Re: The Times...They are a-Changin'
OK I will be serious - for a minute at least.
What CC1 posted is exactly what UPC hardliners hope to avoid by towing the line with something approaching counter culture.
The spirit of the age (Zeitgeist in German) is not favorable to anything absolute - therefore the church needs a clear sound, they reason - a black and white for everything.
A pastor that not only has rules but revels in drawing distinctions between those real Christians that follow the code and those who are "compromisers".
In fairness to those of this mindset - IT DOES WORK for some people. However, I do not think it ever makes for a very strong body.
