And that's part of the reason some of our churches have not made the steps forward they need to.

Lord, help your people.

Do you know why cosmetics are such a major issue for you?

The 35 billion-dollar cosmetic industry is booming.

Charitible religious giving is 90 billion. If men don't do makeup, children don't it looks to be about equal. Tammy Faye baker sure was a good leader for the sector.

Now that's funny.

Cosmetics are not a major issue for me at all.
I dont use them, neither does my wife.

(As a matter of fact, you seem to be a bit more emotionally invested in this issue than I am.)

What is an issue for me is
1/ people teaching personal convictions as doctrines... (even more so when they have a judmental attitude toward those who dont share those same convictions), and
2/ people who claim to be astute bible scholars, but who wish to pass down various unnecessary & burdensome rules and traditions previously handed to them as doctrine... without examining all things to see how they measure up in the light of scripture.

Oh good lord, at least get someone that people really want to look like - - Christy Brinkley or something, but Tammy Faye's make-up was a joke to everyone.

Is the wearing of cosmetics just a tradition someone started to attract men?

Same place colored shirts and fancy ties are listed?

It is up to you,. If you want to continue these pagan traditions in moderation, go right ahead.

This is fantastic for the gay parades that do it just a little more extensively.

Preacher came to our church.
Preached an anointed message.
God really moved.
A bunch of folks got the Holy Ghost.
God moved mightily. Praise Him!
Message in tongues and interepretation from the Lord.
Beautiful presence of God. (gloray!!)

But wait!!!!

The preacher was wearing a gold tie clip.

Adornment.
Pride.
How abominable.

Surely if he was a true man of God, he would know not to wear such a thing.
(Maybe he wasnt as anointed as we thought he was.)
(Maybe God really didnt move like we thought.)
(Did those people he prayed for get the "real" Holy Ghost?)

Hmmm.
That preacher is lucky the rapture didnt take place during that service... or he would have been left behind, for wearing that prideful adornment.
(Doesnt he know that gold tie-clips are a tool of the devil??!)

Shame on him!

Lord, open the eyes of these compromisers and backsliders right now, lest your judgment fall upon them like rain! (Amen.)

You can't argue this any better than smoking.
God never mentioned against smoking.

Pride

God never spoke for clean shaven either. your position is with no substance.

Your heroes?

Brinkley married four times:

French artist Jean-François Allaux (born in Rabat, Morocco), (1973–1981).[17]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christie_Brinkley

last deal ended in adultery and divorce. Tammy Faye is dead. she married the man that fixed her husband up with a girlfriend. Roe Messner.
So how would you rate Christie Brinkley? Looks like things don't work out well for her. Ms. dysfunctional woman of the year awards.

Note to self. If prostitutes use make-up, is there a reason?

Christie brinkley shows us a model can attract men that do not work out as husband material. Suspicions confirmed. she had a Covergirl makeup contract.

Any other witnesses to success?

I'm still waiting for someone to give scripture against makeup.
