Andrew, I appreciate you, and b/c you assumed I was attacking people simply for their dress, then you did, in fact, misperceive what I was saying.

I could not agree with you more on the well-arranged dress and materialistic dress of persons who are hypocritical to the core-- those who make physical appearance of reverence but are snakes underneath.  REALLY!  I could not agree with you more.  I could have written an entry on that too.  I do not presume to know any man heart. Ie never claimed that. But you cannot deny that what a person really is on the inside WILL be shown by what he says, what he does, and how he presents himself--- whether you like it or not, the way we dress does speak as to our character.  You may not like that, but it true.  I know you have your reasons for reacting so strongly, but I am not those people.  You should know that too.  Somehow, though, I don think that you would walk into a church to worship with holey jeans and flip flops.  As Christians, we ARE to be dignified (and I know you know that).

Just as a person shows himself to be UNDIGNIFIED by his dress, a person can express DIGNITY by his dress.  In no way do I agree that dress is the sole factor.  Never would I agree to that.  I believe it still a factor, though.    

I understand the cautioning of Timothy in his book and in that particular chapter about the excessive adornments and the lure of wealth.  You may not be aware of this, but I actually read the Bible everyday and study it and try my best to apply it?in all aspects of my life--appearance, expressions, my treatment of others, etc. (I not saying I perfect saying I sincerely try my darndest) etc.  A TRUE Christian is a Christian as a whole. 

I find it ironic that you question me with, o you intend to know what occurs inside the minds and hearts of others? Do YOU know what is heartfelt and what is not??and then you say at the end, et's look at the hearts of men.?nbsp;

I know that you weren attacking me as I am not attacking you either.  Ok?
