    That is not taking it personally,,,,,,,,,my Brother Cletus is a great guy,I just want him to know "my" intentions because he has had quite a journey,he is loved,he loves me & all of us,,,,,,,I do think he understands,,,,,,,,you needn't start that stuff here,okay? No one needs to develop "thicker skin" because no one has said anything to offend or be offended,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,thank you ,you are loved too,,,,,,,,

 

And for Cletus,,,,,,I am more than sure you know I love you dearly,,,,,,,,,I really want to be sure(extra sure) that you do know  I (we) are very sensitive to the road you have traveled to get to the AMAZING place that you are in with Jesus Christ!!!!!!!!     Many have started with meager beginnings & are now Super Warriors!!!

This tread was meant to be a fellowship thread.  Allowing people to express  their view and allowing for each others opinions. We don't want to do finger pointing and name calling, judging others for their views just because they don't agree with ours.  Everyone has their right to say what they wish and not be afraid that someone will judge them.  We all come from different places and have different views.  As believers we are here to love one another and hold each other up and not tear down.  

Some of those responding to this thread have been critical and there is no room for that.  I would ask please just have fun with the thread and not fun at others expense. There is no room for judgmental spirits here.  Just to love one another right where we are at just as Jesus would do.

we should dress for church as we would dress to visit with our father. 

when i visit my father on earth, i come as i am. 
when i visit my Father in heaven, i come in what He has dressed me in - Christ, clean white robes of righteousness, and the full armor of light. 

so, there we are.

i reckon this is our appropriate 'dress code' -- though if we put all this on in reality, i think it might be a bit distracting, and also rather difficult to sit down in pews or chairs... 

The night is nearly over; the day is almost here.
So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.
(Romans 13:12)

I wonder how John the Baptist felt when he met Jesus?  Would you recommend that one of the pharisees should have given John one of their fancy robes?  I grew up attending a Baptist church.  Suits, ties, etc.  Give your best for the Lord.  Yup.  Dad didn't have a suit.  I've never owned a suit.   I've felt remorse for a lot of things, but wearing blue jeans to church never has been one of them.  I could go buy a new suit tomorrow if I though Jesus wanted me too.  Do you think I'm wrong and He really does care about my clothes more than my heart?  I wonder how many people would avoid John the Baptist if he were alive today.  

To be honest I answered this because I assumed that somehow so many people come as though they are dressed for  night club ,that some pastors feel the need to have a code as you cannot start pointing at individuals for their lack of consideration of others ,  so making some rules should avoid that : hopefully .

The reason we have to have rules , the reason God had to make the commandments is that some people are not aware of others -are only aware of themselves  . The school I went to a long time ago had a strict uniform ,as do most schools in Ireland and UK (less strict now ). They generally do better ,for girls especially ,as they don't need to  think about clothes and are modestly dressed  For adults is is different, but  then some are irresponsible .

You are not just in relationship with you father in heaven but millions of human beings ,and you need to think of others, as well as just you .

Yes even in a pair of jeans you have to at least look clean and neat.  It is possible you know Thallasa.  

Of course ,it is just a personal thing ,but we used to have  so many nice, but simple clothes here in europe until all the goats follow the Uniform of the beast . Yes the world wide uniform .

Don't take is personally. He wasn't talking about you (specifically), but you (generally).

Everyone needs to develop a little thicker skin.

No one should have to develop thicker because insults or even the hint of insults at someone is not acceptable.
