the Intel BunnyPeople (TM) |
Companies (such as
Intel) that manufacture computer chips want to have
a reputation for perfect reliability.
So they take great pains to make sure that their
facilities have absolutely no free-floating dust around.
The tiniest particle could contaminate products and
render them useless (and potentially dangerous).
| Designer Clothing:
| Old-order Amish, conservative Mennonites, and others wear modest clothing in order to be fully obedient to concepts in Bible passages at 1 Corinthians 11. |

Galatians 3:27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. Titus 3:3-7 "For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by men and hating one another; but when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of deeds done by us in righteousness, but in virtue of his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit, which he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that we might be justified by his grace and become heirs in hope of eternal life."

To prevent heaven from becoming contaminated with sin particles, God has long set the requirement that anyone who enters has to be either perfect or covered with a suit of perfection. God is perfect. Jesus never sinned. Otherwise, God wouldn't be God without being clean.

Revelation 3:4-5 Jesus said 'But you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their garments; and they will walk with Me in white; for they are worthy. 5 'He who overcomes shall thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father, and before His angels. |

It's simple to get into heaven because all you have to do is believe this whole story. Believing is called a "gift" because faith comes from God. If you thirst for forgiveness, you are born again. |
Jesus said in Mark 10:15 "Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein". Romans 10:9-10 (KJV) reads "...if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Paul wrote in Galatians 2:20 (NIV) “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”

This is a popular hymn sung within conservative churches. Elisha A. Hoffman (died Nov 25, 1929) composed both music and lyrics in 1878.

Among the last words of Christ before ascending to heaven: Luke 24:49 "And behold, I am sending forth the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high." 1 John 5:3-5 “This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.”

| How do we spiritually dress ourselves? | God has been dressing us since day one. Genesis 3:21 says “Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.” Paul writes in 1 Timothy 2:9-10 (NIV) I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, 10 but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God. Romans 14:8 "for if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore whether we live or die, we are the Lord's." |

“You don't have a soul.
You are a soul.
You have a body.”
“Now they show you how detergents take out bloodstains,
a pretty violent image there. I think if you've got a T-shirt with a bloodstain all over it, maybe laundry isn't your biggest problem.
Maybe you should get rid of the body before you do the wash.”
