Grace Verse Legalism

The standard the Bible talks about is an inward standard of holiness "The nature and Character of Christ". When you are nurturing the holiness of God on the inside, modesty of dress will follow. It is the beyond modesty to the point of manmade opinions that are the problem.

I think that is a given.

It always come downs to manmade rules is the problem. It has been since the beginning of time. I think there is an inner nature of man that man wants to believe they can make themself righteous by dress, ceremonies, and works. God's grace is so simple that people stumble over it.
