Holiness and the Facebook Generation

[Papabear]

I don't presume anything in what I wrote... I simply state for many "Apostolic Anonymous" approach scripture from a deconstruction mindset and what is can be thrown out. I believe we should be endevouring to add to our devotion and consecration... not subtracting..

I don't say that from a legalistic mindset, but just practical. I am not a hardline, right winger.. however I do believe what the Bible says about Gender distinction... I don't think God has changed his mind.... he still hates homosexuality.. the sin.. the act... the spirit... sure he loves the sinner... however he hates the whole "homosexual" paradigm.

He made men and women different. Equipment, temperament, emotive makeup.

Girls and Boys should be encouraged in those things that are distinctively boys and girls.

In this homosexualized culture, the church should be even more so aware of our need to be vigilant. If women ever had long hair, long dresses and a feminine deportment it would be now.... because it is so counter culture to the sensual, sexual and perverse culture.

To argue against this basic premise and ideal demonstrates a lack of understanding.

(And yes I am saying if you disagree with me you are wrong... that is the whole idea of arguing a point. I believe intently what I am saying... and believe it enough to put my name on it.)

HAHA. I like you.

Scott, we shouldn't subtract from it OR add to it. So if we realize we've added to it, then YES -- we should subtract that, because it was never it. Make sense?

Your alarm with homosexuality, I get it. To say women that wear pants are pushing gay culture is quite a logical stretch that I don't think you'll find many takers. Look around you -- not just your church, your world. Do you really believe that?

I agree with you! But I don't believe it's just particular items of clothing that need to be addressed, nor do I think they are the problem. Modesty demands certain styles of clothing for some situations, and I view modesty as more important than visible gender distinction. (distinction being secondary, and followed by what is culturally appropriate)

Generally good post, except the part highlighted. LOL

My wife can fix a tractor faster then I can fix a flat on my car. I bought her a (nice) cordless power tool set for Christmas a few years ago that she uses constantly. (She even took apart the big swing set we got with our new house and built a bunch of patio furniture with it. LOL)

And here "I" am, the artist in the family.....
