Modest Swim
- Thread starter John3v36
- Start date
I saw another site a while back with some modest apparel on them but they looked horrendous period...very brightly colored. If I were swimming with other women I would stick with some boy shorts and a top. However, I'm just like Diane (small waist, curvy hips, etc) and those swim suits would still draw attention if in the presence of a man. But I'll give the site a
for recognizing that most swim suits are not modest and offering their product.
[/QUOTE]Swimming is probably one of the best ways to get a good cardiovascular workout. There is nothing wrong with swimming, so I am curious as to why you think that you had a weakness in this area of your life. I am not being judgmental in any way. I simply was curious as to your rationale.
[/QB][/QUOTE]
I don't think of you as judging me at all. I can see where my statement was very confusing. What I meant to say is that I have a weakness to water. I love to swim, ski, ride tubes etc... so when I felt the Lord dealing with me on dress I was still wearing swimsuits and deep down wondering why I felt like I needed to dress right all the other times but when I swim I can take it all off(so to speak) Then I got hold of a great book called what in the world should I wear and this lady says; some women would not be caught in there under garments in front of people but they will put a swimsuit on and think everything is okay. Well lets just say that was a real eye opener to me.

John3v36, you quoted…
Deuteronomy 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman‘s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God
Just 6 verses down….
Deuteronomy 22:11 Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together.
Better check the label and make sure its not a blended fabric also.

Nice looking suits. Modest by today's standards. Obscene 100 years ago.
Here's another website that's even more modest!

Well, I am wearing 100% cotton; however, it fails to comply with Verse 12.
Not only that, when I went up on my roof to cast this offensive clothing to the wind, I fell off my own roof because I did not adhere to Verse 8.

Good: I wanted to make sure that you did not take it that way. You have always been very gracious and do a great job of presenting your convictions.
I share your addiction.
This is where you and I would have to disagree. HOWEVER, since you feel as though God was convicting you in this area, then that is the end of the disagreement. If you really feel this way, then you are doing the right thing in your life.

note what the second verse DOESN'T say. i'm not interested in being an abomination to the lord my god, as ALL who do so are.

What? Who on the list is cross dressing? The first verse quoted has nothing to do with modest swimwear.
Just an addendum:
I hope we all know that we are not under the Law but walk by faith "The Just shall live by faith" We are supposed to be led of the Spirit and if we are, the assumption on the part of the Scripture is that we will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.

Hank - good reminder. We are NOT under the Law.
If those legalists who take Deut 22:5 and chain it to me (even tho I'm not a transvestite, which is what it is talking about) want to believe it, that is their privilege.
But they had better be consistent and follow every other law in Deuteronomy. A laugh, of course.
Odd hermeneutic. "Pick and choose. Pick and choose."

By this reasoning, its ok to break the Law of God by wearing mixed fabric as long as it's not an abomination to God?
If you break one point of the Law you break it all no matter if it makes you an abomination or not.
HankD </font>[/QUOTE]in general these commands are for the jews, but concerning crossdressing we know it applies to gentiles as well because of the extra info in the text. some other parts of leviticus apply for the same reason.

should we toss scripture as a guide to what god expects from us, then?

dr. bob, either you believe what the bible says here, or you don't.Originally posted by Dr. Bob Griffin:

The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
so choose, i recommend taking the bible at face value.
btw, the bit about being only about transvestites is not in the text, but is a popular addition allowing this bit of scripture to be ignored. it's similar to claiming "thou shalt not kill" only applies to those who kill for enjoyment. ridiculous.

Again, please explain how this is justification for modest swimwear.
Additionally, since we have all been deceived by what you deem to be a popular addition, perhaps you could shed light on what the true meaning is. Every preacher I know says that this Passage refers to cross dressing. In fact, I once asked a rabbi if this was the case, and he concurred.
