I never said external acts of righteousness SAVE you. Nothing saves you other than faith in the blood of Jesus. If a man has short hair, never curses, always prays, gives to the poor, but NEVER repents and believes, he's not saved. BUT however, I believe that IF you're saved, fruits of righteousness should begin to grow from that seed that is deeply planted. ALSO buick, The term "Tribe" in hebrew means "Group, clan, or a people led by a chief". THAT was the reason for that terminology. Not "Tribe" in the sense of Indians, but group. Apathetic, just because it is done in the music industry doesn't mean it is RIGHT. I DONT THINK people are going to hell for not believing the way I do. I HAVE NOT ONCE said people are going to hell for these things. My argument is that the CHURCH is BETTER OFF being DIFFERENT than the world than LIKE the world. We had POWER, annointing, authority, influence, and PRESTIGE when we held these standards that you people don't know about because of spiritual corruption. Study how women and men used to look and dress and act and talk in the early days. THEY WERE IN STYLE,(meaning they looked presentable and not dirty) but also in modesty-and decency. My grandma ALWAYS dressed great, but never PROVOKED lust through sensual clothing. Look up Billy Sunday, Ray H. Hughes, Phoebe Palmer, people that changed the world, they ALL held STRONG convictions. I could tell amazing stories of God's marvelous power that i've seen in our church, that I HAVE NOT seen as I travel and preach in the charismatic and most pentecostal churches today. we've lost the closeness, depth, and richness of godliness in our lives.

No one has, as far as I could tell. Some of these comments have made for very interesting reading. Most of them make me glad I'm a Mennonite. :-) I was hoping for someone to shed some light on the comment Doug originally started this discussion with. No one has, as far as I could tell.

BTW - I agree with you. Buick, I'll take the buck as you pass it on to me. Won't be the first time I have been accused of giving someone an ulcer. I think I am going to blame and sue Dell for this computer ruining my eyesight. Thanks for the kind comment.

God knows the heart and thats what matters. Some people need to quit judging others by appearence and leave the judging up to The Lord. It is His place to judge, not ours.

I just thought maybe I could blame someone else for the ulcer this is going to give me. (I've never met you, LSB, but I've grown to love you in the Lord through what you've written here and elsewhere on this site. I appreciate your heart and your soul...and your way with words.

Every musician in Nashville that is playing on Southern Gospel CD's has played on secular music CD's as well. If you own a car lot do you only sell cars to Christians? If you own a barber shop (which you should with all of your emphasis on short hair and outward appearance) would you only cut the hair of Christians? I don't think so. As I said earlier, with your mentality, why stop at the musicians? How about the guy who did the artwork? Took the pictures? Did the mixing, mastering???? Made the plastic that the CD's are enclosed in? You are going to be mighty lonely in your little corner of Heaven.

I was minding my own business, happily reading other comments on other threads having put this TOTALLY distasteful sequence of blasphemy, drivel and innuendo behind me and YOU, on the "Open Thread", invited all of us back into this cesspool of self-righteous, phariseeical legalistic nonsense. If NonGospel wants to go back to a religion of externals, acts of righteousness and salvation by works (and haircuts), let him go. Arguing with him is like wrestling with a pig in the mud: before long, you realize the pig enjoys it. If he thinks the Nazarites were a tribe, let him think it. It won't do him any harm and it won't do the Kingdom much harm. (BTW - I don't have to worry about long hair any more...I don't have to worry about any hair any more. I do try to keep my nose-hair and ear-hair short but I try not to be legalistic about it.) And LeeStinkingBob, I blame you for this.

The purpose of the scripture about our liberties is to not be a stumblingblock to the lost and a stumbling to the weaker Christian. Interestingly, the loudest people screaming are usually those who should be the most mature in the Lord. There are probably far more that Guy has ministered to as opposed to not ministered to, but then again, I don't know and neither do you. At least his message is accurate. This is where I use Paul's Philippians chapter one that "whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is being preached. The reasoning that you use presumes that SG cannot possibly minister to Church of Christ parishioners because most of it includes music. Therefore we must reach everybody so let's do everything accapella. That is showing the absurd by being absurd. It is not possible to reach everybody and that is why God uses all types of people, even you nonSGfan, to reach people. This is what I choose to accept rather than a cookie cutter Christian approach. nonSGfan, The main people that get offended at the music or hair or whatever are Christians, not the non-Christians.
