    All this is fine and good as long as it's not taken to extremes. Christ said nothing about women's clothing - and no, not OT stuff here. Christ didn't say anything about women's clothing - period. He did tell me to deal with their own lust issues. That's dramatically different from conservative Christianity that tends to blame the women. Anyway, wear what you want (dresses, pants, camo, whatever) as long as you're following the teaching of Christ: the Ten Commandments, love God with all your heart, and love your neighbor as yourself.

    For the last 8 years I’ve worn only dresses or skirts. For the last year, I’ve worn mostly dresses because I discovered how comfortable they are and easy. Before I was on this journey, my son wanted to wear a skirt. He thought it was fine because I wore both pants and occasionally a skirt. The thought of my son wearing a skirt was horrifying to me so I studied it out. Since then, he has not been confused anymore. Now, wearing dresses is something I have come to love.

    I smell BS! I don't know what church you went to, but I've NEVER heard any church say you can sin all you want and God will forgive you regrdless. And if that's the case, why didn't you look into another evangelical bible believing church?! The EO online community, especially the converts, are notorious for being extremely obnoxious and off-putting, and that video just lives up to that reputation

    It wasn't a sin to have some wine in Jesus times however I think it may have been due to most water being not purified. However, I wouldn't look down upon someone for drinking alchohol if they became an alcoholic, I would be concerned for them. Personally, I don't drink I don't see any benefit to it for my mind nor body and that goes for smoking as well. I don't judge people it's not my place to. I am Catholic. In regard to head covering I believe in Paul's time when he mentioned head covering it was to show that the woman is married in today's time to show woman are married, they would wear their wedding ring. I too don't know everything however that is what I think.

