I think it's important to not wear anything that can cause brothers to stumble, albeit at a beach, pool, or just in general. Having said that, is it immodest for guys to be shirtless at a beach or pool, or wearing sleeveless/tight shirts while working out? I feel those could cause women to stumble.

Whoa......
I almost busted out laughing.......then I thought, how sad.
Just google muslim women swimming or muslim womens bathing suits,

Yeah...Looks uncomfortable, this is when having a pool in your back yard and living rurally (away from prying eyes) would do wonders for a muslim in that dilema

Well...maybe...what do I know.

All I know is that I would "hot" in a burka at a beach
because I would look so utterly "uncool" in a bathing suit even if it was a full piece
(ridiculous is more like it) cause my bathing suit days are long over
I take showers (with the door locked) and try to avoid all mirrors

I am wondering what you think about this I know many Christian women wear them.
If what you are wearing, you think may cause someone to lust, it is immodest. Wear such things as to not cause others to lust and stumble. This includes all, men and women.

Whoa! The wrong one is wearing the burka!
Another reason for women to keep their clothes on. Want me to look? I will, sometimes, and I will criticize if I don't like what I see. Whoa! That's not okay? I am only allowed to look if I compliment?

Do you see where I'm going here? Does anyone else see the inherent flaw in inviting people to look? It's your body, keep it to yourself.

this doesn't mean that Amish are automatically , nor all, Godly. but they sure put to shame by comparison, even the UNgodly Amish(if there is such, or perhaps should say; the worst Amish put to shame), most all the other churches.


Jeff,

Thank u so much for sharing this You tube video..it was refreshing to c pure godly innocence in a world of such selfishness. People who are not afraid to live for God even though they could be shunned by their church for standing up for God to defend His truth before the eyes of the world.

The young girl in that photo is actually clothed Phil (although she is not wearing a burka, like her mother most likely) the reason that might be is she has probably not hit puberty yet. She is either a young girl or is way under developed as a woman (or just plain unlucky as a woman lol ) whichever works for you.

I do believe she is a young muslim girl who just hasnt hit puberty yet because they dont have to wear a burka till then from what I understand.

Take a closer look at her again though because the young girl next to the woman in the burka is clothed. Not only does she have a bathing suit on (it would be a one piece in a muslim family) even though it would be hard to tell for sure because she has a shirt overtop her bathing suit anyway, just a tank top but a top no less.

I will say, I do have that in respect, their modesty.

Its like they see a line and walk ten paces behind it, whereas in our circles folks are like where is the line and is five paces over it too much? LOL

It just seems that way.

in a few places,

you can , god willing, find and see and watch vessels for god's glory, covered neck to ankle properly.

the vessels are filled with purity, uncontaminated with cyanide or pollution.

in

the

untied states, you can see polluted, foul, disgusting vessels everywhere, even in chruch(es),

and in society, the deprivation is overwhelming and considered normal lll yes: sin is normal in society.

it is apparently (and obviously) considered normal to many posters.

they have grown up being taught that deprivation is normal. (all they see all their life is foul vessels,

so they think it's normal, even in any chruch they've been in).

the world is failed. the evil are continuing to be evil. the righteous continue to be righteous. some cross over
from
evil to righteousness before they die. some righteous become evil before they die (see in BIBLE).

when someone parades naked in front of others, knowingly or not, they are carnal. (see corinthians)

only yahweh knows if that carnal one will ever see heaven. (only the pure in heart, remember?)

the carnal will not accept the truth, unless yahweh grants them mercy.

yahweh PUNISHED ISRAEL, HIS OWN PEOPLE

.................................. AND

........................
yahweh PUNISHED THE WOMEN FOR SALE WHO TEMPTED THEM....

the woman who flirted with them to get them to sin.

yahweh will not let sin go without dealing with it. he has patience, up to a point. yahweh knows.

p.s. women hurt themselves, if they indulge the flesh - it DOES NOT HELP THEIR SELF ESTEEM or any other aspect of themselves.....

p.p.s. same for men. . . . . . . .

. . . . . . men and women who are pure vessels of yahweh in yahshua

....................................................... never flaunt their body.

he who belongs to yahweh purifies himself, as yahweh is pure. (BIBLE - look up)

You are stating you are powerless over things and that is so against the Bible it is not even funny. I know full well people are different and I also know that most self professing Christians are lazy when it comes to walking in the victory Jesus won for them. Including lust and perverse spirits

According to your view I should have never overcome being a drunk, but with God's help I overcame booze. I was an alcoholic and it had control over me and.

I know for a fact and have seen people overcome things, including lust. If you cannot control the lust you avhe take it up with God, but don't take the easy road and say you are powerless over it because a women wore a see through top.
Where did I say that? Copy and paste. Where did I say that? An alcoholic? You have a disease? A disease that makes you reach out, pick up a drink, and put it to your lips? That is a choice.
Why do you think Jacob ran and left his garment in that woman's hands that wanted to seduce him? We have to get away from temptation, not rub against it and see if we can reject it. Don't be stupid.
When a pretty woman reveals herself to me I can resist, to a point, just like I do with the alcohol that almost killed me.
Being an auto repair shop owner, I can't tell customers what to wear when they come in. As a believer I can endorse "never put a stumbling block in front of your brother" all day long.

If you think that you can rub elbows with sin, embrace temptation, never fail because God is on your side, you are in deep doo, friend. God said stay away from that garbage, not to test His willingness to bail you out.

I Googled 'bikini' and found something called a 'peek-a-boo string bikini'. that went well beyond immodest; but it did NOT cause me to want to be unfaithful to my wife. My wife would NEVER wear anything like that; nor would I want her to.

Why do you tempt God? Did you "google" that because He would have wanted you to? Astounding..................

Why did God create beaches ? Are women to bath in dresses ?


Nope, only ur toes were to bath in the waters on the beaches..unless u are suppose to wear sock on ur feet while ur toes swim. Just saying.

Elect,

God said He has given humanity high standards but we have come up with our own low inventions...so nope women are not suppose to wear bikinis...There is a way that seems right to a man, but the end there of are the ways of death. Proverbs 14:12. Why go to man? Ask God, He will tell u through His word...God said He regretted making man. Genesis 6:6...This is why there was a flood because every imagination of man's heart was evil continually.

If I wore a bikini I'd need the top to be a 34 long, those babies would be painful every time they hit my knee and a 16-fold Rand-McNally map wouldn't cover my bottom. My cellulite would make excellent pill holders., but don't use it for white pills. You may never find it again. "Immodest" isn't the thought going thorough guy' minds while they're jabbing their eyeballs out.
