Many churches enforce a strict SUNDAY dress code for ladies who are ministries such as choir, ushering etc. Even the lady preachers are not spared; most will be told beforehand that trousers on the pulpit are a complete no-no.

What's interesting is that the same rule doesn't seem to during the week.

Is this really based on the Bible? Could it be that we have imposed aspects of our culture in our churches?

Google the bible and find out
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

This could be another agent of the devil! Whom are you to judge others... and who are others to judge you? Go to church to pray, not to look at what others are doing

@Mukiri, why the insult? I'm not an agent of the devil; I'm actually a Christian. Born again.

@mukiha, I've actually read the Bible and haven't found anything to back the practice. That's why I came to try and find an answer from wazua.

I doubt you will find this in the bible. But its fine to enforce a dress code so that as people pay attention to you as the speaker, whithout being distracted by the way you are dressed. This also applies to Sossionlets ( teachers)

@JL unfortunately what you see is people claiming the commandments and practising something else.
The genuine believers practising the commandments of God, are shunned.

@mukiha, @Mukiri it is you who should read your Bible. You claim to know but you know is what your pastors tell you!

@JL, study Islam and you'll not be disappointed. I invite you to reflect, to reconsider, to research objectively with open heart and open mind
the evidence that are there.

@Justice League, check who makes that rule, is it the men or the women in the church. Mostly its men to cover their inadequacies.

@Mukiri you are indeed strange.

I guess the Bereans Spoken of in Acts were Judging Paul and they were perhaps agents of the devil as well ?

Quote:
Acts 17:11
11 Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.


Nothing wrong with examining and testing all things...Against Scripture not against our own standard of righteousness.
