Thank you Pastor Bachelor. May the Lord continue to bless you as you share his word with boldness and humility. This jewelry thing has infiltrated our SDA churches like wildfire. Most leaders/preachers have neglected truth because of they want to share popular messages. There is a horrible spirit of confusion among us. Praying for a spirit of obedience daily.

I’ve never studied the teaching of SDA. When I first listened to some videos I understood everything believed all of it, except never studied the sabbath. Wow all I had to do was look at a calendar. Sure enough, Day 1 is Sunday. My eyes really popped out thinking about something so obvious yet so ignorant about it. I will be studying Doug & the many others teaching to reach my own conclusion. I have a good feeling in my spirit. The original seed of my faith was planted by my grandma 50 years ago. I’m so thankful to God for keeping me close even though I’ve strayed so many times. I pray those days are never more. Thanks to Doug, Mark Fox & other Friends teaching the Word in Christ.

alfonso ahumada I’m saddened to hear about your bro in law’s plight. The catholic church history is blacker than the darkest darkness. It’s blackness continues to this very day. The papacy is a rich & powerful organization ordained by the devil himself. I do believe the papacy is antichrist & is leading the end times. Go to lineage.com to learn about the history of Christianity & you will be hooked on their video series project. It was created in part by many young adventist Christians & inspired me to recommit my life to Christ. I’m still learning about adventist Christians & their belief system. My only concern is I am learning about Ellen White & how it seems their entire faith is built around her & I’m suspicious of it. Their practice & promotion of healthy living within the church is marvelous, but I’m concerned about finger pointing & “pure water”. To be honest I believe there is a lot to be learned from them, but I’m not sure about the stability of their church throughout the world. One thing is certain & that is the papacy re-wrote the 10 commandments AND no human being that lives or has ever lived has the power to absolve “forgive” sin. That includes all popes (called holy father) and priests called “father”. It’s pure blasphemy & makes me sick in the spirit.

I wear jewelry and I have never been convicted in my spirit to put it away, although there are several things the Holy Spirit has convicted me about. I really like jewelry, but I know not to make an idol of it. I remember having this beautiful Michael Kors watch. I mean, it was designed so beautifully that I would look at it on my wrist all of the time, all day long. I had that watch maybe three days and then I lost it. The way I lost it didn't make sense and it was so obvious that the LORD took it from me. There was only one other watch like it when I bought it and I went back to the store to buy it and it was gone. I could not even get angry because I knew why GOD allowed me to lose it....lesson learned. All glory to Him!🙏🏽🙌🏽

Ali apartmentgirl360 following what Jesus says is not legalism. The Bible says, ” If you love me keep my commandments ”. When you love the Lord you want to please Him out of love, not being legalistic. It is called having a relationship with him. Just like if you love a person you want to please them, I guess according to you that would be legalistic to please a wife or husband. People love to use the legalistic term because they don't want a relationship with God and don't want to please him

When I first was born again I attended a church that taught that woman shouldn't wear jewelry. I felt convicted and went home a threw all my jewelry away because i wanted to be pleasing to the Lord. Well, the Holy Spirit taught me a valuable lesson... But, it took me a few years to get it! I wasnt being convicted by the Holy Spirit to not wear jewelry. It was peer pressure that I was experiencing. So now...I live and walk my life by the Holy Spirit's conviction. If I don't feel his conviction about something...I can do what I feel with assurance that I am in his will. God bless

There is nothing wrong with wearing jewelry. He has not rightly divided the word regarding this issue. The bible condemns the WORSHIP of riches, not having them. Heaven itself is made of jewels and gold and precious stones. God created jewels. The bible does not condemn wearing jewelry, that is extra biblical legalism.

@Mmatsie Mofomme Here's a thought: Why don't you think for yourself? You read your Bible, do you not? Read your Bible, and see what it says. You can get FREE books and pamphlets, but at the end of the day, you don't need someone to tell you. YOU can read for yourself and EVERY church is going to try to make you think in THEIR way, why do you think there are so many churches, my dear, because they all AGREE??? You know that if you are saved by faith, you are saved indeed, and now you want to listen to a man who says works will save you? Why? 'Do this, don't eat that, go here on Saturday, don't were jewelry.....' Why do you need this, because he sounds like he knows what he is talking about? Because he wears a suit? THINK FOR YOURSELF. As for birth control, do you know who you have to speak to? YOUR DOCTOR. Your co-worker has her life, and you have yours. He opinion is her opinion, why do you care what she says? is her life better than yours? Please, get your jewelry back, stop listening to nonsense, and if you want to get AIDS, then don't use condoms. Isn't Africa loosing an entire generation of youth because no one protects themselves during intercourse? If you are a married woman, HOW MANY CHILDREN CAN YOU AFFORD TO RAISE WITHOUT HUNGER OR WANT? THAT should be your question, some YT pastor who sounds intelligent is NOT going to give you money to feed 20 children, or give you money to repair your spent and prematurely aged body after bearing 20 children. Let me enlighten you, my dear, THINK FOR YOURSELF, BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, NONE OF THESE YT PASTORS OR COMMENTORS IS GOING TO LIVE THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR ACTIONS, ONLY YOU! Believe in Jesus, you are saved by faith and not works. this and only this, is the truth. Read your Bible, and ask for understanding. Doug Batchelor and all his friend are going to eat nice meals, drive in expensive cars, and the fate of some poor woman in Africa is not on his mind.

