God gave the law not to work on the Sabbath, then the religious rulers of the Jews narrowed down the interpretation to how far a person could journey on the Sabbath day without it being considered work. They became so narrow in their thinking that they condemned Jesus for healing on the Sabbath day. I feel a similar thing is done with the interpretation of the word, modest. What is modest for some is immodest for other such as short sleeves.
That's why I feel the conviction of the Spirit is more important than the traditions of men. The Spirit may convict one person of a certain thing but not another person for the same thing for different reasons. I think we should be convinced in our hearts that we are pleasing God and doing his will and not lay our personal convictions on others.
Whatever is not of faith is sin.
Rom 14:23
