Once again, the scripture is speaking about overdressing. Nothing about going topless in there. Sorry, I don’t accept your opinion over the plain meaning of scripture.

The scripture states "decently" I even bolded that for you plus gave you the definition of "decent" to which you replied it was irrelevant to topic, lol, while your mind completely blocked out that very term that WAS relevant. Amazing.

You are in complete denial when you refuse to see what I put right in front of you in such a way a child could understand. No more sense in even trying, I've done all a can for you.

1) If I work hard, I can get a girl that's better looking than whomever I might happen to see without a top. Women love high-status men.

Was there a point to that??

2) You're seriously using an english dictionary to define a translated word? Use the strongs, like I did earlier.

How do you translate "decent"? You look it up in the SA, I'm already confident in it meaning.

On my way out, I want to make a ridiculous point:

1Pe 3:3 Whose [adorning] let it not be [...] or of putting on apparel;

You were using Webster’s, an adequate general usage dictionary. If you had used a good Bible dictionary you would have a stronger case, but you didn’t do that. A modern dictionary doesn’t explain how the term was used in Biblical times. Further, the verse defines itself. It is talking about modesty and explains that means overdressing. Hence what you said is irrelevant here.

You are in complete denial when you refuse to see what I put right in front of you in such a way a child could understand. No more sense in even trying, I've done all a can for you.

More insults from you. Are you always so rude. Apparently polite conversation is beyond you, I’m glad this one is done.

Don’t say that what I wrote isn’t responsive to the subject—it was written in direct response to an earlier post. My comments have certainly not been off topic to the nothing but opinion that others keep offering.

It certainly is. As the wisdom texts say. One who commits adultery (See also Matthew 5:28) has no understanding, he harms his own soul.
