I'd like to see some proof, either scriptural or historical, that shows early Christians dressed differently than the people around them. Just give me one documented clothesline message from that time frame, just one. It saddens me that the apostolic church has taken one of the most sacred aspects of living for God, namely holiness, and reduced it to a dress code.

There are only three New Testament principles for clothing.
1. Modesty
2. Gender Separation
3. Not wearing wardrobe that draws undue attention to yourself.

The women under my roof follow these principles. The men in my household follow these principles.

God's Word established the principles vs Man's opinion established standards. It's a no brainer.

A dress code is easy to preach. Throw out a bunch of rules tell people they are going to hell if they don't dress the part.

It is more so sad that some Apostolics will not accept holiness is in every part of life. They want to make Heaven their home and still live like Hell. Cannot and will not ever happen. One must be holy in all areas of life.

But as the One Who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all your conduct and manner of living. For it is written, You shall be holy, for I am holy. (1 Peter 1:15-16 AMP)

To some people, you can have a good attitude and still be holy, though you may dress like the world in relation to gaudy fashions and ungodly apparel. You cannot declare one as holy before the Lord. Their heart is not truly holy, for they desire to continue in ungodliness in one area of life.

Jesus calls us to be holy in every area of life, not just the spiritually applicable ones. If not, then we are not holy. So, if you do not want a dress code for holiness, and choose to continue living like the world, then your heart is not holy before the Lord.

A holy heart and spirit will result in a holy life without exception.

Talk is cheap. I want to see some proof that early Christians preached clothesline messages and focused on dress standards. Show me just one documented sermon or any proof, other than just because people like you say so.

Rico,

This is a liberal strawman! If all of society was modest we, today, would dress no differently than the rest of society. I can assure you that IF there were identifying dress standards for the ungodly in scripture, none of the early church would have dared to dress like the ungodly.

I find it sad that you and others would dare to reduce the apostolic church to one that has reduced one of the most sacred aspects of living for God, namely holiness, and reduced it to a dress code! Your statement is unintentionally false, but false never-the-less!
