Certainly we can agree that clothing and appearance can identify us as participating in something even if we are not? The above lady could be identified at a distance as a harlot by what she wore. Even if a lady was not a harlot but dressed as one - wouldn't she be identifying herself with them? Wouldn't this verse apply with no damage of context of any kind?

Even though people can go overboard with any Scripture to push their pet legalism... certainly the principle applies to outward appearance. I do not agree with this man's assessment on many areas. I listened to other videos and he is accepting to the idea of one listening to metal music etc. The list of such groups as Megadeath and others is appalling to me. These groups plaster their songs with evil and the glamorizing of it and feed the depression of many. There is a problem when one does not sever his/her ties with things that feed the flesh and rob them of spiritual life. If I pull up to a red light and have MegaDeath blaring on my radio - isn't that putting my approval on such unholy trash as being acceptable?
Right Harlotry is defined as Evil in the bible. And I don't agree with everything I have ever heard him say but I do like this particular video. And, I don't like metal at all, a lot of secular Metal is actually very blasphemous. But I do listen to secular music as long as it does not have inappropriate lyrics. I mean the Song of Solomon could be considered a secular poem or a play right. But like I said we do have to understand what is defined as Evil in the bible and avoid that. But I disagree that this particular scripture is talking only about the way someone looks..
