If a doctrine is true let it be recognized and obeyed. We are servants of Jesus Christ. If its man pushing his tradition, no thanks.

BINGO!
But therein lies a problem. Each has a different definition of MODEST. Each has a different definition of THAT WHICH PERTAINETH TO A MAN. Each has a different definition of LONG HAIR.
Some think their traditions ARE the Word.
The sad truth is that in our humanity, we tend to condemn others who don't share our opinions.
I remember a post back where I asked one conservative poster just WHAT his definition of truth was. He gave me an off-handed remark that I should read the bible if I really wanted to know. When he knew very well I was trying to get to the bottom of what he INCLUDED IN HIS APOSTOLIC TRUTH doctrine vs. what I think is biblical.
Don't back 'em in the corner with a logical question ... they resort to name-calling and stomping off. The disrespect isn't JUST coming from the liberal camp, I assure you!
Bottom line.. We have some who are still looking for truth. We have some who know the difference between tradition and truth, And we have some who can't face the truth even though they know it.
