Bible Answer: Greetings Guitarrocker, Perhaps the best of what could be said about women's apparel in the Bible is found in 1 Peter 3:1-6, in which Paul says, "Do not let your adornment be merely outward ... rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God." If 1 Peter 3:1-6 is a personification of your attitude in worship, then it really shouldn't matter what you wear to church. Blessings to you, Makarios |
