I keep telling you guys that very thing that you end up missing......if you don't go within you go without. If you don't go looking for God within yourself you'll end up going with out ( outside your self) to find God. Unfortunately the majority of this world go without i.e search out side of themselves.
And hey dude...there ain't nothing like the law of God...what law is this???

By that argument, if they wore less ribbons, collars etc they would have less love for all this in their heart. Hence it would be prudent to add that wearing less proves more love for other things, eg God. Why then for God's sakes do you have a problem with how people dress???? If they dress more you have a problem if they dress less you have a problem........why not seek to purify their hearts regardless of what they wear????

I have no enemy like Satan. God has no enemy. A God of love would not have an iota of hatred for anything or anyone. By creating Satan you have made an equal and opposite force to God, yet you know there is none other than the One That Is All There Is.

There you go mocking God again! Are you saying that this Body that God created for everyone is something we should be ashamed of??? Are you ashamed of your body teejay? What we wear is just something that society has agreed (over a period of time ) conforms to our ideas of modesty. God wouldn't care less if we wore clothes or not......that is what is called loving someone unconditionally.

Simplicity is complex......many people do not understand people who are simple.

Teejay, if you have doubts about what i say ask God.....truly deeply ask God....will get the same replies I have mentioned here.....the oracle of truth....... is infallible.
