I have a brother in Christ who says that just swimming together is akin to bathing together....no matter what kind of clothes they have on. I know that I have to keep my mind on Jesus when there is a scantily clad woman in a bikini.
Yes, you have to be discerning, but swimming together is not similar to bathing together. The former includes clothes, the latter does not. Wow.

I look at this from a different perspective..... if a woman walks down the road in large undies, she will get arrested for indecent exposure. But if she wears a bikini that is twice as revealing, it's ok. It's a double standard, plain & simple.

Now, since much of the church believes the same way, they are guilty of not only keeping double standards, but also believing the way the world does, which is usually sinful as well.

I noticed nobody posted pictures of either, knowing either way you would get banned for it..... speaks for itself.;)

I am wondering what you think about this I know many Christian women wear them.
Yes bikinis are immodest. A Christian should dress in a way that would bring praise and honor to God. Low cut tops, short skirts or skin tight clothing should be avoided. A woman should not be dressing in a way to entice men and draw them into sin with their eyes.

folks won't be wearing them in Heaven. As I understand it, robes of white will be the dress code.......do that help?

We are not to be a "stumbling stone"......................that applies to both men and women..........Why I try not to wear a speedo.............well, that and the fact that the Emergency Rooms in the area filled up quickly the last time I wore one.....so many sick women, so few Doctors...........sigh

Son, you don't know ANY christian women that wear bikinis. Christians don't set an intentional stumbling block for other christians and women that wear bikinis wear them for one reason - to get looked at.

Are bikinis ok?

Is beauty ok, appreciating our humanity? Ofcourse. The obvious problem is people lusting after each other, but this will happen no matter how you dress. If you can wear a bikini and feel happy, that is a good thing, many cannot, but that also makes this world a varied place.

You're an idiot that only wants to feed your own lust. Women that are naked are beautiful, true...and that isn't meant for every man in the world to gawk at. You want to lust after MY wife? You think it's okay for me to lust after your wife? Read your bible idiot. Why do you think Adam and Eve clothed themselves?????? Idiot!

i believe a burka was suggested? :)
This is a nice bathing suit option for women who must wear burkas



Its might be too form fitting for them though, not sure
