Double minded??

Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded James 4:8


It seems that there is a lot of double minded talk in Christians today. A couple of days ago I was listening to a radio talk show. The host was answering a caller's question about women wearing pants. He said that teaching that women couldn't wear pants was legalism. It doesn't matter what we wear.

Later in the show, he was discussing a minister that was conducting his services wearing a pro-wrestling tee shirt. He said the minister had also gotten a number of tattoos since he had been saved. He also talked about some other things that this man is saying.

While I agree with the host that this minister is not in line with the Bible, what was he saying about an hour earlier in the show?

He said that it didn't matter what Christians wear. We can't have it both ways.

Yes, the Bible teaches not to tattoo ourselves. (Leviticus 19: 28)
The Bible also teaches us how we should dress as Christians. (1 Timothy 2:9-10) (1 Peter 3: 1-4)(Deuteronomy 22:5) These are some of the verses.

We can't just pick and choose which parts of Scripture that we like. Neither can we say it is OK for one group of Christians(women) to dress however they want (even if this goes against the Bible) and then condemn another christian because he wears whatever he wants to to minister to people. Wouldn't this make us hypocrites?
