I don't think there's many "pants police" left on this forum. Or are there?

There are a lot of people here that do not believe in women wearing pants, however, they aren't police.

Apparently not! I guess they got tired of defending indefensible positions and abandoned the field. That can be exhausting. Disheartening. Frustrating.

You'd be surprised - - there are lot here!

"Obedience is better than sacrifice." This is the quote most oft used after the, "Obey them that have the rule over you" clause. I believe both these quotes, however, obedience to the world trumps all other allegiances.

His word is, of course, even exalted above His Name. Jesus Christ was subject to his own word. He was guided and constrained by it.

So who do we think we are to think what we say has equal or greater authority than God's word?

I wish some would post and explain. I bare them no ill will. In fact, I have been one all my life. In fact my wife and daughters wear nothing but non-bifurcated garments. However, recent study has caused me to understand the tenuous foundations that undergird this issue and some other "core" holiness doctrines of the UPCI.

Intense, objective study reveals that some of these "standard" issues are not core doctrines of the Bible at all. Rather, they are surprisingly almost nonexistant or even absent in scripture altogether. At best, some of these positions are so unclear as to be open to multiple legitimate interpretations by honest Christian people.

This is not to be allowed by certain hierarchy. This is what has troubled me, and I am sure many others here.
