In either event, it certainly does not mean that Christian men should become effeminised as seems to be the goal with much of today's contemporary worship music (which is primarily marketed to women, anyway, as the main consumer group).
I did not watch the video in the opening post, and made no comments about it, by the way.  |
The opening video isn’t even how we got in the discussion. We entered where I posted a video of “woman warrior” being interviewed by “Boy George” do you really want to hurt me Chrismatics. But no worries, while this garbage is applauded we can talk about clean shaven Preterist Dispensationalists and bearded Pre Trib Idealists.
