Bro, what married people do behind the doors of their rooms, is none of anyone's business. The day I got to preach that garbage over a pulpit someone better check to see if I got dementia.

I don't think it should be preached from pulpit either. It should be taught in proper setting.

I find it interesting a preacher would preach about pants being immodest but have no issue with with perversion. Interesting indeed.

Bro, I'm not one to discuss certain issues with couples. I want people to get the Holy Ghost, THE HOLY GHOST (not the phoney ghost) to have a quality prayer life, to seek direction from Jesus Christ through the word, and preaching. If a couple has all that together loving God, then everything should be running smooth. I want to hear the word, book, chapter, and verse, not story time, or explaining how the Tower of Babel was really a rocketship.

So do you teach any standards then? Do you teach against facial hair. If so, why? Shouldn't Holy Ghost be telling them that?

Yes, I teach standards, but the bedroom isn't the place to have a Bible study with a married couple.

The Holy Ghost (if someone has the Holy Ghost) should most definitely teach them everything. The eldership is there to ask the questions, which need to be asked when someone has an epiphany.

Why not let the Holy Ghost lead regarding standards too?
