PHC - Clarification

[Knight Fisher]

Yes friendly discussions are fine. But this wasn't exactly friendly.

This is happening. http://thetoo.com/viewtopic.php?f=128&p=970860#p970725 And you guys are arguing about pants... Something is incredibly wrong. Stop talking and start walking.

What’s your point?
I think people are probably able to follow two topics at once.

My point was how does this conversation glorify God?

Way to tell us to start walking when you're the one condemning us for having a friendly discussion. I'm sure most people have seen the thread. I did, and I prayed. I will do so every time I see it or remember. However, there's nothing wrong with strengthening your own beliefs by bouncing them off someone else.

You saw it and you prayed? Did I miss something?

Because we’re discussing how to best follow Him?

[Knight Fisher]

Fine! Whatever.

The thread that KF posted, yes. (no, I don't have to pray about discussing clothes. xP)

It's like the poster saying Steve Jobs died and millions cried, but NO ONE cries for the millions of kids who starve to death every day... >_>

It's taking two random things that really aren't related and trying to make a profound point.

I think to the actual topic at hand, I agree with Christian A., in that no, it isn't as simple as "God wants me to do this." People think God wants them to do certain things that aren't scriptural because generations of their family have lived under that guideline. There is nothing wrong with preferring a certain thing but it borders on blasphemy to say God wants a certain silly traditional thing of certain people, but not everyone, when that isn't the case.

I'm sorry, but I can't imagine God ever telling someone to do that.

Hence why its a hypothetical question. I'm pretty sure Christian A. never said that you would do such thing. But there are loonies out there that believe doing stuff like that is bringing glory to God. And you never answered Christian A.'s question about it.

And of course we have to go to the Word. That's what we're doing. The Bible tells men not to wear women's clothing and vise versa so we don't do it.

If your talking about Deuteronomy 22:5, I personally believe that it meant not to cross dress.Well thats how I interpret it.

Pants have always been considered men's clothing until recently. I believe a lot of the influence of this was from Hollywood, and we don't follow Hollywood styles.

Um... yes and no. Hollywood does have some impact on our culture but I'm pretty sure women wearing pants started to take great popularity with the whole feminists movement back in the 1960's (remembered reading this somewhere in my U.S. history book back at highschool). But hey that's why there are such things like "women's pants".

Like Justin Bieber wears.

I can't comment right now. I'll be back as soon as possible, but right now I have to leave my internet access. Sorry for the delay.

OK, sorry about that. I believe you are right about the Women's Rights thing. That stuff I said about Hollywood wasn't researched or thought out. I was merely repeating something I believe I've heard before.

You guys need to read this article. Visit http://www.godsrevivalist.com/ and read the "Dear Phil" section of the September and October issues. If you really want to know, and are not just arguing, then it should clear up some of the questions.

Anyway, as to what Christian said, God wouldn't say that since he's already said not to dress in another gender's clothing. So if you had that thought, it would not be from God. And besides, I'm sure the people would just refuse.
