1 | Come as you are | Bible general Archive 1 | rondc | 48559 | ||
Can someone direct me where it says or indicates in the bible about "come as you are". I'm having a discussion with the youth in my church to which they bring this quote up every time I make mention to them about the clothes they wear to church. Thanks in advance. | ||||||

When I was growing up, you had to put on "your Sunday's best." It got to the point if you didn't have "the best" you just don't go. Do we go to church to look our best, or do we go to receive the best. The youth of today are very intelligent people, and they can see right through all that nonsense. I think we try to hard to have our youth to look and act like we did. The way I see it, Thank God they are in church! Let God speak to their heart to dress accordingly. God always beckons people to "come as you are". |

I'm not really trying to make dress an issue. The kids are trying to tie this "quote" to dress I'm trying to show that it applies to other things and not just dress. | ||||||

Ooh! Well, as we come to God as we are, we discover our purpose in life and we go on to our destiny. 2Corinthains 5:1-3, and 2Corinthians 5:17. |

I think the concept of come as we are refers to whatever condition you are in, come to Jesus. Then He cleans us up. I don't think it's referring to come to church no matter how tackily dressed you are, esp if you're a believer. I've noticed there are people who take sloppy to an artform coming to church or skimpy, I don't think that's appropriate. Even a poor person who doesn't have much can dress accordingly, as long as you're clean and modest. I don't think church should be a fashion show, but it shouldn't be a picnic place either. I went to a church one time that almost everybody dressed on shorts, Tshirts, flip flops, it seems you should have more respect for God than to come to church like that. | ||||||

Hi Norrie, I agree with what you're saying, however young people have their own style. I have seen the same situation with people dressing down, but Praise God, we go to Church to see Jesus! |

Own style or not, some situations call for appropriate attire, even for young people. :) Ones under parental control seems like they should have more parental control. :) | ||||||
