Hair, sleeves, pantsuits, jewelry, and makeup
 

Figured this place could use some CPR, it's pretty much flatlining around here lately...

If its additional could it be a hoodie there stylish. or maybe a ball cap.

Re: Hair, sleeves, pantsuits, jewelry, and makeup
 

Hair=long hair for the sisters, short hair on the brothers.

Sleeves= no tank tops, decent modest sleeves.

Pantsuits: While there is no direct defining scripture for it: Pants on men and skirts for ladies.

Jewelry: Almost all churches have some adornment, it's just a matter of what and how much. I personally wear none. There really isn't a complete prohibition against it.


Makeup: Even if no bible against it, why would a sister want to wear lipstick and black eyeliner and the such? The motive tells all. Some wear foundation if they have skin problems. My wife eyebrows are gone so she makes some that are not outlandish, but she isn't doing it to be sensual.

Yep. Since Aquila has been gone it has been pretty dull.
I guess I need to create another user name as a liberal...
Since I am evidently one of the few that has never had another user name.

Re: Hair, sleeves, pantsuits, jewelry, and makeup
 

If there is no scripture for the sleeves, pants and makeup, WHY is it being preached in our pulpits? I have never understood that. Just asking.

Re: Hair, sleeves, pantsuits, jewelry, and makeup
 

Hair=uncut, un-permed and un-dyed hair on ladies and short hair kept off the ears and collars for men.

Sleeves= below the elbow

Pantsuits: pants on men and at least mid calf length skirts or dresses on ladies. Pantyhose on the ladies are preferred. Also, no splits in the skirts.

Jewelry: no gold, silver or pearls. No finger rings, toe rings, ear rings or nose rings. Watches should be simple and not have the appearance of gold, silver, diamonds or pearls.


Makeup: No makeup of any kind.


Of course, you can do ALL the above and if don't have Jesus on the inside, you are still lost. Some of the biggest devils we are fighting in the church today are dressed in "holiness". Pray through, pray through, pray through. Clean the inside and make the outside presentable to a Holy God.

Re: Hair, sleeves, pantsuits, jewelry, and makeup
 

Very true... you can dress the outside right and not be Holy but you can not be Holy on the inside and not be dressing right on the outside.

Re: Hair, sleeves, pantsuits, jewelry, and makeup
 

Amen

I like asking evangelists for memorable moments in their ministry. One told a story of being asked to preach a week-long revival at a church. He said he arrived at the airport curb to meet the Pastor of the church where he would be preaching and the Pastor shook his hand, gave him some money for food and said sorry, but I can't allow you to preach the revival. The evangelist asked what happened and the Pastor told him he doesn't allow wedding rings. The evangelist offered to remove the ring while he was there and the Pastor rejected the offer, said simply taking it off isn't enough.

The Pastor got in his car and left the evangelist at the airport.

I understand personal convictions, but that was rude and wrong. The Pastor should have asked about it before scheduling the evangelist and leaving him at the airport by himself.

Re: Hair, sleeves, pantsuits, jewelry, and makeup
 

Thats not a personal conviction that’s jewelry.

Re: Hair, sleeves, pantsuits, jewelry, and makeup
 

It's a personal conviction. :nod

Re: Hair, sleeves, pantsuits, jewelry, and makeup
 

Definitely a mistake on the pastor’s part in not knowing the man he had asked to come preach for him. On the other hand, I have to respect the man for being up front with him and taking a stand for a BIBLE conviction.

Re: Hair, sleeves, pantsuits, jewelry, and makeup
 

I’m with n David. It’s a personal conviction. It is not biblical.

Re: Hair, sleeves, pantsuits, jewelry, and makeup
 

Wearing Jewelry is a sin.

I guarantee you there is more to that story.

Re: Hair, sleeves, pantsuits, jewelry, and makeup
 

You cannot be serious.

Re: Hair, sleeves, pantsuits, jewelry, and makeup
 

Wearing jewelry is sin. In the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses...

It’s settled.:highfive

Re: Hair, sleeves, pantsuits, jewelry, and makeup
 

Most likely. However, I can see it happening as described in a time when the liberals and conservatives were in the same organization. We are living in a different day now, thank God. I think Pastors are more careful about who they have fill their pulpits and generally know what a man believes before he comes.

Re: Hair, sleeves, pantsuits, jewelry, and makeup
 

Ndavid and me. There’s two witnesses. So you’re right. It’s settled. . . . And you’re using a scripture reference out of its intended context.

Re: Hair, sleeves, pantsuits, jewelry, and makeup
 

Different day for sure....of making up rules, attempting to rewrite and add to the Bible. What a disgrace. Post scripture that supports each of ALL your rules(along with a few commentators that agree with you would be good), or erase those rules.

Flatlining indeed.

Re: Hair, sleeves, pantsuits, jewelry, and makeup
 

I will show you when show me in the Bible where it says not to shoot up herion.

Re: Hair, sleeves, pantsuits, jewelry, and makeup
 

It’s agsinst the law to shoot up w heroin, and Rom. 13:1-2 says to obey the laws.

Not to mention our body is the temple, that we’re not to defile (1 Cor.3:17), and anyone on the planet older than 6 years old could tell you breaking the law shooting up with heroin is bad for our body.

Your turn.

Re: Hair, sleeves, pantsuits, jewelry, and makeup
 

lol ok if it wasn’t against the law then we are fine..... just in moderation it shouldn’t mess up your body so we will be good.

Re: Hair, sleeves, pantsuits, jewelry, and makeup
 

:thumbsupWhat is herion?

I think this is what we should abide by, (it is from the Bible).


Deuteronomy 4
[2] Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

If you believe jewelry is sinful, state your case. Quote scripture, in context if possible.

:thumbsup

Re: Hair, sleeves, pantsuits, jewelry, and makeup
 

God is certainly pro-jewelry. I must confess, I don’t wear it. I need to do better.

Re: Hair, sleeves, pantsuits, jewelry, and makeup
 

Put genuine scripture (and some supportive commentary would be nice) along side your new improved rules of religion. Start w sleeves below the elbow.

Shooting up w Heroin...that’s great. Gradeschoolers even know it’s wrong, illegal, and harmful to the body.

Re: Hair, sleeves, pantsuits, jewelry, and makeup
 

This was pre-affirmation statement, so yes, there were libs and cons in same org.

Re: Hair, sleeves, pantsuits, jewelry, and makeup
 

Yes I was.

Re: Hair, sleeves, pantsuits, jewelry, and makeup
 

per the Apostle Paul?

perhaps not, there are some other people who give a different interpretation to his writings in 1 Corinthians 11.

Re: Hair, sleeves, pantsuits, jewelry, and makeup
 

There is nothing wrong with jewelry.

Re: Hair, sleeves, pantsuits, jewelry, and makeup
 

Not it is not, there is nothing in the bible that says it is a sin.

do not confuse your own personal convictions for commandments of God.

Re: Hair, sleeves, pantsuits, jewelry, and makeup
 

by whom?

Re: Hair, sleeves, pantsuits, jewelry, and makeup
 

hey add me as a third witness against the claim that Jewelry is a sin. :)

Re: Hair, sleeves, pantsuits, jewelry, and makeup
 

There will be no sin in Heaven so how do we explain streets of gold, walls of jasper, gates of pearl.... just thinking...

Re: Hair, sleeves, pantsuits, jewelry, and makeup
 

maybe its the difference between spiritual adornment versus us adorning ourselves out of pride.

Or maybe it is false. . . Made up . . .by people who “teach for doctrine the commandments of men”.

I’m still not hearing scripture quoted to support this doctrine.
