Eli allowed his sons to compromise and commit their sin while he just stood by and watched. Let me tell you something...turn up your hearing aide now...HOLINESS PREACHING IS RIGHT.
We still believe in long sleeves
We still believe the women shouldn't cut their hair
We still believe the men should keep their short, off the ears and off the collar. Sideburns to the middle of the ear.
We still believe that slits are wrong
We still believe the wearing of gold is a sin
We still believe shorts and beards are a sin
We still believe rings are sin period. No wedding rings either.
We still believe Hollywood is wrong
Get rid of your television
Throw out those shoes with the gold plate
Pluck off those gold buttons
Paint that gold belt buckle black or get rid of it
Stop wearing make up
Quit using colored lip gloss
It's a sin for a woman to put on a pair of pants
Women, don't pluck your eyebrows. Who are you trying to impress?
Wear hose to church women
Men, stop wearing those gold watches
Don't waste money on expensive automobiles
Men don't wear silk, even at night
Women, stop wearing fake eyelashes
Leave that Jezebel spirit outside and join the REAL church
Now put that in your pipe and smoke it.
