jpmoriarti:Do you see God? Probably no but God said whatever you do to the least of your brethren you do it to me. What does that mean? Meaning since God is invisible your neighbour could be the God you see. Paul said I know that eating meat is not a sin but if my eating meat will cause my brother to sin I will stop eating meat. By not dressing well as befits a Christian someone who need repentance might see and said if there is no different between the you dress and him what is the need of becoming a Christian. 2 Likes |

ebubeson:God bless you for this write up, exactly what my Priest said in the church today. You will see someone shabbily dress to church as if church is a party hall, some guys going to church putting on ear rings, some girls with mini skirts and so on. They will say God sees the heart, the same God said out of the abundant of the heart the mouth speaks and actions are carried out, in other words the way you dress is also the way your heart is. Paul said I know that eaten of meat is not a sin but if by eaten meat could cause my brother to sin I Will stop eaten meat. |

jpmoriarti:But at the same time, people must be able to sense the presence of God in our life based on our outward appearance. Is like someone on evangelism with dreadlocks and tattoo, how do you want people to perceive such person? |

Spiff20:Christianity no be association wey U must register. U are a big Hypocrite cos You are not doing what Christ sent his Disciples to do. Read about Jesus's Character and stop Judging people. You don't even know me and I am not a Christian? Christ came to show You road to God and all God cares about is Love. If You Love Ur Neighbours U won't Judge them. Nonsense lost Soul |
Re: Why Outward Appearance Is So Important For Christians by chukkystar(m): 11:21am On Apr 23, 2023 |
Spiff20:this is satanic indoctrination. Jesus Said Love God and Love Ur Neighbours as Yourself those are the only commandments to follow. Not to seduce anyone. Allow Love help You make Judgements else You will Lose alot of good people. Some people don't move by anyone's rules in this Life and dress in what makes them comfortable and not what people want to see. |

Aside Christianity, Adults decent dressing attracts respect from younger ones.When you dress indecently, you will be prone to snubbing and cajoling from the younger ones. And they can't take your caution or advice seriously . 2 Likes |

ebubeson: As long as you know, remember the live and present dangers of outward appearance as captured by the quotes that follows..... Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; 6 they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; 7 they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others. Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. 26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean. 27 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. 28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness. 1 Like |

How you dress is exactly how you will be addressed! If you can Afford good Clothes buy and Wear, look good. How do you preach about Jesus Christ and God's Blessings when you Appeared Haggard like Tout! Dressing Decently is a Choice! Dressing Poor to fulfill all righteousness is Also a Choice! Choose what Works for you and Maintain your Relationship with God! |

NuCypher: Jesus Christ Himself has bought those who are saved with his blood to be KINGS AND PRIESTS (ON EARTH)...Those immaculate DRESSINGS are meant to reflect the Kingdom Jesus Christ died to bring believers into. Moreover, the English says "You will be addressed the way you are dressed" |
