No,dear,YOU pray about it. You have judged a plenty on this thread,but then throw that "JUDGE NOT LEST YE BE JUDGED", misused and over quoted line.

Jesus dressed appropriately for HIS time. Nowhere in the Bible is HE ever described as wearing what would be the equivalent of dungarees.John the Baptist was described as "the wild man",not Jesus! So why would he wear 2,000+ year old clothes to an opera today ?

And it seems that HE was pretty upset,at the wedding in Cana, that enough GOOD wine hadn't been purchased for the guest;which was the right and proper thing to do.

Jesus wasn't UPSET at all about the wine. Show me one place in Scripture where it even indicates that. He didn't even want to perform the miracle. Mary asked Him to do it and he told her, "Woman, you know it is not my time."

John 2:1-4
2:1 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no more wine."

4 "Dear woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied. "My time has not yet come."
(from New International Version)

I'm sorry you feel as if I have judged anyone on this thread. I must admit I wish I had been more gracious when being personally insulted as to our church and my walk with God simply because I choose not to judge others by the clothes they wear. I have disagreed with some viewpoints on this thread, as have you.

You said, "So why would he wear 2,000+ year old clothes to an opera today?" My goodness. I believe Jesus can appear to us any time He chooses, any where He chooses, wearing any manner of clothes He chooses.

I would be interested to hear your response to what I was actually saying in my last post. Do you find it impossible that Jesus could appear in a form other than what you expect? Do you find it impossible to believe that He could appear as one of "us"?
