Liberties or The Devil's Lair?
Wine toast at a wedding.
A dance for the Bride and Groom.
Champagne on your anniversary.
Makeup to cover zits and imperfections.
Water skiing in a swimsuit.
Occasionally watching a movie (in your living room or theatre).
I have no issues with these, nor see any scriptural support for opposing them.
What say you? Based on this, can I still be considered "Holiness"? Or am I in the Devil's lair?

Re: Liberties or The Devil's Lair?
Or maybe you're lookin to rial up one of those hard nose conservatives then talk about how legalistic and uneducated he is? Maybe you'd like to show everyone how those Ultra Cons are mean and hateful and focus so much on the outside that they are a cesspool of bitterness on the inside? Maybe you're looking for oppurtunity to accuse the brethren? If that's the case (and i sincerely hope it isn't) then the answer is no, that isn't holiness of heart.

Well no, I am not. I don't think my record here on AFF would bear that out either. The question is serious, though I am having a bit of fun asking it.
Admittedly, the "Devil's Lair" thing is a bit TIC.
My entire Mennonite family, and my wife and her family are more conservative than I, yet I don't think any of them are bitter, or necessarily legalistic etc.

ok good! 
And an honest answer...i don't agree with you that the majority of these things are ok. Maybe with the exception of a dance between the bride and groom. But i do not know the condition of your heart and wouldn't try to say.

Ya, I am actually completely with Hoovie but believe it is a set-up question. But didn't Jesus make more then one set-up question? Anyways, I understand what he is trying to say. If we broke it down to a specific point in the first post, what would ultra-cons say to something like wine being served at a members wedding reception?
Or a dance between the bride and groom? After all, isn't it supposed to be THEIR wedding?

I think i should have either avoided this thread altogether or Worded my first post a bit more carefully
I know my original post is not really Hoovie's character (although it may be of many on this forum). I apologize to all i may have offended.
