I think it's stunning that you don't believe that G-d's word has anything to say about what to wear and when to wear it or that the Bible has any standards for your lives. How antinomian.
The bible is FULL of texts which show us how to dress appropriately for different situations.
For example, we've been talking alot about wearing jeans at funerals.
Gen 37:34 says, "So Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his loins and mourned for his son many days." Jacob dressed himself in the culturally appropriate way for a funeral or memorial service.
On the other hand, the levites and priests were told explicitly NOT to mourn, even when Aaron's own sons were struck down by the Lord. Lev. 10:6, "Then Moses said to Aaron and to his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, "Do not uncover your heads nor tear your clothes, so that you will not die and that He will not become wrathful against all the congregation. But your kinsmen, the whole house of Israel, shall bewail the burning which the LORD has brought about. "
Exodus 28 goes through at length about what the priests were supposed to wear, down the fact they were supposed to wear what we would call "underwear" under their clothes.
G-d also calls His people His priests.
Ex. 19:4-7 says, "4 `You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you to Myself. 5 `Now then, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be My own possession among all the peoples, for all the earth is Mine; 6 and you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words that you shall speak to the sons of Israel." 7 So Moses came and called the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which the LORD had commanded him."
He also tells them they should differentiate male from female in their dress. Deut. 22:5 says, ""A woman shall not wear man's clothing, nor shall a man put on a woman's clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God. "
Mordechai showed respect for his king (who for the most part, hadn't acted in a way deserving of it) by dressing for his office. Esther 8:15, "Then Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal robes of blue and white, with a large crown of gold and a garment of fine linen and purple; and the city of Susa shouted and rejoiced. "
G-d's word also tells us our clothes should be clean ("white", which back then only wealthy people could afford to keep their clothes white) and we should be clean. Ecclesiastes 9:8 says, "Let your clothes be white all the time, and let not oil be lacking on your head."
Psalms tells us in 45:13, "The King's daughter is all glorious within; Her clothing is interwoven with gold." Aren't you the King's daughter (or son)? Aren't you one of G-d's priestly people? Shouldn't you try to act the part, especially when coming before the King of the Universe in His house?
I still go back to the point I made earlier. People who don't have respect for themselves, for other people, or for G-d will wear "whatever they feel like" wearing whenever they feel like wearing it. On top of that, they believe their lack of respect for themselves, for others and for G-d somehow makes them less of a "Pharisee" than the person who wears their best for G-d. The idea that we wouldn't go out of our way to wear our best for G-d doesn't make sense to me at all.
You are making broad comparisons between several different points that have been made by several different people. I know that I, for one, never said that I "don't believe that God's word has anything to say about what to wear and when to wear it, or that the Bible has any standards for your lives". Anyone can open up the Bible and play what I refer to as "Bible Bingo" in their attempts to come up with some quote that can be interpreted in such a way as to support any given argument.
And I never said I thought it was o.k. for people to go to church dirty....or "white" (unclean) as you put it.
Perhaps you aren't trying to be insulting, but IMO, you are being terribly insulting to those who don't agree with your particular religious beliefs. God loves all of those who believe and worship Him. I do not believe you are any better than the rest of us in spite of what you might think.
Define "best," using Scripture. I want specific fabrics, cuts and styles. I want to know that you're making your distinctions based on God's standards, not worldly man-made ones.
So far, you've basically got "wear sackcloth to a funeral." Do you wear sackcloth to funerals?
And King David stripped down naked and danced before the Lord. Your offering up scriptures supports nothing. There are plenty to counter what you have offered. Jesus said not to worry about clothes. Why do you?
