Ephesians 4:31 and 32

Not really. He's wearin' soap.

 

WOW! Talk about going off subject

 

Gina started it!!!

At least I was polite enough not to say nekkid!

 

Come on, what a bunch of junk! We need to argue about something! Someone might come along and question whether we are really Baptists.

 

So that is what that letter in the email was about this morning. Spirit of Christ seems to be absent in all this, and I dont even understand the situation or what happened. MRCoon, good advice, blessed are the peace makers. Think I will look elsewhere than advice from Shiloh, as this is the same person that believes that outward appearance is the sign of a true salvation experience with Jesus Christ.

 

We are arguing, Shiloh.

We're arguing over whether or not we are off topic and who got us that way. I still say it was Gina!!!!!!

 

Yes, and Christ also called the Pharisees whitewashed tombs. Those who judge by outward appearence and do not look for a changed heart miss the whole point of salvation. And Diggin, Im just going to bet you cant see a human heart.

 

NOW THAT'S MORE LIKE IT! Look in Matt.21:19 "leaves only" What...it was a fig tree wasn't it? Don't look on the outside, just look on the heart. I believe as Christians we need to show forth that we love the Lord enough to want to please Him. If you are ashamed....well let your hair grow long, drink your beer, smoke your cigarettes...man that didn't take long to get back on track!

 

I had absoutly nothing to do with it, some crazy woman keeps soming here do causing trouble. She jumped me when I didn't even know she exsisted, before I ever saw her here.

 

trolls need to be caught where ever they may be, cast into the soap and dried out.

 

No but your theology does. The fruits of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, etc. Now, will you please explain to me what long hair, short hair, green pants, blue pants, black glasses, or anything else has to do with these fruits. By the fruits you shall know them. It seems to me the thinking here is so superficial and worldly its beyond belief. What outward dress appearance would you use as a standard? The 1870s plains look of the midwest for the Amish? The lets wear a cross on our shirt look of the crusades? The knight in a tin suit look of the 1500s? The long flowing robe look of the Pharisees? What standard? Yours? HA!You mention other things besides outward appearance, you mention personal bad habits. ( I have no idea where that came from). No one ever said drinking was a good thing or a Godly thing. But I will tell you one thing, you have no more idea if someone drinking is saved or not than you can explain Einsteins theory. As far as cigarettes go, its not a good thing, but I have seen conservative Baptist churches where they smoked outside between Sunday School and Church. That does not make it good, its a nasty habit. But the idea that you can tell someones salvation by looking is a joke, in fact, it is quite sad.

 

Diggin,
Dig some more.

 

dress? God does not want man to walk around naked or even partially naked. That is why He made Adam and Eve coats of skins; to cover themselves.

We know we are not to walk around even partially naked because Adam and Eve had tried to cover themselves; but it was not sufficient covering.

Many today who name the name of God think nothing of wearing clothes that reveal cleavage. Many today think nothing of wearing halter tops that reveal the mid-section. Many think nothing of wearing bathing suits that reveal their nakedness.

Yes, I do believe God has a dress standard He expects His children to comply to.

 

If all of you could see me, I would probably appear to you much more prudish, conservative in dress and manner, than you I would venture to say. I have always been a rather boring person. But you have no more idea about my salvation than another persons. I will agree with SFIC that revealing attire is inappropriate for Christians, however, I believe you all came out with long hair.

 

I say we go with the Amish look.

Those kids are so CUTE in them bonnets! And how easy is it to accessorize when you only wear black and white?!

 

I try to be modest but never going to say I am boring, prudish and conservative in dress and manner. I am "alive". I got one problem I am 67 years old, well 2 problems, slightly bald but handsome.

 

POST QUICK!

Someone's editing the thread!

 

I like Brother Bob's tie!
