Where do you draw the line?
If one is "born again" one is a new creature, a new person.
If one looks like a hooker, a pimp, or what have you, there is something wrong.
Of course we don't need to go into extremes, it all takes common sense.
Not wantig to upset some people here, but this is my 2 cents.  |
The building that you worship in, is it the Temple that G-d designed? Do you have a Holy of Holy's built in as G-d instructed? Has it been sanctified by the blood of the lamb and the Red Heifer. If it is sacred ground as you speak of then If I were you I would fear to tread at all.
In the new covenant G-d has purified us as his temple. He has made us his Holy of Holy's. His Holy Spirit now dwells in us. This is why you should fear with your mortal soul the insult and injustice directed towards one of G-ds saved. It is the same as desecrating the temple of G-d the most high. It does not matter how people look if they have been washed in the blood of the lamb and the Holy Spirit dwells within. Forget your building. Be aware of the sanctity of it's Saints.
