This type of teaching was necessary to aid the Early Church spread the gospel throughout the various cultures of their world, and this same type of teaching is needed for the Church to do the same work today.
^^^^^This.

I probably wouldn't get into so many arguments if I could just explain myself more like you.

Ever read what the Apostolics did in Ethiopia? Or what early Pentecostals endured and did in rural America way back when?

The solution has ever been the same.
But no one is facing the First Century Romans or Jewish Priesthood today, are they? But, there are churches today who do face gang dangers, right? So, what is your point?

Are you saying a church deciding it is in their best interest to not appear the member of a gang they are facing today is a bad thing? Instead, they should wear that gang color like a banner and go forth in prayer and fasting in Jesus name? Is that your "solution"?

Wouldn't that "solution" in itself be a kind of church standard? Also, with the dangers your "solution" might create, wouldn't it also be a disobedience to the command to "not test the LORD your God."? (Mat 4:7)

Please, correct me if I misunderstood your post.

If you can't understand it through the scripture, and you do it, you will just undo it at a future date. People are built that way, people have to be thoroughly convinced of a subject before they make it their own.
Amen!

"The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who has no reason to pass judgment on himself for what he approves. But whoever has doubts is condemned if he eats, because the eating is not from faith. For whatever does not proceed from faith is sin."....(Romans 14:22-23)

Well, the bell and the pomegranate are in the Bible, but the rope around the ankle, not there.

I didn’t know it came from the black hat and coat crowd though. It makes sense that it does thou.

I’m clueless on peyos. What is that/are they?
Yes, the bell and the pomegranate are in the Bible, but, like that ankle rope, they were not used on Yom Kippur. Only a pure linen garment was worn in the Most Holy Place.
