An apostolic lady will not wear pants...

The whole of scripture speaks to sexual distinction, from the old testament to the new. This blending of the gender line has been a part of this fast path towards the acceptance of homosexuality... and of course we have "Apostolic" homosexuals now that use this same approach to justify what they want to do.

Papabear just come out and say that the way you see the bible is the only correct way and everyone else that sees it diffrenty is wrong... Per your last post that is basically what you said...

Quote:

this whole exercise of waxing philosophical and thoughtful with the intent of subtracting what the bible says concerning those things that we have chosen to disavow is an approach we see the results all around us.

I am not afraid of Biblical study and digging deep into it as you like, as long as the intent is to strengthen what the text says, as opposed to dissect it to make it say what we want it to say.

This subtraction by addition is an approach to scripture that I believe is the original deception.

What is the reason for the question? to strengthen or devotion or find a reason not to obey what God and his word has said.

... but I know much to my sadness of heart... minds can not be changed when the heart is already cold....

If we followed the pattern of prayer and consecration in seeking God, this discussion would not even be necessary. But alas, we live in the days of great wisdom and deception... and often it is difficult to discern between the two.

Of that I have no doubt, at least in mixed company. But I think SOME would be surprised when Jesus's shirt sleeves didn't match up to what THEY were wearing and taught.

But then again, I am sure he would have followed his own mandate about not causing a brother to stumble and would have dressed to the lowest common denominator.

What about the apostolic male? What does he wear that distinguishes and separates him from the world?

An apostolic Man wears pants... as they are the distinctive garment in our culture.

and they also provide a masculinity to women, in my personal beliefs. Listen, I'm not here to condemn anyone else's personal convictions and standards, but as I read the Scriptures, I see that men and women are not created equally, they are both very different genders and roles. Clothing is a major way to communicate gender identity within a society, and even in the Old Testament, it was obvious that clothing demonstrated gender identity, and therefore role identity.

I believe that women should dress feminely, and men masculine, and both modestly. I believe that a dress covers the womenly form much better, and in the end provides a message of femine traits, as well as modesty.

Take a look at the bathroom signs at any store or restaurant. Apparently in our day and age, still a women in a dress means female and a man in pants means male..... I have yet to see a women's restroom with a picture of the woman on the door in pants.

You didn't answer my question.

Actually, I was always taught that the presence of a pool table in our community was the first big step to the depths of degradation. Whats next? medicinal wine from a teaspoon then beer from a bottle?

Don't write my eulogy just yet!

The reason for the question is to simply know what is right. Others tend to immediately debate a person's motives as a red herring to the real issue. I don't want to dissect it to make it say what I want it to say, and I think that's part of my frustration: we have taken texts and interpreted to mean something it never intended.

Your responses will surely get this forum excited as you assume no one is prayerful, no one loves holiness and no one cares for the things of God but those who believe it exactly as you've been taught it.
