Scripture?
There's no where it's stated in the bible that wearing of jewelry or makeup is wrong.If there is,I'll like to know.
What the bible emphasized on is modesty.


In a book where there is no law, there is no sin. Christianity does not have a set of rules guiding the lifes of his adherents. If it does then, i would be surprised as hardly is it practised.

They should first become born again and wear good and godly character...

After this, the Spirit in them will guide them about what to wear and how to wear it...

What we have mostly today as so-called christian women are arrogant, proud ladies, who hardly submit to their men, are largely worldly minded, dress half-naked in seductive satanic attire, and yet, speak in tongues... shocked cool
Re: Should Christian Women Wear Makeup Or Jewelry? by CuteMadridista: 8:25am On Mar 11, 2018
According to OP, makeup and jewelry wearing is okay as long as its "Modest". That word in quote is what my question would be based upon

WHO IS THE JUDGE OF WHAT'S "MODEST" AND WHATS NOT?

The reason I ask is because, what's "modest" varies from place to place and from time to time. the average Nigerian youths female dressing today would be regarded as a prostitute's dressing decades ago and what's regarded by majority to be "modest" in America today might be seen as immodest in Nigeria.

To give you an example which most Nairalanders can relate to. in the mid nineties when trouser wearing was just getting into Nigeria, a lot of religious people not only called it immodest but many infact called trouser wearing "Demonic". Today, reverse is the case as several churches allow females to wear trousers even when coming to church


my question again, who is the judge of what's modest and what's not?

Jesus Christ's death gave us liberty from the law.

....and gave you license to sin or wear ungodly clothes?

The law said thou shall not kill, don't commit adultery, don't bear false witness,.... Etc...
So, we are now free from these laws? So, New Testament is sin galore? Please, think again

Liberty from the law doesn't mean freedom from obeying God's moral principles, but freedom from the bondage of the law as we now have the Spirit in us to help us obey those laws...

Always work with the theory of conscience. .... .if your conscience never disturb you cos you wear jewelries then you're good to go. I don't see how that is bad though.

It's not a sin to wear make up or trouser but the manner which u do it might attract sin.
I like ladies that wear good jewelry and girls that also wear trouser but won't tolerate if the trouser gets too tight rather, modest.

Nice question... So, let's talk: how do we determine what's modest or what's not?

Today's, so called tongue speaking sisters dress like night clubbers to church and to them it's modest because it's the normal dress code all around... Does that made it OK?

Some wear outlandish makeups like the eyelashes they fix and look like owl grin... Some show their breasts everywhere like Pof Pof for sale...

which is exactly my point! if the society influences what people regard as "modest" then we have a problem cuz society simply dictates what's "Normal" not modest.

Google search of the word "Modest" states "(of a woman) dressing or behaving so as to avoid impropriety or indecency, especially to avoid attracting sexual attention."

if you really go by this definition then the only church with "Modesty" is deeper life and (almost) every other popular churches are actually allowing (read:encouraging) immodest dressing

LORD JESUS, I love the heaven you spoke of, but please dnt tell me how to get there.....


If the op had used the king james version of the bible, he wld have contradicted himself, therefore the devil helped him with some craftiness..... Bless be they who do not seek to correct the TRUTH.

For me,I believe everything should be based on conviction.
Your conviction would determine how you dress,act and all.
And as Christians your conviction would tell you when your dressing crosses modest lines.

I still wonder why does churches that don't allow jewelries use wrist watches. it is a form of jewelry. On the make up issue, it is cosmetics. They use scented soaps and body creams which are also cosmetics. They also do these to look good. If they want to follow their doctrine, they shdnt use wrist watches or even cosmetics. just baff with water and go.

That u are a Christian doesn't mean u should appear shabby and tattered.. U can apply make u, use jewelry and still be a Christian.... remember it is ur deeds that will portray ur being a Christian or a hypocrite.

speaking of hypocrites, I have an aunt that banned me and my siblings from entering her compound because we put on earrings and necklaces. according to her, d earrings and necklaces are what the Israelites used in moulding a golden calf ad god, so Christians are not meant to put Dem on. but taking a look at her from head to toe, she put on golden wrist watches and bangles that are even costlier than our 100naira earrings..... hahahaha! funny.but the question is, who is fooling who?

in essence, what u put on does not make u a Christian or a sinner, it is ur personal relationship with God and ur deeds towards ur fellow humans dat determines that.

1 tim 2 9. Says not merely with jewelries. You omited Merely.

It was not implying that you should not adorne yourself but more emphasis should be placed on Good deeds and character.

This scripture is misinterpreted just like the money is the root of evil scripture.

Ez 16

made my vow to you and entered into a covenant with you, declares the Lord God, and you became mine. Then I bathed you with water and washed off your blood from you and anointed you with oil. I clothed you also with embroidered cloth and shod you with fine leather. I wrapped you in fine linen and covered you with silk. And I adorned you with ornaments and put bracelets on your wrists and a chain on your neck. And I put a ring on your nose and earrings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head. ...
