Funny.....I don't see any scripture that shows that teaching. The disciples were pretty smelly fellas, don't you think? Jesus was the same way. Do you think they showered and changed clothes, dressing in their fanciest duds before preaching and healing people?

And yes, WH was saying exactly what I responded to. That girl isn't allowed to go to camp without the 'proper attire' and he wasn't referring to her dressing sloppy. He was referring to her needing to have long sleeved shirts, just as he said the boys have to have as well, or they can't attend.

It's only here in America where such thinking is so broad-spectrum. Go visit any missionary and see if they impose the same rules before allowing people to attend church, campmeetings, or any such like. Find any scripture where Jesus or any of the apostles did the same. I challenge you.

While I don't dress sloppy for church (nor any other occasion unless I'm fishing or gardening), I don't dress to impress God either. Since my righteousness is on the same level as those 'filthy rags', I can't imagine how he sees my 'elegant' and 'proper' attire...in addition to my heart on such matters.

Well spoken... uh... well written!!! LOL!

The point most have been making is to let everyone dress as they please.

Down to just one leg after Keith harvested two for his "boots." I get the idea that his boots look a lot like your end table.

Personally, I don't want to judge someone by a measure that isn't accurate. Do you?

So, you have judged Alex as being judgmental? How can you reach such a judgmental conclusion yourself without having first judged Alex?

MissB,

As for "Judge not" when we understand that in light on all the Scriptures, we see that we are not to be a people without judgement. We are told to "Judge rightgeous judgement", and the "Judging" JESUS was speaking against was the hypocritical judging of the Pharisees. Paul judged in 1 Cor 5, and there was tons of other judgements that had to be made by the people of GOD.

As for "plain clothing=holiness", I will say that I still have some of that bias, and for that reason I will not continue to post on this thread, because I have to work this out. However, there has to be some point wear someone's clothing is so extravagant that I believe the church needs to speak up and gently knudge them in the right direction.
