Should Church attire be criticized?

Does God even care how a person is dressed?

My pleasure

It depends on what you believe is more important to God, your heart or your clothes?.

So if someone chooses their manner of attire based on the glory of God and God doesn't care?
My only point in all of this is to attempt to share with you a wider perspective.

^ That's beautiful. Thank you for sharing that.
Paul is also my favorite communicator to different audiences.

"Should we wear this or that?" is a question from a child. To them, I say "Wear what your conscience tells you." Knowing to whom you are sent (only those with wisdom are sent) settles the matter before asking: wear what the people expect. The exception is "What the Lord shows you directly."

This is Paul to the Corinthians:

"For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; 20 and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law; 21 to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law; 22 to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. 23 Now this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I may be partaker of it with you."

How will the people receive you? If they will receive you more readily if you wear a suit jacket, wear a suit jacket. If jeans, wear jeans. Etc. Although we have freedom from the traditions of men we are sent to men as ambassadors. And, if as ambassadors, then we are free to take part in their traditions as long as their traditions are not sin.

I knew two men who were sent by God to people in South Africa. Although apartheid was illegal then it was still fresh in the traditions of the people (You can set the people free but they can remain slaves in their thinking and, so, remain slaves in their mannerisms.) One man was black and the other was a white man, both from the United States.

Although the black man could carry his own luggage, he asked the white man to do so. Since they were friends and believers, both men knew the reason: in South Africa seeing a white man serve a black man did violence against the mindset of apartheid that held the black people in bondage. The men who were sent knew they represented the Kingdom of God and not any tradition of man. This simple act made the people all the more ready to hear the message from the men who were sent.

The bible makes mention of how God clothed the lilies of the field. Said that even Solomon was not dressed in such splendor. What one believes in most important to God is not necessarily the same as what God actually considers to be most important.

I haven't said that God doesn't care. Clearly, I have already said about 100 times that I do not believe (I do not believe, based on what the Bible says) that it is more important than what you have inside your heart. If you wanted to give me a wider perspective, we would not be arguing about things that clearly have not been stated in the Bible, at least not for this dispensation of Grace. As I told you, if that makes you feel better and if you feel that you are doing it for the glory of God, you have every right to do it. I have never said that I am against dressing well to go to church.

I have been in churches where people dress very elegantly and the lady who ministered praise on one occasion, after having ministered praise, sat down like everyone else to listen to the preaching and then a homeless man came in and sat next to her and the thing that she did was look at him with a face of contempt and disgust and changed seats.

It has also happened to me that while I was at an international conference, one of the pastor, dressed in a suit, while I was in the bathroom, came and stood next to me in the urinals and asked me if I would please let him see my tool. So that's why I say, only God can know what is truly in our hearts no matter what one appears to be on the outside.

Yeap, it is so important to God how we dress to go to Church that he dedicates an entire chapter to it, in the book that no one knows about. In Isaiah 1 and Isaiah 58 it is clear what matters to God more than the traditions of men.

See post #53 that @Magenta wrote regarding clothing, from the book of Matthew and Isaiah. I'm reasonably certain that you know of these books. The father of the prodigal son, when he finally came back to him, told his servants to put the best robe on him.

And as I said, what you wear is a matter of the heart if you are truly seeking God's glory...whatsoever you do, do to the glory of God.

That verse refers to the worries that man has every day and Jesus tells them that they should not worry about what they are going to eat or wear, that if God gives the birds of the sky their daily sustenance and that if the flowers of the field that today they grow and tomorrow they are cut off, they dress better than Solomon the more God would give us clothes to be able to clothe ourselves. Like the Israelis, they were certain that their clothing and sandals were not damaged in 40 years because God wanted it that way and they were not exactly luxury clothing or sandals. That verse has nothing to do with how we should dress to go somewhere, it only says that God will not leave you without clothes to wear.

And like I have said: So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, (OR DRESS CODES),..

If you want to dress elegantly to go to church and you are one of those who will judge those who do not want or cannot dress elegantly, then do it too. I have already said it about 101 times, that you have every right to do so, not to judge those who do not want to dress like you, but to dress as you want to. With a tuxedo if you want or in Crocs too, if you want as well.

First let's address the idea that dressing in a classic style (suits or jackets and ties) is appropriate for church.
I think it is, but not because of a religious reason or "church rule". It simply communicates "responsible, leadership, serious," and of course it looks better.

Dress styles are not a salvific issue or an indication that one is more devoted to Christ than another; However, there are dress styles that look better than others. Or should I say, make you look better.

Why dress like an 8 year old boy when dressing like a responsible adult cost less?

I like how I look in a quality suit or sports coat. The kind I like cost thousands of dollars off the rack, such as Hart Schaffner and Marx, or Hickey Freeman. However, I have never bought them retail. I buy them from thrift stores for $8 - $25 and they are usually brand new. That is cheaper than the frumpy, sloppy sports clothes most people are buying who are supposedly "dressing down" and yet spending their whole paycheck on clothes that they feel peer pressure to wear.

And why should I feel like dressing like a clown (the sports clothe fashions) just because everyone else says they think it is cool. I still like the classic styles and i guess that is why they are classic. Styles come and go but I doubt that I will see any clothing style come around that looks better than the $2 Joseph A Banks Sport coat I found the other day. It was probably $300 new. It looks brand new and I paid $2.

If anyone thinks I am being insensitive to the homeless by wearing high end suits, just send them my way and I will tell them where they can get a suit for less than the Tee Shirt they are wearing. It's not insenstive to the homeless for a preacher to wear a nice suit if he bought it for $20 from Good Will.

People should not judge the man in a Tee Shirt and the man in the Tee Shirt should not judge the preacher in a suit.

It has nothing to do with Church or Christian tradition, it is about looking your best and having good taste. And I don't care who thinks that one style looks as good as the other, it just isn't true. People are looking silly not because it looks good but because they believe other people think it looks good and pleasing other people is the motive behind why they are dressing like clowns. It's sad. If the fashion industry tells them that wearing a sheepskin coat with short shorts is cool they will do it. The need to be accepted overrides their common sense and they can't think for themselves.
