Here’s a more detailed explanation:
The 12-Month Process:
Esther, along with other young women chosen for the king, was required to complete a 12-month beauty preparation before being presented to King Xerxes.
Myrrh Oil:
For the first six months, the women were treated with oil of myrrh, a fragrant and aromatic substance.
Perfumes and Cosmetics:
The remaining six months were dedicated to perfumes and other cosmetics, further enhancing the women’s beauty and preparation for the king.
Purpose of the Preparation:
This extensive beauty treatment was a prescribed ritual within the harem, ensuring that each woman was presented in the best possible light to the king.
Esther’s Choice:
After the 12 months, Esther, like the other women, had the opportunity to choose her attire and jewelry from the harem before being taken to the king’s palace.
Reggie is a jealous eunuch offering advice.
You confuse advice with accusations.
Michele, I’m not condemning you at all. Cosmetics aren’t even banned in the Bible, although they are mentioned in a negative light. Isa uses cosmetics occasionally. I was just interested when Greg said they were mentioned as I wasn’t aware of that, so I looked it up.
You’re right. Condemnation is a far cry from an accusation.
She must often be associated with spiritual unfaithfulness.
The Word tells us that teachers of the law draw from both the old and new. What did Jesus teach?
Jesus said to FIRST clean the inside of the cup and then the outside would be clean as well.
How does one cleanse the inside but by the blood of Christ? Have you been cleansed from spiritual unfaithfulness?
From a non-Christian point of view, we cleanse the inside by not eating crap. We cleanse the outside by showering at least once per day, and brushing our teeth several times a day.
From a non-Christian point of view opposing a eunuch, this is how Greece cleanses the likes of you. Pay attention Reggie, we have. Edit for better clip.
All you need is earth and water Reggie.
That’s prideful and often associated with spiritual unfaithfulness.
We are cleansed from spiritual faithfulness through consumption of lettuce? What is your source or from which book have you drawn this conclusion and confirm your allegations?
That’s vanity, often associated with seduction.
No, Michele, we are cleansed from constipation through lettuce. I don’t need to be cleansed from spiritual faithfulness as I have none.
Proverbs 20:30 NIV Reggie
Blows and wounds scrub away evil, and beatings purge the inmost being.
You really just keep asking for it. Have you seen some of Greg’s videos when people are hostile and read his accounts?
You are asking to end up like Will . You keep denying God and presenting yourself as a problem.
There’s the solution. Pit yourself in the middle of people and trigger them . Greg risks himself. You are the one that needs it and keeps putting it off on others
Run your mouth to the people you insult here but do it face to face outnumbered.
You keep complaining about God not showing up if He really exists for you Reggie.
I have you the scripture right there. Now go out and walk by Faith. If He cleanses you of your filth and sin you know he exists. If you are still counting them go ahead face multiple attackers. They might stomp you when you are out cold or knife you and if you live at your health and age then you know Jesus saw you through on faith.
If you want to work with bruises or learn how to condition skin to avoid swelling, cuts, bruises then you can post here.
But you have the option clearly for you. It doesn’t have to be one of us or our elderly to take that beating for you. You keep asking for it.
Mark, I thought you told me you weren’t a Christian anymore.
So you admit, you are spiritually unfaithful.
Yes, I admit this.
So you wear make-up?
Me? Are you mad? Look at my photo. Do I look like I have makeup on?
Honestly, I can’t tell. Do you?
I do not use makeup. I have never used makeup. I do sometimes dye my hair when it gets too grey. Perhaps once every three months.
So your hair came between you and God?
