But you said before that "because "beautiful and earthly things" can bring out the natural man, which is an enemy to God." Now, priestly vestments are equally in this category with churches. I think that you're going to either have to make a distinction, or abandon one of the two claims, for they seem to contradict.

I'm more referring to the Pharisees who wore fancy clothes and openly worshiped by mouth just to show off. I meant no disrespect.
Understood. It's good to get the accusations explicitly out so we can deal with them. Do me a favor and get more explicit with your point. Could you please draw out the parallels more clearly as well as the ground of the accusation? Thanks.
