Thanks.

Do you think the 75 minutes it takes to put on makeup for some women is the best investment of time?

Surely they don't witness 75 minutes a day.
how does a tie win souls? Sily questionm isn't it?

I'm interested on any scriptures you might have that show Gods against makeup.

Ask someone wearing a tie.

thread is about cosmetics. not hair, ties or hot pants. When folks avoid responses, they change the subject.

Do prostitutes wear make up? Why?

Should women be conscious of wearing makeup like a hooker? I think so.
The only thing more predictable than the "prostitutes do it, so it's a sin" argument is the "pagans used to do it, so it's a sin".

That line of reasoning is old, tired, and weak.

So if certain pagans used to go on their rooftops at sunrise to pray to their god... now that makes it wrong for me to pray to my God on my rooftop at sunrise?? Makes no sense, but that's the kind of conclusion you get when you apply their reasoning consistently.

It's called guilt by association.

Pagans worshiped on Sunday...Pagans worshiped on just about every day of the week

Aah... yes. I havent heard that one for a while.

A standard argument for the Seventh Day Adventists, etc.

I'm assuming Coadie and his other buddies here worship on Sunday. I wonder if they know that there are Sabbatarian Apostolics who will make the argument that they are following a pagan practice if they worship on Sunday?

Nope Seven days. Actually between house church, small groups and hombe bible studies, sometimes it is daily.

Back to paint jobs. Why did the egyptians pass on their rituals?

Where did you read that the Egyptians started this? Maybe they got it from Israel.
