I beg to differ. Your inner thoughts are as important as your outside appearence. Your outward unveils what is from within your inside. Allow me to expound. If satjas for instance consumes edibles in form of Mangoes or any other consumables. It is only right to say that in the event that S/He developes health difficulties with his tummy then we are 100% likely to see his body puke out mangoes and not anything else he didn't take in.Apply this line of reasoning to the topic at hand.

A person cannot claim real victory until they have conquest over their own heart. The heart desires that which is pleasing. And what one does on the outside with their body is a direct prompt from the heart. Therefore the if the inner dress code is respectful then the the external physical looks are also respectful. It is with this fact that mind Christ emphasizes on the extreme change of heart. IF the heart is tamed to follow Christ then others are lead to see Christ on the his followers as opposed to seeing the world.

TM this is a good teaching you have initiated here. I hope our brother and sisters will contribute sanely.

God bless all
