If beauty is only skin deep, why does the Bible say...?

Why does the Bible say to "let the adorning be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, [even the ornament] of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price" (1 Peter 3:4).





Is this the beauty that God acknowledges, and that will "inherit the kingdom"?

If beauty is only skin deep, why does the Bible say...?
It also says in the Bible that man looks at outer appearences and the Lord looks at the heart. God sees the beauty in our souls rather than the physical beauty that man sees in us.

Slay Old And Young





"And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and woman: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house." (Ezekiel 9:5-6)


Comment





These words, commanded by God, orders the slaying of not only women and the old, but of little children. These accounts of cold-blooded massacres occurred simply because people refused to accept Yahweh. These phrases should give warning to anyone who knows a person who believes every word in the Bible.





For what sense of moral reasoning should we allow ourselves to admire such Biblical verses?
