Re: Women Wearing Pants
The whole thing dwindles down to OLD Testament OUT, and New Testament ONLY. If you walk into a Eastern Orthodox church, chances are you only find New testament books. Old Testament was only for the Jews, New Testament is the Church's Bible. This makes for some sketchy theology. An old friend of mine is a pretty sharp Sedevacantist (not sharp enough to be saved, but sharp enough to notice how things got done) He mad this statement, "in the times of the prior to the Reformation the Bible was taken from the people, now the people get rid of the Bible on their own." Also "the communists use to force communist, but now they just use the frog in the kettle. They learned this tactic from the Catholic Church. There are more ways to skin a cat, and churches today don't really understand that the Old Testament complete with deuterocanonical books were the ONLY Bible used by Jesus, Paul, Peter, the apostles, and the rest of the church. The church doesn't understand that the early churches culture was the culture of the first century A.D. Judea. That when a Pharisee passed a Christian they both looked the same. Paul didn't change from looking like a Pharisee to Tommy Bahama at the First Church. He was part of his Judean culture which was the early churches culture. Remember these GENTILES, were exclusively taught by JUDEANS.
