I operate under the assumption that God cares about the heart- your heart. Personally, I found i physically feel better about studying Gods word when im comfortable. that means for me, No tie, no dress slacks, and comfortable shoes (or no shoes at home :P ) course if i get to comfortable- i sleep. so for me there is a line, I know that line, I see nothing wrong with being comfortable in church.

a Bad heart can lead to appropriate and inappropriate dress (immodest) but one can not have a right heart and wear immodest clothing.

So i would contend that, the strictly biblical answer (devoid of modern culture) is that oone should only dress modestly.

when we bring culture in- we have various veiws about "what is modest" some assume that any modern clothing not found in the victorian era is immodest. thats a whole different debate. but as far as what is relavent to this debate consider this

(this maybe where my first paragraph falls apart..) Yes I feel comfortable in jeans and shirts/polos ... I would excuse a man wearing jeans and a polo to church. but would i would support his choice as long as his heart was right. but if that guy showed up to a wedding?????

so throw out what man would think at weddings or???
