Why do you think God gave us standards? The purpose is to correct those who are going astray.
Galatians 6:1-6 1 Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. 2 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. 3 If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. 4 Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, 5 for each one should carry their own load. 6 Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor.
Many people cite Matthew 7:1 about not judging others, but they never bother to read down to verse 6, where Jesus says, “Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine….” He was talking about people who are dogs and swine! To obey verse 6, you must make some judgmental decisions about the person’s character! “That guy is a dog! That guy is a swine!” Also, if you keep reading (Matt. 7:15 ), Jesus says, “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.” It takes a discerning sheep to recognize, “That’s not a true sheep! That’s a wolf dressed like a sheep!” It requires judging the man’s teaching as false. We live in times when tolerance, unity, and “love” (which usually means, being nice) are dominant themes in the evangelical church. If you dare to confront or expose sin, or if you label someone’s teaching as unbiblical, or the person as a false teacher, you get accused of being judgmental and unloving. But the Bible is clear that a pastor is being extremely unloving to allow wolves to prey on the flock or to allow sinning believers to infect the flock without confronting and exposing them. Note Romans 16:17-18 : “Now I urge you, brethren, keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to the teaching which you learned, and turn away from them. For such men are slaves, not of our Lord Christ but of their own appetites; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.” Some would say that it’s okay to expose the false doctrine in general terms, but that you should never specifically name a false teacher. I’ve been criticized and have had people leave the church because I have named men like Norman Vincent Peale or Robert Schuller as false teachers. But in 1 Timothy 1:19 , Paul mentions that some have rejected faith and a good conscience, “and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith.” He doesn’t leave it there, but goes on (1:20), “Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan, so that they will be taught not to blaspheme.” In 2 Timothy 2:17 , he names Hymenaeus and Philetus, adding (2:18), “men who have gone astray from the truth saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and they upset the faith of some.” In 2 Timothy 4:10 , Paul tells Timothy, “Demas, having loved this present world, has deserted me….” In verse 14, he warns Timothy about “Alexander the coppersmith,” who did Paul much harm. In 3 John 9-10 , the apostle of love warns the flock about “Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them,” but “does not accept what we say.” Paul names two quarreling ladies, Euodia and Syntyche, urging them “to live in harmony in the Lord” (Phil. 4:2 ). He pointedly tells the church in Colossae, “Say to Archippus, ‘Take heed to your ministry’” (Col. 4:17 ). He named names! The apostles were not, in any of these instances, wrongly judging others. So we must conclude that it is not judging someone to exercise discernment about ungodly behavior or false teaching. (2). IT IS NOT JUDGING SOMEONE TO SPEAK TO HIM (AND, IF NECESSARY, TO OTHERS) ABOUT SIN OR FALSE TEACHING. I’ve heard people say, “I could never confront anyone about their sin, because we’re not supposed to judge others. Let him who is without sin cast the first stone!” But this is to dodge a difficult, but loving, responsibility. If you see your child about to run in front of a speeding car, you would do everything in your power to warn him. If you see a brother in Christ about to ruin his life by sin or by believing false, damnable doctrine, love should motivate you to do everything possible to warn him. In our text, James was not being judgmental by confronting this sin in the church. In James 5:19-20 , he states, “My brethren, if any among you strays from the truth and one turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.” On a personal level, such confrontation is the responsibility of every spiritual believer (Gal. 6:1 ). It should begin in private, unless the sin is public to start with (Gal. 2:11-14 ; 1 Cor. 5:1-13 ). If the sinning person does not listen to you, then take another mature believer with you, or involve someone else who can try to minister to the sinning person. If he still refuses to listen, it may be necessary to tell it to the entire church and to remove the person from the fellowship (Matt. 18:15-18 ).
Trust me i am not reading all of these. Go back, read for me and bold where it says dreadlock is a sin. You believe your outward appearance is OK for God which is fine and same with others. Until you are ready to quote scriptures where the above is stated then we can begin our Bible study until then enough said! It's Monday morning. |

God has already made his standard clear, there is no doubt or beating about the Bush about it.
Exactly! So let him or anyone follow the standard God has made clear. Follow your own and don't judge others that are not following yours. |

How can it please God, the same God that told us to be different from the world and its taste for worldy things or the same God that told us to be modest in dressing and appearance.
Romans 12:2 ESV / 53 helpful votes Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
1 Peter 3:3-5 ESV / 41 helpful votes Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious. For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands,
Stop letting your emotions, becloud your sense of judgement, God cannot be mocked.
Thank you for these verses you just quoted. I have come to the fact that people quote the Bible without better understanding of the context nor the pretext and the text after the verse you choose or decide to digest on. Quote the exact place in the Bible that says dreadlock is a sin or where it says how exactly one should dress! According to your 2nd quote, i would like to ask if your clothings has been internal. Have you not been wearing cloths? Are you bald at the moment?? If you really understand that passage you will know God wasn't talking about the literal meaning of adornment but to have a pleasing and holy spirit and wives be submissive etc.. Besides how do you know his act does not please God Did God tell you that Himself?? Is there a certain way Christians should dress?? Like i said modesty and moderation should be Christians template for dressing, fellowship with God and love others etc Do not disqualify others for God! He knows how to handle everyone - of course He created us! Ire o! |

And you forgot that, the outward appearance is the product of the mind.
Proverbs 23:7 KJV For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; But his heart is not with thee. So, what has his outward appearance portrayed? People should go a little low in judging people just because of their outward appearance. Your appearance might be deep than deeper life outfit but your mind is trash! Know your God! Know that if He comes today you have all percent chances of going with Him irrespective of the dreads on your head or the ear rings in your ears because your mind is truly inclined with Him. Of course be modest in your dressing. And really there's no template as to how a Christian should look or should wear. Long story short, my take is that irrespective of what you have chosen to adorned yourself with (in modesty) plus Knowing God and having a relationship with Him, you are good to go. Thank you🙂 |

TheGreatIYANU: To be honest, I don't doubt this one bit.
2016 or so... (can't remember the exact year), Pastor Adeboye was scheduled to come for a Redeemed crusade in Benin city where I lived then.
If you know anything, you know that Benin and rain are 5 & 6, even in dry season.
Weeks before he came, it had been raining cats and dogs. The day before the crusade, all rain stopped. Hmmm...
A Senior Pastor in Redeem invited my Mum and I to the crusade so we had a VIP pass and I sat behind the place Pastor Adeboye was to seat.
The crusade started and thousands had gathered, but it started raining... just in drizzles.
The praise team continued praising God and suddenly Pastor Adeboye's jet flew above the stadium on approach to the Benin Airport.
Immediately he passed above us, the rain stopped. I looked at my Mum and she smiled like... "you dunno wazup".
The rain stopped totally and abruptly, and the Sun came out in its full glory.
Another thirty minutes passed and he was chauffeured into the stadium.
Choir ministered, he preached, prayed for everyone and was chauffeured back to his waiting jet.
Guys! It was not five minutes they shared the benediction and my Mum and I returned to our vehicle that this horrendous rain started.
It was such a torrential downpour, the streets were blocked for hours!
If you know Benin, you know that Benin + normal rain = traffic. Now factor in the storm, beating down upon us
My Mum and I got home at night, hours after we left the stadium. (It was supposed to be a fifteen minute drive).
I parked the car, we looked at each other and shook our heads.
Till today, I look back and marvel at the enormous power, God vested in one man. Wow. I had goosebumps reading this🙇♀️ 1 Like |
