Mass Indoctrination Day 10: The Apparel Commanded By God

(Edited)
Greetings to you all and I would like to share with you what I learned from the Mass Indoctrination Session Day 10.
Important points we have learned from God's word discussed in the Zoom meeting:

If you are studying about God commands then God has a command concerning what you wear. Many denominations do not frown on any dress but wleocme any dress is during church service and this is against the true doctrine of Christ. We have to be concerned about what we lust on the outer man(flesh). Though God has a prescribe way of dressing but some denominations do not prohibits any kind of dress that looks ungodly and even welcome their congregants to services thinking that by talking about it will become a stumbling block to stop their congregants from attending their services. However, in a true church the doctrines will teach the truth no matter what.


How are the children of God different from others?

In 2 Corinthians 4:16, we see that there is outward man and inward man.They are both different. The outward man is our flesh which can grow old or perish. The outward man can perish but the inward man is renewed day by day. What is inward man? There are two kinds of human.

One whose inside is pure and one whose inside is evil or have an animalistic behavior. There are men who are human but whose inside is beastly and there are those that are man inside and outside.
What is the sign that what is inside of us is man or beast?

The one who obeys what God says and would not go against them is the sign of the one who has a "man" inside. If we are treating our fellow men the bad way then what's inside us is a beast. Again, the inner man is happy always. There is a kind of feeling you have that is a feeling of delight ones you do God's law.

In 2 Corinthians 13:5, we are told to always assess or examine ourselves to know what we have inside of us. Doing self assement or self examination will help us to know whether we are in still in the faith. If you still have God's law and obey them you still have the inner man.

There are those who find it hard to obey God's law but prefer living in darkness as John 3:19 describes them, even though light has come to those in darkness to live right but because of what is inside of them is evil they can't live right.


Do we have to live for the inner man or the outward man and what should we put on both?

Our adorning should not be outward as the scripture says in 1 Peter 3:3. There are those that look good outwardly but inside they are dirty. We should rather let our dressing be the adorning of the inner man and not the outer man. There are many way we dress that end up posing threat to the human body.

We buy expensive clothing to wear, put on our skin many skin products and all kinds of perfumes that rather become harmful to our health in the long run. It is not prohibited to use these products but there is a kind of adornment that should be more important to us, that is the adornment of the inner man.

Isaiah 3:17-24 God is against ungodly dressing as displayed by the women of Isreal in Isaiah 3:17-24, who adorned with gold, anklets at leg and hair extension.

Many cause people to be tempted to sin all becuase they show too much skin and this is prohibited by the doctrine of Christ. God prohibits ungodly dressing but delights in modest dressing.

Some denominations finds it hard to talk about their congregants dressing becuase they know that it will rather put them off from attending church. Our apparel should be modest not the one that expose our bodies.

Old Belief That was Improved By Listening To The Bible Studies:

The study was an eye opener to some of the ways in which we dress thinking it's good but turns out to be that which God prohibits. I'm glad to have discovered some of the harmful products and chemicals we apply on our body which I use to think they are good but with the scriptural and scientific knowledge learned in the course of the study I have come to the knowledge that all things are permissible but not all things are expedient.


How the Study Can Make Us Better And How We Can Use In Our Daily Lives

I have realised how important it is to live not for ourselves physically with all kinds of good things that promote the outward man but to live a spiritual life that centres more on the inner man, which is lost important. I believe with the kind of knowledge discovered from the teaching session, I will be able to live a life well pleasing to the Lord.

Thanks be to God for listening on our meeting.

II CORINTHIANS 4:18
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
