Not this, but that.
It's language, rdp.
And it's NOT really that difficult.
Before you look at this as spilled from the mouth of God, falling on our laps today and being Scripture, I think you need to understand that it's still a letter.
Your "NOT" fit accompanied with "couldn't be plainer" makes you look like a petulent little one.
Not this, but this. Not the language of prohibition, the language of exhortation... a definition of true adornment, not telling us literally to wear meekness as much he's not literally telling us to take off apparel. It's language. A beautiful thing.
