Believe it or not, I know some women who wear the uniform that inwardly are more like the world than wicked women I have only read about. Also, there are women who possess the fruits of the spirit and are mentally, emotionally, and spiritually separated, yet I couldn't pick them out of a crowd.

I am not sure and I question which is more important?

Does wither one have to be "more important?" Can it not be that one is not balanced without the other?

Yeah, yeah, I know some hypocrites too.

I also have seen coon dogs that wouldn't tree coons, bird dogs that wouldn't point birds, cars that woulsdn't start, guns with busted firing pins that looked fine but wouldn't shoot, and paper airplanes that wouldn't fly.

As for the4 separated women who can't be picked out of the crowd, i guess it would depend on the crowd.

But now we're getting subjective.

Carp, nobody denies that there are men and women who look Apostolic who aren't even Christians, judging by their fruits, but that doesn't really cut any ice.

that is just a part of the human condition.

I agree with you. Do we know how Jesus and the disciples were separate from 'them'?

In a modest dressing culture, it wouldn't have been as outwardly apparent.

We don't happen to live in a modest culture.

The 'be ye separate' scripture was written over 2000 years ago. We say that it means we should dress different. I'm asking how Jesus followed that command Himself.

There are lots of people who dress modestly that are unchurched.

Separation includes modesty, but is far more all-encompassing than just dress.

That is way too narrow a definition.

I like men. I just wish more of them were more Godly/spiritual.
How can you possibly counsel impartially with this sort of worldview?

Don't start on me Pastor Poster...stick to the issues. My ability to counsel isn't your concern nor the subject at hand. People with less than nothing to say often resort to personal attacks.

Sis, with all due kindness, when it comes to men, you obviously have more hangups than a telemarketer's luncheon and more issues than The National Geographic.
