Dows IT really matter what we wear, what type of clothes, or attire we sport? IT IS Necessary that we Cover our bodies? OR can we show what we want when we want?
(Proverbs 7: 1).. “Keep MY ~WORDS~ & lay up *MY* (THE LORD‘S) Commandments ~with thee~… (v.10)..there met him a woman dressed ~IN THE ATTIRE~ of an harlot… (v.27).. Her house IS the way to hell, going down into the chambers of death….
((I Corinthians 6: 15-20)…Know ye not that your bodies are the ~members~ of *Christ*? Shall ye then ~Take~ the members of Christ and make them of an ~harlot~??? God Forbid! He that is joined to a harlot is one, the two shall be one flesh… He that is joined unto the Lord IS One spirit… he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body…WHAT? Know ye not ~THAT~ your ~body~ IS *The temple OF The Holy Ghost* ~Which IS IN you,? ~Which ye have OF God~? AND ye ~ARE NOT~ your own… (v.20)… ye ~ARE Bought~ with a ~Price~: therefore glorify God in your body & in your spirit, ~Which ARE God’s~!!!
Throughout the Bible IT IS Written THAT: IT IS A ~Shame~ and A ~Sin~ to be uncovered… having your body bare before another person or people… As the examples In (Isaiah 20:4 & 47:3)… men, women, or children. And (I Corinthians 11: 6) IT IS A Shame for a woman to be ~uncovered~… Also a woman’s hair was given to her for a covering for her head, not to be cut, colored bright red, purple, or green, streaked and spiked.. People have made an obscene display of the very bodies of clay that the LORD God molded into the soul or being that they are, by tattooing their flesh with all kinds of hideous images, and parading themselves around showing their nakedness, before mankind… The very bodies that THE LORD God breathed HIS Spirit of life into or else they would not be able to walk about and parade anything… AND IT IS The Blood of HIS Own Son, Jesus Christ that we, each individual is bought with… AND IT IS not Only To their shame, and pitiful state of abandonment of God’s Commands, that has led them into the captivity of Satan, that they have been placed in because of their rebellion… Just as the carrying away naked into captivity of the Egyptians was a ~Shame ~ to Egypt~, but they in fact are making a mockery of God’s Love… in these things…
(Ezekiel 23: 1-21) .. Describes a parable of the whoredom of the two women representing nations who courted the Babylonians.. (V.15).. Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads… & (v.18) .. So she discovered her whoredom and nakedness…. **NOTE** that this was referring to a nation that IS playing the harlot, BUT the description of the attire, dress, manner IS descriptive of a woman that dresses and acts like a harlot….
BUT, you’ll not hear many, if any, preaches make either point from the pulpit because IT IS NOT Popular to the congregational folk, to have their choice of attire or their spiritual fornication pointed out as an abomination ~Before~ God… AS IT IS WRITTEN!
AND, Yes many sit in their nakedness on Church benches with their minds and the gaze of their eyes sit upon the world and it’s way, while claiming to be Christians.. To the dismay of those who follow them…Even to The slamming of Christ Name, AND Even sadder To see IS the young parents that ARE Teaching their precious little ones that God gave them to raise and care for, to follow suit…
(I Timothy 2:9) ..that women adorn themselves in ~modest~ Apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety… (10) which becometh women ~professing godliness~…
And then you have men standing in the positions of Church leaders sporting ~Blue Devils~ on their shirts, complete with the horns… what example does this set for little ones that you are trying to teach that the Devil IS our spiritual enemy, but we embrace him because we changed the image to blue instead of red… Although neither IS correct, because Satan IS an evil spirit force, But society sees and portrays him as a grotesque being with horns and teach their children this… IT IS Sad that so many fantasies are taught in the Churches that IT IS very difficult even for one who tries hard to learn The right, to decipher the truth from the lie…Didn’t Jesus Warn of even this? (Matthew 24:24).. Yes we all stand naked before God, even with our fleshly bodies fully clothed,.. because HE Sees ~ALL~ and ~Knows~ ALL… But we are to be covered before each other.. WHY? Because IT IS God’s Will that we keep our bodies covered and sanctified AS HIS Holy Temple. (II Timothy 2:15-26) …(I Corinthians 1:2)
Pretty plain, that we can’t act like, dress like, or take part in the things of the world any where or any time, before the world *IF* we ARE God’s people, BUT IF we only claim to be IT Will Show in our actions, dress, manner… WON”T IT?
Where we must be careful not to turn one away from the Church, who enters in seeking the Lord, and HIS Saving grace, because of their dress or lack of IT.. once they have entered and made known their desire to follow Christ in The Will and Way of God the Father, IT IS our duty to show them the proper dress, BY our own examples, AND By the Written Word, SO that when they make that public display of marriage to Christ, by water Baptism, they will have their feet set on the right path…. Another reason why Church leaders MUST Show obedience of/to God’s Written Word and not walk to the beat of their own drums… AS many teach, “If you want to do IT then It’s alright, there IS ~NO LAW~ that says you can’t, and we don’t live under the law anyway, but we are led by the spirit… What spirit are many that claim this led by? When each one is walking in a different direction, then there must be ~~Many~~ spirits that are leading.. And yet the Bible states THAT: ~As Many~ as are led by ~The Spirit~ OF God they are the sons of God…(Romans 8:14)… so IF we are led by the Spirit of God, then wouldn’t we ~~ALL~~ be walking on the same path? That narrow ~Path~ of Righteousness? AS Jesus said IN: (Matthew 7:13-14).. “Enter ~ye~ IN at the strait gate”.. *Note*. Jesus did not say I’ll carry you IN, or I’ll drive you in with a stick, But He instructed ~us~ to enter in…the ~Invitation~ IS Offered, and “Because ~Strait IS the Gate & narrow IS the ~Way~.. And few there be that *Find* IT” .. & (v.24) “Whosoever *Heareth* ~these sayings OF Mine, AND *Doeth* Them”…
(Proverbs 28:9) … He that ~turneth away~ his ear from the ~Hearing~ OF The Law, ~Even his *prayer* IS an Abomination to the LORD…
(Romans 10:17) … SOOOOooo…. THEN.. *Faith* cometh BY Hearing, AND *Hearing* By THE WORD OF God…..
Many stop short with reading of: (Romans 10:9) as being ~ALL~ that one has to do to be saved… and this is true,, but there IS A Walk that The LORD gives to our command under our own obedience to The LORD God Almighty.. And that IS: We must work out our ~own~ Salvation, through the ~Obedience of Fear and trembling~ (Philippians 2:12)… In Respect OF/IN/TO God THE Father, Not rebelliously standing in the ways of the world, or blazing our own path by the adding OF fantasies and tales.. TO the Truthful teachings of God’s Holy Word OR walking about in the fads or styles of the world of fleshly display of our bodies….
In the very beginning when Adam & Eve proved disobedient to God’s Command, and stepped out in rebellion with Satan, THE LORD God, made them ~~Clothes~~ to cover their bodies with.. (Genesis 3:21)… And I find nowhere that the LORD has said IT IS Good for man or woman to walk naked or nearly, before mankind…. Especially when we enter into the Houses where we are come together to worship the LORD in spirit and truth as a group….
(Isaiah 47:4) ..Thy nakedness ~Shall~ Be uncovered, yea, thy *Shame* shall be seen, I Will take vengeance …. What perverse spirit of ~Attitude~ makes a person desire to display their bodies before mankind? Read the Bible For ALL Answers…
