View of Holiness standards necessary for good Christian living & being Holy as He is.
Oneness Apostolics Pentecostal Christians for the most part and it is different in some organizations hold to a doctrine of not only inward Holiness, but shown by the standards taught and handed down to the saints for the outward and by sound logic and correctly dividing the word.
We believe in seperation from the world in dress and living, that we can see this seperation more clearly by our women outwardly than by the men, though not restricted or demanding more from them, than men.
But the woman is that beautiful part given to us and properly so by scripture our help mate to fulfill us as men.
The woman seems to have more retstictions put on her, since the worldy woman today and the religious woman of many religious sects and denominations appears to closely like them.
Oneness women are to live Holy and seperate, so too the man, the woman is not to cut her hair and let it grow long and the man is to cut his hair and not let it grow long.
The woman is to not wear jewelery (a more common trait of them, than man) and the man should not either, the wearing os gold and silver and pearls and such is much vanity and drawing attention to one self and not after Christ.
Women are not to wear clothing pertaining to that of a man and a man should not wear women's clothing and appear effeminate.
Women are to wear modest clothing and men as well.
The woman is not to wear paints and dirt and dust and lipstick and darken eyelids and put on rouge and such, the man also should not do this, but it again is generally not as prevalent a thing with men anyway (save ****sexual community).
Women are not to cuss and smoke and drink and men are not as well.
But most of these things are seen more outwardly in women than men andso it appears that it is the man getting by with something, when in fact he is not to.
Inmodesty of dress amongst women is no different for men either, but women are looked upon more by man sexually than women look upon men, it is a nature in men to look upon women more and when women outwardly adorn themselves immodestly then they can cause men to sin as they are sinning themselves dressing so or rather not dressing much at all.
Beach wear amongst Trinitarian Women and Men is very immodest and goes against scripture of being modest and we can see really exposed bodies in what amounts to no more than UNDERWEAR on many, be they young or old, male or female, but since men are visually stimulated much more than women, it is what and how women dress that generally is seen as conducting oneself to expose more so.
I have been in Oneness and Trinity churches, I know from neighbors and friends and relatives churched that they hold no Holiness in regard to much of this and immodesty runs rampid.
Scriptures address each of these points and can be brought forth if you think there is none making such statements.
I question Trinitarian men, why they don't teach their WIFE, MOTHER, SISTER, CHURCHES in Holiness?
I ask women why you don't obet the word of God when taught or if not, by your own study seeing scriptures and the logic that if you adorn yourself in a sexual way, how you are not sinning and causing others (men in church or family to sin)?
Some may want to throw out the Amish or Dunkards or German Baptists or some Friends or some calling themselves Apostolic (not Pentecostal), but these are few and rare and not the general denominations or Catholic religion and are a anomaly more than the main line.
