Do You Preach Braids Are A Sin?

And I didn't use the verse in Deuteronomy. I don't use it. It is intermingled with a bunch of other scriptures that we completely ignore and I find that inconsistent and frivolous to do so.

What I am talking about isn't pants or short sleeves. What I'm talking about is an inward spirit by which we choose our clothing. All of us. We can put on a dress that goes to the floor with sleeves to the fingernails and a neckline to the earlobes...

But we often still completely miss the point these days. I saw a picture on facebook today of a pentecostal girl. LIterlally... neckline to the earlobes... But gold pieces in her hair (not real gold i am sure)... very fancy stylings, her hair was dolled up with every conceivable curl & crimp...And yet most would say it was holy because it is a dress etc. Who adorns themselves more than pentecostals when it comes to hair? Very few.

I'm not trying to put dress rules on people. I'm saying that those who tout the dress rules the most seem to be missing the point entirely IMO.

Would you say that there is a limit to how a Pentecostal girl can style her hair? Or what about wearing stylish clothing? I want an answer, because I sorta want to vent about something.

Modest doesn't mean only much skin you have covered. It means moderate. So, yes, there should be limits.

Yes and no.

Limits as in good teaching on the meaning of modesty and an understanding of where our adorning should focus. Yes.

Limits as in rules that say you can only style your hair X amount. No.

Lists of rules don't change people. They only give them a certain set of parameters within which they can continue to miss the point.

In my opinion, it is none of my business how a Pentecostal girl or woman or boy or man styles his/her hair. Or how long or how short their hair is. Or how they dress. That is between them and God. He is their Judge. I am not their judge. I believe each person should dress/act/talk the way they think pleases God and completely ignore my opinion and the opinion of anyone else.
