I believe you must obey
Acts 2:38 and I believe you must obey the 10 commandments and I believe you must obey the Royal Law and I believe it would be good if you obeyed the Sermon on the Mount.
I believe Jesus is coming back for a Bride that is spotless without wrinkle.
Now as to how to be a Bride without spot or wrinkle is the question.
I believe you should dress modestly. Ask yourself what is your motive to how you dress. Is it to look Godly, rich, seductive, etc?
I believe your reactions to life is your most revealing character of Godliness or ungodliness. How to you respond to someone in traffic cutting you off when you are in a hurry? Godly or ungodly?
Guidelines on how to dress changes with the cultures whether we are mature enough to believe that or not.
The 1600 folks would say we are ungodly in our dress. You can see our ankles AND calves!
Do we go back to the beginning as Sis. A mentioned? Back to robes, and men wearing beards to separate men from women? Do we go back to wearing only sandals?
Again, you have to draw the line somewhere, and I think that line moves somewhat with time. Look at men today. They did not wear their hair as short as they do not 25 years ago. But the "style" today is to wear it short so the MEN can conform to the world on this. When long hair was in style they wore it as long as they could get by with it.
But what does your heart say about WHY you do what you do. I do some things simply for submission to my pastor. There is no scripture to back up some of the teachings according to my understanding of scripture. Most of it is not salvational per se, but COULD become an issue for some folks.
For example: the scripture talks about drinking a little wine for the stomach. But I would not suggest everyone take up wine drinking as some may find themselves addicted to wine. But neither do I find it a sin. Now IF you over indulged it would be a sin, but so would over eating. JMO
My best friend was not allowed to play with dice in board games, they had to make a spinner to play the game.
The Bible says seek out your own salvation with fear and trembling. I am afraid we leave out the fear and trembling to often.
IF you do not have a love for the TRUTH you will believe the lie.
I think that is a key factor.
