The title of this thread is, should we teach others to rebel against standards. If you dont agree with the standards of that assembly go somewhere else. We shouldn’t teach others to rebel against standards. The Pastor is in authority of that assembly, this talk of seats on the platform or seats on the floor, SMH. If the Pastor says no cell phones, Sandals, beards or facial hair you dont do it. It may be old school, we call that obedience, not to the man, to the office. If you like your beard, you can keep it but you will not be in leadership roles. If your a women and want to have a split in the skirt or skirts that come to the knee your in the pew and not in leadership role, if your Pastors preaches it that way.

Most on this forum just want their pastor to be a puppet of what they think.

Did Jesus keep this command?

It would SEEM YHWH had no thought about how rebellious a beard might make a man.

But......modern Apostolic preachers saw it!

God never said it was sin but rather it pleased him. Modern preachers just ran out of things to preach against so they just made it up!

Makes you wonder how he feels about preachers who think they are more discerning of hearts than he?

Nobody on this thread has said it was sin... it’s a standard and a good one.

Are you aware that the apostles were not allowed into temple but just so far? They weren’t Levites. They were allowed in only as far as the Gentile court, unless they were Jews. There was only one temple. Were the churches of Thessalonica, Ephesus, Rome, and Philippi, meeting in the temple?

You aren’t in left field. You are in the parking lot.

Another extra biblical doctrine. Do you have scripture for it?

Of course not. Because you made it up.

Deut.4

[2] Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

You’re making it up as you go along. Somebody thinks they have a license to manufacture doctrine. Get over yourself.

1Cor.11

[18] For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

There is no division in the modern church like the division between pew people and pulpit/platform people. And you brag about it?

Actually doctrine means teaching. That’s all. If you teach a standard, that would be a “standard” doctrine. The word teaching and doctrine are interchangeable. Universities are full of doctrine, some of which may be religious in nature.

Why is it a good standard if Gods standard was to NOT........shave?

Isnt it a case of teaching for doctrine the commandments of men?

So no one is saying its a sin but men are not allowed on the sacred "platform" if he has one?

Rebellion and pride are not sins?
