Dressing Up

[The Rogue Tomato]

In another forum, a member said he wears a suit and tie to church out of respect for God.

I noticed that, because John Fetterman wears a hoodie and shorts, the Senate changed its dress standards to allow it.

Was dressing up a reasonable requirement for the Senate to show respect for the institution? Is dressing up for church a reasonable way to show respect to God?

I think it's too legalistic to demand it, but for some people it is real expression of their respect.

I read somewhere that the Methodists used to turn away people who were dressed up because it represented their wealth. Don't remember where I read that, though.

God looks at her heart.

When Jesus calls the Pharisees whitewashed tombs.


Matthew 23:27 ESV

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people's bones and all uncleanness.

As far as politicians go, It can be the same they can look good on the outside and still be corrupt. That's why draining the swamp was met with such opposition.

At one time women had to wear head coverings. Paul demanded it. So why do we follow his instructions with Communion and not with clothing?

Many years ago I attended services where the women all wore head coverings. They also didn't have a head pastor, but had elders taking turns teaching.

Yes I was in a Plymouth brethren church for a few years. No make up, high heals, pants for women and no flesh showing.
