I suppose this post could be taken as un...Thanks. <br /><br />I suppose this post could be taken as unsympathetic to both sides of the pants debate, but it just seems blown out of all proportion.<br />1) You can't force priesthood to be given, since coercion is contrary to the powers of heaven.<br />2) If you have a specific problem with someone, you have to take it up with that person first, not with the general membership of the church. That's in the New Testament.<br />3) Someone wearing pants may be protesting, but they also may have other reasons for it that don't have anything to do with protest, so there is no call to make assumptions if we see it.<br />4) Sure, we want to maintain standards of dress in the church, but we only have control of ourselves and family members in our stewardship. We know we should teach correct principles and allow others to govern themselves.<br />5) If I'm getting all hot and bothered about someone wearing pants, I'm allowing my thoughts to be diverted from more important concerns, such as the worship of God.Michaela Stephenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04163084369311708249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6478273273186623663.post-43301804772357701592012-12-21T09:06:24.431-08:002012-12-21T09:06:24.431-08:00brilliant! brilliant!
