Ecc 12:8 Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all [is] vanity.

This is why this scripture is so valuable to us all;

Phl 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

I was one of those! :noidea

So valuable because it can be twisted to support any false doctrine?

So, let me get this straight...

You got into church and you quit plucking your eyebrows and became an UC?

Same thing I thought back then...ha...I think ladies should shave their legs and under their arms...

If someone feels different I respect their thoughts...however I do NOT have those convictions.
