However they are starting to come around lately. basicly its not the 1800s anymore. If the amish dress that way to honor God thats wonderful. I dont think thats how i will dress though. I dont think the amish are unbiblical, perhaps set in their ways, and I mean no offense to any amish folk out there. But its true. this is spot on....Good weighs the heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps their sense of modesty is the biblical example and all of us are failing to follow it. If the Amish look at you and judge you to be immodest, are they wrong? Can you, or anyone tell me why not dress like the Amish is the goal is biblical modesty? Are the Amish unbiblical? Well the Amish don't just dress for modesty. They dress to not show pride. Bright colors and all of that is prideful to them. But I guess that is for another topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Amish have a near cult mentality. I would not hold them up as an example for anything biblical. Please explain to me how their modesty standard is unbiblical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apples and oranges. The village I was helping dig wells had a church and was majority Christian. That is why we were there, to help the church that had been planted by another team 9 year before us.

" seems like it is just a subtle way attacking this instruction& the Biblical modesty and for what purpose? blur the lines? I don't think that is the way the Holy Spirit regards it or it would not have been given to us. "Hath God said...?" (Gen. 3:1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