    Proponents of the head covering often point towards church history meaning that there is “historical evidence” within the church (whatever church that may be) that this doctrine was applied for a very long time. Many proponents insist that women had been wearing a head covering for centuries and that only recently (within the 1950s or 60s) did women begin to reject the idea, usually because of an introduction of some evil like the feminist movement as though this somehow supports or gives credence to this interpretation. They never consider the fact that about that time more people were getting the word of God into their hands and as a result the possibility that they discovered that the old interpretations, held by many of these contradicting churches, were false. As an example, I recall when I was Catholic, I was shocked when I found the Bible to be contrary to Catholic dogmas. And they claim to have had the true word of God for centuries! It is logical to think that as more people read the Scriptures with their own eyes, they would naturally discover many false doctrines pushed by many sects and even within their own church. So, one cannot just assume that one specific and small movement or event caused many to reject this or any other doctrine. Still, many veil promoters will be bold to claim that no Christian or Christian group ever thought that the covering was long hair and not a veil. That such an idea only existed within the last few years. This seems to be a very narrow-minded way to think that no one ever thought that long hair was the covering for over two thousand years. Yet they will declare it as though it were a proven fact but when confronted no one that I have spoken to has been able to logically describe HOW they came to this conclusion with proof. Most people tend to make outlandish claims but never do research to prove these claims. As mentioned previously head covering promoters argue the mere fact that certain women wore veils, bonnets, or hats in the past is evidence of the alleged head covering doctrine. But one cannot prove that women (in general, not just Christians) who covered their heads in the past did it because they were supposedly following a “Christian” rule. If one must resort to going outside the scope of the scriptures to prove their point, then isn’t it possible that their biblical evidence was likely very thin, to begin with? They often add that many ancient pictures or paintings, whether they be religious or not, show women wearing some kind of physical head covering. But what people did in the past is irrelevant to what the Bible teaches; plus, people wore headwear for all sorts of reasons, and it doesn’t mean that they were abiding by what they interpret the Scripture to mean. The idea (if it can be proven) that more women wore fewer hats or veils today than in the past is not a sign of anything, whether they be Christian or not. It doesn’t prove people were breaking any so-called “biblical” rule if you first don’t prove that there was a rule to break to begin with! Let me give you a couple of examples that eliminates this logic: The fact that people believed in using CRUCIFIXES, STATUES, RELIGIOUS PAINTINGS, or performed INFANT BAPTISMS or any other “religious” work for CENTURIES does not mean that we ought to accept them. The long-time practice of a questionable doctrine is NOT evidence. It should go without saying that these examples are either not in the Bible or in contrast with scripture. False doctrines have been around for centuries; and YES they were preached in the pulpits. Therefore, how can anyone use paintings, photos, or even post-biblical writings to prove their interpretation of Scripture to be correct? All it shows (like crucifixes, statues, and infant baptisms) is that people can be wrong for a very long period. So, is it possible that nearly 2,000 years' worth of preachers and bible scholars got it wrong? Of course, just like they did with infant baptism, purgatory, Christian statues, Popes and the belief that they are infallible and more. And they were even preached by Scholars!! The Bible even mentions the long-time practice of temple construction but even though God allowed it to happen he was NOT in agreement with it as one can easily see God’s disdain of the practice. (Read Acts 7:47-51). The New Testament already mentions several instances where people were misinterpreting the Scriptures and teaching false doctrines. If the Bible is telling us that this would happen then why act like it would be hard to believe that splinter groups formed and followed their OWN interpretations that would last for centuries? Even with biblical facts people will continue to find it hard to believe that the people could be wrong for so long. The thing that I find most interesting is when they throw around the word “church” as if one should KNOW what they mean. The first logical response should be ‘Which church are you referring to? Catholic? Protestant? Anabaptist?’ All of which oppose each other by the way. Who exactly is being referring to when they say “church?” Most of the time people are sidelined by this when confronted because they haven’t made any real effort to know what they mean by “church,” when they say the church was following such and such doctrines for a long time. And when they start to add certain churches that contradict scripture. The logical response should be: ‘Why put your trust in them?’ Churches that follow a certain doctrine for an extended length of time are not proof of anything unless it stands firm within the scriptures. Our faith should be based on rock-solid verses, not because some churches were following similar beliefs, or the flimsy writings or etchings of man. Again, what the people did, however long ago, is not proof that what they practiced was biblically sound. So, what about the so-called “Early Church Fathers?” Surely, we should be able to rely on the writings of such people to prove doctrines, right? Well actually no. The most obvious reason for this is that it is simply NOT the inspired words of God. Also, if we begin to accept this form of proof then any false “Christian” group who claim to have "Church Fathers" can make an argument that their writings ought to be taken seriously as well. For example: Given that Catholic dogmas can be very ancient it would be easy for Catholic Scholars to lay claim that they possess the oldest documents from their people and therefore falsely claim to have the writings that would “prove” that “Christians” followed “their” beliefs. Bias will also very likely come into play here because if you are of a particular sect, then the “early church fathers” will be based on those YOU consider and avoid any other “historical” church writers from other groups. For example, the Amish or Mennonite groups would favor Anabaptist church fathers and would not likely consider Catholic Church fathers or their history like the Catholics wouldn’t likely consider theirs. This also begs the question: “Is your faith based on what you believe God wrote in his Holy Scriptures or in man’s writings? You can’t have both. Either you follow and trust God’s words or men’s. If you subscribe to the idea of “Sola Scriptura” then you shouldn’t be pushing, quoting, or relying on writings that are not DIRECTLY from the Bible to prove a doctrine. If you do preach this idea, you could potentially be the reason why some weaker believers begin to lose faith in the Bible by making the Bible seem less dogmatic. Some people may point to a “historical” book that “opened their eyes” that women had to wear veils. In one instance I found online an individual who would rightly say that we don’t need other books to understand the Bible, but then quote so-called “Christians” for a lengthy amount of time as though what they wrote was law. (See 2nd Tim 4:3) This is a contradiction. Besides, how can we trust what they wrote was true? Or how can we be sure there wasn’t any bias in the author’s writings? Or if what they wrote was because of a misinterpretation? If such ideas cannot be biblically substantiated or if they require a lot of biblical manipulation to try to fit into their narrative, then they should not be received as truth. So, what does this imply? Just that one must go BEYOND THE SCOPE of the Bible to prove their point? It implies that READING THE BIBLE IS NOT ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND certain truths. I cannot stress this more because this is very important for ANY topic not just about head covering. If someone asks you to believe in a doctrine based on non-biblical writings to get a BETTER understanding of the Bible, then they are implying that their argument is so thin that they must resort to other sources.

    The Catholic Church has the “catechism” which ties in scripture and the magisterums councils. These councils were done in response to heresy- as you can imagine continue for quite some time. And to explain practically all of the Main components in the ancient faith. Which comes in clutch. And father mike Schmitz has “the catechism in a year” where he reads a section of the catechism and explains it further

    Welcome Home. I love Orthodoxy. I am 20 years into the faith. I love that the deeper you go in the life of the Church the more you realize, the need for your own repentance, the depth and beauty of the liturgy, the value of the sacraments and the fact that the more you learn, the more you have to learn beyond that point. There will never be a point in your life when you can say "I've got it, I know everything there is to know about the faith." The cycle and rhythm of the Church feasts and fasts becomes a chance every year to go deeper. This year when i listened to the lamentations hymns on Holy Friday I was so moved by their beauty that I wept. There were no experience i had in my prior life as a Protestant that moved me to tears as the services and hymnography of the Orthodox Church does.
