An Abomination
 
I received this from an Apostolic/Pentecostal minister and thought I'd pass it on without comment.


10 Reasons why CHRISTIAN MEN should REJECT the EVIL PRACTICE of WEARING A NECKTIE:

1 As a piece of clothing a necktie is SUPERFLUOUS. It serves NO FUNCTION BUT ORNAMENTATION. This makes it by definition IMMODEST and OSTENTATIOUS, appealing to the LUST OF THE EYES and PRIDE OF LIFE! (1 John 2:15)

2 As such, a necktie is nothing more than SILK JEWELRY!

3 Neckties are often made in BRIGHT COLORS (like RED, PURPLE and even PINK) and BOLD, PATTERNS. Again, this serves no purpose but to DRAW ATTENTION to the FLESH!

4 Most neckties are made of SILK. We all know what silk is used for: WOMEN’S UNDERWEAR! This makes wearing a necktie a VILE ABOMINATION according to DEUTERONOMY 22:5!

5 Furthermore, many of the patterns on neckties are SIMILAR or IDENTICAL TO those on WOMEN’S DRESSES (i.e., PAISLEY or even FLOWERS). ABOMINATION!

6 Many designers of neckties are KNOWN HOMOSEXUALS! Why would a GODLY MAN want something HANGING AROUND HIS NECK that is the personal expression of the PERVERTED HEART of a SODOMITE?

7 Whatever Lot had in Sodom, HE LEFT IN SODOM. Shouldn’t you leave this FLIMSY FLAG OF SODOM behind as well?

(NOTE: THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS GRAPHIC LANGUAGE. PLEASE DON’T ALLOW WOMEN TO READ ANY FARTHER)

8 A long necktie tied around a man’s neck is itself a PHALLIC SYMBOL (in the shape of the MALE SEX ORGAN). What messages are conveyed to the subconscious mind of those around you as you PARADE before them wearing this SYMBOL of LASCIVIOUSNESS?

9 Satan is often depicted with PHALLIC SYMBOLS. This only further DEMONSTRATES how EVIL AND DEMONIC this THING is, and how easy it is for the DEVIL to SNEAK IN to our BEDROOMS through the CLOTHING hanging in our CLOSETS!

10 ALMOST ALL NECKTIES ARE POINTED AT THE BOTTOM, the part that reaches TO OR BELOW THE BELT. WHY IS IT POINTED? WHAT IS IT POINTING TO?

DEAR SAINT OF GOD, HOW CAN WE CHRISTIANS TOLERATE OUR PREACHERS, SINGERS, AND SUPPOSED LEADERS PARADING ACROSS OUR PLATFORMS ADVERTISING ON THEIR BELLIES EVERY SIN OF UNCLEANNESS AND PERVERSION THERE IS? WE MUST PUT A STOP TO IT! PRINT THIS MESSAGE AND SHOW IT TO YOUR PASTOR. TELL HIM YOU MUST WITHHOLD YOUR TITHE AS LONG AS HE INSISTS ON SPENDING IT ON SUCH ABOMINATIONS! GOD HATES SIN! HIS JUDGMENT IS COMING TO THE MEN OF SODOM

Well if the dude preaches against necklaces for women at least he's being consistant! As far as the necktie being a phallic symbol - *insert joke here* -. :neener

Thanks Jim! I needed that!

Sin, like beauty, is often times in the eye of the beholder.

Re: An Abomination
 
Actually, this message is one of the reasons that so many saints are questioning the validity of pastor's edicts on standards - and now such questing is being extended to include most everything pastors preach.

If this is an example of the quality of any man's teaching and his expressed lack of knowledge of scriptural interpretation and application, it is a true wonder that such a preacher has any members at all in 'his' church.

The man who sent it to me is not a senior pastor, he is a leader/pastor of a small group in an Apostolic church in a nearby city.

Also, it is TIC

He does not really believe that way.


He mentioned it to me on the phone and I asked him to email it to me so I could post it here.

You should create a group on facebook with this as your core message. Would be great to see what kind of response you get.

Re: An Abomination
 
Great post, Hash. Questions are okay until you question the answer. Then when there is no genuine biblical basis for a "standard" it turns into "do as I say or you are in rebellion."

Doh!

I believed it. Sorry, I've heard so much looniness that when I hear or read something so crazy from OP's my first inclination is to believe it rather than reject it.

Well, it was so believable as good "holiness" or "standards" preaching that I just HAD to post it.

I agree with Jason & Commonsense - the outrageous seems to have become commonplace, and I also bit. Even so, that revealed something about my own attitude! :grampa

I have heard of some churches that actually do preach against neckties as being "male necklaces".

Yes I and know some folks who preach agains't wristwatches even with leatherbands.

Yep, the Independant Apostolic school I went to for a few years preached against watches of any sort (you could carry one in your pocket or purse, just not wear it), hair barretts (bobby pins and rubber bands only), and braided hair among other things. heh

yeppers, Bro. Scott, "be ye holy" for "without holiness no man shall see the Lord."

Get rid of that stuff like they did in Genesis 34:4.
That's a verse that you would hear quoted in a sermon like the neck tie sermon.

I believe its the gold (or whatever metal) of the watchface that's the problem, not the leather. Having a leather band on the watch doesn't excuse the shiny stuff the face is made out of, according to most of them.
