I just threw up in my mouth a little.

And reverence makes that you can judge others I assume. Okay then.
If you cant grasp that your tight jeans are not okay for a reborn christian woman you certainly will not grasp that certain churches do things a certain way.

I Tim.- I desire…that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control...
Good works. Dressing modestly is 'good works' which stem from the heart of one who is living in Christ.

Gotquestions has an article on this and it opens with the verse you shared: What does it mean to dress modestly?

Written by the same guy who said women should keep their mouths shut, and ask questions of only their husbands. (A little wanting to eat some cake, but keep it, too, going on?)


To this, the article responds: "
Both men and women should bring glory to God in their manner of dress." -- I agree. :)

I've been a pastor's wife and what annoyed me to no end was the double standard. A member cannot say when they are too lazy to pray that the pastor has to pray or walk in whatever clothes and make demands towards the pastor or his wife. Well they can but I don't care lol. Now that I'm just a member I shouldn't care anymore? It's church culture. I went to Canada and a guy preached in jeans. I was so not used to it but it made me think: yeah why not?
First church where I got saved the worship leader who was on fire for God left because they demanded he'd wear a tie. I had to wear a dress. Borrowed one from my mom. Didn't even have one. That's religion. I like those hippy churches better tbh.
My pastor wears jeans, and a suit jacket without a tie except on very special occasions :)

Yes,thank you.You stated it perfectly.
Thank you for agreeing.

I guess I can be a bit OCD sometimes, as my statement was definitely not perfect (I found a typo):

"But, she had not yet blamed you [or] accused you of anything. All she said was: Your picture has no correlation to what she was saying."

Thats your interpretation of the Scriptures. I believe he was talking to that church and those women who were new to the church. Before that he talks about church order. The women were yelling out questions,they were out of order. So they were told to go home and ask their husbands. Later it speaks of women prophesying in the service. So if they were suppose to shut up,why are they allowed to speak then? No wanting of cake here,thanks.

Let's do it (Eph 5:3):

NIV: "But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people."
NKJV: "But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints"

God is concerned with the heart--the inner man, rather than the outward appearance. Right?
You got it exactly right. We, however, want to make it about jeans we don't like......... actually making US the people the verse was talking about.

The OUTER man is the direct result of the INNER man. Dont twist scripture to conform to your lax views

The hypocrisy is so funny. First: it has to be decent lol and then instead of praying for Paula's soul, no post a pic of her butt for everyone, look look don't you think the pants are too tight no wait her butt is too fat and then get those stupid fights. What am I doing here? I should do something useful now.

looks like Paula has herself in a pickle seeins how she has opened herself up to this.
Not sure what you mean here. :confused:
He thinks it is her fault because he doesn't like what she wears.

Interesting how women here would be the first ones to flare up over a rapist using that very same excuse.

(We like verses where we can make them fit our fancy at the moment... but not at other times.)

I think we can do both dont you?
We can pray and also put forth what is wrong in the church at the same time. Maybe you needed to be apart of this thread so that you can renew your heart to not dressing as the world does

Is this thread about a rapist?
Generally when someone cant correctly reason, they throw in a strawman to confuse the focus:eek:

No straw at all. That is exactly what many rapists claim.... "I did it because she dressed the way she did." And we will not accept that lame excuse there, why should we, here? The way we judge the appearance of another (when not a bit of "skin" is tempting anyone) is our problem. but we want to make it hers.

snip But, she had not yet blamed you are accused you of anything. All she said was: Your picture has no correlation to what she was saying.
That is not all she said so your representation is dishonest.

Based on your picture it was natural to assume that is what you were inferring.

There was no natural reason for anyone to assume anything about prostitutes based on the picture I posted. That clearly came from Kayla's mind and yet she blames me for it, saying I inferred it when I had not. If you cannot see this and it is clear you cannot then why do you think you have any right to try to mediate this? You have a habit of misrepresenting me and yourself at the same time and I am not interested in your bloviating and phony apologies after the fact.

In the interest of intellectual honesty I never brought up her attire and it was not the intent of the thread. I did mention that maybe the way she dresses is a symptom of a wretched heart. I would guess she has had plastic surgery but I don't know that for sure. I also mentioned that people like her and hinn who take advantage of people ticks me off because the charlatans did it to my grandparents. And for the record, I don't really care how people dress or if they drink or if they smoke dope or if they go on dates with Pamela Anderson all by themselves incessantly. While you're up there in your high and mighty cloud willie say hi to the archangel flavious for me.

Oh please man. Go worry about yourself. If I wear wide jeans I look like a guy. Since all the stupid threads here I had to buy a longer thing so they cant see the butt I dont have and I cant even buy clothes, got em from a collegue who didnt fit em anymore. Yeah its time to leave. I'll only post in singles from now on.
