If clothes were so important, why is it Jesus never addressed it? Oh he left that up to you, I'm sorry I forgot!

This is a funny place to hang out...
... and that is a dangerous argument! "I don't see it listed... " Now there's a quote worthy of the tag LEGALIST!
Going down that road will sure help ease our concerns about doing anything we want to do! There are a LOT OF THINGS that Jesus never addressed that are still WRONG. And please don't say, "Like what?"... puhleeze...
I am not justifying that list you mentioned... as a matter of fact, my congregation will tell you that I preach this stuff very often. However, I am not willing to pretend that nothing matters but loving Jesus... I read of some that tried that on Jesus and His response was (in paraphrase)... You did what? Cast out devils? Miracles? That's funny... Oooopps! Sorry... I never knew you!
