While it is somewhat humorous, the truth is these issues keep people from truth. They are unnecessary yokes. They offend little ones.

This is so true. What is the deal with that? Why is it okay for blacks to have a beard?

That's because ... no one wants to examine the first issue to divide Pentecostalism was not the "New Issue" of 1913 and 1914 ....but racism .... let me not get started ... Just examine the words of Parham and others.

We could be spreading the gospel, but we are pushing a cultural issue instead. Or is the television issue a part of the gospel to some?

Did you know there was an official apology issued to the PAW and other Oneness Black organizations from the UPC last year?

Yep. Although they are still viewed as having a "weaker" message.

PP and Dan, just a sincere question. Why do you stay in the UPC? Wouldn't it be more honest to leave?
