Standards of dress

[subllibrm]

Sure. False accusations are a great thing until you get called on them.

And you're just a jerk.  I told you right up front it was on the old forum.
Carry on.

You are wrong about rscorner2a.  He is not a jerk.  He is an idiot wrapped in the shell of a moron.

And, in this post, you display none of the attributes of a Christ-follower. Now which is more important?

<maybe he should have said generation of vipers or whited sepulcher?>

I'm not the one claiming someone is somehow holier because they wear a skirt instead of jeans.

No, but you sure enjoy hammering down anyone who has any kind of standards. You do it on a regular basis.  Anyone who reads any of your posts sees your constant scorning.  Enjoy your liberty.

See, I am not here that much, but even I have noticed you hate anyone with any kind of standards not your own.

IMO, and here in lies the problem.  As if women who wear pants don't have standards. 

Just pointing this attitude out.  FWIW, I do not fill belittled or whatever for this attitude.  LOL!!  I really don't.

There is none so blind as he who will not see.

The problem I see is that when someone disagrees with your standards you assume they therefor have no standards. The leap from Capri pants to halter tops was telling.

Yes, I am reading between the lines but it is clearly there.

You are reading between the lines.  The topic turned from dress standards to "There was a gal who was a blessing to me that wore capri pants and a white shirt.  Was she not right with God while she was being a blessing to me?".  In my responding post I was trying to illustrate that it wasn't the way she dressed that determined God allowing the gal to be a blessing to her.  In my illustration I just chose to use a type of dress that we would both agree was wrong to show that God could use that gal also.  My point was that for us to say that you have to be dressed a certain way or God can not use you to be a blessing is false.

Pretty much. I'm sure in many areas my standards are stricter than other folks. I just don't try to force them on others or judge their holiness by my personal standards.

Have you met the Kettles?

You can provide a link where I have called someone an idiot or a moron?

Again, you assume word choice is where the wrong lies....sounds like the rationale of an Xer to me.
And, IMO you have exhibited the same spirit and condescending attitude to which you took issue.
As have I from time to time...but that's just my perspective and opinion....probably shared by others, but I speak only for myself.

Well, it's been an interesting morning but I am climbing out of this and taking my girls for photography practice at the zoo.

In our culottes and skirts.

Because we like them.

No other reason necessary.

Carry on.

Here are some thoughts that I have after reading your last post.

You just think you are better than everyone. 
Am I less of a Christian than you because my wife wears pants?
I can't believe you would go to a worldly zoo.
Why must you push your standards on everyone.
I would sooner have my wife be a Christian testimony while she does her photography in pants than for her to be seen in culottes.
Why don't you allow women in pants into your church?

Blessings and salutations!

"Train up a child..."  To me that means teach them the Bible and let the Holy Spirit do His work without my help. 

And hopefully what we teach them is what the Holy Spirit has taught us. This is offered in a kind way...

Actually, it was never about whether she was right with God. It was whether God could be pleased with her for being a blessing to me even though she had on pants. And the answer I got was "I don't know. I didn't see her." So apparently you could not answer the question until you saw exactly what she had on...whether the pants were tight or not (they weren't) I'm guessing. So, if they were too tight in your opinion, God would not be pleased with her. Even though I SAW Jesus in her and it changed the course of my life. That was the insinuation.

But..in the end it doesn't even matter. God decides what pleases Him, not us. And on that I am sure we can ALL agree. 

Happy Easter everyone! Commemoration of the greatest day in History! He's ALIVE!!!!

A rare post in which Matthew didn't use the term "performance based Christianity"...although it could be implied...

Eisegete if you like but not all of us are like you, in that we were taught to do things to please God or to earn his approval and blessings.

Romans 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

I'm thankful my sanctification is in Christ and not based in me.

1 Corinthians 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

Absolutely wrong.

I didn't realize until my husband and I were talking the other day now bitter I am about how people judge you on your clothes...it's going to shock a lot of people when we get to heaven how that was not important. I know we should look modest and decent. I will not wear things that are tight or revealing..thats me but to judge people is wrong!!I'm just realizing that a lot of preachers preached what they never lived...that is why I don't idolize people ...

Do you fellowship with them? Cause if you do then you really don't have any convictions about your standards at all and you're just a macaroni spined compromiser.

cast.sheep read it exactly how I read it as well. One of us needs to work on his writing skills.

Many IFB churches will not let you work the nursery or clean the church if you were pants.

Tithing is the only role that's permitted, in some IFB churches, for women who wear pants.

Deuteronomy 22:5
The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.

In the OT were robes considered a mans garment? Or a woman's?

If I'm not mistaken if a man wore a robe it was excepted within the culture. Try wearing one today, it may be considered a woman's garment in our culture.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
