First off, that is not what I said. I was talking about the difference between how modest was defined in first century and how it is now defined in the 21st century.
But yes, I am very Oneness Apostolic, grounded in the Word of God with an understanding of the culture to which it is written. I never allowed myself to think that society has not changed over the years. Has American society remained the same of the last hundred year? Why then, should we assume that the 1st century Roman society is exactly the same as 21st century American society. The Scriptures were written for the benefit of all generations, but specifically to the people of the time period and culture of the people to which it was directly written. That said, yes I am OA, but I don't allow traditions to guide me, rather I let Scripture with a historical understanding of the times that the Scripture was written and the Holy Spirit guide my understanding.
