I agree on all points to a certqain extent. I think the pastor said what he meant and if anything was edited more than likely sounded even more ridiculous. One chance....first impression comes to mind.
There are ladies/wives that have stressful high pressure jobs. For those types it would have to be a shared focus. JMO
Well, I think that you know nothing about the media if you think that they can't and don't edit things to the greatest effect. I know without a doubt that if anything more ridiculous had been said, they would have been all over it. Also, I know this pastor, and he is no idiot.
Once again I am reminded why I don't come to this board very often any more!
You folks are so stereotypical and biased toward your liberal gobbledy gook! You have become worldly, not because of your dress or appearance, but because you have embraced the secular world view of the home and all associated with it!

I am certain that this was edited so much that we actually have no idea what the actual interview was like! No apostolic should ever allow themselves to interviewed without insuring that the entire interview will be played.
That is what I referred to earlier. You also tape. If anything takes on creative editing you show and offer the unedited piece.
Our pastor stated something to the effect that even if a wife works, her focus should be the home. It's her domain. A husband should support her in such. And yes, us men should help around the house and with the kids. If the husband is suppose to be like Christ in the home, then who should be the greatest servant in the home?????
As far as the interview, i think we should give some grace to the pastor. he's probably not used to being interviewed on a news camera. And maybe he said some stuff in way he might take back now and wish he said it different. Kinda like after preaching i look backed and could have said some things different or didn't mean it like it sounded.
I don't like what he said regarding standards help them stay christains, but maybe he doesn't mean it the way it sounds.
I agree with your statements.
Since no one on here seems to know the pastor who was interviewed personally, none of us can judge what he did and didn't say and what he did and didn't mean. We all know how media reports things...
We don't know what was said and left out of the interview. Maybe nothing was... maybe he just did a poor job of explaining it.
I can speak from my own experience as well...I know that my lifestyle has been a conversation starter many many times over the years... it hasn't once caused anyone to not want to know more about what I believe... quite the contrary.
And it hasn't stopped the people we've brought to church, or taught home bible studies to, from coming to the Lord either.
Our neighbour lady has been coming for three months... she doesn't own a skirt... no one is forcing her to do anything, and she's still coming.
The greatest criticisms I've had in my lifetime over my outward dress has not come from the "unchurched" or even the other churches in Christiandom but it has come from those who once adhered to the same "standards" of dress and who now scorn them as though I were in bondage.

Yeah, I agree. My dad was contacted by a local radio station years ago, wanting to do a discussion with other local pastors on the Godhead, and he would only agree to do it if they would play the discussion in it's entirety.

I agree that for the most part standards are a conversation starter. It can open up great doors and can also close them at the same time. I have seen it. Though it is not the case all the time it does happen more than what one might think.
I think the reason there is criticism from those that do not follow standards/dresscode is because the people feel that they were taken advantage of by the men and women that led them. Also, people that have chose not to follow the dress code also catch criticism from those that still follow them. "You left the truth, " stuff like that. I am one that used to adhere to the dresscode but do not now. I do think that there are yokes that are placed on saints that are unneeded. But the real truth is someone has to accept that lifestyle or they are virtually preached at on Sundays (at most churches). I do not scorn anyone that believes they are essential to salvation, though I do not agree with them at all.

...I'm blessed. My pastor doesn't preach on Sundays on things like ladies dress... he teaches on it maybe once a year in a Bible study...
I don't know many clothesline preachers in our area... I do understand there are some out there who preach more about women's clothing than they do about the plan of salvation... or so it seems. That's a shame.
I'm sure this pastor is wishing he hadn't have cast his pearls before swine...
The world today is out for Christian blood... of any denomination.
