Re: I refuse to remove the landmarks
 

lol

You know we're just having a good conversation. I mean no offense in any of this, though I might use some strong words at some point to drive home a point. If women's "pants" aren't distinctively female then you're asserting that men can wear them. If you argue that men shouldn't wear women's pants, you're affirming that women's pants are distinctively female. Besides, my studies have indicated that pants were originally designed in ancient China for women working in the rice patties. The Chinese cavalry eventually took these pants and began wearing them as part of horse riding attire. Soon this caught on through most of the civilized world as part of riding attire, primarily worn by military men on horseback. Interestingly, hose were originally worn by men...but today are strictly worn by women. lol

I'm curious, where do you believe that the Bible requires this "distinction"?

If you are interested in how we dress - I would say there is some variety - no doubt.

My wife and girls wear long hair and skirts only. I shun them (skirts) - donning them only when acting on stage :)... sometimes it's required when depicting the Biblical period scenes.

Welcome my friend - we are much more alike than different.

Re: I refuse to remove the landmarks
 

I won't argue it with anyone either. AND I don't doubt your story. I believe that God requires things from some of us that He doesn't require from others. There are convictions that I have that I will not change, no matter what all my ministry friends do.

I think the whole issue on here is that we would like to be considered brothers and sisters. We are willing to accept you as brothers/sisters, and would just like to feel that you accept us too. We love the Lord every bit as much as you do.

Glad to find a couple that agree with me. I suspected this was not the forum for this topic. That is why I started it. I want to see where the majority was.

Re: I refuse to remove the landmarks
 

That's all good brother. God bless you. Let's continue to talk and share our perspectives. I used to be an ultra-conservative. At the very least I can show you why my beliefs have changed a little. Not to say you're absolutely wrong, but to share what I believe the Lord has shown me.

Re: I refuse to remove the landmarks
 

The majority from what I've seen is LIBERAL.

There was one obnoxious guy who they banned. Glad he's gone. Don't even know why he called himself a Christian. He was crude and mean about everything.

Re: I refuse to remove the landmarks
 

My dear friend I believe you know where I will go in the Bible for this. I have things I could say about your argument, but it is just that an argument. I do not want to do that and neither do you. we will not change eachothers minds.
I have found out what I wanted .

GOD bless and good night.

I wear cloths.



Sometimes.

Re: I refuse to remove the landmarks
 

Seriously though, I hope that you pick up one VERY important fact as a result of this thread you started.....

.....you weren't banned for starting it!

Now if "I" went onto a conservative apostolic board and dared question some "old landmark" (circa, 1950's) "standard", I would be corrected, chastised, and subsequently banned in rapid order.

Re: I refuse to remove the landmarks
 

I love it when new people come to the forum. Let's all make them welcome!

You know...

God loves people - any shape, any color, any size.
You don't have to be an angel, to be really special in His eyes.
He said in John 3:16 and He proved it on Calvary.
God loves people, ordinary people - people like you and me!
