What rules them out?

The point most have been making is to let everyone dress as they please.

What rules out the bums? Did someone rule out bums? I grew up in a church where we ministered to bums, drug/alcohol addicts and transients ALL the time--it was my Dad's main burden. And he always dressed up for church. It was never a barrier. Kindness and compassion don't need to be clothed in any particular way.

Re: Do Your Kids Dress Like Bankers?

This is getting off of the subject of dress clothes vs. casual clothes.... but I do not believe that the Bible teaches that plainness of dress is required. People have taken a couple of verses out of context and based entire philosophies on them.

Why is drabness more godly? Why do you have to be drab so that you don't draw attention to yourself? Sometimes you can draw attention to yourself because of your drabness.

And why should we strive to blend into the background? Why is that more godly? As long as we're not full of pride, or drawing attention to ourselves in an ungodly manner, then being attractive is not ungodly. God obviously loves beauty, why shouldn't we? We're made in his image. Look around you at the beautiful flowers, animals, birds, landscapes... God glories in beautiful things.

I believe the whole 'plainness' philosophy takes scripture out of context.

Didn't Jesus have a nice robe?
