fashion and modesty

[Running Gator]

Is anything less than this immodest?   If not, why not?

perhaps true Christians spend more time shopping for clothes  esp. in the summer

since they have to be pickier.

You all have a strange way of deciding who is and who is not a Christian.

True Christian don't care what he wear

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

Personally, the illustration does not offend me. I see it as one that is making a valid point. 

I haven't seen the other, older threads on dressing modestly, but my contribution to this, is to say that I agree, we must dress modestly. I am offended by the fact that so many people today seem to want to wear very little in the public eye. 

Forget going out much at all in the summer, but especially to the water parks, beaches or public swimming pools, places where the mindset seems to be (wearing less) is best. It's vulgar.

I must be weird. I never really notice these things. All I am worried about is if I look fat in my swim suite.

That is a statement of judgment. As you have no way of knowing that all fashion designers are not Christians and are  all unsaved. 

Well agreed. It should be alot are unsaved. but regardless, clothes nowadays are mostly NOT designed with glorifying God but  to  display thr body . But I've seen both men and women will argue that theres no problem with certain things..

I do object to this thread.  Perhaps I am a prude, but I see no good value in drawing a vulgar depiction for the purpose of decrying vulgarity. To me it seems an exercise that could and should be avoided.

Its not vulgar. Theres nothing on display, but people actualy wearing said thing will. My point isto show how certain things are  specifically designed to arouse

What really jarred me once is that i went to the beach with a group of  20-30 something christians and when we were going to swim, the women began peeling of into bikinis and bikini top with short pants bottoms. Its like -WHERES THE DIFFFERENCE???

Maybe we should just stop worry about what other people wear or what it is they say about what they are wearing. You can't expect non-Christians to follow our standers. As long as we ourselves are dressed in a modest manner. Anyway that is how I live my life. I just say "nope, I am not wearing that." Then I move on.

You need to calm down and let God take care of these things. I don't see why what someone else is wearing is such an issue. Just as long as you yourself feel you are dressed in a modest way, that really should be what all of us are concern about. Is our own self. ( I think I said that already, yes I did) Other wise we are going to go insane being all up in arms about the people around us not following our stander of modesty.
