And this is close to the heart of the matter, and also starts entering in the "relevance" area.
Most, including Papabear, hold up Jesus (and the cross and His message) as not being
relevant at the time He lived, yet he dressed according to their modern customs and ate what they ate and knew what parables to tell, etc.
If He had come in THIS day, would he have still wore a robe? No, he would probably be wearing jeans. He would have also spoke the modern language of the day (including, dare I say, some modern "geek" terms when it comes to technology). Would he have spoke from the side of a hill? He probably would have used a stadium and modern PA system. I would call that being "relevant".
Obviously no one here thinks we need to keep wearing robes and sandals, so what is the difference when someone says we don't need to dress like the 1940's or 50's?
