GOD AND FASHION
“In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the Word was God.”
“First this: God created the heavens and the earth– all you see, all you don’t see” Genesis 1:1 (MSG)
As a Christian I believe the Word of God which is the bible and the bible tells us that created everything that he is sole creator of the universe.
So therefore it is safe to say that God created fashion and so for those holier than thou Christians that won’t let anybody hear word, telling somebody that they can’t make heaven just because they are stylish ehya sorry to burst your bubble.
When God created Adam and Eve and put them in the garden they disobeyed God and ate the forbidden fruit they now realized that they were naked what did they do.
“Immediately the two of them did see what’s really going on – saw themselves naked. They sewed fig leaves together as makeshift clothing for themselves” Genesis 3: 7 (MSG)
(I’m sure when Eve ate the fruit she didn’t give it to Adam immediately she must have waited a while “admiring the view”).
“And so it came to pass that before the days of Coco Chanel, Christian Dior, Vera Wang, Ejiro Amos Tafiri, Jewel by Lisa, Deola Sagoe to mention a few. That Adam and Eve hath doth already rocketh and slayeth the trend known as floral print”
I can imagine Eve in a crop top and midi skirt made out of fig leaves of course. Now when God finally arrived and discovered their transgression he of course scolded and reprimanded them but guess what else he also did?? You guessed it
“God made LEATHER clothing for Adam and his wife and dressed them” Genesis 3:21 (MSG)
Urrrmm….. Need I say more? I mean God is the ultimate fashionista oh! He told them floral print is sooooo two seasons ago and he made them leather clothing. And this is not fake leather oh! We are talking real alligator boots and crocodile skin purses, chinchilla fur coats, leopard print hand bags. OMG!!! When they say read your bible una no go gree but as you can see anything and everything that can affect you or influence or interest as a human being has already been dealt with in the bible.
“The King’s daughter is all glorious within; Her clothing is interwoven with gold. She will be led to the King in embroidered work; The virgins, her companions who follow her, Will be brought to You”. Psalms 45:13-14
I don’t know about you but I am the daughter of a king.
BUT…… yes there is a very big but; the world of today has taken thing to a ridiculous extreme, nudity and indecency everywhere. Let us not forget that the bible advices us to do everything in moderation.
“You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, take care that you are not carried away with the error of lawless people and lose your own stability.” 2 Peter 3:17 (ESV)
“Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own.”1 Corinthians 6:19 ESV
And so while you want to be fashionable you don’t have to be trashy to do so. You can be classy and elegant and be the woman God has called you to be. The devil just likes to take everything out of proportion if he can’t get you to be in the world he will lead you to the other extreme of fanaticism where you just misinterpret the Word of God. But God wants us to live a balanced life, a love filled life he wants us to be the salt of the earth. So please go out ther and salten up the world by the power of the spirit.
