How Is A Christian Lady Supposed to Dress?

[Openly Curious]

For the life of me I can't figure how that thought of yours just popped out of no where. No God would not be pleased and thus would not hear our prayers it goes without saying anything further.

 

It's how I roll.

Gotcha it your way of doing the twist.

[Openly Curious]

God's word can be so clear when you can see the "life" in it, as compared to only seeing the "words". I don't say that condescendingly. I say that because the difference in the two is like the difference between understanding and confusion.

 

There was ONE poster here that hit the subject matter on the head, and no one even noticed. The answer to the original question is a very simple one, but not readily recognized because no Christian church I am aware of practices such things.

 

Would you all want the answer plainly put? Would it make a difference? Would anyone re-institute it's practice if pointed out? Just wondering. I'm curious.

If God would enlighten the eyes of our understanding it would make all the difference in the world to me divine truth is truth shown to us by God's Spirit who leads and guides us into all truth. I believe I would allow and act on the practice and accept it if it was truth without a doubt.

That is one outstanding answer... a breath of fresh air. And your wording is so.... appropriate. Thank you, OC...

 

Anyone else?

HAHAHAHAHAHA... Jesus was probably told the same thing. I wonder why He was so fond of having people "work" for the answers they realized concerning His parables?

You are not Jesus. You are just a regular person. So speak in regular ways not in riddles.

Okay. Joshing aside... let's go with what we think is appropriate attire for Christian ladies... at Church... then at a social gathering / picnic... out on a date... you get the idea. 

 

I am more interested in what the ladies think than the guys. Because we tend to ward off our particular weaknesses... "not too much leg showing..." or "no cleavage" (front or back)... 

Oh...but Mr.JohnD I am more interested in what you think is appropriate attire of Christian ladies.Not just at Church but everywhere she goes in public  

 

 

Uh uh uh... you first. I asked the question of the ladies.

 

We guys can lust over an out of shape over weight moo moo wearing blow up doll. So, our varied opinions really do not matter as much as yours do. 

 

If I were to venture my best guess, I guess what I would deem appropriate (though not practical) is what every moral father would approve of his little girl wearing in public.

 

I can give you lots and lots of scripture that would make any woman showing anything above the ankle or below the chin out to be a whore. But I have already made the point that this was the Law not Grace. The ideal and the minimum requirement for that portion of the Law if you were going to try to save yourself from God's wrath. That sort of thing. But this is the real (fallen) world, and we are fallen people saved only by Grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ who paid for all human sin (specially those who believe). 1 Timothy 4:10 1 John 2:2.

 Okay, the thing is is that everyone has different standers for what is and is a not appropriate. Some will say women should only wear dresses. Others will say no shorts. I once even heard that a women should not wear anything red. Dress above the knee or below the knee ect ect. Which is why I say one should follow what they feel in their hearts to be right.  There are always going to be people who  judge you no matter what. But if you know your heart is right with God then that is all that matters.

 

 

Admittedly too there are some women who can show just a few inches of skin and draw more attention than other women who are nearly naked. Better bodies? Better presentation? More attention to what showcases them best? Who knows... ?

 

Among these considerations, should a woman have her fellow man (fellow male believers) in mind at all with regard to how "dead" she gonna "knock 'em?"

 

In public?

 

In worship service?

 

The Bible was written in part due to the fact that how our heart is... is actually pretty rotten, fickle, far too self forgiving, and far too judgmental of others.

Women only wearing dresses is pretty legalistic.Like the Amish.What is wrong with shorts as long as they are an appropriate length?Yes,if you know that your heart is right then you will not wear immodest clothing.

 

 

Again with the self check on the heart...

 

far too forgiving to self

 

far too judgmental of others...

 

so can we REALLY trust our heart like you two suggest?
