To be honest, deacon, im sure early christians looked slightly different than pagan romans. After all, there were certain pagan practices which were expressed in manner of dress. But the extreme measures UPCI takes in enforcing dress codes and the amount of emphasis placed on dress is really preposturous.

I think the only outward Apostolic Identity for men in today's American culture is:
1: No shorts in public
2. No facial hair
3. How holy their wife looks
In other words, you would have a difficult time picking them out of a line-up.
The ladies, on the other hand, can be spotted a mile away!
It's all silliness to me!

Re: UPC Resolution to Remove TV from Manual
Some of you may have failed to realize that the UPC has become dominated by the strong feminine influence...nothing can be more pagan than that.
With the exception of those receiving salary, tithes, and financial benefit, men are getting tired of it.

Re: UPC Resolution to Remove TV from Manual
[QUOTE=deacon blues;1233119]With the numbers in the UPC declining, in numbers of churches, numbers of veteran ministers and numbers of young men applying for license, the UPC cant afford to turn away 30% of new applicants. I believe that with the short term losses of conservatives leaving it's ranks the long term benefits will outweigh the losses.QUOTE]
They are in decline?
Do not worry, before the UPCI came into existance, there was a church of God, and if the UPCI should ever cease to exist, the Church of God is always alive and moving on to ever greater increase.
God is not into retreat, he keeps on moving forward, he is probably about to bring revival through a new movement.
Waves of revival keep on coming, from unexpected places, from unexpected persons and in unexpected ways.

Re: UPC Resolution to Remove TV from Manual
Listen, guys, I threw the TV out of my house about 6 or 7 years ago.
The reason? We found ourselves daily flipping through
the channels in order to find something to watch,
before we knew it it was 11:00 pm and time
to go to bed....wasting the whole evening....flipping through garbage.
After our TV was gone family life was greatly restored, we'r reading, talking, playing games, etc. A big improvement of family life.
However,I don't think that a church organization should set the rules.
That's pure dictatorship, there's no reason to bombard people with
all these rules and regulations and attach these rules to a person's
condition for salvation. (And that's what they are doing, don't be fooled!)
