Justin and Tiffany tackle one of the most policed doctrines in Oneness Pentecostalism: modesty. Specifically, how Genesis 3 and other passages are twisted into a theology of dress codes and appearance-based holiness. In this episode, they examine how biblical texts are misused to shame the body, oversexualize women, and tie God’s presence to clothing. They break down how Old Testament metaphors are reimagined as modern mandates, and how fear-based interpretations keep people bound to man-made standards. From garden coverings to tabernacle symbolism, they expose the performance behind the preaching—and why real holiness has nothing to do with fabric.

Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience… And above all these put on love. – Colossians 3:12–14 ESV
