The papist 'bible' perhaps. It would not surprise me.

However, most certainly not the only TRUE word of God: King James Bible!
Your lack of intelligence is troublesome.

I've noticed that many homers and negroids wear hoodies now and decorate them with fake jewels. Why would they even try to make such a shameful piece of clothing look like that of a king? I think it is because they are self worshiping sodomites.

Either that or they learned it from the gypsies.

Zephaniah 1:8 And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD'S sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel.

If you really wanna bash on clothing, bash on something that actually deserves it. Hoodies are just worn for fashon. And I like my chemical romance, there not horrible. I wear hoodies, and i dont think calling me and everyone else freaks because they wear hoodies is very nice at all. So calm down! PS: eskimos need 'snow forts' for houses.

If the shoe (or 'hoodie') fits....

You people are the reason the country is going to hell in a handbasket.

Is an article of clothing really what we should be focusing on here?
Should we, as a people, try to help those who have stumbled wayward in their thoughts and actions?

Don't get me wrong, it is important to establish our morals and expectations to a high standard, but should we turn away those most in need i.e. the ones wandering and lost?

1 Timothy 2:9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

1 Peter 3:3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

Ezekiel 23:29 And they shall deal with thee hatefully, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare: and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.

God has plenty to say about clothing. Are you saying that what God thinks is important is not important?

What if they made a robe out of aborted fetuses and Justin Bieber CDs? Would that be OK? Because I don't really see a difference.

Redeemed Papist: Not at all! What God deems as important is certainly important.

But isn't trying to save those who have trodden a less than pristine path be a more valuable use of our time and effort rather than bashing those wearing an article of clothing?

Don't get me wrong, I do believe that the hoodie is an article of clothing that is unprofessional and overall disgusting (many people I have seen wearing them hardly ever wash it...) But perhaps by addressing the issue, i.e. the person opting for this lowdown form of attire, we can do more to help?

Zech: The idea of clothing is all kinds of wrong.

Everything God says is important is important. Who are we to say that not eating shellfish is any less important than, say, not worshipping idols?

James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

Redeemed Papist: Have I said something to offend you personally? Because so far all I have seen from you is not discussion or thoughts on the matter but solely aggression and disdain.

All I am saying is that, rather than attack those for their vestments, perhaps try to encourage those who have strayed into the dark realms to return to the good and light. Through encouragement comes purity, and who are we to deny purity of soul?

How am I attacking you?

I am pointing out the word of our Lord. Why do you secularists find God so threatening?

[Jackson Do Good]

From your posts, Redeemed Papist, I have seen that the Word of God promotes against dressing up in gaudy forms of jewelry and dress. And that makes sense, because to be humble in oneself can promote clearer thinking in others. And I do agree with this.

I ask you: Is it good and just to promote the purification of those who have become lost in the dark? Or do we ignore their pleas and let them flounder while blaming them in the process?

Because from what I have heard from you so far, including your infraction against me regarding the microwave thread, is that you would rather place blame and point fingers rather than try to fix the problem.

Once again I point you to our objective here. We are here to glorify and promote the moral framework of our Lord. Our own personal opinions do not come into it. All moral dilemmas are solved by God's inerrant and timeless wisdom in the Bible. At times this may clash with secular teaching and this is all to the good because secular teaching has no grounding in divinity and is worthless when it comes to being saved by God.

We are not here to make you feel good about your own opinions and pat you on the back and say you are OK to ignore God's word.

[Jackson Do Good]

Considering we are here to promote the moral framework of our Lord, which is the utmost in good, should we not then encourage others toward this same moral framework? A chance at salvation?

I'd love to see you back any of that up with scripture.

Because I kind of thought that was what we were doing. Or do you want us to cherry pick and lie to people to get them to think they are saved so they will be our friends?

Ezekiel 14:1-11
14 Some of the leaders of the Israelites came to consult me about the Lord’s will. 2Then the Lord spoke to me. 3“Mortal man,” he said, “these men have given their hearts to idols and are letting idols lead them into sin. Do they think I will give them an answer?
4 “Now speak to them and tell them what I, the Sovereign Lord, am saying to them: every Israelite who has given his heart to idols and lets them lead him into sin and who then comes to consult a prophet, will get an answer from me—the answer that his many idols deserve! 5All those idols have turned the Israelites away from me, but by my answer I hope to win back their loyalty.
6 “Now then, tell the Israelites what I, the Sovereign Lord, am saying: turn back and leave your disgusting idols.
7 “Whenever one of the Israelites or one of the foreigners who live in the Israelite community turns away from me and worships idols, and then goes to consult a prophet, I, the Lord, will give him his answer! 8I will oppose him. I will make an example of him. I will remove him from the community of my people, so that you will know that I am the Lord.
9 “If a prophet is deceived into giving a false answer, it is because I, the Lord, have deceived him. I will remove him from the people of Israel. 10Both the prophet and the one who consults him will get the same punishment. 11I will do this to keep the Israelites from deserting me and defiling themselves by their sins. They are to be my people, and I will be their God.” The Sovereign Lord has spoken.

And no, not to pick or choose those that we 'friend' to save them. The option should be open to all, a chance. Should they turn this chance away, then the moment is lost.

Ezekiel 14:1–11
Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat before me. 2 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 3 Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be inquired of at all by them? 4 Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the Lord will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols; 5 That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols. 6 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations. 7 For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which eseparateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to inquire of him concerning me; I the Lord will answer him by myself: 8 And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am the Lord. 9 And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the Lord have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel. 10 And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity: the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeketh unto him; 11 That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord God.

I really don't get what you are trying to say. By the way, I quoted the actual bible for you as you seem to have a problem with that.

God wants us to see how He treats those who twist His word and follow the idols of their hearts. Yes, that is your rebuke, friend.

Yet God also dictates that they repent. Is that not salvation for those who had turned to other idols?

Also, I apologize. I had followed your link of Samuel in your signature to that site and it led me to that interpretation.
