Also....why would God, who is pure, and without flaw, or bad odor for that matter, need to take a bath, and cleanse Himself, if He is already perfect, and has not marred Himself in any way?
He doesn't. God doesn't even NEED anything. He is already complete. We, as humans, have been deprived, and daily need renewed and need Him to fill us. What we need, God does not.

My first reaction here was sinful and in anger. I have taken a moment and prayed for peace and guidance.
I believe the reactions to the statements is based on us having sisters here who openly say they where makeup. Thus at first glance it appears you called my best friend insecure.
I will offer some thought and perspective. Do we not attempt in seeking things like employment to dress in attire that makes us look our best? Is that shallow and insecure? Possibly it is but the fact is people make first impressions. Thus we try to look our best for those important events.
I don't really ever wear makeup but understand why others do. Sometimes it's cultural, other times it's simply to put what hey feel is there best foot forward. Maybe it makes them feel good to hi light their eyes, which they believe is their best feature.
There actually is a thread about this. The one that lead to this one....
Here is the thing, yep God loves us how we are plain. Jesus loves us in makeup too.
It is a personal choice, I wear little knitted beanies cause they are cute.. Does this make me insecure? No it has nothing to do with how I feel about myself.
I seriously don't care if anyone objects to wearing it. I simply don't like assumptions about those who do being made. I don't think scripture should be used as not intended. Plus in my opinion it's not kind to insult a group of people who already posted themselves wearing and not wearing it.
the thread was intended to be fun, build confidence and the like... Or that's what I thought, I took comments as doing the oposite.
Anyhow all I can do is own my actions. I was wrong, it's not my place to say who posts what. Post anything CC allows and have fun. I pray in knowing Christ we can learn to keep from using our personal opinions to say hurtful things.
I was wrong I apologize.
I became angry and sinned.
Love you all even when I can't see your perspective,

I understand what you're saying RuthHannah and it's possible some of what you do say is lost in translation or meaning. And I also have to agree that every person here posting a picture -EVERYONE- have taken my breath away.
Quite frankly, I don't know what it is. Is it just the human beauty of facial structure? Hair color? The way the smile or eyes just belong to that one woman and no one else? Or is it something else? I think it's something else (and there was a period of thought between this sentence and the last). The light that was once under the basket but now lights up the room. The light that identifies the Brides of Christ - that's what I think it is. I kept on seeing it time and again, almost hoping I wouldn't somehow? I mean, I've seen plenty of beautiful woman with the right face, hair color, eyes, make up but without the candle behind the eyes. It's rather like seeing zirconium instead of the diamond. Am I explaining that right? Glass instead of the ruby?
Ahhh. Can't explain it. All I know is it ain't Bare Essentials making these women beautiful.

I consider makeup to be an enhancement. It isn't the makeup that brings beauty, it merely enhances/accents the beauty that already exists. To shame women because they wear makeup isn't godly and isn't Christian, especially since this thread was created to boost the confidence of women in regards to their natural beauty. I say we return this thread to its original purpose and continue to encourage women to see their beauty, rather than beating them over the head with our opinion on whether women who wear makeup are insecure and sinful or are vain and prideful.
