Are you actually trying to imply that outward modesty has nothing to do with holiness? That borders on the insane! I have NEVER once in my entire lifetime declared that holiness was an outward only trait. I have my whole life defended that holiness on the outside is not enough.
However, to declare that what is on the outside has nothing to do with holiness is just as perverted as saying what is on the inside has nothing to do with holiness.
Please, if you want the pearl of great price you have to buy the entire field. It's not a situation where you choose either / or.
I honestly give you more credit than to think you honestly believe that what is outward doesn't affect holiness.
While I understand what you are saying, I don't believe outward modesty has anything to do with holiness. It's two separate issues that can be joined together, however, I know lots of people who dress modestly that don't have any more holiness than any of my cats.
I do believe that lack of modesty can indicate lack of holiness, but they are still separate issues.

Rico, did you not read where the epistle said that holiness was to be in every area of life. Is not scripture enough? All means all. Without exception. You cannot be holy in one area, and not in the rest and still be considered holy in the eyes of Jesus.
The proof is given. You simply refuse to see it.
I see that your avatar is wearing a long sleeved shirt and a tie.
The administrator at my job, who is Catholic, also wears long sleeved shirts with a tie.
Please tell me how your dress is holy but his is not. Thanks.

Bill wears a fifteen or sixteen shoe that has got to count for at least
ten hail Mary's and ten our Father's.So he must be holier than your catholic friend for sure.
You never read trinitarian books? Not even Rick Warren??? wow you are Holy indeed.
As noted I am basically a trinitarian... and by the way I don't read Rick Warren...
The point is for someone who loathes trinitarians, I find it funny he would reference the intellect and thoughts of one in his sermon... he uses the status, and credibility of Tertullian to give strength to his argument ...seems funny to me

Then there is hope for my son. He wears a 14 at the age of 16!
