I think a washing machine is a really good invention, as is a sewing machine lol.
There are likely some people who don't have washing machines. When I was in Viet Nam and in the Domincan Republic I saw women washing clothes in river water by beating them with or against rocks. They were poor but they also worked hard to be physically clean.
I have never had to do that nor has my wife. Since her disability has hindered her in that respect, washing clothes [in a machine] has been my job.
Also God doesnt want us wearing filthy rags, its quite clear in the bible we have garments of praise and fine white linen robes in heaven, and that we are not naked but clothed in Christ.
Amen!
But we shouldnt worry over what to wear as thats what Gentiles worry over. God does give us clothes..right back to Adam and Eve it was His mercy to clothe us.
No, we should not worry about what clothes we wear, but we should thank God for His blessings in the way of clothes and do our best to make ourselves look what seems to be godly. Just what is that?
Jesus says if you put a new patch on an old garment it just makes it worse.
My mother used to save the worst of her children's torn and worn clothes to use as patches to repair those still salvageable. She repaired the old with the old.
What i dont understand is ripped jeans. I saw the other day some shops are selling ripped capris. They have holes already in them! I'm like ok, why would anyone pay to wear new clothes that make them look like a homeless person. Does not make sense!!! I'm sure the people that make them must think the people that buy them are very strange.
People often do not make sense, but that is really not a new thing.

The nakedness was OK in the first garden mentioned in scripture, but that was when the eyes of people did not imagine evil from what they saw. Likely the people of God will move back into such a time of innocence, but it is not yet.
