Jacket, Necktie, and Christianity

The composition challenges the practise of men wearing suits and neckties to religious meetings.

Some would say that men look elegant in a jacket and a necktie in church and elsewhere,

But it is in fact absurd to think every man should like to wear a suit and a necktie.

 

According to history, this kind of outfit definitely does not originate with Christianity.

When did Christian men adopt the custom of wearing a jacket and a necktie to meetings?

 

Some denominations practise religious fanaticism, and they overly focus on image.

Why can a brother not address the congregation if he is not wearing a jacket and a necktie?

 

A man does not have to own a suit and a necktie to be a Christian and worship God.

Moreover, jacket and necktie did not exist when Jesus Christ walked on the earth.

 

Even though men should not go to church dressed in camel’s hair like John the Baptist,

It is not necessary and advantageous to wear a suit and a necktie on the podium.

 

The leaders of religious organizations have the right to make rules and regulations,

But they should not give the impression that the Bible supports a regulation if it does not.

 

Since certain religious organizations put so much emphasis on image and clothing,

They should make the male members wear a distinct uniform to the meetings.
