Thank you, I do appreciate it!
I've read through the thread a few times, trying to get a better understanding, so that I could see if I had been offensive. I think I understand why you got frustrated..... you thought I was arguing with you? I wasn't intending to, I was really just clarifying an issue in my own mind. This verse had actually been on my mind quite a bit, lately. Because a few 'real-life' discussions I had been in about dress standards, that had been thrown out - 'We're supposed to be SEPARATE from the world.' So, this was a timely discussion for me.
I completely respect everyone's convictions, and would not DREAM of trying to change someone's mind. Would not DARE to - that's between them and God. I wouldn't want that responsibility on my hands if I were wrong.
I'm just going through an upheaval in my own mind right now, and any conversation I'm in is usually just helping me to work things out in my own head. I'm very interested in others opinions, but I may respond with... 'yeah, but what about this?' Not to argue, but just because it's a question I have. Because my own head is arguing with itself.
But I will try to be more sensitive in my posts, to be sure I'm clear that I'm not just arguing.
