The Dress Code Wars
 
Shorts sleeves, 3/4 sleeves ... or long sleeves.

Skirt ankle-high ... 1/2 to the knee ... or at the knee ...

We are not alone in our dress code wars ....

I understand there is a war brewing among Islam that will rival ours.

Here is one article that discusses this battle ...

As we all agree, that there are tremendous controversies in the women dress code in Islam. Even two Islamic scholars do not agree in the same dress code for women. In the same Muslim Country, dresses worn by Muslim women are not the same at all. It varies even in the same family. Therefore, let us discuss this important subject with a view: (a) to determine exactly what type of veil (pardha) should be observed by Muslim women prescribed by Quran & Sunnah, (b) how to implement them and, (c) to determine if this Islamic dress code is, of course, feasible or not, for Twentieth or Twenty first Century’s modern/civilized working/business women ?

Only the bottom left will see the kingdom of heaven.

Of course I'm being sarcastic... I don't really thing any "ultra-cons" are that silly!

If the bottom left were wearing red they would look like the Emperors personal guard.

Overdosage
Any medication taken in excess can have serious consequences. If you suspect an overdose, seek medical attention immediately.

In my opinion, dress codes are only applicable because men don't have to contend with most of the foolishness. They can wear whatever they want to as long as they aren't naked and the religious world, christian or not says nothing.

This entire dress code thing even in the apostolic faith is about control and opression. I adhere to covering my body and being comfortable. That is what matters. Forget all of the rules that aren't scripture. I can't speak for the Quaran because I don't read it, but the Bible doesn't say any of the things we opress people with as far as dress codes and standards are concerned.

Oh I'm sure there are some apostolic men that believe such dress would be best for present day apostolic women as well.

I mean really...

Lord forbid that men should have to actually control their own lustful tendencies.

Eve started the oppression of women in my opinion. And it will not stop until Jesus returns.

Adam should have been the man God called him to be, and none of us would be in this position. We Eve at of the forbidden fruit nothing happen, but when Adam at the trouble began.

Long sleeves (3/4 ok.) Dress.. well past the knee, when sitting. No slits.

Modesty matters. And I know modestly dressed people can be devils. But Godly people will always be modest.
