Re: Military Service
Don't get me started!
People try to act like the New Testament somehow makes a just killing wrong when the truth is that God's moral law has never changed.
One of the 10 commandments is not to kill yet the Children of Israel killed an awful lot of people under God's blessing and direction.
Clearly there are distinctions between murder and just killing such as serving to enforce the laws of a country as a policeman or a country's security interests by being a soldier.

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
