Modest apparel

[Khristeeanos]

Women should be aware that many men struggle with lust and for them to dress with tight or few clothes could be a very large stumbling block for the guys.

Most of us are familiar with...

Luke 6:45  A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

As Believers to a certain extent we have to think about what we wear and why we wear it..this particularly applies to woman because of the nature of the sexes.

All things are lawful/allowable...but not all things are expedient.

This does not mean women should be dowdy or frumpy at all...but it means they need to be a little bit sensitive as to what is provocative and understand that the fashion world and current trends in clothing amongst friends do not subject themselves to godly discipline.

Still need to watch yerself, bro. You know?

I'm single, too, still. And if I ever do start "dating" a guy and I catch his eyes wandering. . . .

Getting back on topic, thoug -

Let's turn things around a bit.

This goes more for the younger guys than the older guys - but this fashion trend of exposing the underwear is uncooth as well.

Hi David. (quick aside...No we haven't met.)

You should worry about bikinis...many of the women here in Europe go around topless on the beaches!

Women should beable to wear what ever they want as long as they don't look like a prostitute or like a stripper.

I was not saying a person ( man or woman ) can not be fashonalbe.... on the contrary....

what I am saying ( men and women ) need to cover up....

many fellowships have a custom of praying on the knees, many have alter calls, many have kneeling time.... and during these times, peoples heads are not 4 - 7 feet off the ground, but can be as low as just a couple inches from the floor up to maybe three feet up during a erect kneeling......

I have left a fellowship because of the dress of the ladies, including the preachers wife.... I was kneeling at the alter, not face in the carpet either, but kneeling erect praising and praying...... I opened my eyes and whooooops..... they slammed shut again, for i seen what i did not want to see standing in front of me, and she was not there when i went to the alters.....

I am not impressed by how many belly button rings a young lady has, or how hard she has to pull at her skirt to keep from showing off her skivies... I sit in the very front row so I have less of a chance of seeing things as this, for that brings on the temptation....

it is not the temptation that is sinful, but the action on the temptation ( including dwelling on what one saw or heard and such ).... I am married, and my wife does not like it either... she has the 5th and 6th grade class and is trying to teach these young ladies how to dress properly, not to be an ol' prude or look like they are amish or meninite, but to dress to cover and still be classy ( actually, a lady is more classy by being covered apropriately )....

i am not takling long sleeves and floor length dresses and bonnets, just talking about where the exposed skin is..... The Bible does talk about how a person dresses... and it is not saying a person can not wear jeans, slacks, and such, just talking about being modest.....

if you have a daughter, would you want her dressing to provoke, or intice the males? if you have a son, would you want him to walk around with his back side hanging out? for all the world to see if he is hygenically clean or if he is wearing boxers or briefs?

come on, just dress to cover.....
