Why did the Indians wear facepaint? Any ideas Word?
To annoy people like you.
It's not the same reason you wear it
They were heathens.
It was taught in the Bible to avoid these things because it was a conformity to the vanities of Babylonian society.
But since the elite women of this world are intrinsically a part of Babylonian gentry, well..
it is what it is I suppose
lain:This is one of those big pills that are hard to swallow.
The rest of your questions pretty much follow suit with the same.

How do you think God see's it?
What do you think
God thinks of a woman professing
to be a woman of God wearing face paint
smeared all over her face?
And changing the color of her hair?
And painting her
fingernails and toenails?
And decking themselves
out with trinkets and ornaments?
I believe that the best man can do is follow Christianity in a relative sense. If a person is born in a certain culture, than it is almost impossible to conform to everything taught in the Bible to live abundantly.
For example, a woman may have a hard time impressing society if she does not dress well and wear make up. And for men, they have to dress professionally and shave, wear cologne, have their hair sleek, etc.
These things to not conform, strictly, to what the early Christians were commanded to do, but at the same time they were not intrinsically a part of gentry. They couldn't even buy certain things or have jobs without giving in to the paganism of Rome.
What do you think
God thinks about this you have said to me?
I think that God understands that it is simply not realistic for Christian women in 1st World society to collectively not wear make up and dress attractively.
However, that does not mean immodesty is something excusable either. Women are still expected to not be provocative or inappropriate in the way they dress and make themselves up- some people want to 'black and white' the matter, when there is in fact a 'gray'.
Also, there is a growing issue of girls dressing/making up themselves as if they are women.
God sees them as holy and blameless. Colossians 1:21-22 KJV -
God especially loves painted toes
Hedonism is not holy or those thereof blameless.
I think a lot of this goes to the heart, to motivation/intention behind how we present ourselves. And while there's a great deal of difference between ballet and twerking, there's no shortage of people willing to see something ugly in the former, if only as a projection of their own insecurities or as an extension of envy.
And sometimes, it's just an Amish guy fainting over an ankle slip. :shocked:
