Or you thought long sleeves were 'safer', but come to feel that shorter sleeves aren't too horrible.
You can rock these people's worlds.
I've seen this happen SO many times! These changes can really upset them. "I thought this stuff was a sin, and now it's not?? What else was I told was a sin, but isn't? So what else is going to change??"
It can literally cause this type of person to stumble, and stumble hard.
That's why I think it's better to teach the GOSPEL. Not to add in a bunch of 'just to be safe' extras. Because the extras can change.
And also, as D4T said, it can breed fear and a lack of trust in God.

Now let me ask this... what's the next step?
What if leadership get's a clearer understanding that, let's say TV's or facial hair on men are not "sin" or "bad things" as they have been taught in the past, but if we move the line and now allow these things, so to speak, where would it end?
"So let's not move the line"
