Question: Pastor, do people go to heaven if they perm their hair, because my mum refuses for me to do so. George from Zimbabwe

Well, if your mum doesn’t want you to perm your hair, don’t perm it, but it’s got nothing to do with going to heaven. What about those who don’t have hair at all? There are people who have shaved off all their hair, are they going to go to hell because they shaved off all their hair? Your hair will not take you to heaven or not allow you to go to heaven, is got nothing to do with going to heaven. Now you see, this is the religiosity that we have in the world, you know a lot of people, they’ve got so much human religion and they try to use their human religion to teach the word of God, and so, they try to tell us what sin is and what sin is not.

And you know things arehanging so fast, for example, several years ago, dancing, to dance, they said it was a sin. You know it was placed together, in fact I remember a song, they used to sing the song, stop your dancing and smoking and wearing miniskirts. You see that, dancing, smoking and wearing miniskirts were called sins, imagine they were put together at the same level, that’s amazing. And then, there was a time the watching of TV was said to be a sin. The television was called the devils box because they said that sinful things were shown on television and so, it was wrong to have a television set in your house. This was back then religion, and it still goes on today. The same thing with those who say that a Christian lady should not wear trousers because it’s man’s fashion. You know all of these things are based on ignorance, that’s why I said you need to have an understanding of the concept of sin. What is Sin? Don’t ask pastor is this sin? Is this sin? Don’t ask that kind of a question. Understand what sin is, once you know what the bible calls sin, then you will know what is sin and what is not sin. Otherwise, you are going to be asking, is it sin to eat meat on Good Friday? Is it sin to eat? Is it sin to do this? Is it sin to touch? All of these things are carnal and God wants you to become spiritually minded and get out of asking questions of what is sin to practicing righteousness. So, your spiritual growth should go beyond dealing with dead works, going to perfection. Live the good for the best. Stop struggling about what is bad and what is good. Is this sin? Go beyond that, okay, if we say it’s not sin, are you going to start doing it? That’s got nothing to do with it. What you are supposed to do is live your life in righteousness. There are greater things in God, there are more beautiful things in Christ beyond trying to find out whether something is sin, just so, you may not do it because its sin or you may, No! No! No! Go beyond that in your life, practice greater things, there are greater things in God. I can read that to you so you can understand what God thinks about these things. Well, you know, if you are in a circle of Christians, believers who are immature, they keep talking about what is sin, what is not sin instead of understanding what the word teaches. The book of Hebrews 6:1 “Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Vs 2 “Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. Vs 3 “this we will do, if God permit”.

You understand, we can deal with that when we are dealing with babes in Christ, but we’ve got to live these fundamental principles and go on unto perfections. Grow in your life and stop sending messages around the internet, Pastor Chris said masturbation is not a sin wow! Wow! Wow!! Something is wrong. You are not growing, if you stay at that level and start passing that message around, you are kidding yourself, get out of that rout! Less
