in reply to Matthew 23:24
Job 28:19
No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls:
for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
And of course pe(a)rls should not be given to the swines. I guess that means that only the wise should have them. It is clear pe(a)rls have a lot to do with beauty and wisdom and the ultimate that can be obtained.
Matthew
7:6
Give not that which is holy unto the dogs,
neither cast ye your pearls before swine,
lest they trample them under their feet,
and turn again and rend you.
13:45
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man,
seeking goodly pearls:
13:46
Who, when he had found one pearl of great price,
went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
I don't like the part where women are denied (or restricted in the way they may approach) the beauty and wisdom of pe(a)rls...
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;
2:10
But (which becometh women professing godliness)
with good works.
2:11
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
The rest of the bible talks in more incomprehensible ways about our precious. I keep wondering... did Larry go back in time and have some pot and write some strange things? So many funny things in the bible.
