Re: The Trouble With Apostolics is...
"The movement loves standards of holiness more than the spirit of holiness."
I could name dozens of instances in which Apostolics follow a rule without following the spirit in which it was created.
Jewelry is evil, and will send you to Hell, but Apostolic women wear all sorts of beads and cheap jewels in their outlandish hairdos.
Going to organized sports events is wrong, but we can listen to it on the radio, watch it online, get in arguments about whose team is best, and wear MLB and NFL apparel.
TV is evil, but Netflix, Vudu, Hulu and all of the other internet delivery systems are okay.
Abortion is wrong, but the death penalty is okay.
Non-tithers are Hell-bound, but tax cheats find mercy.
On and on and on.
