Bible Modesty - Part 1

[Bro Tony]

Will wearing pants cause little girls to become lesbians?

Yes, Amy didn't you know it works in the same way as if you let boys and girls swim in the same pool someone could end up being with an illegitamate child.

Bro Tony

 

[James_Newman]

Well, then how do you explain those who are skirts/dresses only becoming homosexuals? How about the Amish? I know that there are those who have left the Amish who are gay - maybe it was those sexy stockings!

Since there was homosexuality before women wore pants, I don't think that's a valid argument.

I never said that there were no homosexuals before, I just think you ought not invite them over to entertain your children and let your children dress like them. Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child, why encourage it?

 

[Rufus_1611]

It is hard to keep up with these guys. Is it that the women want to dress provocatively so they wear pants that show their "delicate thighs", or is it that women want to cross dress so they look like men and become gender benders? Could someone bring some explanation to us. And those who call women who wear pants a sin, it is incombant on you to provide CLEAR biblical instruction on this matter. Your preferences or narrow-minded legalism don't count.

Bro Tony

What? It can't be more than one reason? Is it alright for Christian men to wear dresses brother Tony?

 

[PastorSBC1303]

Some of the reasoning in this thread is ridiculous.

Why I bet homosexuals even use the internet and computers too, you better run away from yours quickly

It's all funny until its your own life that is affected, your own family.

You have a problem with men wearing kilts? What I find crazy is that you automatically assume that pants = masculine clothes. I would have trouble with a man who always wore women's slacks as much as I would one wearing women's dresses.

Bro Tony

 

[Amy.G]

I don't think it is the actual contact with the trousers. It is probably due more to having parents that put the pants on them.

You mean it's the parent's fault a child is gay because they put pants on her?
Huh?

It has to do with neither. It has to do with the fact the person lives in sin, and is not a Christian.

It was never an issue before some enlightened soul invented "women's slacks".

There is nothing funny about flawed thinking when it comes to Christianity.

 

[James_Newman]

Christians live in sin all day long, and as we have found out recently even pastors struggle with homosexuality. If you think being a Christian is going to keep sodomy out of your home, you are mistaken. Being a Christian that follows the bible may be of some help.

Not in my home, baloney.

I'd still like to know who wore pants in the OT? Maybe it was Moses. Pants would have been better suited for mountain climbing.

Daniel 3:21
21 Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.

No Bro James it is not funny at all. Neither is it wise to makes associations where they don't exist. The lost world looks and shakes their heads when they hear someone say "if you let your daughters wear pants, they are likely to become lesbians..." It is not funny that we have people in the homosexual lifestyle, it is not funny that we have so many young people with illegitamate children. And it is definately sad that the church is not dealing with the heart problem, like Jesus did, but rather has decided to act like the pharisee and put alot of legalistic requirements on people supposing that these rules will keep someone right with God. God changes the heart and from that people walk in His way, that is how it works. We need to follow Him not some man-made narrow mis-interpretation of His Word.

Bro Tony

 

[J. Jump]

Actually, your statement reflects distorted Christendom.

Not hardly. There aren't many Christians that think like I do. At least that I'm aware of.

Being Holy as God is Holy is not following a set of rules, as you seem to imply, on your own ideas and power. That is legalistic. Being Holy as God is Holy is following the Holy Spirit in ones life, and faith in Christ. If you want to say it is legalistic to say " if you love Me, you will obey My commandments," go right ahead.

You contradict yourself in your own post. You say being holy as God is Holy is not following a set of rules and then you quote Scripture that says if you love Me you will follow My rules.

I don't say following the rules is legalistic. That is what you have said and then you try to say that it's not. Someone needs to make up their mind Is following the rules legalistic or not?

Now granted if someone is making up their own set of rules then that is legalistic, but that's not what I'm talking about. Following God's guidelines is what we are supposed to do and there are consequences for those that do and there are consequences for those that don't.

All Christians have the same Holy Spirit guiding them.

If they allow Him to.

Those following the Spirit will dress appropriately, and do not need mini lectures from legalists or deep dark depression about how bad things are today compared to the 1950s in relation to God's purpose.

True, but what about those "saved" teenagers that are dressing immodestly when going to church? Is one just supposed to set idly by without making mention of anything and let them continue to dress the way they do? What about the parents? Is one just supposed to sit idly by and not say anything to the parent for letting their kids dress that way. Or what about the parent that is dressing that way?

Just becuase one is saved doesn't mean they will dress the right way automatically!

 

[Bro Tony]

It was never an issue before some enlightened soul invented "women's slacks".

It still isn't a problem except for those who have created a problem with women wearing slacks that were made for women.

Bro Tony

 

[J. Jump]

sad that the church is not dealing with the heart problem

That's because the church doesn't see there is a heart problem.

Bro Tony

Who cares what the lost world thinks? Letting your daughters dress like the lost world is a heart problem. You ought to care more about your children than the lost world cares about theirs.
