What I see are people who are hungry to know Jesus and who have finally realized that traditional Apostolic dress & hair styles do not equal holiness. I also see people who have discovered that they've put too much effort into looking the part rather than BEING the part (Christian/holy). There's more to "holiness" and "standards" than women's long hair and long dresses. It's time to focus/rely on Jesus and His Word for what He really wants for our lives.

I am a very modest dresser, I just don't get these women that half dress.

I want to compliment the libs today.

Whether standards are preached by an ultra-con, or by one who is not...you stick by your guns. Outward holiness is ridiculous even if Paul is the one preaching it!

Consistency. Thank you.

Nobody is objecting to what Paul preached (which for the record wasn't about outward holiness in the sense that too many assoicate with it).

One certainly can't read Romans and/or Galatians and come away with the idea that our faith should be placed in standards/outward holiness/personal preferences/corporate values, etc.

What is ridiculous is to equate holiness with outward adornment, holiness is inward. I know folks that know nothing of the type of outward adornment standards as described by TFT's sermon that are some of the holiest folks that I have ever known. When you isolate yourselves from all other Christians, it is easy to imagine that they are not holy, or honest, or pure in their relationship with God. These folks are modest in their lifestyles and apparel, however not to the extremes demanded by OP doctrine. You are missing what these other members of the Body of Christ provide when you declare that they are not holy, due to not meeting your standards, therefore we have no need of them.

1 Corinthians 12:14-20 (King James Version)

14For the body is not one member, but many.

15If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

16And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

17If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?

18But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.

19And if they were all one member, where were the body?

20But now are they many members, yet but one body.



Romans 12:3-5 (King James Version)

3For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

4For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

5So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
