Re: A Crumbling UPC 'Fesses Up, AI is not working
I read it again and I am not getting from it what some of you are. I am reading that there are some very important issues that need to be delt with among new converts (like fornication).
Then there are other, less serious issues that new converts grow into along the lines of "Apostolic Identity".
Thirdly, there are things without Biblical precedent at all that we have based solely on preference or tradition that can simply remain unaddressed, given there is plenty regarding Christian lifestyle in Scripture and there is no need to place a heavier burden than necessary on the people.
This is pretty much the way it's always been. Outside the fornication reference there were no definitions given regarding standards etc. I do know DKB has voiced opinion in favor of allowing facial hair on men, so I guess that may be in the "preference" category.
