Of course, the thing that irritates me the most about this thread, quite simply, is that a man is throwing Scripture in the face of every woman here. Without knowing how any of us dress, how we are in our marriages, in our churches or jobs, families, etc.
Plus, no man can know that we have a women's forum, where we discuss among ourselves these very issues. Yes, we are mature enough to consult one another on modesty, dress and decorum!
I think if a man wants to give directions to other men, using the word of God, that is awesome. But when someone comes on condemning the women in the forum for something we have not done, then it is time to draw a line in the sand.
And yes, I know VR already covered this much better than I did. I was driving in my car high in the Rocky Mountains with limited cell phone coverage (and who wants to post from a tiny cell phone screen anyway?!) and didn't get my two cents in. Well, make that zero cents, rounding it down in Canada, since we don't have the penny anymore!

I believe Paul's instruction is relevant today. In fact, it was Paul's writings that the Holy Spirit used to open my eyes regarding the liberty offered to us by the grace of Christ Jesus. I'm crucified with Christ, it is no longer a woman who lives, but Christ Jesus Himself who lives in me. There is no male or female in the celestial realm. I reign with Christ Jesus in the spiritual realm and that is where the Lord teaches me to walk. In reality, I'm no longer of this carnal world so I don't need to focus on my outward. Further more, it is Christ performing His work in me for His purpose. All I need do is rest in Him and obey His Voice.
Just because someone knows the scripture does not give them authority to teach. The devil knows the scriptures better than most people. That doesn't make him a spokesperson for the Lord God. Every wind of doctrine is posted in these forums and we should have the maturity to discern when someone is off-base and teaching from an intellectual standpoint rather than humbly submitted to the Holy Spirit.
If I don't hear Jesus Christ crucified and lifted up in an exhortation, I reject it. If people are ridiculed in a post rather than being set free in the spirit of Jesus Christ, I reject it. If a post causes confusion and division, I reject it.

Welcome to the "Bible Discussion Forum" where simply posting scripture will get you mocked and ridiculed. Of course, the mockery and ridicule is really aimed at God and His Word which so many people here despise. Anyhow, you did nothing wrong by posting your OP. God's Word stands sure...even if many people hate it.
