If he does, what does Jah say about that? Does the Bible make it implicit or explicit in regards to men wearing make-up? If Prince wears make-up, should he be reproved?

Additional Details

Responder states: "As for your comment about wearing make-up, that was in the Mosaic Law (which Christians aren't under, but instead their conscience), & was likely talking about looking feminine for immoral purposes".

Men wearing make-up appeals to vanity. Human beings naturally want to be accepted by the world around them. But what does God say about this? "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world" (I John 2:15-16)

It is IMPLIED in the New Testament by Paul himself that it is a sin for men to wear make-up.

Responder states,"you're mentioning scriptural PRINCIPLES. I happen to agree wih them, but that doesn't mean it would be a good idea to enforce matters of conscience"

JWs, is this particular JW responder promoting homosexual tendencies within your sect?

JW responder on YA states-"Again, you're mentioning scriptural PRINCIPLES. I happen to agree with them, but that doesn't mean it would be a good idea to enforce matters of conscience. That seem to be a very dogmatic & un-christian idea of yours."

So it is a matter of conscience for men to either wear makeup or not around Jehovah's Witnesses at the Kingdom Hall? If that's tolerated, are they also allowed to dress in drag?

In the somewhat newly found (2000) tablet called "Gabriel's Vision", did Gabriel (possibly an Archangel) raise Simon from the dead?

by I_love_Jeff in

the tablet has many key words missing and it is assumed by many scholars that gabriel may be the archangel mentioned here.

did gabriel raise simon from the dead as described within this tablet?

if this gabriel (on the tablet) were the archangel as mentioned in the book of enoch as well as other parabiblical literature, how does this pose a problem for those who believe archangels are not able to resurrect people from the dead?

Luke 16:19-31 Sheol/Hades/Hell? literal vs. metaphor

by I_love_Jeff in

jehovah's witnesses say this is just a parable and that there is no eternal punishment.

for me, i do not believe in eternal punishment even though there is a lot of information in the bible which strongly favors eternal damnation: .

the bible refers to the fate of the unsaved with such fearful words as the following: .

"Allegory however is not justified by the text itself, which contains a narrative parable (quite different from similitude parables) that contrasts the moral choices made by different characters."

@ Leo- forgive my ignorance but what do you mean by this? Thank you!
