i just wanted to see how many people consider wearing all black as 'evil'. this whole topic got start when i was in jr. high. i went to a private christian school. the principal said it was evil to wear all black. so i studied the bible some more (consentrating on the matter) and found this... the two prophets in the end times wear all black. if anyone wants to know more about my proof then just ask and ill post the verses. |

Say wearing all black is evil... to me.. is stupid and wrong. it's making up your own morality.. which is wrong. if God says it's wrong, it's wrong... but He didn't and it's not the type of rules He makes... God deals with the heart, not these external rituals. I wear all black sometimes(though not my "style," whatever that is)... I guess they consider all black to be "gothic" or something...

It's not evil. Depressing way to dress IMHO, but not evil. I prefer some color in my life  .------------------ |

good to know that people agree with me... i told them that some thing... 'god sees whats in the heart, exterior doesnt matter to him'. they still were like... CANT DO IT. that was when i looked up some stuff. thanx for the points of view. |

Most of what i wear is black, and grungy looking. But i would try and steer away from Gothic things. But dressing in black is no problem, it's a preference. --D-SIPL ------------------ |

Yeah, saying that wearing all black is evil is being legalistic. ------------------ |

I could only get through part of that link because 'IT WAS SO DANG FULL OF CAPSLOCK TEXT THAT MY HEAD WAS BEGGINING TO HURT AND I COULDNT TELL GOD FROM GOD SO THE FIRST BIT OF TEXT MADE NO SCENCE!' ok anyways now that I got that out of my systom. (inhails) I feel better! I didnt read every post but I will say this: The text that the person had said we are to immitate God (I remmember it being Jesus but I dont want to look up that scripture right now) on to the point. Exodus 20:21 - And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was. Deuteronomy 5:22 - These words the LORD spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me. Isaiah 5:20 - Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isaiah 3:24 - And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty. There are a lot of things that could be said on the subject but I thought some scripture would hit a lot of fine points. We all have our own walk we need to keep viggalent on 'the plank in our own eye' so to speak. Instead of yelling about what is bad in a church we should be building up the church. Fath, Hope, and Love and the greatest of these is? Love! I think ive blahed enough... ~Angel~ |

These arn't little 'forum word games' and it's not 'nit-picking' when you type in all caps like that it literally means you are shouting. It seriously makes it harder to read when you have all caps like that. If you want more ppl to read your stuff, type in proper caps plz. I highly doubt you should be insulting our maturity because we noticed a problem with your site. You submitted your link to a programming site, people are going to notice problems with any site. ------------------ |

Im no kid I have my own little girl for cring outload  Pastor Gary. Also I did read just about all of it and I did get a head ake. Its hard to figure out what line im on when ALL THE TEXT BLENST AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM BECAUSE IT IS IN ALL CAPS. Anyways you havent offended me and the post looked clean enough... im just saying its nice to be considerit of others. You may have gotton thousands of e-mails saying your the king but with net goers we simply walk into the page and if we dont like say THE ALL CAPS we simply leave. You wont get hate mail or complaints from net goers unless you hit a highly riliguse subject and are a satomasicust. Then you get hate mail non stop from mostly Christians  I forgot what I was tlaking about... oh well ~Angel~ |

A pretty good article, spot on, on the points i read (sorry i have to agree that it is a little hard to read all in CAPS). I suppose us hardcore net users are suckers for Net Etiquette :P --D-SIPL ------------------ |

Hear Hear! The text was great though a little confusing at some points (still the caps hurts us net peeps that are glued to the cpu screen). All the love to Pastor Gary |
