One Corinthians 15 verse 56
"the sting of death is sin; The strength of sin is the law".
Why is the strength of sin the law? Because if there were no law, every action would be the same; there would effectively be no sin. The law identifies what sin is. Theoretically if you do not know what sin is, you cannot do sin. Take the example of a woman who dresses immodestly for the purpose of raising lust in men: if it were not a sin to incite sin in others and modest dress were not required, then low necklines, split shirts, high skirts, in tight clothes would not be sin. But if there is a dress code, then women who do not follow it are sinning (and the authorities are sinning if they allow it). The Bible says that, “. . . women adorn themselves in modest apparel . . .” (1Tim 2:9) Men are to: "Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body." (1Col 6:18)
Don't want to be told what to wear or not wear? Do away with the dress code. We might also say do away with "thou shalt not commit adultery" and "he that fornicates is joined unto a harlot sins against their own body"
We can ignore God's laws and his wishes, but we cannot appeal them nor strike them from the law.
