Amen, Brother Jim -- Preach it!

Everyone has the right to follow his/her own views, but I strongly disagree that Jim's views are not Biblical. IMHO, Jim's views are always Biblical and give us cause to learn spiritual truths. It is most important that we respect the wisdom of our learned elders of whom Jim is an excellent example.

I have a gradmother who is unsaved. She is a very nice woman and knows a lot of interesting things. However, when it comes to spiritual advice I do not go to her.

I also know of some older Christian ladies who in my opinion are feminist. I also do not go to these women for counsel regardless of their age.

Same here at the BB. I have read posts from many here and their writing is the only fruit I see. So, I must go by that to decide which men or women are of sound doctrine.

Oh, and one must take every word literally to be scriptural? News to me and millions of other evangelicals. By the way, what is it that I don't tale literal in Genesis? The 24 hour day thing of creation? I am not alone on that one. I think you might be confusing me with someone else on that point.

I don't control the Anglican Church, and they do ordain women ministers. She preaches the word.

I have already said my group will not ordain women in ministry. What would you have me do, not attend church on Sunday? Well, I will worship where I can, thank you very much.

Cheers,

Jim

"people can wear what they please" is biblical? or was that just a hypothetical on jim1999's part?

jim, is there a good non-literal way to take this?

1 Timothy 2:9, "In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel"

is there any type of clothing (or lack thereof) that a christian woman should avoid based on this verse?

I take this literal.
In general women's pants
(or shorts) are more modest than
skirts of the same length.

Coulottes combine the modesty of pants
with the form of skirts. Therefore
coulottes can be worn by spiritual women.

Are Coulottes "Spiritual"?

No, coulottes are inanimate objects.

I get where you are going with this topic Dr. Bob...but the title is the funniest I've seen in a long while.

 

[Pastor Larry]

Since coulottes are made to appear like skirts (some even having flaps to hide the split in the legs), are not those who wear them being dishonest about what they are wearing???? It seems strange to me ... and I grew up in a coulotte wearing church. I didn't wear them personally; they just weren't flattering on me. But it was a funny night the night the youth group went snow skiing and the girls had to wear coulottes. You talk about immodest and uncomfortable. That snow on the inner thigh ain't a good thing. I have always contended that coulottes are nothing but bell bottom shorts.

Seriously, wearing coulottes does not make one spiritual.

 

[Artimaeus]

Coulottes can certainly be worn modestly if worn by a "lady" as Helen emphasied.

Coulottes can be worn immodestly if the wearer so chooses.

It does matter what a woman wears. If she dresses immodestly and men have filthy thoughts she gets some of the blame. If she is dressed modestly and men have filthy thoughts then it is 100% their fault. She cannot control them but she can control herself. This, of course, is also true of men. (We men of course, are filthy pigs at heart anyway)

Well, maybe BEFORE you are born again....

but not now, dear sir. God knows what He is about!

This thread is crackin' me up! I used to have to wear coulottes for gym as part of the dress code, so got used to them.
GLORIFIED SHORTS? Bell bottom shorts? ROFL! Well, in THAT case a skirt is nothing more than glorified coulottes! Coulottes unsewn in the middle. Actually they must be WORSE!
The only option left is a dress, which is simply a bell bottomed tankini with an attached glorified pair of coulottes.
I'm not sure where that leaves us! What shall we wear?

Pastor Larry: "Since coulottes are made to appear like skirts

are not those who wear them being dishonest
about what they are wearing????"

Can you spell "straining at a knat and swollowing
a camel"?

Pastor Larry: "Seriously, wearing coulottes does
not make one spiritual."

This is correct. And wearing dresses does
not make one spiritual.

 

[I Am Blessed 24]

Amen Ed! Preach it brother!

Nothing that we WEAR makes us spiritual. What is in our HEARTS makes us spiritual.

Since coulottes are made to appear like skirts (some even having flaps to hide the split in the legs), are not those who wear them being dishonest about what they are wearing?

No, because believe me when I am in a pair of culottes, there is no doubt about it, therefore, there is no deception or dishonesty.

But it was a funny night the night the youth group went snow skiing and the girls had to wear coulottes. You talk about immodest and uncomfortable. That snow on the inner thigh ain't a good thing.

And you really think a skirt would be more modest??? The snow might get on the thighs, but it certainly doesn't go any higher with culottes on rather than a dress.

Culottes are a necessity when playing sports. Can you see all the young girls with broken legs from tripping over ankle length dresses?

Weren't the women in the Bible told to 'gird up their loins' when they went to glean in the field?
And there you have the beginning of shorts!


I will repeat: Nothing that we WEAR makes us spiritual. What is in our HEARTS makes us spiritual.

David danced in his underwear through the streets, with women leading the procession. Jesus stripped of much of his clothing when he knelt to wash the disciple's feet...

It's NOT what we wear that makes us spiritual or even SHOWS spirituality. It's the heart... as others have well said.

John 13: 3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God, 4 rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself. 5 After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded

Wearing NOTHING makes you unspiritual. What is in our hearts is reflected in what we wear. I would rather be like some on here that have a desire to be modest, than some who want to see how close they can come to being immodest without actually stepping over the line. (The line is somewhere between wearing NOTHING and not exposing one DNA molecule of humanity.)

 

[dianetavegia]

Artimaeus, does that mean I shouldn't pray when I'm in the shower?

Adam and Eve were naked until sin entered in. God was not ashamed of their nakedness.

Genesis 2:25
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

Genesis 3:7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings. 8 And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden

Here's an example of a naked prophet......

1 Samuel 19:18 So David fled and escaped, and went to Samuel at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and stayed in Naioth. 19 Now it was told Saul, saying, "Take note, David is at Naioth in Ramah!" 20 Then Saul sent messengers to take David. And when they saw the group of prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as leader over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied. 21 And when Saul was told, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. Then Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also. 22 Then he also went to Ramah, and came to the great well that is at Sechu. So he asked, and said, "Where are Samuel and David?" And someone said, "Indeed they are at Naioth in Ramah." 23 So he went there to Naioth in Ramah. Then the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on and prophesied until he came to Naioth in Ramah. 24 And he also stripped off his clothes and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore they say, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"
