The Bible forbids the wearing cotton mixed with polyester.
What on earth are you talking about? Leviticus 19:19 reads "...neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woolen come upon thee." Linen - not cotton, or polyester, and wool, not cotton, or polyester.
It depends what translation you are reading, doesn't it? The American Standard Version has neither shall there come upon thee a garment of two kinds of stuff mingled together. and the New International Version has Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material.

Clearly, different translations will have differnt types of cloth mentioned, however, I think we can all be sure that polyester is not one of them!!!
and God willing, will be for a very long time
