New dress standard for MEN preachers...

[Sister Alvear]

We can get along if they let me be the bishop!...back to making bonnets...

Bishop Mama Alvear,

Is this going to be a KJV-only org??? .... I'm asking because the KJV translates the head covering required by preachers to be linen bonnets while other versions like the NIV, NASB, ASV translates it to be linen turbans ....

I know some believe that if King James English was good enough for Jesus and the Apostles than it's good enough for them ...

15 " 'But the priests, who are Levites and descendants of Zadok and who faithfully carried out the duties of my sanctuary when the Israelites went astray from me, are to come near to minister before me; they are to stand before me to offer sacrifices of fat and blood, declares the Sovereign LORD. 16 They alone are to enter my sanctuary; they alone are to come near my table to minister before me and perform my service.

17 " 'When they enter the gates of the inner court, they are to wear linen clothes; they must not wear any woolen garment while ministering at the gates of the inner court or inside the temple. 18 They are to wear linen turbans on their heads and linen undergarments around their waists. They must not wear anything that makes them perspire.

I am willing to wear a Holiness turban to keep the fellowship ....

Just remember the old adage Bishop(et)(ess), 'Walk softly and carry a big stick'

Alvear and Alicea have rolled out their newest line of modest and holy undergarments for the Levitical Apostolic clergyman and/or clergywoman ....

Made of 100% linen you will be separate from the rest .... total separation and zero perspiration guaranteed

Daniel, the council of bishops of Brazil have voted that UC´s stay with KJV but liberals may use the other versions....what do you think?

Exo 28:41 And thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him; and shalt anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office.
Exo 28:42 And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach:

From Strong's...

H4370
מכנס
miknâs
mik-nawce'
From H3647 in the sense of hiding; (only in dual) drawers (from concealing the private parts): - breeches.

"Anyone who has ever studied archeological findings, has observed that men wore a form of breeches during work and at other times. The breeches were worn without a covering and they were worn with other garments over them. The purpose of these breeches was to hide the pudenda and secure modesty not otherwise protected in wearing the other loose fitting garments. It is true that men did not wear breeches all the time but, they nevertheless were specifically a man's garment. If they were a woman's garment, it would have been an ABOMINATION for a man to have worn them at anytime, and much more while acting as a Priest."

"They were not to rise any higher than the thighs. The area of the thigh extends to the knee. When the outer linen garment of the priest was cast over these breeches, the man's nakedness was covered to his ankles."

"We do not know when breeches were made to extend to the ankles. We do know that in doing this, the nakedness of man was the issue and equaled wearing the full length robe. Breeches were not designed by God for women. They could therefore, never replace the covering of their thighs and legs with pants, with their robes off."

"The breeches designed by God to be worn by men, qualified Aaron and his sons to Minister before the Lord. If they refused to wear them, they were adjudicated to bear iniquity...At the Lord's altar, with breeches on they were holy, with breeches off they were in iniquity."

WELL!!!!!!!!!!! I am IN and laughing my head off!
Of course - I want some kind of title - like ARCHBISHOP of the LINEN CLOSET and I want to be one of the Assistant Presiding Bishops or the Diocesan Bishop of the First Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction of the Entire Southeast and Head Potentate of ATLANTA and ALL of GEORGIA!
If they don't bow and put the bonnets on - we will split the UPC like the Booker/Godair/Wilson bunch and act HOLIER and MEANER than everyone else so they will think we know what we are doing and are SO MUCH MORE SPIRITUAL AND IM-PO-TENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I already have a head start on you guys - Y'ALL are WAY behind as I have been wearing linen for several years! Now, I admit that I am NOT wearing linen under ware (I don't think 2Xist or CK makes them) as that would just itch too much - can you imagine over there in the HOT SUMMERS of the middle east - with LINEN UNDER WARE ON??? WHAT WAS GOD THINKING????????????

In Dan´s and my organization men must wear linen...like it or not it is in the Bible....we are very conservative...and all dues must be paid on time so our treasury can sell new bonnets to the UC´s and we will have a line of turbans for the liberals...gotta do something to raise money for missions...and here our traveling world missionary Sherri is in Costa Rica helping us build national headquarters over there this week...Please send in all dues. Thanks...Bishop Janice Alvear...
