Puritan Board Doctor
Hi. I am sure this has been talked about before on PB. I did search, but for some reason I could only view single posts; I didn't read every individual post separately, so I don't know if that thread was about women and modesty or appropriate attire for all. My question is about appropriate attire for all: Is there such a thing?
I'm spinning off from the Vestment Wars VII, where Nathan E. asked if requiring robes and such of our teaching elders is a biblical standard.
Can a specific type of dress at all (even suits/ties for the men or sunday best dresses for the women) be supported by the Scriptures? For the elders or the laity? I know I've heard at least one mention of proper dress from the pulpit.
For the argument's sake, modesty is not an issue. Considering two equally modest outfits, could one be more appropriate than the other?
I bet it seems that I am asking this question only to share my opinion. I admit that I do have an opinion, but, I don't have a "this-is-supported-by-Scripture," opinion, and my stance is not firm on this issue.
I am sincerely asking what the Bible requires of us♥
Shalom,
jessi
