This is 21st century for crying out loud, gone are those days when we are in darkness until we have social media, the white men that brought Christianity to us will never ask you not to do what suits your life, it's only in Africa we count all this things, I have seen a white pastor that smokes cigarette, if it is in Africa that happened is another story entirely. I will conclude by saying do what suits you and that will not make you sin.

CuteMadridista:
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?

Any scripture to support your claim?

infact not to add these artificial things moderately is a disadvantage on ur part cos a man would be drawn to u first b4 he can knw u have d heart of gold (character). As for scriptures read these carefully; exodus 3;22, proverbs 1;8-9, ezekiel16;8-14, ezekiel28;12-13, song of songs 1;10-11. In some of these scriptures God was d one who gave the jewelries to his ppl including nose ring.
Another controversy is alcohol. For dis read Deuteronomy 14;26, colosians2;20-21, Romans 14;4 don't judge. Shalom.

Only Jezebel wore wear make up ( 2 king 9:30). No other women wore make up in the Bible. The bible never supported make up it

egodswill:
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...

do you speak in tongues?

egodswill:


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 ... Some show their breasts everywhere like Pof Pof for sale...

so you're actually looking at their breasts from the corner of your eye. pastor, pastor....

NO!!
The church has become Wordly and the World has become Churchy..

You just spoke my mind. Who defines modesty, is it dynamic or cicumstances related or places or time or people?

(1 Timothy 2:9 KJV) In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

If your Lecturer were to tell you come to class with your physics, chemistry textbooks; not with music, Yoruba textbooks.
What does that mean?

Then use that to explain the passage above.
I don't use make up and earrings cos of this and I'd rather get to heaven and God laughs at me and say Gal, "your own was too much" than get there and He says"Didn't you read this Bible verse I'm sorry you can't enter in". I really doubt the two much part because of what Jesus says
(Matthew 5:20 KJV) For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
(Matthew 7:13-14KJV) Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

You seem to be a sincere christian? Generally things that breeds doubts or confusion in our hearts as individuals are better of steered clear off.
Better safe than sorry!
In the kingdom matters Minority carries the vote! Be careful!
Shalom

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.

Makeup is for spoilt women.

Jeremiah 4:30 And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do?
Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold,
though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair;
thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.

Wow!! Where you get this from! Fantastic! Thanks for enlightening me further.

Moreover the full sentences from which making up is taking from is, TO MAKE UP FOR A DEFICIT!
Well many gals need to make up for their deficit, why some men divorce them or sue for deceit morning after their wedding (In little Emmanuellas voice"this is not my real face o". Lol�

I do not see anything wrong that a Christian woman does make-up and makeup, there is nothing bad in this, the main thing is to keep the measure. If you make up very vulgar and dress defiant, it is a personal matter of everyone, the main thing in this form is not to go to church. For example, my wife loves to wear womens bracelet made of natural stones with engraving, each bracelet has its own color and properties, More details can be found here https://braceletsforever.com/collections/fertility-bracelets It looks beautiful and original and does not cause negative emotions.
