I don't believe He is confused at all. I believe He sees our souls covered by the blood of His Son.
And He also tells us what He thinks of men putting burdens on His people.

Yeah because the Bible says God doesnt look at the outside...just the heart. Right?

That is not the reason I believe this necessarily. But, I don't think it says that if women wear makeup or color their hair they are not sanctified by the blood of Jesus. I don't wear makeup or color my hair, and not because I think it's sinful. Now the covered knees and elbow thing, I agree with, because I think knees and elbows are ugly. Men or women's.
I am not striving to be an Apostolic.

Re: I love being Apostolic!
I actually wasn't serious. I hear a lot of people say quote "God doesnt look at the outside...just the heart." Which is not accurate. I do believe that we must believe truth with our heart and that our hearts must be right before God tho. But a right heart is an obedient heart.

Re: I love being Apostolic!
Just because we believe something with our heart doesnt make it right. Nor does it make us saved.

This is true, that is why we trust Him to see our hearts.

Some say God cannot tolerate sin.
But the fact is he has been tolerating it for many generations. God doesn't need your list to protect His righteousness, He has covered all sin with the blood.
Sin will not be completely removed from the creation until God becomes all in all. That will be when HE thru Jesus Christ eradicates it from His creation, there is nothing you can do with your list to help Him get it done. It is His workmanship, when death is finally defeated, what you would sincerely like to help along will finally be completed, but this is God's world and His work, he could remove all sin today if that was His plan, but it is not.
The contrast between good and evil, is serving His purpose, He will complete it. He tells us to owe no man anything but to love.
Why don't we actually do what He says, if you will study the gospels, the life of Jesus, you will find that He never condemned sinners, like we are so high developed in doing. BUT, NOW GET THIS, HE REBUKED THE RELIGIOUS LEADERS FOR ABUSING THE FOLKS. IF WE WANT TO BE LIKE JESUS......???
