Should all grow and mature setting aside the flesh and the lusts as God makes them aware and gives strength?
Of course.
Some posters are unhinged upon the manner of attire worn.
In the ancients, BOTH men and women worn long flowing tunics. That was for their time, but in contrast to today the tunics were not particularly distinguishable as male or female tunics. They were tunics - non gender specific.
Today, the cloth is cut differently to accentuate the body. The clothing is worn to entice, to deceive, to enhance, to hide defects, to support, ....
So ultimately, we’re at this place in the thread where arguments are constructed around one wearing what is seen as deceitful. Yet, the very deceit is carried on every day in every assembly by everybody. That fact cannot be escaped.
Some may want to think of it differently, but deceit is deceit. A lie is a lie. In this some posters are correct.
But, do not think deceit is less than deceit when women and men “dress for success” in the workplace or the assembly.
Osteen dresses in suits to deceive.
Houston (not the place) dresses without suits to deceive.
Some posters on this thread put on cloths this morning knowing they deceive.
Deceit is not conditional.
I’m about as strong as bad breath. When I was born, others clothed me. When I die, others will cloth me. Until then I dress to hide my sinful body and its imperfections.
Is that wrong?
