Re: Agree or disagree in total?? Why?
My brain is too fried to deal with this tonight but I will say I found it a very awkwardly worded belief statement.

Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

I agree; it's not that any of it is concretely wrong, but it's not quite *right* either. Awkward is a good word.

Re: Agree or disagree in total?? Why?
Of course, this is difficult, because it is man trying to define the infinite God.
There is so much complexity of God, that our definitions become contradictory.
