1 | women can wear makeup (where found) | 1 Pet 3:3 | nissiangle | 113810 | ||
I think i put my question wrong. I need scripture where it is ok for woman to wear makeup. My cousin says it is not in the bible and woman should not wear it. He does go to movies and such and if I can show it to him then he will believe it | ||||||
2 | women can wear makeup (where found) | 1 Pet 3:3 | leabeater | 113811 | ||
Simply stated "painting the barn" is not found as an imperative in Scripture either way. You do have 2Ki. 9:30 where Jezebel used antimony (black eye liner) -- a very common makeup for this period. Jer. 4:30 uses the same Hebrew noun for eye liner. Here again, it appears this was common practice among women. Though the context of both these passage is not especially helpful to the "cause," nevertheless, it is not the adorning that is criticised. It is the behavior of the women who used it. These women made themselves beautiful "in vain." 1Pet 3:3-2 emphasizes where a woman's *focus* ought to be, not merely on the outward -- but on the inward. Now, the final passage provides "permission" in a rather odd way. If it is wrong to braid your hair, etc. then it is also wrong to put on clothes. The NAS handles 'himation' very well. It is not, as the NIV translates, "fine clothes." It simply means "clothing." |
