Be assured A_R....That which is seen as 'party' is a trap.....it sings Satans praises though voicing that which seems opposite. Being seduced by it reinforces the grip of the evil one.

and the ones used are are the least suspecting they are being used.

now isn't that a convenient way to keep folk in controlled fear!

you'll need to clarify that one for me Fluffy!

I'm happy that that's your response fluffy....I have no difficulty seeing the humour in this either.

Perhaps you need to ask questions. I know for my part that any answers offered without having asked questions are usually pretty shallow if not useless.

yeahhh, our stories are complex and varied. It's just not possible to get the whole rounded enchilada into a few posts. It's a good reason for me to withhold judgement.

The point I was making BF was that of the similitude or the principle of justification by using scripture. One justifies slavery from scripture, the other a dress code from a bygone era. It was not intended as making no moral difference between the two. I favour modesty. Anything that...

ahhhhh, Birkenstocks and socks! what a statement and challenge for the fashion conscious. A discussion on the cold weather in Canada after a bible study on Zoom with people from around the globe brought up the subject of underwear. There was deafening silence and noises of alarm with wide eyes...

I think dressing or behaving provocatively takes a road that few foresee.

Self condemnation is a great enemy.....as well as the voices of condemnation the evil one feeds into our thoughts. Identifying what's happening here is important because it's a cop out to take the easy road blaming others for anything including abandoning Jesus (lack of faith) The lack of self...

I met some Mennonites in the markets in Belize. Their dress made them stand out like a sore thumb (not that they were sore thumbs) I was wearing red shorts which I had just acquired from a thrift shop....the only shorts I could find which reasonably fitted with velcro closable side pockets. It...

Nope....what would bother me though is the insistence of drawing attention to oneself by clothing worn irrespective of what the justification was.

why push the responsibility of your lack of faith onto others?

Hello Kobo I know you mean well.....please consider this story:- An Evangelist decided to hold a tent meeting in a certain City on a certain day at 8pm sharp. It was advertised far and wide and a large crowd was expected. Everything was prepared; tent erected, many seats all in their neat rows...

The book the bible is for the purpose of educating us re God's character. It is not for the purpose of using it to support a 'scene' where its members quote left and right and feel justified in their pride of being able to do so. Satan can quote better than any. Do you not understand that...

Be strong Favord, be strong!
