This gets better and better! Where is it, specifically, in the Bible where there is this "allowance" of sin for newborn Christians as opposed to mature Christians? Here I thought sin was sin and, when finished, it results in death. What is the timeframe for this, because I'm sure you've met (as I have met) Christians who have been in church decades who are spiritually infantile. So what are the terms, conditions and timeframe for your theology?

Thus, DEu. 22:5 does not precisely say pants. However, it includes pants because pants are worn and Deu. is about what is worn. Sorry that is to difficult a concept.

Prove it. You have nothing besides Priests wearing underwear and 3 Jewish guys wearing what may possibly be hose. Neither are pants. Nor is there any mention in the Bible of women wearing only dresses.

Isn't sin sin? Is there a newborn Christian version vs a mature Christian version of sin - where one is saved from hell, but the other burns in it?

Again, with the noncommittal answer.

If sin is sin
and sin = death, hell and the lake of fire

And if women wearing pants = sin

Then women wearing pants = death, hell and the lake of fire.

Man up and just admit it. That's what you believe. Stop with this, "Well, there are various levels of Christians and what's allowable versus what's not allowed, depending on the length of time put in and whether you're mature or newborn. But God is the judge."

smh

Who are you, Joel Olsteen? Can't you just state what you believe, instead of giving this kind of pussyfooted, weak, pathetic answer?

The verse you have placed all your hopes in calls it an abomination. That's the same charge as lying, adultery, murder and other sins.

I mean, from your post, no sin is actually a sin, and it depends on whether you're a newborn or mature Christian as to whether your sin is allowed.

Are you a mature Christian, Pliny?
