It's not that men and women cannot eat together, but there are certain scenarios where it is way better for there to be third party in the room, or at the table to prevent rumors from even getting started. Just stop it before it starts. What is unreasonable about taking measures not to fuel the rumor/gossip mill? Shiloh I have a feeling I've missed something? I keep hearing about this "other thread"so it seems this discussion is a take off from another one that I'm not aware of.......I understand RG's point and personally I don't see anything wrong with his "scenarios" and I agree with the above as well.......So,I'm not sure with the "scenario"this is really all about,am I correct that there is some "point" to all of this? As Christians we must abstain from the appearance of evil,this should be "common sense" imo......I'm a married woman & as I said earlier that if I was asked to join a Brother-in-Christ to lunch to discuss something in particular where his wife or my husband could not also be there I imagine it would be okay and I think it also would make a huge difference "where" that was.....for example,a Dennys,McDonalds or diner for morning breakfast or early afternoon lunch sounds reasonable but if that same Brother invited me to 8pm dinner at a quiet ,low lit restaurant where many "couple" go for the ambiance....hmmm,NO.....why?Would not "appear" respectable imo I believe you have to use good judgement & personally I would not want to disrespect my husband in such a way,he would be the last person to question ME,he trust me completely but why would I want to give anyone anything to talk about that would "appear" as though I was not a respectable wife.....I think the old timers would say its a "disgrace" or you bring "shame" to the spouse......is it my old country(Italy) upbringing,Christianity ,Godliness.......I think its just common sense & decency Now if you are at work & everyone gets to go to lunch at 12 & it ends up that you eating next door at Joes Diner with a co-worker of the opposite sex I don't see the big deal in that either,I doubt any rumors would spread by half an hour eating a sandwich with the boss or something like that...... I would like to add that the kind of marriage a person has is not the issue at all & many people keep saying that,its a matter of respecting & honoring your spouse ....thats what the "appearance" of evil means......they can be proud of the way they KNOW you will conduct yourself because you would not give anyone anything to start a rumor about "out of respect" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many Adolf's and Benedict's do you know that are alive today? The only reason Calvin exists today is because people do not know the truth about how evil he was! I am sorry, but that is sort of ridiculous. There was a guy named Jeff the liked to kill people and eat them, so by this standard of yours, Jeff is an evil name.
