Agreed. Thank you for that, brother.

The serpent was the first to use hermeneutics . Adam and Woman liked it too, at first. I like when Jesus said to take up your cross and hermeneutics and follow me... and don't forget your vibes and feelings. Remember that time that Satan tried hermeneutics on Jesus three times, and struck...

I love a good chuckle too. But your are chuckling at your own misunderstanding of my words, not actually what I wrote. Though you and me both know you are pretending. I quoted myself so as to show what was NOT responded to. I think you know that. Now, you are treating me like progressives...

You did not respond to this above. Please do not hijack the thread. Before you start the game, with one sided rules and a stacked deck, please respond. I wear hats. Some guys wear a baseball cap everyday. At church, according to Paul's instruction, the man should take his cap off. This...

I have limitations. I write that because I have been doing this for 15 years now. I have heard it all. Maybe I will be suprised... but honestly, I see a road to now where. I am just being honest. I have never seen it done. I have never see someone be unbiased. Okay. There. There is a...

Paul also teaches this. "But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!" - Galatians 5:15 I do not wish to bite or devour anyone by what I write here. Get your attention, challenge, and even warn... yes, but not bite. If I have bitten anyone, please...

Well, no. Much , much more than just this one passage. Amen and amen. And about the horse, nice play on the name. My horse is not very high, maybe more like a colt, LOL.

What I wrote was oozing with indignation, you say? Maybe a little. LOL. And your comments, also oozing with indignation... yet a little more personal. Your quote above, I very well could have written the same thing to you. Stop pretending you are on the high road. What settles this...

And then the" problem", as you describe it, circles back upon itself. Brother, and certainly you see the hypocrisy. I will use your word "denigrate", because it seems a little less subjective than the feeling of "shame": traditionalists denigrate progressives - progressives denigrate...

LOL. Good one. I assure you, that picture does not depict my feeling at all. Maybe yours. NOT mine. If you stepped into the room with me, I would love you, just as I even do so now. That is NOT a credit to me. It is the Holy Spirit that empowers us to love one another. I am fairly certain...

You did not explain this. It is shocking to me, that you would compare someone that follows, or does not follow, a certain liturgical practice in a worship service to someone that practices sodomy... or claim that I did so. Quote me. You can't. So, I can on conclude that you resort to...

You ask, "along with sodomites? " You are comparing sodomy... with a worship practice. I think that is a very, very weird thing to ask. We are talking about liturgy here. You could maybe compare it to foot washing, only more common - or, at least it used to be. And as far as how I read it...

No, you get it backwards. There is no custom of a woman praying or prophesying with her head u-n-c-o-v-e-r-e-d. From verse 13, Paul writes : " Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head u-n-c-o-v-e-r-e-d ? ". To which Paul writes in verse 16 , that the churches of God have no...

Sounds easy going and simple the way you write about it. HOWEVER, if that is all the Holy Spirit is trying to tell us here, then Paul would just say what you said. I do agree with you that modesty is indeed important, especially in worship. But if we carefully read all of it we recognize that...

Why do you think this is so? My take: Male and Female God made us, in His very image. When a man looks like a woman, and the other way around, it distorts the image of God. Satan likes that, defacing the image of God. Better it is that men dress like men, get a man's haircut or at least tie...

Ha, ha. Touché. Well done, brother. But, if Moses can make Cherubim ( Exodus 25:10-22), maybe it is okay for me to draw and paint a picture. Maybe. Great post. And thank you for making your point while still being a gentleman. You set a good example for us. May the Lord bless you. And...

I have studied the views voiced in the books, journals, papers, and podcasts even. I even know of the ones that are "nuts" (if you have read that one, you will get the pun that pertains to semen, LOL). None of those opinions matter. We should follow holy scripture, and not deconstruct...

Some have no care for art. Just like some do not care for music. I understand. To me, the point of me making the art and posting the art is worship, making sacred spaces. We do this with art, architecture, music, speech, actions... and, for some, even our posts at forums. Like someone will...

No. You are missing something. Paul is using the natural order , our hair, to explain that creation itself reveals to us also this about head coverings that the Holy Spirit is teaching us. You should read again, starting at verse 13. Paul writes u-n-c-o-v-e-r-e-d, in verse 13. And, there is...

No. She would be silent that day. Silence can be a thing of beauty, reverence, awe. On a similar subject, I think it is beautiful when someone does not take Communion, instead they do the gesture of crossing their arms... then the priest blesses them. This means the person has an issue of...
