We are to be modest.  

I think modesty is in the eye of the beholder.

Do you believe the Bible is God's Word?  

Why are you asking me that?

I think what LK Is trying to do is lighten the mood. So we all don't get banned and given warning points for debating the person and not the subject. I have no problem with her jokes.

These debates over Christians principles of morality and appropriate behavior remind me of those times.

I'm not picking on anyone. I am just giving my thoughts and views on the topic. Yeah I use humor sometimes but that is only because I think we are to laugh at ourselves sometimes. 

I really don't know how I am suppose to be on this forum anymore. Expressing my thoughts offend people, my jokes offend people. I don't know you all just need to take me as I am or put me on ignore I guess. I don't know.

Even OL made a joke about seeing RG in a burka. We are all of the same family in Christ if someone makes a joke and you don't like it just pass over it and get back to the topic at hand and instead of calling someone out for the joke and questioning their biblical principles,ect ect. Just my opinion

1 Timothy 2:9-10  In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;10 but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.

1 Peter 3:3-4  Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

The word modest in the greek is: kosmios which means well arranged,orderly or decorous.

The word for shamedfacedness in the greek is: aidōs which means honour,reverence, regard for others or respect.

Reverence in the dictionary means: Deep respect for someone or something.

So basically in the above verses in my opinion it's saying to dress orderly or well arranged because The Father see's everything you do. So really your not dressing for the honor or respect of men but out of honor and respect for God,Imo.. I specially think Paul is speaking of what to women should where to church. Of course we should also know what to wear through out the day that would be appropriate.

Because if you do then how can we ignore it's instruction on modesty?

I do not think that I have been ignoring the Bible's instruction on modesty. I only wish to point out that we all differ on what we consider to be modesty.
