What Christ wants...
I guess folks had to post a Dress Code 'cuz the "elders" of the church say, "this is a church service, a place to beholden unto God, it is not a nightclub"... Some negroes may need to be told that...
But I think the issue is more about, what Christ wants--I guess He'd rather ask you to come as your are and repent from sin, than to lose you altogether 'cuz you failed to met a "man-made" dress code.
Really, if all of us truly belief in the One True God, then we really should have no shame in our fashion attire, because really, the Creator made us naked and it was only by deception man found that out...
Mary Magadelene, a known high cost prostitute came in rags and broke an illegal expensive bottle of perfum on Jesus' feet then wiped them with her hair and tears... She could have come in dressed provocatively, but she decided to strip herself into her lowliest of her rags for her Salvation...
There are numerous verses in the New Testament regarding how one is to treat those of lesser acquisitions--appropriate attire being one of them.
Really, what difference does it make, if you ain't saved, then you'd just be another somebody in a high priced suit 6 feet under... And you cain't take it with you...
My Mama always said: There's a difference between a 10 cent person and a Million dollar person--And it has nothing to do with monetary value... You can take a 10 cent person and put them in a million dollar dress, and you've still got a 10 cent person... At the same time, you can take a Million dollar person and put them in a 10 cent dress, and you've still got a Million dollar person...
What Christ wants to know is what dress will you choose to wear?
