Sorry, I don't want to ruin this Thread, but this kind of stuff really bothers me. I used to amen this type of preaching or singing until I realized what this has done to people.
This is the Old School rhetoric that has tainted the World of Religion with "We are better than you", causing rivalry and strife amongst people who are supposed to have mercy, unity and compassion.
These statements also lead to the slippery slope of being blinded by our own faults because we don't have snuff in our chin, or have a dress on. We might weigh 400 lbs because we overeat, or kill our bodies by guzzling a 6 pack of soda every day, but we don't use snuff, by golly.
I just had a man leave our Church who had sleeves to his wrists, a leather watch band, didn’t like Christmas, wore only white shirts to church, and he used to run with the crowd of UC's. But as soon as his mouth opened, he complained and gossiped about every pastor he has ever sat under, pointing out every fault he could imagine about them and other saints. He was so blind by his idea, he failed to see his own sin, and he wondered why he had no friends.
When will we learn that Jesus rebuked the Holy or those who dressed the part, not the sinners and the honest about their true condition. I think we need songs that point this out, unveiling the sin that’s in these supposable SUPER HOLY Churches.
People that claim they are “Living Right” are liars. None of us are living right.
God help us!
