Avon Samples: Sinful? -
01-05-2014, 07:47 PM
Wedgie Sue McLocklin comes this way every couple of weeks from East Rutherford to hock her Avon products to the good ladies of this area. Mother is on the fence about using cosmetics but Father gives permission as long as we stay home. He doesn't want us going outside looking like a painted Jezebel.
Anyway, Wedgie always has these sample products that she tosses about like salt on a winter road. I was wondering if it is wrong to simply stock up on those instead of paying for the expensive bottles of perfume and lipsticks; some of those lipsticks cost enough to feed a family of four. I am all about being thrifty but I don't want to sin against the LORD OF HOSTS in any way at all. Wedgie does deserve to make a living outside of her part-time job as a life coach to the rich and famous (one of her clients is Olympia Dukakis).
When my mother was young, she loved the fragrance "Roses, Roses," but she said it made her smell like a funeral home. Her sister liked "Sweet Honesty," but it didn't agree with her and sort of came off like a scallop or some other sort of seafood. Incandessence and Celebre are nice, but I'm at a loss whether they are age appropriate. Wedgie has tons of samples of both and they are easily squeezed into a bottle if you have enough patience.

Wearing a little make up for a young lady in wedlock so her husband does not look as if he married a pig is fine, I would suggest.
Any other reason would mean the 'woman' is a whorish fornicating slut who puts her words and deeds of sexual misconduct and filthy ways before Jesus.
Ephesians 5:3-6 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
YIC
1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
Revelation 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

The Lord richly bless you for your insight, handsome Dr. Niles.
How is your nephew's life-training going? I know you are striving to shew him the ways of Jesus in a world full of unnatural affections. Is it still necessary for you to personally witness his showers, etc., or has he become steadfast in prayer prior to such dangerous times?
I so admire the posts you've placed here; it shows the love you have for young boys and your desires for them to be soldiers for Christ.
I pray for your nephew daily!
By the way, Wedgie has Wild County samples for men if you'd like some.

To me there is nothing more pleasing to the nose than the God-given natural scent of a woman in all its glory that those cosmetic fragrances simply mask.
Quote:
Isaiah 3:24 (1611 King James Bible)
And it shall come to passe, that in steade of sweete smell, there shall bee stinke; and in stead of a girdle, a rent; and in stead of well set haire, baldnesse; and in stead of a stomacher, a girding of sackecloth; and burning, in stead of beautie.

I Kings 7:23
And he made a moulten Sea, ten cubites from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, & his height was fiue cubits: and a line of thirtie cubites did compasse it round about.
New here? Desiring to be pleasing in the eyes of The Lord and His Followers?
Then do as directed by our esteemed Pastors and head on over to the Introductions subforum and make your first post there, friend. Tell us what church you go to and what your favorite Bible verse is and how you came to find Jesus. Anything else you want to share with us about how Jesus has blessed you is welcomed too.
Are you a hater of God that believes He is a morally bankrupt monster? Read Why, you ask, is God so angry? to see that it is in fact you that is the monster that mercilessly and infinitely torments God.
Stop this relentless torturing of God and accept Jesus today!

I believe my answer to your question as to whether these Avon products are sinful in and of themselves and whether it is sinful to use them is:
Technically, no, but...
God judgeth the righteous, And God is angry with the wicked every day- Psalm 7:11

I'm not sure. God doesn't like adornment. I admit, I do put on a little make-up when I'm out searching for a good Christian husband, but not much - just a touch of lippy and a puff of powder!
1 Peter 3:3-4 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
Matthew 6:25-33 25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shallhe not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Luke 12:22-31 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. 23 The life is more than meat, and the body ismore than raiment. 24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? 25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? 26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? 27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more willheclothe you, O ye of little faith? 29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. 31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
