Come on now, to say that the epitome of holiness is a prescibed form of dress constitutes ignorance on Apostolics that subscribe to that ideology!

We have preachers in 3rd world countries that the women wear dresses just like here. If they are right in their heart God will send them an Apostolic preacher that will preach the truth even Deut.22:5! Sister Alvear gets the pants off their impoverished ladies.

When you did you become the discerner of hearts? Only God knows the heart. Are you God? Is that what you are propogating?

Not in the least, but to say that cause it's Elder does it automatically say God has spoken?

Elder's post offered her as an example, not you. So...take it as you like it.

Is she correct to waste God's time and her energy on teaching those ladies to dress like a woman?? If you are screaming or smiling the result is the same.

Now we're jumping on Sis. Alvear? Or is it correct to say that the entire time you were eating lunch with AtlantaBishop you were saying, " Dude you're not right!"

Get "your heart right first", THEN God will send a preacher? Am I understanding this correctly? "How shall they hear without a preacher?"

What about Duet. 22:4... or 6? Not to cause a fuss or anything... but, the Bible teaches modesty and morality. If a woman (or man, for that matter) is dressed modestly and morally, I don't think its none of my business what she (or he) wears. As far as who decides what is modest or what is moral...thats between the person and God. But to take one verse...one verse... out of the Bible and say "This is the Word!" is like saying there is only one Commandment.

I was NOT evangelizing I was having lunch with some friends and members of my wife's family. But what has that got to do with the subject????????????? I fail to understand some folks their conception of all cons are they are ugly-nasty-critical-mean sorry if I don't allow myself to be poured into that mold. Folks are folks ultra-lib to ultra con there are just some mean nasty folks in the world and doctrine does not make them that way.
