Another Doctrine

Again, this is not ment to be serious. As far as I know the bible says nothing about guys wearing ties. The verses quoted in this section were completely taken out of context.



Trevor - A tie is a symbol of being held captive. Christ has released us from the yoke [which goes around one's neck - exactly like a tie] of sin. You see, ties are a symbol of being held captive to sin.

Elizabeth – we have now become slaves to righteousness so we are still slaves

Trevor - Yes, but
“For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:30
Obviously this can't be referring to a tie.

Elizabeth - We are to be slaves of righteousness (Romans 6:17) and the Greek word (δουλαγωγέω ) Paul uses there means “literally to lead into slavery,” or figuratively, relating to one’s physical body and bringing it under control. What does a tie do? It brings your body under control.

Trevor - Yes, a tie brings your body under control, but under what control? It brings it under the control of the sinful self who is willing to do anything, and I mean anything sinful to get rid of this tie. You see a tie brings a person under control, but it is the control of the sinful self.

Elizabeth –
1 Cor. 4:17
“For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, “ (eternal weight of glory=guys look good in ties)

2 Tim. 2:3
“Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus."

2 Tim. 2:8-10
“Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, the offspring of David, as preached in my gospel, 9 for which I am suffering, bound with chains as a criminal. But the word of God is not bound! 10 Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.”
If Paul endured chains, I’m pretty sure you can handle a tie.

Trevor - If forgetting where it's found but somewhere it says that when suffer you should make sure that you suffer because of Christ and not because of the wicked things that you have done. Since wearing a tie most definitely does not fall under suffering for Christ, it must fall under the category of wicked things.

A Gentleman's Conduct Toward Ladies.

My sister posted this on her blog, but I figured that since it was for guys I would post it here.

Gentlemen are at liberty to invite their lady friends to concerts, operas, balls, etc.,to call upon them at their homes, to ride and drive with them, and make themselves agreeable to all young ladies to whom their company is acceptable. In fact they are at liberty to accept invitations and give them ad libitum. As soon, however, as a young gentleman neglects all others, to devote himself to a single lady, he gives that lady reason to suppose that he is particularly attracted to her, and ma give her cause to believe that she is to become engaged to him,without telling her so. A gentleman who does not contemplate matrimony should not pay too exclusive attention to any one lady.1887

About the author

For my portfolio for Englis class I had to write an "about the author" page. This is what I wrote.

Trevor [last name] is a charming, handsome, brilliant young man who has soaring and adventurous plans for his future. He plans to hang loose at Whatcom Community College for a couple years while he takes several classes that will transfer over to his prestigious degree in architecture at Washington State University’s School of Architecture. There he will study architecture for what he feels is the rest of his life. After completing school he plans to get married, have 3.75 kids, buy a big house with a white picket fence and of course own a dog named Rover. But for right now Trevor lives with his father, mother, and two siblings in a small town named Bellingham, Washington. Before he dies he hopes to drive a car backwards at 100 mph, do a perfect captain jack impersonation, and see his mother bungee jump.
