A Question: Do You Wear Robes?

[Witch of Endor]

I was wondering, Christians, if you could answer a question of mine.

Do you wear robes, specifically when you do your preaching, or do you wear more conventional clothing?

I know this may seem like a ridiculous question, but I feel it may have some Biblical relevance, and I wish to understand more.

Many thanks in advance for answering my question.

Blessed be, my mysteriously-clothed friends

No

I see. I must admit, I am a bit confused by this answer. I was under the impression that your Bible encouraged the wearing of robes.

And these are the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office. Exodus 28:4

I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. Isaiah 61:10

And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. Revelation 6:11

After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; Revelation 7:9
And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? Revelation 7:13

Now, of course, there is a high probability I am misunderstanding this here, so I would love it if somebody could clear this up for me.

Blessed be, my conventionally-clothed friends

Specific to Aaron, etc.

I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. Isaiah 61:10

God did this, if He chooses to do it to me, I would be delighted, however, so far He has not.

And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. Revelation 6:11

We await the 2nd Coming and Armageddon. If we read the next verse, we see who is in the white robes...
Re:7:14: And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Now, of course, there is a high probability I am misunderstanding this here,

The high probability has changed to certainty.

Re: A Question: Do You Wear Robes?

I see, thank you for your answer Mr. Bathfire. Now, if robes aren't standard apparel, am I to assume that the wearing of them goes against this verse?

And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD's sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel. Zephaniah 1:8

Or, am I to assume that, while the wearing of robes may be a bit unusual, it does not qualify as strange apparel?

Blessed be, my Christian friend

If it's strange apparel you are looking for, go see the Mormons, they wear magic underwear!

Interesting...

But seriously, I'm just wondering if wearing robes is considered strange apparel or not.

Does this explain why you have a problem with Mormon underwear?

The person below me tried to buy magic Mormon underwear from the interweb, but found none in their size.

No I am just sick and tired of the Mormons running around saying " Hey we are Christians too"!

If I wear to wear my robe outside it would be considered strange.

You understand it in the way that a Star Wars Fanboy, stuck in his bedroom at his parents house, thinks he understands the universe from watching the work of George Lucas. He has not left his room and his dvd collection to see what reality is like. You with your bible are very much like him and his dvd collection, you may have the full special edition boxed set but it still has nothing to do with reality.
