    Pastor Issues An Apology For Making Girls Wear One-Piece Swimsuits

    Then I guess we should be teaching these teenage boys how to act maturely instead of just brushing it aside as "boys will be boys" and making girls cover up because it's too hard to teach boys to have some impulse control. That's how we perpetuate and maintain rape culture and victim blaming. No...

    Pastor Issues An Apology For Making Girls Wear One-Piece Swimsuits

    There are cultures out there wherein breasts are openly displayed at all times, and they are not even given a second thought as an object of sexual desire. In at least one of those same cultures, the girls always where skirts and the knees are never seen. Guess what body part the men DO get...

    Why do you think your god decided to make it this way?

    Pastor Issues An Apology For Making Girls Wear One-Piece Swimsuits

    An unfortunate and all too familiar parrot squawk. Making girls ashamed of their bodies and blaming them for the bad behavior of boys rather than actually teaching them manners and holding them accountable for their own actions is simply an imbecilic thought.

    Pastor Issues An Apology For Making Girls Wear One-Piece Swimsuits

    Interesting response from this Pastor.....but it reflects the ways of the world, not really the teachings of Christ. (1 John 2:15-17) Modesty in our dress has always been the Biblical recommendation.....and with good reason. Teaching teenage boys to be “men” is like asking a dog not to salivate...

    Why are people expected to dress nicely at church?

    None of those verses are about dress codes or telling people to dress up. You're misrepresenting them.

    Why are people expected to dress nicely at church?

    No one is turned away from a Kingdom Hall. Everyone is welcome to enter. Many people who have come for the first time come dressed the way they are used to dressing in the world. It could be as a biker, as a bum, as a warlock or witch. Friends and relatives of Jehovah's Witnesses come to...

    The Trinity

    A carved piece of wood or little metal object( icon) accomplished 0 for mankind---the perfect mortal Jesus accomplished it all. to the glory of his God and Father.( enemies of the cross of Christ-means enemies of his sacrifice. And as well--the greek word stauros-( stake or pole) was used in...

    The Trinity

    It wasn't the weapon of Christ's death that is the victory over sin, and death....It was Christ himself and that he died for our sins so that we can have the hope in the New Kingdom. Regardless of what weapon had been used, it wasn't the weapon, it was Christ and his death that is important.

    The Trinity

    You call the cross of Christ pagan? You call the instrument through which man is reconciled to God and through which our sins are washed away, a table of demons? Philippians 3: 17 Brethren, join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the pattern you have in us. 18 For...

    Believing

    I think the overall message of Bible is to encourage newness, rather than imitation of old ways. “No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment” Mat. 9:16 “…we also should walk in newness of life.” Rom. 6:4 “And that ye put on the new man…” Ephes. 4:24 “…And have put on the new man...

    Believing

    This is a good question. My first impulsive answer is NO! But then I remember that But what I am saying is some people have come to believe that it is possible to see truth just as someone else sees it. They even believe when it is told them "see it my way in order to be saved". The line...

    Homosexuality and the Bible: Part 2

    There's a difference between imitation and assuming someone else's role. Paul was an apostle. Jesus is the Christ. You are neither, and I think that you will agree that you can't do what either of them did. Yet you want to choose this at the cost of following Christ. Imitating Paul...

    Homosexuality and the Bible: Part 2

    So we should imitate Paul and not Jesus?

    Homosexuality and the Bible: Part 2

    1 Corinthians 11:1 Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ. 1 Thessalonians 1:6 You became imitators of us and of the Lord; in spite of severe suffering, you welcomed the message with the joy given by the Holy Spirit. Philippians 3:17 Join with others in following my example...

    Philippians 2:25 But I think it is necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger, whom you sent to take care of my needs.
