Sure is not what the true apostles said.   modest clothing etc.   Call me old fashioned, call me as you will, but I like the pattern Christ set and the Apostels set in churches.

ME agree.  

So we should be wearing  robes ?

NO just well covered plain clothes.  for two reasons .   IF I came in a church in a tank top and tight pants.  That tempts.  that is evil. 

Number two , if I spend big money on my clothes , what a waste.   give the extra to the poor.   LET GOD get the glory and recognition.  amen.

OH same applies to ladies too.  not just men.

Maybe its just me.  But it seems this liberal view of today , this liberal freedom and sexuality and whatever, Is not free at all, its bondage of sin.

Well we have the freedom to choice not to wear or buy what ever it is that looks to be  inappropriate clothing. No one is going to force you into a bikini.

Since I think most people of older generations realize that tacky dress habits are predominate in the Big Box store atmosphere, I didn't think I needed to explain the joke.  One has to be careful when tossing around words like "prejudiced."   Do I believe that people should go to the store in something a little less tacky than flannel pajamas, a top that has bra straps hanging out, or pants sagging down to there knees?  Yes, I do.  So if that makes me "prejudice," then color me prejudiced.

That aint prejudiced . that is very good.   you be blessed.

I feel bad for people when I see that. It just seems like they have just given up. I don't even like leaving the house in sweat pants.

True.   but we cant be placing temptation in our brethrens way.   Tempt not.   Ladies should not wear clothes that reveal.   Anymore than I should.

plain clothes that cover are fine.    And before we lie and say we cant be tempted.   WE all can.  SO its just best to dress As we would if JESUS were to appear before us.

I mean We cant see him now,  BUT HE SURE SEES and KNOWS exactly WHY we dress as we dress.   KNOWN unto HIM is all things.

To be honest. Dressing in the way the women is in the cartoon makes you look trashy. Even some people who are non-Christians think that way as well. Such clothes sends a message saying "I am easy and will go with anyone."  There really isn't anything attractive about it. I think  most men really wouldn't want to take that women home to meet their mother. They might want to take her to a cheap motel. But not to meet their mother. LOL! Anyway,  I think modesty is about more then just not tempting someone. Modesty is about what kind of message you are sending to people around you.

I do agree with people making better choices of what they wear. I have seen people with pajamas going to the grocery store and very inappropriate clothing. A sign of the times?

The topic of dress has been done to death, there are dozens and dozens of threads on it already. All they have produced is a heated topic...

That is because everyone is convinced their view of "modesty" is the right one.
