Do you honestly believe that God feels disrespected if someone worships Him in jeans?

Matthew 22:10-14: "Those slaves went out into the streets and gathered together all they found, both evil and good; and the wedding hall was filled with dinner guests. 11 "But when the king came in to look over the dinner guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed in wedding clothes, 12 and he said to him, `Friend, how did you come in here without wedding clothes?' And the man was speechless. 13 "Then the king said to the servants, `Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' 14 "For many are called, but few are chosen."

Some of us think that passage of scripture refers to spiritual adornment, not actual clothing.

Soooooo, you're making the point, using Scripture, that God feels disrespected if we worship him while not wearing "wedding clothes"? As in what we call our "fancy clothes"?

Gosh, I guess I'd better quit worshiping Him unless I'm wearing the right outfit. "Honey, can I have some money please? I need a dress or God is going to be really really mad at me!" Something about that just doesn't ring true. hmmm

James 2:1-4,9 -- "My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with partiality. For if there should come into your assembly a man with gold rings, in fine apparel, and there should also come in a poor man in filthy clothes, and you pay attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say to him, "You sit here in a good place," and say to the poor man, "You stand there," or, "Sit here at my footstool," have you not shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts? . . . but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors."

You know, I really don't think that even deserves a response. I don't know where to begin with such disdain for God's Holy Word by a professing Christian.

Are you really foolish enough to think that Scripture teaches what you are twisting beyond comprehension or are you willfully distorting and/or trifling with God's word especially on a matter that has more significance on what manner of clothes you wear: namely, True or False conversion?

You might want to look at the true meaning of that text and see if does not apply to you. Perhaps God is speaking it to you and you are distorting His communication..
