What's the difference?

This is where you flipped. When you posted this a couple ago, it was a complete 180 from what you previously posted in March.

I posted in March that a Pastor can "request" certain things for those on the platform.

You condemned that back then.

But now you're saying ""as a pastor, he is within bounds to request what he desires.""

After I caught the flip flop, you ran off to figure out how to explain it and now want to claim that the difference is the actions of the Pastor. Nice try. The actions of the Pastor was not in question and has no relevance as to his role as Pastor giving him the ability to request what he desires.

That's the issue: whether a Pastor is within his role to request what he desires. Not the Pastors actions on whether or not it's enforced or just a suggestion. The issue is whether his role allows him to make the request in the first place.

If you can't see that, then you're being willfully and purposefully ignorant and dishonest.

In the context of the discussion in March, was the pastor making such a "request" assumed to be one to enforce that "request" by removing men from the platform or penalizing them by refusing to allow them to continue in their function over facial hair? Yes or no?
