It is interesting to see this opinion.

You take away the "measuring tool" and immediately you are seen as lost or at the least your conscience seared.

I pray that I can be conservative about many things yet still be kind.

In the long lists of do´s and don´t maybe we could sum it up with now abideth faith, hope and love and the greatest of these is love...

While I too have my lists I hope LOVE is stamped over ever thing I do and say...and when I die I hope the preacher can honestly say, "Sister Alvear loved..."
I might not agree with everybody but I can love everybody. That is what will make me HIS disciple...

HG, the mindset I am talking about is the one that says it's ok to put others in Hell for not seeing standards the same way. Have I said I thought you or anyone else was going to Hell for being a standard keeper? If so, show me the posts.

I feel like on many things I have strong convictions...I don´t always get up and shout them ( I am not the pastor) but I do my best to live what I believe and believe what I live...

No.... I don't believe that most of them do... Some do... but I've also seen those who keep their standards and their conscience is seared...but that's my opinion.. I don't know anyone here personally except for just a couple of people... I don't care to judge on an individual basis.... But I do hold to the truth I was taught.... But from there... I will step aside and let God judge us all..... So I am considered ultra con to many here and to the ultra cons, I probably am not considered to be conservative in the least bit because I don't like to spit nails at others who don't believe like I do.....

I still think it's funny that we talk about division in a forum like this....

Hogwash. I have never, that I am aware of, told a standards keeper they were going to Hell for having their standards. It's only when they start in with the "You're going to Hell" nonsense that I speak up, and it's against the attitude.

Sister, I honestly do not understand why it is that the standards keepers cannot have their standards to themselves and feel like they have to run down anyone who doesn't keep them. For the last couple three years I have said that I believe standard issues are matters of personal conviction, and have absolutely no problem with someone maintaining those personal convictions. I have some of my own against things like jewelry. I don't wear shorts either and make a point of never going out in public in a tank top. I always wear either a short sleeved shirt or a long sleeve shirt. Does this make me better or somehow more holy and empowered to condemn others to hell for not seeing it the same way? GOD FORBID.
