Modesty

Drop the modesty police line and the sarcasm and you've nailed it.

No one is policing you. Do what thou wilt with your Christian liberty but you've received a message and have chosen to mock it...be sure you can justify your mockery scripturally rather than emotionally.

 

Judging our sisters in Christ is not up to you Rufus.
That is God's business.

 

Of course your policing me. You are policing me and every woman and man who has looked at the scriptures and come to a different conclusion than you. And you refuse to see what you are doing and claim you are only delivering a "message". Guess what, we've delivered one to you: The second commandment is to love one another. What you are doing can hardly be described as loving. So who has the greater sin?

I've already said that there is a time when Christians must agree to disagree. This is one of those times.

 

You must mean the gay dictionary definition of love, which is letting me do whatever I want and saying nothing about it. If Rufus1611 believes the bible says something and allows you to do the opposite without saying anything, that is not biblical love.

 

We all feel the love!!!!
Telling a woman she is in rebellion with God because she wears pants is not love... it is an insult, and an unbiblical statement of a man's opinion.

For those that can't keep your hormones under control, get help, but don't blame women for your shortcomings.

Be a man and take responsibility for your thoughts and actions.
In the end only God knows who is in rebellion.
It is His call, not someone else on the internet that knows very little about everyone else.

BTW, I think a woman is more attractive in a nice dress than one dressed immodest.... A woman in a nice dress will catch my eye faster... What do we do about that?

I know...
I'll take responsibility for my sin, and not blame the women wearing the dresses!

 

Amen! :thumbs:

 

James Newman, I'm going to respond to what I think you are saying, but I'll admit to being a tad confused. (it is not just gays who use the meaning of love that you describe)

Rufus and more particularly Gerald presented their beliefs about immodesty. I and several others recieved this belief and disagreed. Now, the loving response to our disagreement should have been something along the lines of "I'll pray for God to show you the light". But what we recieved instead were accusations of being whores and unsaved.

I wonder what our Father think of one of His sons calling his sister a whore?

Thank you, Tim. You were faster than I.

 

Ditto to what MK said !!
(And girls don't forget the pimp here....:smilewinkgrin

Gotta go, talk to you all later

I have only scanned through the thread, but I don't see where anyone called anyone on this board a whore. If calling certain articles of clothing the attire of an harlot is what you are referring to, I don't think you have a case.

 

He didn't call anyone a whore by name, but the implication is definitely there.

 

Read more thoroughly James, dear.

 

I posted this a few days ago on another thread and I think it bears repeating.

 

It is an implication directed at no one personally, save for perhaps the example that Corndoggy provided. There are women in this world and in our churches, who like to dress provocatively and dress in the manner of a strange woman seducing men who are not their husbands. In my view characteristics of this dress include pants, tight t-shirts, cleavage displays, mini-skirts, display of tatoos above the posterial crevice, and other like characteristics which call attention to the flesh. I am in no way policing these actions nor am I calling anyone on this board a whore for I do not know your situations. I have found the best way to address the issue, as a man, is to separate from it. I will abandon threads on this issue for awhile in order to reduce the tension caused by my views.

 

Amy, the Lord does judge the heart, but that does not mean He doesn't care about outward things. Usually outward things are just a reflection of the inward. Dressing in the attire of a harlot may not make you a harlot, but it does mean you are wearing a harlot's uniform.

 

a mesage from you, not God, big difference there if you haven't noticed.

 

see, theres the problem, he just beleive it, it isn't necessarily biblical. women with short hair, make up and pants are whore with wicked bodies.
please

 

great post Tim

my husbands thoughts exactly.

 

If there is nothing wrong with looking at bodies, why does God require them to be covered?

 

the outward reflects the inward, humm wonder what it reflects the way women have been treated on this thread? seems some men have some inward problems they need to deal with.
