Did Jesus ever kill anyone?

To many, your disagreement with the dress codes would be tantamount to Timmy's disagreement with the bible as a whole, but to YOU it's much different. It all depends on who's turf is trying to be protected. I know some pastors who would, with no hesitation, call you a "voice of the devil" and forbid their members to speak to you.

I disagree. This is a Christian forum. Christians believe the Bible is inspired of God. Toleration of differences in minor issues like dress codes is acceptable. I think that is a given on THIS forum. Maybe not others. But I do not agree whatsoever that trying to subvert faith in the overall bible is comparable on a Christian forum to disagreement over dress standards.

I guess what I'm saying is, if you're able to state your disagreement with pentecostal dress codes, then Timmy should be able to give his perspectives.

Sorry, not the same thing at all.

Eventually, people are going to hear his viewpoints and hear them from someone who actively seeks to destroy. So why not hear it here from a kind and decent man where there's also an opportunity for worthwhile rebuttal?

Subtle manners of subverting Christian faith are perhaps more dangerous! My opinion.
