Gee, are you sure? You dont think Paul adapted himself to certain cultural practices to reach that community? In fact
1 Corinthians 11 is about cultural relevancy (regardless of what you may have been told)
Paul was not conformed to the sin of this world, but he certainly adapted to the culture in which he ministered...
The victorian standards of the apostolic church are quickly making it irrelevant to all but the very worst of society... whom do have great testimonies... but what about the other 80+ % - who dont need some way out radical extreme, they just need Jesus?
The irrelevance of the practice(not necessarily the message) keeps the gospel hid
