Why does it seem that men are obsessed here.......

Right, because we KNOW that men have no anointing of their own accord, but it is all determined by how women dress and arrange their hair.

The MEN of the Apostolic movement aren't spiritual enough to maintain doctrine & anointing if women don't abide by certain guidelines.

AND, spiritual men can't protect their homes if their wives cut their hair, no matter how much they pray and serve God. God only looks at the woman's head, and that is the determining factor for His blessings or His curse.

Men care about the salvation of women as well. Does it matter to you? How do you know that men care more about what someone else is wearing? Maybe men do have a problem with women who wear distracting clothes. Maybe some men realize their weakness and get frustrated at themselves because they can't ignore another woman. Why should a woman be allowed to be a stumbling block to men? I'm sure it goes both ways, but you are smart enough to know that men are visual by nature. So why get offended? Why get aggravated?

Eastman, you brought up an excellent point regarding caring for women's salvation; however, placing the responsibility on the women to prevent men from lusting after them wouldn't be fair. You're far more likely to see immodestly dressed women going to and from work then you would ever see in a church whether that church be conservative or liberal.

My salvation is based on what I'm wearing on the outside of my body????

You gotta be kidding me.

Can you imagine me telling you that you aren't saved unless you wear a shirt, tie, dress pants, and fancy shoes everywhere you go???

And this thread isn't about men commenting about women wearing distracting clothes, but men who comment more on women's standards than the women do. Some of them are plain obsessed. I can't imagine being on a men's dress standard thread and commenting about them the way men do about women's standards. I mean, what do I know and what do I care??? Don't I have enough to take care of with myself??

I have to wonder what visible aspect of the UPC the Acts church had....or the Galatian church.....the Corinthian church.....the Thessalonian church.....

I think men and women should wear long robes that don't show their shape.

I think some of you menfolk are quite strange.

I can't imagine being on a thread about men's dress and commenting about things I know nothing about as if I do.

Honestly, some of you have something wrong upstairs. I'm serious here. I think there are quite a few of you who need to pray and ask God to get your eyes off other women and what they are wearing and how they are wearing it. Some of you men notice more about women's clothing than the women do!

Anyone who has been around here knows that when it comes to women's clothing issues, there are more men commenting on those threads than women. Just look at the latest women's holiness thread!!

Some of you have a problem and need to seek God. Bad.

Yelp,I got something wrong upstairs,I don't have one.

I'm upc, probably always will be, the most powerful service I have ever been in was NOT in a UPC church

Some of the men obsessed with women's appearance might have some problems answering this simple question: "When was the last time you won a soul to the Lord?"
