Why do when people do things ,we willfully ignore the point trying to be made and instead the tiny little often  opinionated "imprefections

Well in my own case  the point is not ignored it is refuted!

No, I guess they don't have "topless" women in his church, ...however, if her "top" is so tight that we can see the indentation of her spinal cord, ..I "don't" want to imagine what the front must look like.....

Judging hypocritically. The Bible does not tell us we can not judge. We are just not to do it hypocritically. Judge someone and then go to the same thing yourself.

Absolutely not.  Should a man wear a dress to church?  Everyone should be modest.

   I don't understand how a women in pants is not modest. I am wearing pants right now. Nothing is showing. Maybe you could explain how a women in pants is not being modest.

I'm sorry to the OP as I know this was not what this thread is about. But I do have this question to ask since it came up.

Judging by all of this. My guess would be that the verse Luke 6:42 would be lost on this person.  Why I think it is because not only are they partying with wild girls and getting drunk. They are also being unkind and judgmental towards another Christian.   The man in this photo would just justifie what he is doing even if you pointed out to him what Luke 6:42 says.  I guess what I am trying to say is that the man in the photo is not a Christian to begin with. They are just someone who attends church and most likely a bit of a snob about it. Church makes them look good so that is why they go.  Showing them Luke 6:24 they would just came back at you with a lot of "yeah buts......"  They have no light in them to start with so that is how it would be.   Anyway, that is my take on things.

Sure why not, well a skirt or kilt anyway. The Assemblies churches ( American Samoan) membership at Compton, Ca. will have many if not all the tribesmen wearing skirts and sandals.  There is nothing more fun at a church than a battle of the various community choirs doing multipart harmony in island dress.

Why Even I had to don a grass skirt for a skit at a restaurant/playhouse musical skit. Didn't seem to have any long term adverse affect! The sales staff  I was entertaining as reward for their three month sales record loved it.  I learned too, -It is difficult to keep up with a line of Tahitian dancers.

The pants are masculine, therefore sinful.  I was adding modest because the woman in the picture looked topless.

Thank you.Pretty much  hit the nail on the  head. But often it can be Christians who have backslidden and haven't yet realised it. So they feel justified on blasting someone who doesn't follow their cultural  standards while they themselves  don't follow godly standards

I think all men and women today are sinning because they went away from Biblical dress ....we all should be wearing robes! That is strictly Biblical.

This is how utterly ridiculous religion is ...man's made up rules. And most of them only apply to women. (sigh)

It applies to men who wear feminine clothes too.

Thank you for answering my question. And while I do not wish to argue I feel the need to point out that pants are only masculine if you buy them from the "mens department" of the store. "women pants" sold in the "womens department" are cut and fit for women. Men pants do not fit right on a women.  It seems only men bring this up I guess because they must think that pants are pants and all the same. But they are not.  I could not wear a pair of my husband's pants anymore then he could wear a pair of mine. They wouldn't fit right men pants are longer and  wider than women’s pants. Women pants are  shorter and narrower.  Women pants are made for women and not men. Therefor women pants are consider women's clothing.  

 again I know but there seem to be many topics in this thread.
