BTW the reason for bringing up the other points was the assertion that such stuff was about modesty and later called Tradition and that those that called it tradition got rid of the standards.....not just an argument about makeup, but the response goes to that point you raised....Even the more conservative amoung us have gotten rid of a lot of "standards" that were once called modesty but later called tradition. Does that mean we never should have gotten rid of them?

Also many of our old timers never did have all these standards. Many of the old timers were fine with jewelry. It was another segment that fought against it. Your argument would be more true if and only if every one always believed in these standards.

Good post.

Of course, prostitutes also wear panty-hose. So I guess we should preach against panty-hose too. Lord knows, we wouldn't want our good Pentecostal women to do do anything that prostitutes also do.

Why cant people see the fallacy of that kind of logic?

It's similar to the "hippies have beards, so Pentecostal men shouldnt have beards" irrationality that's common in some parts of Pentecost.

We can also ask, do con artists wear suits? Why? (to deceive you into thinking they are legit)

Do professional business women wear makeup? Why? Not every woman wearing makeup is doing it because they want to get paid for having sex.

Should women be conscious of wearing makeup like a hooker? I think so.

Are you afraid to discuss cosmetics?

so you are unable to discuss cosmetics as a stand alone topic?

If you were for real, the position could be discussed and defended on it's own merits.

You are still struggling with the need to wear paint. I know why the world installs paint and I know women that leave the church start wearing paint. No one wants to let me know why they can't submit their need to be painted to the Lord.

This is hilarious!

You are accusing someone else of not being able to defend their position and not staying on topic?????

I have never spoken of a "need to wear paint". That's a false argument and you know it full well.

You're the one struggling here. I'm not afraid to discuss the cosmetics issue with you. In fact, I was one who first asked you for your scriptural basis on this , and you've been dancing ever since. You've given us "reasons" based on history, psychology, human logic, etc, but I havent seen a shred of scripture from you on this.

Apparently, somebody must have stolen your bible. When they bring it back, feel free to find those scriptures for us and show us those verses.

Blessings to you.
