There is another thread on the forums that is "Reminding" Christian men to act like Christian men. Now I will demonstrate the unnecessary need for the thread to which I have pointed. This is my response.

This would be unnecessary, if all men and women were all at the same level of knowledge and experience in their walk. But they aren't. We get many newer Christians who don't know these things. So do we go around assuming that men and women should already know things, so therefore never have to broach the subject? And why stop there? As Christians shouldn't we all know all the bible has to say? So we don't need pastors or teachers.

Just because you know something doesn't mean you are acting on it or that it's something you haven't let slipped your mind. Many times here i see people read threads or posts on some basic things and though they already knew it, they benefit from it still because it brought something back to them they had been neglecting.

This thread is just a reminder and does not "blame" women for anything as a gender group, while the other thread clearly does. The other thread is divisive and unnecessary.

Modesty has changed from generation to generation. Showing an ankle/ leg was enough to condemn a woman back in the day. Peep shows were quite tame in comparison :) Then there are women in 3rd world countries that don't cover up their chests at all and that's just the way things are. It's all so subjective.

Subjective? I wish you read Desmond Morris books ("Naked man", for example).

Allow me write briefly:

I met a man who told me this story of one of the men he knew. This one he told was one rich. This rich man met a young and nice looking lady and, soon after, she took that rich man her home.

That men saw in there she was a needy person. I´m not quite sure she knew he was rich but, after that visit, that rich man felt moved to say her: "I plan to buy you a cook, a freezer... and all that stuff you need your home." She heard sorprised and -VERY SUBJECTIVELY- said: "Why don´t you give me that money, instead? I´d rather like my "chest" operated..."

Now you know that rich man hid and run from a subjective woman like this and, as I have shared with my friends:

1) If she got herself ALL OPERATED by a doctor, who is loving her the way she was?
2) If the rich man had given her that money he wnated to spend for love (or lust), how long could that relationship last without being unselfish?

Here in Venezuela, as you know for international beauty countests, most people I see are showing everything they "have in store"... That makes any man to be very attentive but, being that way (in a lust competition) would make me to decline for those my eyes like, BECAUSE I CANNOT SEE THEIR HEARTS, but their "chest", as you modesly said.

Exactly. Thank you for elucidating my point on how provocative and divisive the other thread was.

Agreed. I never suggested that "plain Jane" was the rule. I posted this thread to illustrate a point on how divisive things can become when men and women are pitted against one another. It's not Godly behavior.

Correction: The "World's" definition of modesty changes with the changing of the wind's direction. God, and His dictates are unchanging. This is NOT a "Culture" or "Time Period" matter. Cultural and period "Relevance" are tools of the enemy.

My post had absolutely nothing to do with "the other thread." Having been an active participant on this forum for quite a long time now, I have seen MANY threads about modesty come and go. THAT was the point I was making. If you read something else into it that I didn't intend, that's YOUR interpretation.

As far as that other thread goes, if you think THAT thread is provocative or divisive, then you really need to batten down your hatches, because NONE of the interaction in that thread even comes close to some of the stuff that goes down here. That was barely a hiccup. If that's all it took to set you off, you're in for a real treat when people REALLY start saying mean things to each other. In Christian love, of course. 9_9

My hatches are secure and I'm in no way "Set off" (as YOU have perceived). I was honestly hoping that I'd find more wholesome consideration of others on THIS forum. Heck, even the atheist forum I used to visit rarely went for the gender bias' that I've seen here.

I agree 100% about modesty and that a woman shouldn't be seductive. The bible spoke about those who seduce others and how bad this sin is. But I wasn't sure, is this clip suggesting that we cover our heads as well? Some stuff she said is a bit extreme. I mean there's no way I would agree with those who believe women should cover their heads and dress in long sleeves all the time. This won't be modesty, this would be extreme.

SanPedro, I'm not trying to argue with you, but I don't think i was her intent in the other thread to cause a rift between genders. I'm sorry you see it that way.

God Bless you.

I too am certain it was not her intention, but that is not how it was perceived by MANY members. We are not only responsible for our intentions, we are equally responsible for other's perceptions of our intent, and, if our intent is misperceived, then we have a responsibility to make a clarification.

I know it is not your intent to objectify the woman in the video. Is it? She is "Gorgious" to God as she is! Can you see it now???
The other thread encourages men to correct one another when we have objectified women, so there you go friend.
