A Lesson in Pentecostal Hermeneutics

I suppose 1 Peter 3:3 is a good place to start. The Christian wife is told to not let her adorning be "that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold." Many will use this passage to forbid even a modest gold wedding band and the like.

However, if they kept reading they would find that our wives are also told to not let their adorning include the "putting on of apparel." Now how many of us have wives so modest that they would feel comfortable attending church naked?

Consistency is often the bane of the literalist. They will demand a literal six day creation - but will decry a literal seventh day sabbath. They will demand "No Gold!" but balk at "No Clothes!"

Cafeteria Christians.

The distal end of the radius snapped and a piece of the radius along with the scaphoid were dislocated to a position on the distal end of the ulna. He broke his wrist and twisted it badly. Resetting wasn't as painful as we had feared and no surgery is needed at this point. His mother is babying him now. Kind of a long night but quality family time in the emergency room.

How did he do that?

Deu 7:1 When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;

Well I think we are still battling with the parasites, termites, and most of all the cellulites they are all hard to get rid of.

Finally someone who speaks my language I have been wondering about this for years. No one else seemed to get what I was saying about the gold and clothes thing. They would look at me like I had just stepped off a Martian space ship.

Yikes. I'm glad it's something that can heal. Hope he feels better.

There are some that feel they have a consistent hermanutic to do just that. Not quite as cut and dry as some may think.

You're such a legalist.

After youth service during a period of "fellowship" he fell backward and caught himself on his wrist.
