Without going back and reading a bunch of useless junk, I'm going to say one last thing before I leave this post, hopefully for good.
I, not one time, told anyone how to dress, how much makeup to wear, how long their hair needed to be, on this thread.
I said that according to the bible, man nor woman, is to tempt their brother. To put a stumbling block in front of them.
Some of us are weaker in certain areas. That's how God made us. That's why Paul said we all have different gifts. He probably really meant handicaps, but either way.......
All I get, from the replies that I have read, is people that are trying to justify there fleshly behavior. Trying to place blame for a mans lust on him and not a woman that dresses to attract him. Yes, the man is at fault if he succumbs. That's why Joseph ran and left his coat when a woman tried to seduce him.
But God told you not to be the one to make him fall.
I condemn walking in the flesh. Why? Because, as the scripture I posted earlier notes, you cannot please God while walking in the flesh.
I'm not trying to keep you from making me fall - I know how to avoid that. I'm 60 years old and this ain't my first rodeo. I'm trying to tell you how not to be one of those people that God tells on that day "depart from me,ye workers of iniquity".
Yet I get personal attacks. I exhort people to read their bible. Maybe I should be exhorting people to live by what they have read.
I have gone to church needing to shave. Why? Because I simply rarely look in the mirror.
How often do you look in the mirror, and what reason is there when you do? I sleep well. You and you alone are responsible for your salvation. Come to grips with it in your own mind.
And, just because, I also want to add that I rarely read private messages. I haven't read any in several days. I usually don't unless I am continuing a conservation started here, for what its worth.
