I wouldn't shun you if you dressed like that at my church. We have people who dress all different ways from suits to jeans. My big question would be...do you sing? (I'm choir director! LOL)
And in what manner is that?
Adam and Eve were naked in the garden and they had no problem approaching God.
That was before the fall. You'll recall that after they ate the apple, they couldn't stand to be naked in front of God and went hiding.
That being said, I don't generally have issues with what people wear to church, but occasionally I do have a "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING??" moment. That's usually when one of the younger members goes up to the railing with her butt cheeks hanging out of her shorts.
Generally I ask myself "could I wear this to a job and not be embarrassed" and if the answer is yes then I think it's appropriate for church.
Depends on what job, but that isn't a bad comparison.
Reminds me a bit of this meme.
True. I've just always had reputable jobs.
You mean white collar/office jobs?
I mean being a plumber is a reputable job as in it's honest labor. But you might not want to wear to church what you wear on the job doing something like that.
We should not cause offense. If you know that it is generally offensive to wear XYZ, then don't.
This can be done without being legalistic.
