What's The Dress Code That God Wants?

I always tell people "If God intended us to wear clothes we would have been born with some on"
My kids are 8 and 6 so I know all about them growing out of clothes faster than you can buy them. I always figure if someone doesn't like what I put them in, or they want them to wear something else they can go buy it themselves.

Jenny, If God had a "DRESS CODE" then none of us would have been born naked.
We would have been extracted from our mother's womb wearing the best Sunday clothes with ties and shiny black shoes and thick dresses that would have required doctors to have tailors as nurses to expertly rip and sew back the dresses just to cut our umbilical cords...

These so called "society" that governs our government and churches have gone too far with their hypocritical ideas that they use "GOD" as an excuse...

Go figure...

Wow. Well I can understand about having your son dressed nicely for a baptism. Churches are very different. My cousins are Italian Catholic and their church is very formal so you are expected to dress nicely in slacks and a button down shirt for men and nice slacks/skirts/dress for women. Now on the other than I grew up Lutheran (we took my mom's religion) and since our church is so small and has no air conditioning it was accepted to wear shorts and tank tops during the summer months.

For a little kid especially 5 years old, what does your ex expect him to wear? A suit? I mean com'on. For a baptism, even Catholic baptism, tan slacks and a cute little shirt or a polo would definitely be acceptable. If your ex doesn't think that the clothes that you have for your son are acceptable, I would send them with your son this weekend and if he wants him to wear something "nicer" according to him, let your ex be forced to buy new clothes for your son.

Good luck.

the dress code that god's want, simply to say being modess.

Well God does not have any dress code...but visiting church or any holy place will have a dress code...dress code only mean that you need to be dressed in decent clothes because in there, there are people whom we respect...there are people who come there only for peace and to feel the presence of God...your dress may distract them...they come there with some belief and you need to consider them...and if you are not ready to dress well to go there...you can simply make you wishes at you home because God is everywhere....

As far as I know modesty is all God requires. Introducing soeone to the hypocrasy of any group is the best thing you could maybe do for them If they chose to become a part of that group or to not to be a part of it then they will be making a most inforned decision.

If I was in your shoes Id simply tell the guy he child as no such clothes so he should be prepared to do some emergency shopping when he picked up the child, if it is so imprtant to him. I would also still pack the best of what I have.

Church is a fantastic place. If only we were able to get past all the human barriers which some figure we must mount to get to God.

This is another example of the stipid ritualistic dogma of religion. What clothes was your child born wearing?

I really doubt the church cares about what your son is going to be wearing. I imagine they'll be focused on the child getting baptised...or they should be anyway. It sounds to me like your ex is just giving you a difficult time. Pants and a collared shirt should be just fine. If not, I would tell the ex to buy what he feels is suitable.
