I don't think we should focus on what will and won't send us to hell. I think blazingthru is making the point that we should try to be pleasing in Gods sight.
When you go to church do you just put on dirty clothes and walk in God's holy place? No, of course not! So if God asks us to do something we should comply out of love. Not because we fear punishment.
I think that sometimes emphasis is placed on trivial matters such as women who wear jewelry, vs those that don't and those who are pure vs. those who are unpure based on what they put in their ears, and on their face when IMHO, jewelry, cosmetics and pants are not the issue, but the meaning and value that we place on them.
If a woman makes God her focus but chooses to wear jewelry and other adorments it does not mean that she is a heathen and has replaced God with her adornments. Same with pants, cosmetics and whatever else a person may use to demarcate an "Godly" woman from an "UnGodly" woman.
The issue is the person's heart, character and daily lifestyle choices.
So a lady doesn't wear jewelry, but gossips and partakes in other questionable behaviors, does that still make said lady more "God fearing " then her jewelry wearing counterpart ?
And in the same breath I will say an unadorned woman is not more pious then on an adorned one.
