldn’t.
