It does cost money to dress noce. Are you saying that a poor person shouldn't be allowed to attend church? Are you gonna take that person shopping so they appear nice to your standards?

Obviously you didnt read what I wrote. I was addressing those that have clothes, but are more interested in wearing their jeans because thats what they want to do.

God cares if you are wearing jeans? I have never seen him kick anyone out of church for coming in jeans. Perhaps more people would attend church if people with your views would broaden your horizons and quit being close minded
Context my dear, the point was man dosent see the heart, as God does, man judges by what he see's. Dont expect a stranger that wants to talk to someone about salvation or something troubling them to aproach the surfer looking dude. They will no doubt look for someone who looks they are there to attend church.
The pastor should have took one look at the Bible and should have remained silent. (Refering to the Cowboy)
I dont know where your getting closed minded, are you there for God, to worship him. Or is it all about your comfort and what you want?
If you read my post I said give God your best. If your best is jeans thats fine!
Thats how I look at it. I am there to worship God. I don't think it should matter what you wear as long as you go to worship. That doesn't mean to go all scummy but if you wear a nice pair of jeans and a shirt, what should it matter?

yes exactly .... that is what the passage you quoted says is the wrong thing to do.
you completely mistook the meaning of the passage and are still using it to argue the opposite point it's making.
The lord was telling Samuel that he shouldn't base his assumptions on appearance because it's the wrong thing to do.
Here you are saying that people should put forth more effort into their appearances, when that is the exact opposite of what god was telling Samuel.
For gods sake woman, I hope you aren't teaching anyone.

unfortunately, the point you were arguing for was the exact opposite of the point god was making.
I'm not sure what those other 'points' refer to.
I suppose you are calling me 'proud' 'arrogant' etc. etc.
.... That's fine.
I'll turn the other cheek.
I've said it before, but just for fun, I'll say it again. Unless you actually know what you're talking about, don't preach it. I've never seen anyone claim to know so much, but present so little.
I see you have faith, and there is nothing wrong with that. However, you do yourself, other christians, and god himself a disservice when you plunge in a discussion armed with 'facts' and 'points' about the bible that run completely against what is actually being said.
This, as well as things like not knowing the correct spelling of 'Satan', show that rather then actually read and/or learn for yourself, you have assumed ideals that you yourself approve of, and may or may not actually be in the bible. It's the worst kind of blasphemy because it's done in gods name without so much as a how-do-you-do in his direction.
Does LROD have any relation to AROD?

What church is this and where?

The church I attend has a little bit of everything where clothing is concerned. I was always raised to wear dresses as a little girl but switched to pants when I started teaching kids. (I tend to sit on the floor a lot and it just makes it easier.) My praise and worship is still the same regardless of what I have on.

I went on vacation a few years back. Hadnt been to mass in quite a few years. My wife talked me into going. All I had to wear was Jeans and a decent shirt. It was either that or shorts. I wore the jeans. The Priest decided this was his day to mock those in Church in jeans. I got up and walked out. I dint want to be the one upsetting him and heck it was before the collection started.
