Split... "Womanhood" - Pants

(BTW - I am not totally familiar on how to use the quote and the multi-quote functions, so please forgive me if my methods are out of sync with the house rules on quoting other people's posts. It is kind of cumbersome for me to keep repeating the entire reply over and over when I respond, when I just want to respond to a portion. I am sure I will figure it out eventually Thanks - ngk)

No worries brother/sister.

If you only want to quote a section of the person's post simply delete whatever sections you don't feel are necessary.

You can also use the quote feature above where you type. It's to the right of the < > button and looks like a bubble you'd see in a comic book.

Best thing to do is play around with it you won't hurt anything.

Ah, ha! I see! It works great! Thanks for the info...

Now, how do I go about playing with that <> symbol ...?? mwua ha ha ha ha ha

However, no man has God's permission to call another man's cultural convictions about the clothes he wears, the food he eats, or what day of the week he goes to church, a SIN just because they happen to look or do things differently than we do. I have found that such an attitude is dangerous because it causes unnecessary divisions amongst the believers, and sends the wrong message to the unsaved, because it smacks of legalism and the enforcement of ritualism as a condition for salvation.

I wasn't sure how you meant this, so I wanted to interject my thoughts. I do believe that when we have people questioning if something is wrong, like working on the Sabbath, eating pork, the clothes we wear, etc., we do have a right to call such things sin if we believe they are sinful. The other person has the right to disagree, and then we have to accept that those in the church will never agree on every point. I think that most of the attacks on "legalism" are misguided. The only kind of legalism I have a problem with is when you say someone's salvation isn't complete till they complete certain steps like BELIEVE + WATER BAPTISM + CIRCUMCISION. We are saved by faith, but we change our behavior because of our faith, and I have no problem with anyone telling me something is sinful. I just may not agree?

Perhaps this conversation has run it's course. Time to find another topic.
