Re: Holiness Swim Wear
I was raised all of my life swimming in clothes. Jean skirts, jeans (on the males), etc. Our whole church would go to the lake and go swimming in full denim garb. It never bothered me at all.
My husband, who wasn't raised in church, was embarrassed by it. He felt completely stupid. But, I was just having fun and didn't care who didn't like it. Neither of us was wrong, we just felt differently about it.
BUT.... people around us probably did think we were completely crazy, and THEY weren't wrong either! Their opinion was completely valid. It IS very odd to go swimming in denim. It's unusual to go swimming in your everyday clothes. So, there would be no point in us being offended that they thought we were strange. They had a valid opinion.
But, they didn't come over with a gun and tell us we couldn't do it, so all was good. We were exercising our freedom, and they were exercising their freedom of opinion.