A tale of losing the ring: My husband and I wear unobtrusive wedding bands. We are 3rd gen SDAs and none in the respective conservative churches we belong to wear rings. We are active in the church and serve leadership roles. So u could say we are going against the grain. We are plain in our clothing and shoes (I wear flats, no watches, etc)...some of the clothes I wear I got 20 yrs ago, but most are 2ndhand or someone bought for me...so all these details are to show that we do not take pride in our appearance. Our bands cost around $200 combined. A year after our wedding, we went island hopping. There were more than 10 islands that we went to that day. As we sat for dinner, my husband noticed that his ring was missing. Upon reviewing our photos we narrowed down the area where he likely lost it. It was not on an island...rather a lagoon accessible by a small hole under the limestone cliffs. My husband contacted the company who took us island hopping. They agreed but told us they should leave the main island by 5am and must come back around 7am so they could meet the tourists booked that day. Just a small window of time to find a small ring in the ocean. The boatmen were doubtful about our request: other swimmers might have come after us and seen it, or the movement of the sand covered it, or it could have fallen in between the corals. Also, it being white gold was easy to blend in the white sands of the area. I told the Lord, "Lord, it's just a ring. It's a small thing to ask from a great God. We're just puny human beings and this matters to us as a newly married couple. You can do so much and I know u can bring the ring back." Anyway, my husband and the boatmen arrived at the spot. It was barely daylight...so there was a problem seeing underwater (no hi tech lights) and also the area was surrounded by limestone cliffs. They dove for about 10minutes. Then the young boatman saw a sparkly thing...he picked it up...it was a coin! Beside the coin was my husband's wedding band. It's the most amazing thing that could happen to us. If I have doubts about God I just look at my ring to be reminded of his love, power and sovereignty. I guess u could say, we are not shedding our bands anytime soon.

All my clothes were bought at second hand stores many have designer labels however when I have purchased them I did not realized this. I bought them because they appealed to me thats all. The clorhes are plain, most have a tailored look as I do not like fancy clothes. However I have noticed in my church that many women wear makeup and jewlry and bracelets high heels without stockings, even very short skirts up to their thigh.. And this is a SDA Church! I have even seen a Pastor wearing cufflinks. I myself wear a small amount of makeup. Just a bit of powder and a very light touch of liprouge. The reason? I feel i look much better when facing the public. As long as your taste is not gaudy or loud I think this is ok. I have seen many come in with designer handbags.suits and shoes. And I know a very expensive piece of clothing when I see it. These must have cost them tons of money. Yet the church says nothing about this

@@marysanchez90 That is so true! The church should focus on teaching the perils of vanity and how to be modest. The minute we start itemizing what is and is not vain, it becomes easier for us to judge others and evaluate their spirituality - which is not what God wants us to do. I know that people want to wear their best to church but that should not distract us from God. Lets pray that in these last days, our focus will be on worshipping God and not showing off our earthly possessions. May God bless you.

Wearing jewelry was never apart of the 613 laws nor was it never against it. Listen in the book of Ezekiel.

@@malakiyahamari8448 Yeah Malakiyah, the bible is full of contradictions. That's why there's somany doctrines and denominations. Each writer gave their opiions as to how they understood things were passed on over hundreds of years. Quench not the Spirit. Recieve all teachings. Hold fast to that which is true. 1 Thes 5: 19-21. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. Rom. 14:5 But the anointing which ye have received from Him abideth in you, and ye have no need that any man teach you. But as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in Him. 1 Jn 2:27 God gives a lot of latitude. Just follow truely as to what you believe he is trying to tell you. He only judges against us if we know something is wrong and we willfully choose to engage in that sinful act. Sins of ignorance are covered by him. That's what the day of atonement was about. God is love. Ain't that great?

