Samphire, could you help me out and answer my questions regarding this matter?
I would challenge your comment though regarding "every culture" beating their children. It seems from my research thus far that it's so-called civilization that is having so much trouble trying to raise children, hence the abundance of child training books.
I haven't seen it but I am aware of its existence. I'm also familiar with The Cutting Edge and appreciate what they provide, but I haven't checked in on them for a few years now.

"Rich or poor, we all face the problem of money. But is money chiefly a personal problem, how we use our own resources? Or a societal problem, how we organize the economy? Jacques Ellul exposes the folly of a purely societal approach-whether communism, collectivism, socialism or capitalism-and argues for individual responsibility. Money, he says, is not neutral, something we can use as we like. Instead it is a powerful agent that sets itself against God's kingdom. Tracing the scriptural attitudes toward wealth from Old Testament sacramentalism through New Testament renunciation, he challenges Christians to live by the law of grace and not by the law of the marketplace."
The lamentable fact is right here in the "united states" in north America persecution is alive and well, yet those who claim to be God's people are so blinded and so full of their allegiance to man and his system that they can not see the truth and continue in their delusion that they are free!
These heathen are already religious! Now they are simply attempting to solicit the true God's assistance since their father the devil is failing them in this regard.

Yes, this is scriptural. Nothing but the veil openly declares to the unbelievers that a woman is submissive, and this is why most vehemently refuse to wear one (in addition to loving their glorious hair).

Where does God say we can't write his words in different colors? And where does he command that we must always use black color?
Lots of colors makes the Bible easier to understand and helps people get saved. If people get saved the colors must be good. If they are blessed by reading their colored Bibles then why cause so much strife and division?
It's the 501c3 yoke that helps us clearly and easily identify the false churches. Even without it though, members of the religious clubs are yoked with the state in other ways.
This idea of "school" is what must be considered and of course the big bully antichrist system that pushes it. When school is understood and accepted for what it really is, that being a religious assembly, a false church, then the matter can be seen more clearly.
