There has not been one conservative who has challenged the principles. The women in my family follows these principles. The men in my family follows these principles. Got a problem with my view? Tell me where I am wrong.
Meanwhile It is arrogance to define one's salvation by the article of clothing between the waist and the thigh.
The fact a subjective dress code plays an integral part of an organization's identity shows how far off people are. Paul identifies that spirit as a spirit of withcraft. Can't help what the Word says. |
It sounds like we like to stay in the abstract but avoid making any application. What if half your church thought short shorts on Sunday was modest and the other half was appalled. How do you settle this?
Where does Paul identify this "spirit" as the spirit of witchcraft. I think we often use too much hyperbole to make a point. This isn't an issue of salvation, it's an issue of ecclesiology.
Again, testing opinions with honest challenges.
