BagLova: Are they apologizing for the bling, expensive dress, slight makeup, permed hair or diamond ring?

It is an unspiritual person that wants to go back to the shadows of Christ in the Old Testament—the rituals, ceremonies or laws do not help us today.

The legalist will have women wear dresses down to their ankles for their holiness and forbid them to wear pants. Back in the days when the Bible was being written men and women both wore robes (maybe they should not even wash their cloths together!)-- I do not subscribe to women wearing very short skirts, or dress as if they are going to a club as they are not to use their freedom to stumble others). But the church is not allowed to make its own rules outside the Bible to control this. People are to be taught biblical principles to gain understanding so they won’t do this, not just be forbidden by rules

In a legalistic church they cannot go to movies or play games. Men must have their hair short, women long. But men wore their hair longer back in biblical days! A Nazarite was not to cut his hair at all. Women are not fraternize with men by a swimming pool or be baptized with them. They are forbidden to go out with other couples. Much of this gets to be ridiculous. Certainly there are lines to be upheld but there are extremes that damage people more than help them.

There is always a potential misuse of pastoral authority on the part of some pastors. We are not just referring to quirky ideas but teachings that remove people from grace.

Diotrephes (3 Jn. 9-10) is a example of a pastor that lorded it over the flock, demanded unquestioning loyalty and his pastoral authority was abused does not encourage people to test him continually by God’s Word. He even forbade the assembly to be with other believers outside themselves, even the apostles.

One of the marks of a cult is the way people are treated when they question authority (for good reason) and then refuse to follow the leadership. When people are asked to submit to a church without question, submit to the pastor or leadership without good reason there is a problem. Once a person no longer submits to the doctrines of a church or come under the “authority” of a church or the cult’s leadership they are made miserable if they stay. They are mistreated and even asked to leave. It does not matter if the church is large or small, cult-like churches come in all sizes. In fact, it is far easier to have people leave a large church because they will not be noticed they left.
