Christianity 201 Guidelines
orthodox Christians only.
Discussion on matters of general mainstream evangelical Christian theology that do not fit within Theology 201. Have some spiritual gifts ceased today? Is the KJV the only viable translation for the church today? In what sense are the books of the bible inspired and what are those books? Church government? Modern day prophets and apostles?
This forum is primarily for Christians to discuss matters of Christian doctrine, and is not the area for debate between atheists (or those opposing orthodox Christianity) and Christians. Inquiring atheists (or sincere seekers/doubters/unorthodox) seeking only Christian participation and having demonstrated a manner that does not seek to undermine the orthodox Christian faith of others are also welcome, but must seek Moderator permission first. When defining “Christian” or "orthodox" for purposes of this section, we mean persons holding to the core essentials of the historic Christian faith such as the Trinity, the Creatorship of God, the virgin birth, the bodily resurrection of Christ, the atonement, the future bodily return of Christ, the future bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, and the final judgment. Persons not holding to these core doctrines are welcome to participate in the Comparative Religions section without restriction, in Theology 201 as regards to the nature of God and salvation with limited restrictions, and in Christology for issues surrounding the person of Christ and the Trinity. Atheists are welcome to discuss and debate these issues in the Apologetics 301 forum without such restrictions.
Additionally and rarely, there may be some topics or lines of discussion that within the Moderator's discretion fall so outside the bounds of mainstream orthodox doctrine (in general Christian circles or in the TheologyWeb community) or that deny certain core values that are the Christian convictions of forum leadership that may be more appropriately placed within Unorthodox Theology 201. NO personal offense should be taken by such discretionary decision for none is intended. While inerrancy is NOT considered a requirement for posting in this section, a general respect for the Bible text and a respect for the inerrantist position of others is requested.
The Tweb rules apply here like they do everywhere at Tweb, if you haven't read them, now would be a good time.

Is this a disrespectful way to clean a church building?

I'm certain the glitter is coming from the little girls' dresses. There are some that usually show up in rather sparkly attire. I think some of it came from some recent wedding decorations, too.Curiosity never hurt anyone. It was stupidity that killed the cat.

Maybe even the glitter is from children's Sunday School projects as well.
I hate glitter. Mr. mossy's cousin has a habit of sending Christmas cards absolutely covered with the stuff. I usually open the envelope enough to see what's going on, and then take the whole thing outside and scrape it with an old toothbrush to get most of the glitter off. Probably not good for the environment, but I figure God's going to destroy the world with fire and that will take care of it.

I don't recall seeing glitter in their supplies. They usually just color a picture, or make popsicle stick crosses. I'll have to find out if they do have some. If they do, I'll burn it with fire.

Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

I chose the third option as the closest to my opinion, but I wouldn't use a leafblower indoors. I suspect it would blow dust all over the place."You should just assume going forward that if I am ever wrong it is a typo" - Backup
