Re: I refuse to remove the landmarks

Demanding upon the Victorian standard for the placement of a woman's inseam seems to be a silly preoccupation to me. What of the "holiness" people in the 1800's who complained about the styles that were current then and longed for their own "old landmarks?"

The statement you cite in Proverbs involved respecting another man's fields and inheritance. Another verse just a bit further: Proverbs 23:10, clearly shows that the landmark was to keep people from stealing land and crops from those who were weaker than they. Job 24:2 echoes this same concern.

So when we look at the history of the Apostolic Faith movement and see that history being rewritten as it is here, or being covered up and even just forgotten - how should we respond?

When some one says - The Bogomils and Albigensians were One God tongue talking people - they are removing important and very old landmarks.

When they airbrush out Sister Morgan's discrete pearl necklace from the pictures at UPC HQ - they are removing our landmarks.

When they hide the facts about the true teachings and writings of men like A.D Urshan, Howard Goss, John Dearing, Frank Ewart and so many others - they are removing the old landmarks.