I've been doing research on this topic, and I've found that when it comes to jewelry it comes down to personal conviction. The reason I say this is because every time I've read in the bible about jewelry with negative connotations its because people have made the jewelry into an idol. Although I personally don't feel comfortable piercing my ears I think rings, necklaces and bracelets aren't much different from expensive designer clothes, an expensive house, an expensive car, nice watches, nice shoes, and loads of makeup. I think that anything that is excessive that comes between you and your personal connection with God becomes an idol. However, when it comes to jewelry I don't think the bible swears against it. There are instances when jewelry is referenced positively (Ezekiel 16), or when Abraham gifts Rebecca with jewelry as was the custom. In Adventist fundamental principles I know many do preach against jewelry, and my church included. For a while I thought: "man because it's hard to be rich and enter the kingdom of God, the best route is to be poor and dress in rags." Now I think that's ridiculous. So many times in the old testament God promises wealth and power to those who obey his commandment, as long as they put him before their materials. And the same goes with jewelry. Even money is the route to all evil, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna start boycotting dollar bills. A lot of Adventists tell me that we don't need jewelry and so its a sin; but it makes no sense when I see them replace that jewelry with cars, watches, and clothes: all things you use to adorn yourself. As for me, I see no wrong but I know many will disagree with their own convictions which is fair.

Don't think jewelry are necessarily sin on its own, but piercing may be, I can give you a bunch of scriptures that kind of support jewelry so I think wisdom needs to be applied here.. Jewelry were things worn by the elites in the olden days, like the kings and queens etc.. So don't think it was necessarily a bad thing or sin, may be was part of a way of displaying their wealth but don't think its necessarily a sin, there are a lot of bible verses that seems to speak of jewelry in a positive light. but like every other thing it could be misused or abuse.. I personally don't used it but I don't thing its necessarily a sin on its own

In my understanding, I believe it's a matter of your heart towards these things. The verse in 1 Peter speaks also about putting on of apparel and the braiding of hair in addition to wearing of gold. So, are we not to wear clothes? Of course not, our dressing should be modest. Therefore, if my heart is set on having 6000 pairs of shoes and a new outfit for every day of the year then clearly something is wrong and my heart is set on acquiring things. So, I do not believe a doctrine should be made on not wearing jewelry entirely and ignore the other items mentioned in the verse. We cannot be selective. If wearing excessive jewelry becomes a weight in your walk with God then lay it aside. The Holy Spirit will guide you in all truth.

Mauricia Carr Same can be said of stealing. I “steal” food because my children are hungry. My heart isn’t to be cruel to the owner. My heart is to do something good for my child. It just goes on and on for unlimited issues if we chose them one by one to question based on how we feel about something. Once we insert “our understanding” where there is a clear “thus saith the Lord”, let us be aware that it never ends up well. What is the function of jewelry today besides narcissism, or focusing on self. What is the purpose of an earring? Nose ring? Brow ring? Finger ring? Necklaces? Bracelets, etc. it is to “adorn” the body and to make self the focus. Is there any greater assault on God than to focus on me rather than Him? The day shall come when these things will no longer matter, till then, let us use our time and resources on what really matters, the precious Word of God.

I believe is your heart, your obsession towards something. Some ppl have on a simple earring and that's that they are not obsess with it. Reason being for me saying is your heart towards it is because some people are obsess with cars, house etc the bible speak about houses and cars but it is still wrong to be obsess over something hence the reason I said is your heart towards things of this world. At the end of the day let holy spirit be our guide and ask father God about it.

It is also interesting to note one of the judgments concerning Hebrew servants and having a pierced ear: KJV Exodus 21:5-6 "And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free: Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever."

The point of this message is simple. We are not defined by what we wear/ own. We are all on a personal journey towards the lord, wearing some jewellery doesn’t mean we won’t be allowed into heaven. However if we start to put what we wear/ own above the lord that is not what he wants. This is a wonderful message for the consumer based world we live in. Do what is right for you, and pray if you feel that what you are doing isn’t what you should be. God bless you all 💕🖤

@@jozanebryan503 I agree, but it must be the Holy Spirit doing the work in a persons heart. I have found in the many many years I have followed Jesus, He is gentle and works is in our hearts as an individule. I have know many Christians who look very "good" and even godly on the outside, but they are vicious, cynical and self righteous. They spend time measuring people up by their outward appearance, judging them. We are to be people who love God and our neighbor. Trusting God means that He is capable of speaking to an individule through His word on any given subject, including the wearing of jewlry ect. Because these are subjects that are sensitive to others we should pray for someone who the Lord places in our path, and ask the Lord for opportunities to share our own testimony on any given subject. Once we share, leave them alone to work out their own salvation with fear and trembling. If they come and ask questions, then it is obvious God has opened a door of sharing more Biblical evidence of the dangers of certain traps outward obsession can create in our relationship with the Lord.

