I kept thinking that she was Maggie Simpsons nemesis, "the baby with one eyebrow", on The Simpsons as a young child.
Either that or the Russian woman from the movie Dodgeball.

lol

I wasn't referring to a verse but their argument.

Their argument goes "God made you the way you are, why change it? Why pay attention to the flesh. You are full of pride if you try to do things to make yourself look better"

If some of the church law would allow women to be more modest in appearance then maybe some of the men when they are driving down the street would quite lusting after the girl walking down the sidewalk with those shortie white shorts on and that halter top
and start paying more attention to the beauty of their own wives.

You know what my friend, If a woman went to church dressed in a burlap sack covering her from the crown of her head to the sole of her foot, and if during the praise service she raised her hands and her big toe came out from under the sack someone would lust after it.
Most of the time in my lifes experiences I see sin in the eye of the beholder and not in the appearence of the person.

True....

But hey...nothing so exhilarating than a look at a big toe, especially one with a big corn on it. :D

You heard the old saying, "Don't knock it until you try it."

To me, if some UCs like OP2 are consistent with their arguments, they would have to say yes

Why would preachers/pastors/ministers even think about junk like this and consider preaching/teaching on it?
Isn't this like straining out a gnat that Jesus mentioned?

The last time our family attended an Apostolic church was one Sunday night in the late nineteen seventies. We had been going there for about 15 years. Our ALJC pastor in his Sunday night sermon said, "The Bible says that a man is supposed to be clean shaven." After hearing that nonsense, we just never went back.
