Who or What Defines Beauty Standards
1 Peter 3:3-4 (English Standard Version) “Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious.”
1 Samuel 16:7 (English Standard Version) “But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”
SIN is the exclusive determinant of a person’s UGLINESS in the eyes of Jehovah whereas the antichrist promotes a carnal standard of beauty that is geared towards UNDERMINING the hallowed institution of marriage; by reducing it to a “horse & pony show” in furtherance of individuals selfish ambitions which invariably is naturally CONTEMPTUOUS of Holy Bible teachings.
The Antichrist relentlessly promotes superficial beauty standards as the perfect segue way to normalize idolatry and living APART from Jehovah’s Kingdom Principles; which inevitably manifests the spiritual UGLINESS that continues to subvert Jehovah’s plans for marriages as many succumb to Satan’s illusion of success that keeps them in bondage to sin.
We live in a world where idolatry (relationships, money and things) has preeminence APART from the standards for OBEDIENCE to Jehovah’s Kingdom Principles; as the path of least resistance when persons are seeking to realize their selfish ambitions as if to CONTEMPTUOUSLY believe that Jehovah can be MOCKED.
If EVERYONE subscribed to Holy Bible teachings and Jehovah’s Kingdom Principles with a fraction of the prevailing COMMITMENT they have towards idolatrous living; marriages WILL flourish as an ABSOLUTE NECESSITY as it was ordained whilst concurrently RATCHID singleness and divorces would become the exception rather than the rule.
The allure of worldly accomplishments at the expense of epitomizing spiritual UGLINESS continues to manifest the tremendous success that the antichrist is having at leveraging idolatry to keep a majority in bondage to sin and despair.
Those of us who are Holy Bible reading and believing Christians KNOW that as Romans 6:23 (New King James Version) says “ For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord; we recognize the folly of ANY accomplishments that are the fruits of living APART from Jehovah’s Kingdom Principles in spite of appearances to the contrary.
Seeking First the Kingdom of Jehovah and His Righteousness is undoubtedly the pathway for determining wise standards by which we ought to live as the ULTIMATE.