From what I found.. Yes, the text seems to conflict with scores of other verses which condemn the use of colorful cosmetics and jewelry. Yet there is no real conflict if the context is considered. This is not a literal experience, but a symbolism. In verse 3, God begins the recital of a moving allegory concerning His people Israel. He depicts Israel being born illegitimately and cast into a field to die. No one washed the baby or cared for it. Then God passed by and loved the baby. He covered its nakedness and washed away its filth. He bestowed upon it love and every possible blessing. In allegorizing the material and spiritual blessings that He bestowed on Israel, God used a number of symbols which are clearly interpreted by other Bible writers. The “fine linen” of verse 10 is defined in Revelation 19:8: “The fine linen is the righteousness of saints.” The ornaments and chain of verse 11 are interpreted in Proverbs 1:9 as the “ornament of grace.” The jewel and crown of verse 12 are symbolic of “lips of knowledge” (Proverbs 20:15), and a “crown of rejoicing” (I Thessalonians 2:19), respectively. All the representations of highest honor, recognition, wealth, and beauty were incorporated in the allegory to show the unparalleled blessings which Israel had received as a nation. The symbolic ornaments of this allegory in no way mitigate the force of those texts forbidding the actual display of such vanity on the physical body.

This is an interesting question. There's really nothing in the 613 laws of the Torah that say a person should not wear Jewelry. I don't wear jewelry but I feel that is because of a natural progression of the Holy Spirit transforming my inward character. I would rather persons see my intelligence and the depth of my character than come across as superficial or flighty. However I think forcing non-jewelry wearing on a person who has not not been similarly convicted is not necessary. Paul mentions in Galatians the importance of the genuine transformation by the Holy Spirit that changes our behaviors versus some traditional Jews who were trying to have gentiles obey all the Jewish laws before they could receive the Gospel, and this is of course backward. It is the Holy Spirit living within us that makes us, through love, desire to obey God's commands. I've met persons who don't wear jewelry but have awful characters - easily angered, impatient, ungenerous, and so I know that humility in appearance does not necessarily mean humility in character.

Pastor Doug Bachelor is a good teacher of the word of God. I believe this question about wearing jewelry or not is one of motive and conviction. Jewelry in of itself is neither good or bad, just like money. It's the love of it (idol) that makes it bad. The (Motive) of the Christian's heart should be the determined factor if they should wear jewelry or not. Case and point, if we're wearing it to draw attention to ourselves to impress others, that's the wrong motive. If we're wearing it because we believe we need to wear it to feel approved by others and to feel better about ourselves (our Worth comes from GOD!) Not jewelry or clothes were wearing. If a (Man and a Woman) who's married! Believe that wearing a wedding ring is an outward expression of their love for each other by letting the world know that they're married, there's nothing wrong with them wearing their rings. If a believer in Christ wears jewelry because they like to, not love or idolize it. But wear it modestly, not to offend or cause others to feel less than. I believe these are good motives that God would be pleased with. I hope this blesses someone 😊

He also expects us to liberally and cheerfully give to the needy and to the Church. Would we not have more to give if we didn't waste His money on worldly treasures?

I refuse no matter who it is, i refuse to go to a funeral. Later I learned some of the things were either Nazarene or Jewish.

"well... if you have to ask..." then the answer is obvious. when I was about 14, a little cousin of mine used to come & visit. we had cows with an electric fence holding them in. my cousin would take a blade of grass & 'edge' his way closer & closer to the wire til the fence would 'bite'. he would shake all over... giggle, then do it again. people are like that in many aspects today. they want to see HOW CLOSE to sin they can get without getting "BIT". and while they're busy doing this... the light of CHRIST is in the complete opposite direction. another example: one sabbath morning, summer, 1978 at the fletcher SDA church in NC, the sabbath school teacher was teaching a class on sabbath keeping. one child... who was NOTORIOUS for mischief says "Mrs. _____, isn't it ok to go swimming on the sabbath?" I don't think so, she replied. "but teacher... it's ok to go on sabbath hikes?" yes. and if I stop to rest and dip my feet in the stream at the water's edge... what's the difference?" to which she replies "you are then doomed before you wake up every day". WHAT?! he says... "yes. because your obvious intention is to see how close you can get to sin without sinning. your focus is NOT on Jesus with that kind of attitude. it's on YOURSELF and YOUR PLEASURE."

