Does anyone recall the wms's interpretation of Isaiah 1:15. Who does the WMS say this verse refers to?
When you spread out your hands in prayer,
I hide my eyes from you;
even when you offer many prayers,
I am not listening.
Your hands are full of blood!
@ KF: Oh, he knows. He was being humorous just like you.
@ SARAH, me too! it's just hard to tell when your reading, but I really want to know what's his Smurf name. Is he Grumpy, Happy, Hefty, Papa Smurf, which one?
Me too, which one, smurf?
The new one. With a NEEEEEW name!! Ahn-Sang-Smurf!
Someone is gonna bark at you on that one, Smurf.
Yeah, Gargamel will never leave us alone until we give him those magic shrooms…
Aaaaand there goes Isaiah 1:15…

What do you think Sarah?
You know I can't say that it's true, but I have heared that Jewish women shave their heads and where wigs. Can a true Jewish verify this? Simon or Hal
Also we can all see that middle east women cover their heads, so I don't know why, some even cover head to toe so that other men will not look at them , if they are uncovered, they will get a beat down, another thing I heared but not sure off. some say they so ugly they need the covering (J.K)
never taught I needed to know these things, but now I'm curious as to why they do it. Gotta go research now Lol!
Never heard of such a practice myself certainly isn't scriptural but there could be sects that do it, judaism has a lot of weird cultic sects.

Hmmm. you know what Sarah, I'm not quite sure on this one………. You got me
Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved. For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head
Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God.
If hair is the covering in the first paragraph it really doesn't make sense to say if she doesn't want to cover her head she may as well cut her hair off because in order to not cover her head she'd need to cut her hair off anyways…
Don’t know about that, Simon.
meh
If I don't want to cover my head then I should cut my hair off. This is implying that I have to cut in the 1st place. If my hair was already a cover, then I don't need to cover my head with anything else. But Paul says if I don't cover my head which is covered in hair then I should cut it off. From those verses alone, a woman's hair is not a suitable cover. But Paul says that long hair is a cover. How long is long hair? I have relatively short hair so am I to cover my head during worship? What about women who have hair past their shoulders; is that long enough to be a suitable cover? If I wear a wig, aren't I technically covering my head? These are serious questions. What is a suitable cover? Because Paul says long hair is a cover but if a lady was to have her hair cut off or shaven [shaven is obviously much shorter than having it cut off] then she is disgraced.
He is god so it doesn’t matter. This god is allowed contradictions, Emily.
Of course he didn’t Resurrect. Even Enoch was taken up to heaven without seeing death, yet, this God’s body still awaits resurrection. Wow.
Never heard that prophecy emily
As for elijah did you never study mission of elijah?

The reason I asked this question is because I distinctly remember being taught that the verse is a prophecy about the Catholic Church. The pastor specifically asked, "Who do you see praying with their hands open?". He then raised his arms up, palms facing the crowd and said that the Pope does that. When I was looking through Ahn's pictures the other day I came across these:

I was shocked. Just when I thought I had seen all of the contradictions…
I don't remember being told it was wrong to pray that way. But I do remember being told that the Catholic church and the Jews violate the rules of the cover.
I can see from this picture,
that he wore a robe, kinda similar to what priest wear these days, I thought they said he wore suits?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ahn_Sahnghong,_service_at_the_NCPCOG.jpg
Is this the same way the Pastor and deacons dress today at the church or do they wear suits?
Should they not follow his example?
he did and the pastors do dress different for the feasts
