1. women aren't allowed to minister in the church
2. divorced women can't remarry
3. homosexuality is a sin
4. wearing gold jewelry is a sin
5. you must wait until marriage to have sex

The bible says in 1 Timothy 2:12 that women are not to be pastors, that doesn't mean they can't minister. Women minister to other women and to children; just not to men. 1 Timothy 3 lays out what a pastor is and it clearly says a pastor must be a man.
Our society sees divorce as a matter of going to court and signing a legal document that says a person is divorced. But in God's eyes that marriage is still a binding agreement. Therefore, even if it's legal in the court system, it's adultery as far as God is concerned. Luke 16:18
God says that the only righteous sexual relationship is between one man and one woman bond by marriage. 1 Corinthians 7:1-2 Any other sexual relationship outside of that is sin including homosexuality. 1 Corinthians 6:9
Wearing gold jewelry in and of itself is not sin. It becomes sin when a woman who claims to know the Lord cares more about outer beauty than keeping her heart pure. To put 1 Timothy 2:9 in today's terms...If a woman/girl claims to know the Lord, she needs to not dress (whether clothes or accessories) as to catch the lustful eyes of a man, but rather be modest.
Waiting to have sex goes back to 1 Corinthians 7:1-2 and 1 Corinthians 6:9; it's sin. And there is ALWAYS consequence to sin. God tells us to wait for marriage to protect us, not to prevent us from having "fun". Sex is a gift from God to be enjoyed between a married man and woman. Let me put it this way...I personally know the heart ache of sex before marriage. It's a difficult road that you can never rewalk.