I totally agree with you Pastor Doug and since we know the bible discourages the wearing of jewelry which includes the wedding ring, this biblical principle must as well be applied to wearing a wrist watch which is jewelry as well. And if we continue with a practice that the bible has discouraged, that is sin unfortunately. Let’s apply the principle across the board.

Don’t feel bad about wearing your rings ... it’s quite ok.. will tell you a short testimony... when I was getting ready to marry my husband ...I had been single and living for God for 10 years.... during that time I had picked out a ring I liked for my husband before he came into my life I told the Lord this is the ring I want for my hubby , moving forward when we were getting rings the ring I picked in private with just me and God .. He actually chose it unknowingly without knowing that I had picked that for my spouse in prayer !!!! Anyways God gave us favor on our rings in the store they had taken extra 40% off of our purchases that day and another promotion discount as well ... I told the jewelry manager my story of waiting in God and she hugged me!!!! And that is where the favor came in !! My point .. if God didn’t want me to get jewelry He would have made it clear !!! Instead He gave Miraculous FAVOR!!! Always ask God He knows what His word means!! Hope this helps !! God bless you !!

A tale of losing the ring: My husband and I wear unobtrusive wedding bands. We are 3rd gen SDAs and none in the respective conservative churches we belong to wear rings. We are active in the church and serve leadership roles. So u could say we are going against the grain. We are plain in our clothing and shoes (I wear flats, no watches, etc)...some of the clothes I wear I got 20 yrs ago, but most are 2ndhand or someone bought for me...so all these details are to show that we do not take pride in our appearance. Our bands cost around $200 combined. A year after our wedding, we went island hopping. There were more than 10 islands that we went to that day. As we sat for dinner, my husband noticed that his ring was missing. Upon reviewing our photos we narrowed down the area where he likely lost it. It was not on an island...rather a lagoon accessible by a small hole under the limestone cliffs. My husband contacted the company who took us island hopping. They agreed but told us they should leave the main island by 5am and must come back around 7am so they could meet the tourists booked that day. Just a small window of time to find a small ring in the ocean. The boatmen were doubtful about our request: other swimmers might have come after us and seen it, or the movement of the sand covered it, or it could have fallen in between the corals. Also, it being white gold was easy to blend in the white sands of the area. I told the Lord, "Lord, it's just a ring. It's a small thing to ask from a great God. We're just puny human beings and this matters to us as a newly married couple. You can do so much and I know u can bring the ring back." Anyway, my husband and the boatmen arrived at the spot. It was barely daylight...so there was a problem seeing underwater (no hi tech lights) and also the area was surrounded by limestone cliffs. They dove for about 10minutes. Then the young boatman saw a sparkly thing...he picked it up...it was a coin! Beside the coin was my husband's wedding band. It's the most amazing thing that could happen to us. If I have doubts about God I just look at my ring to be reminded of his love, power and sovereignty. I guess u could say, we are not shedding our bands anytime soon.

I am a Pentecostal man, specifically holiness/apostolic. These churches always preach against jewelry, yet most don't do a good job of going in-depth with their teaching. I understand the jewelry thing, but there are other issues that I don't understand (i.e. men having facial hair.) Funny enough, many of these churches will preach against jewelry, but will allow the women to practically be in beauty competitions with each other; beehives and fancy dress and such. The appearance may be different, but the root sin is still there: pride. Holiness is not something that we can attain on our own; we can't earn our way to heaven. GOD is the one who adorns His people with holiness! I am all for the holiness standard of dress, but if you're doing it to look better rather than trying to please God, you're doing it for the wrong reasons!

So wear gold and do yo0.u hair but don' Don't come to church just to look good and get peoples eye. Look good but let your light shine 1st and be Godly. Don't dress good only but be good or Godly. And will wear earrings but I wear the clip earrings and have no holes in my ears and do my hair and I wear nice clothes. God looks at the heart as well. I don't over do or show skin but I don't pick the plainest dress at the shop or wear heels. I'm saved but not a an old school mom either. I don't think God minds if I have nice things and look good. It depends on whats in your heart.

I agree with you. God sees what man doesn't. Like I have mentioned we are not less of a child of God than someone who doesn't wear jewelry. With all due respect people need to be careful thinking that jewelry is bad, especially quoting things that is not in the Bible!

Isn't making fun of Tammy Faye Baker considered a sin? If you are going to point your finger at someone you've got 3 fingers pointing back at yourself. It is said, "Remove the beam from your own eye before removing the splinter from your brothers eye. Um. Jesus scorned the hypocrites.
