Where do we trace the line with respect to the questionable activities that are culturally acceptable? (See 1 thessalonians 4:1–12; Colossians 3:1–11)

Im not sure what you are talking about... I didnt read the verses ont hat website, I dont like clicking things I dont know what they are...
But I will just say that the bible comes first...
For example, the bible says it is a shame for a man to have long hair...
In some cultures, this is a normal thing and accepted...
Once you get saved, and see that it is wrong, you cut your hair for God, do not keep it for your culture, God always comes first...
HOpe this helps!

Are you sure you got your verses right. Both of the passages are general "be good" statements. There is mention of cultures but only to the extent that Paul is saying to not restrict one's good acts to a single culture.

The bible has too many errors to be considered a reliable source for this or any other purpose.
