Not trying to be cheeky(grin), but I didn't see your answer?

So, do you have ANY standards at all?
Just curious.

Alcohol... The scriptural teaching is NOT off limits, but if some need to have it that way - I do understand.

Pants... men only? Yes in our family it is so.

Ladies should wear their hair long - Yes.

Guys should wear their hair and facial hair short - Yes.

Tithes - The new Testament pattern is to hold ALL you have with open hand - but if someone prefers keeping track and only giving a percentage, I will not judge them.

Yes - Believers should gather - at least two or three - on a "regular" basis.

Cussing - not good.

Movies - Regarding this issue I have faith like potatoes.

Sports - OK, so long as it can be done above reproach and with modesty.

But gossip? That I think will, grudges? Yeah, that too.
Liberal!!

Bro Alex, living green is one of my standards, not a religious one but one I follow religiously. I love outside and am totally into zero impact. Not just when camping and hiking, but living.

So, the question is.....

Do you people have ANY standards at all?

How about we use the Gifts and Fruits of the Spirit. Also the one where Jesus says to love thy neighbor as thy self.

Let's start with character as a standard. A standard that so many so called christians have left at the doorstep of legislated nonsense.

Character is not found by how zealous one can be towards anothers do or don't.

I don't remember facial hair being in the first set of questions, and why does it have to be short? Are you trying to send ZZ Top to hell for their long beards?
