Should Christian Women wear makeup, jewelry, nice shoes & clothes?
|
| It is sinful |
|
| Personal Conviction |
|
| Obey your husband in these matters..his decision. |
|
| A little paint never hurt the old barn! |
|
| How silly! It is not wrong, and is advisable for a lot of women |
|
| If I walked into work in cheap clothes and no makeup I would get fired |
|
| I am the Lord's Jewel, I don't need extra. |

I have heard many a sermon on how the money spent on makeup and nicer clothing could go to help missionaries.

Hello everyone!
1 Timothy 2:9-10
9likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, 10 but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works.
1 Peter 3:3-4
3 Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— 4but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious.
These texts are basically saying the same thing. Your beauty should not depend on how you look on the outside, but it should depend on who you are on the inside. I'm sure everyone here would agree with that. But I do not think jewelry in of itself is a sin. To be quite honest, I like jewelry myself. I'm not a big makeup person though. But I do like jewelry, probably like most women. But I do not depend on that for my beauty. Some people do. I'm sure you all came across women who wear jewelry all over their bodies like crazy. I see women with rings on all 5 fingers of both hands. I have truly seen that. I think that is what the text is saying no too. I don't believe the texts are saying, do not wear any jewelry at all.
Just like some of you said, tasteful.
Your sister in Christ Jesus,
Jessica

Long ago when M and I were going through some hard financial times I had to give up beer to save the money.
One day I came home and found she had spent a bunch of money on clothes and make-up. I was livid "You spent this much!!? You know money is tight!"
"But Honey" she said "This is all to make me look beautiful to you"
I said "That's what the beer's for!"
It was three days before I saw my wife again. After that I could see her just a little bit out of my left eye as the swelling went down.
(And of course the above is entirely fabricated. But the joke just fit so well here)

Oh John-O, Oh John-O, how you can love
Oh John-O, Oh John-O, heavens above
You make my sad heart jump for joy
And when you're near I just can't - sit still a minute!
I'm so.. Oh John-O, Oh John-O, please tell me do
What makes me love you so,
You're not handsome it's true, but when I look at you,
I just.. Oh John-O, Oh John-O, Oh!...

I've decided to vote that Christian women should wear clothes. I don't care about the rest.

...and some women can dress in burlap and turn heads.
I didn;t have a problem with my daughter wearing some make-up and as long as her clothes were somewhat modest...no problem. My wife thinks I am a prude but I don't see boobs hanging out as....cute.
Maybe its just me.

I know they got that from my husband's side of the family--they all hit puberty early.
it's an old song. I have no idea how old, but I think it was before my time. The "John-O" was actually "Johnny" in the song.
