Why am I labeled backslid and unusable by God

You don't want to debate, then you make this giant assumption about something we both know without clarifying?

Okay....

Mr NBCox, how can an objective observer tell whether or not if you are the one causing divisions and offenses contrary to the Bible's doctrine?

Doesn't the shortness of your tone here and the curt manner in which you dance around open dialog at least give you the appearance of not wanting to "endure sound doctrine?"

Can you answer without resorting to "fables?"

Daniel had no choice but to live in bablyon, the king tried to feed them with food that was against the word of God. Daniel knew he had to eat, but he refused to eat the kings meat that God warned against!

Separation from the world is not about cars, houses, or gadgets! It's about SIN! If something soley promotes that which is unclean, no christian should have it or do it! Whether it be TV, immodest apparel, wearing clothing for the opposite sex, etc!

You threw in the part about women clothing, and the word still says not to wear apparel of the opposite sex!

So the world says its okay because we have "womens" pants now? Since when did the world standards define what we do?
If the world says its cool for men to wear skirts, do we just change our stand with the times and say its okay?

The world may change, but God's word doesn't.

Conviction walks out when SELF justification walks in.

It's the world's standards that made pants for men.

I don't know why no one will ever address that fact. Why it was okay for men to change with the times, but not women.

It seems to have been something locked within the psyche of Fundamentalism in general. With all of the Baptist preaching about "holding the line" against the many societal changes that took place during the early part of the 20th Century - AND given the fact that OP's approach their theology and preaching in a manner that mirrors the Baptists - it just seems like the idea of freezing ourselves in time with a "Victorian fashion look" was probably the easiest way to go.

The advent of trousers on men was really an innovation of the barbarian invasions of the old Roman Empire. The barbarians had always sported the bifurcated garment while the Roman men all wore those cute skirts that made the gladiator movies so popular among a certain subset of Hollywood.

Old Naughtiest Maximus was quite popular among the women, and men, of his day. Oh wait, I think "Naughtiest Maximus" is actually a joke name..... Like Silliest Sores or Biggus........
