What Most Preachers Don't Tell Us About The Holy Spirit

Having knew the thought of the Pharisees, Jesus seized the opportunity to give extra caution to them, and of course to us all, not to think the Spirit of God was like him.  The statement Jesus made on that day brought us to a realization that Holy Spirit is quite different — in fact, "far far" different — from God the Father and God the Son.

Bible Verses That Prove God Is Not Against The Use of Nose Ring

Bible verses about nose ring

If we are to judge the righteousness of people by what they wear, we will misjudge people like Elijah, John and Jesus in the Bible.


The look of most prophets in the Bible will shock you. Some don’t appear as people who live in luxurious places like the way our prophets, nowadays, put on nice suits with expensive shoes that sparkles all the time.


The children of Israel, in the Bible, were the people of God even though they appeared in an unacceptable way to the people of our generation. Their dressing style will surprise you if you compare it with what is obtainable in religious institutions today. The children of Israel put on golden rings. They adorned themselves with golden earrings. The shocking one… they used nose rings.

Don’t take my words for it, read the bible verses that reveal God is not against the use of Nose ring below:



1. "Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

I adorned you with ornaments, put bracelets on your wrists, and a chain on your neck.

And I put a jewel in your nose, earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head."

Ezekiel 16:1, 11,12 Nkjv. 



2. "Now Rebekah had a brother whose name 

was Laban, and Laban ran out to the man by the well.


So it came to pass, when he saw the nose ring, and the bracelets on his sister’s wrists, and when he heard the words of his sister Rebekah, saying, “Thus the man spoke to me,” that he went to the man. And there he stood by the camels at the well."

Genesis 24:29-30


3. "‘Take from among you an offering to the Lord. Whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it as an offering to the Lord: gold, silver, and bronze;


They came, both men and women, as many as had a willing heart, and brought earrings and nose rings, rings and necklaces, all jewelry of gold, that is, every man who made an offering of gold to the Lord."

Exodus 35:5,22 Nkjv.
