Like I said previously, feminine or masculine is all defined in ones character.

Is that how God sees it? Will He throw guys into hell who wear pink if they don't think wearing pink is masculine, but not the guys who wear pink that think it's masculine?

I thought of this thread while in church this morning.

There was a chubby guy sitting 2 pews in front of me with long hair, bangs that swept to the side and covered one of his eyes.

His hair was dyed with yellow and pink streaks. He kept pulling a brush out and brushing his hair during the song service.

During the preaching he got up, his drawers hung below his butt cheeks to expose black underwear with a saying on them that I was not able to read.

his bottom lip was pierced several times with little hoop earrings.

I had a strong urge to do this :smack but instead I prayed for him :heeheehee

I suspect you must be 20+ years older than the objects of this thread? I see it too, and we avoided fellows like this when I was in school. Now their numbers are growing. We must be careful, because styles change, but some of them might have both the style AND substance.

Where have all the real men gone?
Study the Frankfort school. Cultural Marxism and all that. You'll find that the destruction of the American family and the civil compact have both been by design. The long march through the institutions is complete, and cannot be undone overnight, presuming there is the public will to address an as-yet unacknowledged problem.

How feminine is too feminine and when does a guy with an intentional lisp fall under this portion of scripture?
When he starts? :dunno Just kidding. Unfortunately this is truly between the individual and God. What is he thinking in his heart is his goal as he adopts these styles?

Quote:

The effeminate shall not enter the kingdom of God.
Those who fear God would do well to study the biological imperatives of men and examine themselves. But frankly we all need to examine ourselves for all sorts of sin, not just sin that grosses other people out or causes them to fear.

Real men accept responsibility, cultivate truthfulness as a way of life, are disciplined, are generous, brave, self-sacrificing. Real men inspire, not command, women to submit to them. Real men are not passive. Real men are self-confident, and regard female efforts to assist their understanding of "real manhood" with suspicion.

Real men strive to conduct themselves with integrity, and recognize that the most important things they will ever build are reputation and trust.

We are going to be the bride of Christ. And yet we are also SOLDIERS OF CHRIST. So yes I oppose a feminine look and attitude in men tho I have not met many of these.

I see more females with a mannish look where I live here in Southern Ky.

I'm a Southern Kentuckian too!
