The Pearls are not legalists. You’re making a huge, inaccurate generalization. I know many Gothardites and people who read after the Pearls, and your characterization of them is bordering on straw-man. A student of the Bible, who isn’t trying to make it fit into a seeker sensitive, postmodernist paradigm, will see that this stuff matters to God. Pre-1960’s Christians didn’t have any trouble with it.

Sorry, I don’t have much patience for this debate because I know we’ve jumped the shark, and there’s no going back. Most of the people teaching standards have abandoned them. It’s a waste of time to bother with it anymore. As Christianity goes, so goes the country. It’s not holiness that is decimating Christianity, it’s worldliness.

We should strive for that which is neither seeker-sensitive and postmodern nor that which is men saying that they know how long is long for hair, hos short is short for clothing and hair, acting like they know what which music God is giving His church today, etc.

Did God tell you that a women who does not wear dresses or skirts is worldly? Did God tell you how short is short or how long is long? Is contemporary gospel music not Godly? What is or isn't contemporary?

Are you some Pope?
