I posted this earlier in the debate room. Just thought it may help here.
We have a choice to live under the O.T. law to find our dress codes or Walk in the Spirit to get them from the Lord. If thoughtfully applied in our lives, the N.T. dress codes should be at least as strict as the O.T. ones were.....We just have to let the Holy Ghost teach us modesty and separation from the world, from the inside out. If we are NOT walking in the Spirit, we are placing ourselves under the Law and end up trying to find our "standards" in the O.T.
