    There are those who have missed church services for years. They are missionaries in countries where Christians can and are persecuted.

    I just sort of scanned thru the thread and didn't see where anyone mentioned if your pastor preached against the internet as a whole. Now I know many a preacher has gotten messed up in porn on the net, but just because a man or woman searches the net for good info doesn't mean that they are looking for other men or women or looking at porn, but is that an issue one would consider leaning toward a cult? I know it comes down to the issue with dress and sorts, just looking for some input.

    Ok baptist1611kjv, take a deep breath and stop getting so bent out of shape , and playing on words. If I said "your ministry" I would be referring to the work you were doing for the Lord, If I said "my ministry", I meant the work that I was doing for the Lord.Sorry my terminology wasnt up to your standards. And as to people getting saved in ( how shall I word this for you?) the ministry work that I am doing ,that is not mine but Gods, since without him I am nothing ,therefore if I was doing it in my name would be useless, so In effect it is not my ministry ,but ,Gods ministry in which He has called me to; whew!
    And anyway, you dont know me or anything about how many people have been saved under "GODS MINISTRY" with me preaching or teaching, so please dont assume that they are not.
    And as far as it being "lying to a lost person not to dress Godly?" Thats the most ridiculous thing Ive heard in a while. Please do tell what manner of dress is Godly, I do agree a Christian should dress modestly, but besides that ,what constitutes Godly?
    If you wish to discuss opposing viewpoints , which I do enjoy, is it possible for you to refrain from the name calling? :confused:
     
  4. Fraser it is sad how you try to get rid of clear Bible teaching with your reasoning. Long hair on men is wicked. The Bible makes that clear. Jesus had short hair by the way but i won't argue that any further. You can't show me one scripture where men are to have long hair but i can show you were they are not.

    I think were dealing with a K.J.V.O
    Mr Baptist, you sound like the church I went to. Your personal convictions, not mine.
    Great church! TOO bad its no longer around!
    I wander why? practice what you preach!
    Judge not, that ye be not judged!
    You prove to me Jesus had long hair?
    Chapter and verse?
    Start a thread on it, We should stay on topic.
    By the way Samson had long hair for his strength!!
