Ya, spring it on them when they have their guard down. Or hope that peer pressure will do the job before hard preaching has to.

He's advocating the bait and switch.

I was always taught that this would lead the women to wear dresses and not cut their hair too.

Case in point. Peer pressure mistaken for conviction.

Yes...this is the point I was driving at with my comment. We were always told it was the 'Holy Ghost' that would convict a woman to adhere to the standards of 'Apostolic Identity', and if she didn't, it just meant she was lacking and just didn't have enough of the Holy Ghost.

And while I believe that the Holy Ghost is fully capable of convicting a person of their sins and effecting change, I do not believe you can put the 'Apostolic Identity' and 'Sins' on a level playing field and expect the same results.

This is the wiggle room for the pastors to not take a stand, never preach it, say they believe it, tell people THEY have to take a stand, never draw clear lines.....just let the peer pressure do it for them. Seen it many times.

I am willing to sell the domain for them if they want to do some AI marketing.

Bernard:

I have enough on my hands that’s biblical without having to put my cultural, or even personal, expectations. So, a lot of things I delay.

things like what ... no beards or facial hair?

How long is the delay on skirts? How long with the live-in boyfriend?
