You seem to be having an inordinate amount of difficulty with a relatively simple concept. This professed confusion acts as a distraction from the message of the posted article. You're a protestant minister. Why don't you read the relevant verses of Scripture and come to some conclusions?
But why is ugly and repulsive more spiritual?
Who says that a woman painted to look like a whore is more beautiful? No, she is sending a message, but she is not more beautiful. A woman with the "unfailing beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit" is many times over more attractive than some woman dressed to look like the current "pop tart" on the music charts. A woman with a soul that is filled with the grace of God will radiate beauty that cannot be duplicated by Revlon.
Tammy Faye Baker was a scandal to Christians everywhere.
We agree, but not as much a scandal as priests raping little boys
The "scandal " of the Bakers was not her make up. It was greed and sexual sin. It was taking money from little old ladies and building an air conditioned dog house with the funds. Poor Tammy was an insecure woman that thought she actually looked better with tons of makeup.
We are surely blessed that God looks on the heart and not the Max Factor
