Of course they would, even if he had already left the scene and they would remain in the garden in awe. No clothes should be lying around.

If invited to meet a head of state, I would dress formally to show my respect. Likewise people show up appropriately at funerals. Even criminals dress up in suites to bid their fellow criminals farewell. Likewise, one should dress up in what is considered quality in that culture when coming to church. This is all universal, so obviously part of Gods creation. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-15718589792563243032017-07-02T13:37:17.440-07:002017-07-02T13:37:17.440-07:00Shouldnt people just show up in the natural state ...Shouldnt people just show up in the natural state then?

We are supposed to know that we are nothing, worthless, sinful and no good. That's the message.<br /><br />Ties in with the ministers needing to learn to encourage and nurture. Someone who has no self respect has been torn down to the very lowest place and needs to be picked up, not stomped on. How are these ministers going to do in the "kingdom" with people who have been through the hell and horror of "the worst time ever"? Are they going to stand there on their high and mighty and tell these folks, who need to have wounds (mental and spiritual) bound up that they better put on their best, when the 'place' they are 'at' IS their best? Maybe they could go practice in Syria or in a refuge camp. Trouble is, that many of them are so out of touch with the real world that they do not see there are many now that come from such a type of place, only their circumstances don't make the news.<br /><br />A little walking in someone else's shoes might be in order. Is that why there will be those that go through the tribulation, in part to understand and be "humbled"? I don't know. Perhaps.<br /><br />6:48 AM <br />Oh yes, robes and sandals!

They consider him to be a quasi-Biblical figure (God's Apostle), so even though no mention of these things are made in the Bible, ACOG ministers revere it as part of the "truths once delivered". <br /><br />It is ridiculous! God answers the prayers that I pray first thing in the morning while in my underwear. He looks at the heart (Adam and Eve were nudists until they sinned). God has also answered prayers I've prayed while riding my motorcycle attired in such a way that is very off-putting to most civilized humans. Again, He looks at the heart.<br /><br />For major corporations: Business attire is suit and tie. Business casual is nice slacks and perhaps polo shirt. Total casual goes to jeans, or shorts and T-shirt or tank top. And then, there is just plain ratty, off the scale. Biker or homeless chic. The problem is, the ACOGs are intolerant of anything except the formal business attire. Ministers begin to get antsy over nice business casual, which really shows no disrespect because it's totally presentable. I bet they probably still insist on women wearing stockings, even though most of us have not seen them in the general public for decades. Unsightly, stereotyping 1940s attire from the approved category is deemed as acceptable, while current business casual, or casual are not. In the words of Mr. Spock, " This is illogical, Captain."<br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-9129310835050158612017-07-02T10:24:09.260-07:002017-07-02T10:24:09.260-07:00You have such a "christian" attitude!
