Let's say that two girls claim to be "Christians."

One girl is wearing flip-flop sandals without socks on so that her [naked] toes and other parts of her [bared] feet are plainly visible to the [thus-sexually-harassed] general public.

The other girl is also wearing flip-flop sandals but with opaque socks on thus covering all parts of her bare feet so that NO parts of her nude feet are visible to the at-random mixed-gender public.

WHICH of the two girls is the genuine Christian....and which one is the FAKE [pseudo-]"christian?"

A NON-thinking ignorant or smart-ass person might superficially answer: "Both." Or: "Either one." Or - worst of all: "It doesn't matter if they wear socks or not."

If that last person who retorted with: "It doesn't matter...." blattered out that ignorant response of theirs with belligerance, he or she is not only ignorant [deliberately or not], but he or she is an arrogant moron, imbecile, or even [demonic] idiot.

Now that I've ruffled you the reader's feathers, you might now indignantly exit in a self-righteous rush and puriently-pious huff or quickly click into something else with prejudicially-bigoted and biased indifference. Then again, you might instead read on with insatiable curiosity - knowing that you are safely reading mere non-personal words from an anonymous source, which source is trying to prove some point with some kind of ax to grind.

In Jeremiah 2:25 both the RSV and NASV Bible versions state something like:

"Keep your feet from being unshod, and your throat from thirst. But you have said, 'It is hopeless, for I have loved strangers, and after them I will go."

In context of the surrounding chapter verses before and after, of course.

It might just occur to perhaps even the densest of readers that the Scripture verse quoted above COULD (if even remotely) relate to the at-best questionable and at worst luridly indecent, vile, and pornographic phenomenon of not only worldly but especially PSEUDO-"christian" gals exposing parts of their bare feet in general-heterosexual/both-genders public view.....with SOCKLESS SANDALS or similar woefully-inadequate footwear....for WHATEVER seasonal-or-other doctrines-of-demons "warm-days" coolness, tanning, style and fashion irrationalizations they connive or concoct from others or themselves.

Some of the more argumentative and deviantly-savvy religious-heretic types might merely brush off and then flippantly dismiss what they presume (NOT "assume") are "proof-texts" which "only applied in a previous dispensation of Old-Covenant law to the ancient Hebrews of Israel before law-fulfilling-and-therefore-law-abolishing Jesus came on the scene who replaced legalistic and impossible-to-perfectly-obey, godly, holy, and Scripturally-recorded traditions with anything-goes, turn-the-other-cheek, love-supercedes-judgement, mercy and grace."

Other warped religious revisionists dogmatically allege that such Old-Testament verses as Jeremiah 2:25......as with RSV's and NASV's Numbers 5:18, Song 7:5, and First Corinthians 11:14-16 pertaining to LOOSE long hair, Second Samuel 13:18 pertaining to bare-naked sleevesless arms, Isaiah 47:1-4 pertaining to nude legs bared with shortened skirts or shorts of any length......have to be "re-interpreted" to mis-suit the lewd customs of self-righteous deviously-"enlightened" modern pagans with doctrines-of-Christ-rejecting commentaries and twisted explanations, like "Don't wear out your shoes running after after gods (NIV). [In fact, "wearing out shoes" does NOT even remotely apply and has absolutely NOTHING to do with the Hebrew Text intended by the Divinely-inspired author]!

Even IF Jeremiah 2:25 and similar pro-modesty-inferring O.T. Bible verses [such as Song 7:1 using "footsteps in sandals" instead of "feet in sandals"] DID have one of several interpretive aspects relating to "avoiding idols, idolatry, and idol-worship," WHY - in the name of God - are THE precise words: "feet," "unshod," and "loved strangers" used to refer to such? WHAT - in the dam fk - have those PARTICULAR words to do with "idols," "idolatry," or "idol worship" WHATSOEVER? WHY were THOSE words used - and not other words???

A badly number of anti-Biblical heretics and demented goofs might self-excuse themselves with recollections of perverted "artistic" mis-renderings of Bible characters they saw in Satan's Sunday-morning Sunday-school books, pamphlets, and paintings as children. Not content with mis-portraying our mighty Lord Jesus with wimpishly-effeminate loose-long hair, the Devil's sheisters illustrate Bible characters as exposing parts of their bared feet with sockless sandals instead of slippers not hidden by too-short robes. THAT is supposed to justify the sinful-nature demonic cravings of carnal minds satiated with rebellious lust - whether they admit it or not.

Even many fundamentalist islamic women with their shawls and long-sleeved robes [and in NO way painfully dying of heatstroke, with or without palace air-conditioning] short-circuit their most-admirable summertime modesty with feet partially exposed with sockless sandals instead of royal persian and arabian slippers.
