just a vain attempt of mine to lighten up a little..... it is better to pluck out the eyes in order to enter heaven
than it is to enter hell with both eyes intact.... (remember, JESUS SAYS THIS)(IN THE GOSPEL)

i figure you're not likely to pay attention to GOD'S WORD, and that is sorrowful and grievous,
but perhaps if you, or someone else, realizes that humans are human, perhaps somehow that would
'help' ?

the simplest actual witness of living a life pleasing to GOD in line with HIS WORD can be seen
at the amish, a secret life.

but most of the world, and all the carnal christians, cannot see it. (several members have watched it, and verified it is what GOD'S WORD says; for how to live HIS WAY) (men, women , and children)

the peruvian pendulum swung too far in trying to , or hoping to , make a point. no worries.

think of it this way : GOD'S WORD says to be modest. no question at that.

if, truly, a 'box' , could be worn, and IS modest also, that might pass muster,

when a , well, anything else actually, without modesty, would not pass muster....

seems ridiculous, but most of the world is, and a lot of christianity too...... that's one reason the road is
so n
arrow that leades to life....

yes, a lot of wanna be better/ stronger/ true/ living/ examples/ believers love it also for the same reason and more - it's what a family can look like
when
they serve GOD in truth with their whole life, by grace trusting JESUS.

maybe rebored with get born again after watching it all the way through. we can pray that it is so!

I reckon those last pics posted by the Desirable Haven are sexier than many I see with far more flesh exposed.
All in the eye of the beholder, I guess.

Then again, I reckon that "it" is the most over-rated of indoor and outdoor sports - but I did not always think so.

It just occurred to me that in eleven pages of discussion, none of us have raised the question:


WHAT IS IMMODESTY?

It seems that immodesty is boastful exhibition of one's self.

Is boasting of one's (supposed) sinlessness immodest?

Is boasting of one's musical talent immodest?

Is boasting of any ability God has given us immodest?

Are any of these much different (with respect to modesty) than a skimpy bathing suit?

IMO a skimpy bathing suit is less unpleasant to be confronted by.

It just becomes all about outward adornment
rather than the inward adornment where the emphasis should be.
The outward expression of what one paid mind to (inwardly) would not flaunt itself
but would follow the inward as the adornment of the inward person was tended to.

one is insidious, infiltrating man's soul to trip him up.... like balaam TOLD THE ENEMY when HE WANTED

GOD TO CURSE GOD'S OWN PEOPLE.... GOD'S PEOPLE , HIS OWN CHOSEN NATION, were cursed when

IMMODEST women tempted them and enticed them to sin.

don't forget the women were also punished, severely or even more severely.

Immodest | Define Immodest at Dictionary.com

dictionary.reference.com/browse/immodest


Immodest definition, not modest in conduct, utterance, etc.; indecent; shameless.
... immodest. /ɪˈmɒdɪst/. adjective. 1. indecent, esp with regard to sexual ...

so even a piece of clothing hanging on a line can be all by itself sinful/ immodest/ subject to GOD'S JUDGEMENT and HIS WORD....

Sexy is of a sensual nature,
what of those women being fully covered is something of a sensual nature?

Unless you are more after the sensual man and will find the sensual (or sexy) in just about anything?

Does this do the same for you?



Under these three burkas are three persons, Sandy, Kelly and Fred

Which one is sexier to you?

See what I mean?

A man could be under there and you would never know it, how could something covered over be sexy in that way?

What makes you say the underlined part? Who are you to say skylove does not pay attention to the Bible? Can we please treat each other with love and respect.

i just looked online to be sure - they're expensive and destroyed by water.

i don't understand girls, so you might just be a (rich?) girl with unusual (different than usual ideas and) posts, but also it seems you might be

a guy pretending to be a 'girl' and laughing at your own 'pretend' posts and the attention they might get.....

Not 100% sure about that, Marc.

If so, one might argue that a woman who spends tens of thousands (even hundreds of thousands) on an outfit for some red-carpet event is more modest and virtuous than one who simply wears a practical and functional outfit to a beach on a hot day.

I reckon the red-carpet show-pony is making a far more "boastful exhibition" of herself than the bird at the beach -
even if her full-length diamond-studded gown is neck-to-ankle ?

A world of?

Pumicestone, you can see their face and kneecaps (and yes their feet) in the first

I am guessing you are a legs man? (lol)

Or a foot man?

Which could be possible, since you raised no protest for a "pumice stone" to be used for the feet but only to the toilet

Are you revealing something about yourself to us this day?

LOL

I think the glamour girl at the event is also making a boastful exhibition of herself using clothes instead of their absence. I don't see much difference!
