The Godly Way Women Are To Dress and Look

[annsni]

It is a sign of rebellion in spirit for people to go half way undressed in public wearing shorts, short dresses, no shirts, ect. They do this to draw attention to their bodies if they are young but if they are old and fat they want to scare people.

Shorts is "undressed"?

Shorts is "undressed"?

It is for most teenage & college aged girls. I'm talking about those blue jean hike ups they wear as shorts. My son calls them the butt cups.

Men are not to have long hair, nor women short.

And who, exactally, is to determine what is too long or to short?

I asked a group of parents and youth (back in the 70's) if they would mind undressing to their underwear.

The point being that most "bathing suits" are worn with the same exposure of skin that underwear covers.

So my question became, "why did they spend so much on outer coverings?"

After the initial shock, the group really got into what was modest and why modesty is important. They began to construct a program of principles that generally came to the following conclusions:

Modesty in men was just as important as modesty in women.
Apparel was not to be worn to embellish some physical attribute(s).
Apparel that would be used in a private setting is not always as private as expected.
What is worn is also a form of worship on display.
Men are not as attractive as they might think if they have too much or too little body hair.
Women's desire to appeal to others is a human appetite that needs moderation just as in any other human appetite.
There are two places in which being immodest is appropriate.
​

I don't remember off hand the other ones.

Yeah - I'm not talking about daisy dukes (where you can see the line between the thigh and the cheek) but just regular shorts. It sounds like a wide sweeping brush of "no shorts" in the post that I quoted. I was asking for clarification.

This is the best post on this subject I have ever read, especially "what is worn is also a form of worship on display".

Prude. Show me the verse with that standard.

If the OP expects my wife to dress according to the Old Testament Mosaic Law, then he needs to submit to the Mosaic Law as well.

By what manner ye judge, ye yourself will also be judged.

So tell us, do you wear clothing that is made of mixed materials? No nylon tag sewed into the cotton fabric of your nice dress shirt that you wear for Church? Is the thread that holds your buttons or zipper on your pants made of the same material that the pants are made of? Do you have a railing around your roof? Do you make yearly pilgrimages to Jerusalem to eat your tithes with your family?

If you offend in one point of the Law, you are guilty of all the Law. If you are unable to keep the whole Law, you have no business whatsoever telling others what they should and should not wear.

Physician... heal thyself. First remove the beam from thine own eye, then thou shalt see clearly to remove the mote from thy brother's eye.

This question is to the christian men. If you were married to a young woman that by all standards was a very beautiful woman and had a figure that would surely turn heads but the problem is she went out in public on most occasions wearing clothes or the lack of them that left nothing to the imagination and worldly men turned their heads to get the second look, do you think your wife is justified in such acts as these?

 

[Earth Wind and Fire]

Dress codes are for fat women.

:laugh: AMEN!

Is it Preacher of Truth or is it Preacher of Legalism. Next thing you know he will be starting a thread on "The Ungodly and Mixed Bathing."

.... or open toed shoes & sandals

If the wife wears it in the privacy of just her and her husband, where's the problem?



Daughter I could not condone, but wife, if it's just the husband and wife, what's the big deal?

Most women over 30 years old have no business wearing a two piece swim suit, much less a bikini. By wearing them many women redefine immodesty, and not in a prurient way. My family has vacationed in the Wisconsin Dells for years and let me tell you--well, I'll simply say that America has a problem with obesity.

Dont think they want a over weight guy in a speedo either.

How can Christian men allow their wives and daughters to wear makeup. That is certainly not Godly.

What? Are you serious???

 

[PreacherOfTruth]

I am a man of God. I am going to preach Godliness to you heathens. You can make fun of me and mock me. But I knew you would do that before the the Lord had me come here and preach to you all.Heathens always mock Godliness.

The devil and the evil spirits hate this kind of preaching.
