Does what a Christian woman wear make her a better Christian?


I think by now after two posts you probably figured out I am not your typical Christian. I am one of those Jesus freaks, born again,and speaking in tongues believers who feels free in Christ. I also feel free enough to leave my two cents every now and than. So today I would like to talk about Christian clothing. Now I am a Christian woman who wears pants, skirts, makeup, and jewelry. I just can`t get into the overly modest Look! Okay don`t look at me as if I have grown three heads you know the Look I am talking about. No make-up, no Jewelry, and dresses that sweep the floor. This is just not a look for me and I do not really enjoy walking around hot, and cleaning up every store I enter with the bottom of my dress. Then again we have those who take the word modesty to the extreme , to them wearing a sleeve less shirt is showing to much. Now if a man gets turned on by a shoulder he has issues and needs psychological help. I have watch allot of women who feel that this is the way to dress to please God. Well if you feel closer to God than so be it. But what the scripture tells us that faith is the only thing that pleases God. Note this verse "Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." The bible goes on to talk about those who dress in fine apparel but their inside is filthy. " white wash tombs" Jesus called them. The bible tells us that God is more concern about your heart than how you dress. Note this verse 1 Samuel 16:7 But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” Now don`t get me wrong as a woman their are things that are inappropriate for Christians. One example would be wearing a shirt that is way to small that your breasts are about to pop out your shirt and give you a black eye! If that is you, I seriously think you need to rethink what actual shirt size you wear. Also your skirt length should not show everyone in town what color your underwear is! If you can`t bend down or sit down without  sharing with the whole world, then your skirt is way to short. In the end use common sense when you dress, your clothing does not make you a better Christan, but the way you dress always makes an impression so dress yourself respectful.
1 Corinthians 6:19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?
