No, with your post here, it is apparent that you are the authority on what is what!!! Praise Manly? Warrior! You need no scriptural references, which is perhaps why you posted none. You ARE the scriptures, I guess.

BTW, when hasn't the world been in trouble?

Some here have used a boilerplate arguments and act as if we go back to the good old days of so-called Godly clothing, etc, that the world will come back to Jesus.

When was it ever really with Jesus to need to come back to him?

Most sin was swept under the rug in communities, and there was no proliferation of news showing the violence, sin, wickedness in homes, in gov’t etc. We think the world has gone to hell in a hand basket in the last 50-100 years, but that is because a 24 hour news cycle shows the world for what it has ALWAYS been.

So clearly defined behavior(s) means that by defining it and living it clearly makes it no longer extreme? Puhleeze. I guess then that all extremists need only clearly define themselves and live out their beliefs. Defining it and living it does not negate it being extreme - on either end of the spectrum

The Nicolaitians did a halfway decent job of defining themselves, and certainly lived it out among themselves and their families. Did that negate their extremism? No. And neither would it if someone on the polar opposite end did the same.

Allowing what is normal is the problem?

Would the absence of wearing no makeup, wearing long dresses, not wearing shorts, etc...is that normal?

I'm not saying that it is abnormal, but just because that behavior isn't necessarily abnormal doesn't automatically qualify it for being normal.

1.) Normal would be going to neither extreme: A.) neither Lady Gaga, nor B.) Duggar.

2.) And where have I argued for low standards? Men wearing pants that are made for men, women wearing pants that are made for women, the wearing of makeup (yes, one can wear too much makeup, but that isn't at issue here as wearing makeup isn't sinful), etc isn't sinful or low standards.

How is advocating that society should be neither Lady gaga nor Duggar advocating low standards?

You imply that the Duggars are the poster children for favorable behavior. How?

How is being on one end of the polar spectrum favorable behavior?

Bringing up the left as some Straw man will not help you.

How is going the Duggar route the way to be against the left? Wearing makeup, wearing shorts, wearing pants makes one leftist? One jas to do none of theses to be agianst the left? Puhleeze.

One can wear makeup, wear pants, wear shorts and still not be a leftist or worldly for that matter.

Liberty requires responsibility, but liberty does not need extremes.
