Re: Stonekings Covering
How about wearing Islam garb while in their area due to their customs or traditions. Not me. Not Islam, not Jewish, not Buddist, not anything but Christian. It is THEIR thing, not a Christians. We should not honor any of the dead customs or give legitimacy to other religions. We are to separate ourselves from these things.

Re: Stonekings Covering
This is an example of a Jewish custom that I would have a serious problem just going along with in light of the scriptures.
They don't acknowledge Christ as their head.
We do.
I don't agree with LS actions as depicted in the pictures.
I still respect him highly.

Re: Stonekings Covering
*sigh* Some of us seem to relish creating problems and issues where there clearly are none.
It is simple...
If one wishes to pray at the Jerusalem Wailing Wall, then honoring the customs and traditions practiced should be a given.
If one chooses not to follow the customs and traditions practiced, then don't pray at the Wall.
LS chose to follow their custom and tradition...his choice...no biggie, IMHO.

Re: Stonekings Covering
Personally, I see no benefit in praying at the wailing wall, unless one had a somewhat preoccupied bend towards the idea of alleged holy physical places, which I think went out with the Old Covenant. Hebrews 9:1 shows the Old Covenant system had worldly sanctuaries. Not the new. And I am not interested in wearing any religious garment in order to pray at a place required by those who are non-Christian in order to pray at certain geographical places. ...whether to display a cool photo or not. It won't enhance my prayers. But, like Barb says, if someone wishes to do so, then knock yourself out.  No biggie.
My thoughts, anyway.

Well Mike, you and I can stand hand in hand on this one! Wasn't that the entire theme of the book of Hebrews....The new way is better?

No biggie if you dont believe Pauls admonition against a man praying/prophesying with his head covered.

No matter, the point is that the statements about LS being a hypocrite for wearing a hat during prayer don't hold up. One is a hypocrite when one says one thing and does another. LS says one thing--and does it.  |
I didnt call him a hypocrite. I said he was in violation of Pauls teaching.

Re: Stonekings Covering
Chritsians need to drop all this holyland stuff. That wall is just stones now nothing special about it, kinda like humans without the Gods presence.
