You aked how I knew about the fruits, following commmandments and love.
These verses have taught me to discern the above mentioned things:
Matthew 7:16, "Ye shall know them by their fruits..."
1 John 5:3, "For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not grievous."
1 John 4:5-6, "They are of the world; therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God, he that knoweth God heareth us, he that is not of God heareth us not. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error."
1 John 3:10, "In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil; whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother."
I wanted to add that I read in another post how you and your husband love one another really inspired and encouraged me. Thank you for sharing that that was a blessing to me.
Is it a sin to wear jewelry & braid your hair?

Headcoveredlady, another poster, I think Ruthigirl, posted about the interpretation of 1 Timothy. It is you who have not reckoned with that verse. Also, you did not answer the passage that speaks of the way a groom adorns his bride with jewelry.
Bottom line is that Scripture forbids jewelry in certain circumstances and reasons, but not in every circumstance. There is a proper place for it. -
I have not answered her post because I have posted numerous posts that show what I beleive these verses say.
I hope I did not offend her by not answering her, but I feel that I have adequately explained my position. -
You are always thought provoking. I can't tell you how many times I've looked in the mirror and thought about some of the things you've said.
You have earned my respect. Not that that in and of itself means anything that anyone else would find of value, but nevertheless it is of great value to me.
In Christ,

I didn't take the time to read the entire thread, so I am just going to post my opinion and if it has been duplicated, I apologize.
1 Timothy 2:9 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; 10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
I do not believe it is a sin but women who claim to be godly shouldn't. -
