You teach that holiness is defined by the quality of your clothing.

Your teaching is flatly unscriptural.

No, You twist my words. I say that the heart attitude is reflected through the way a person dresses. If a person has respect for the place and person, their dress reflects that.

I would bet that 99% of the people reading this would put on a shirt and tie to have dinner at the White House with GWB.

Yet, I am afraid that less than 30% would wear a shirt and tie to stand before a Holy God in worship on Sunday.

Which is more important?

Basically you dressed up because you were going to see God.

This is how I grew up, too.

But as I grew up in the Lord, I realized this whole idea not only was incorrect, it does terrible damage to the witness of believers to the world.

God is not in a church building, he is in us, his people.

Those searching for Him, and even those not searching, are hindered when they pick up the idea that you have to go to a certain place and wear certain clothes and sing certain songs before you can figure out who God is and what his plans are.
