1 tim 2:8-10

Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing. 9 I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, 10 but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.

lol my husband dress me because I prefer baggy clothes and he'd rather I wear things more tailored and form fitting, so <shrugs> everyone's idea of modesty is different. i think the important part is to dress in a manner that doesn't make other people lust after you and your flesh and thus leading them to stumble over their weakness. personally i don't think it matters what we wear if people could control their lust people could walk around nude like in the garden of eden but most people can't so its better to be clothed for their sake.

What i dont get is why women walk around dressed like hookers then complain about the guys that hit on them.

Or Why christian women think there dressed modestly in clothes that cover them up but are so tight if they bent over there whole outfit would explode

I have seriously considered asking some of these girls how they get their jeans on.. Like it must have taken a whole team of people to get in them bad boys!

Things that make you go hmmmm

Modesty isn't just for women it's for men too.

Down the drain. :) We as Christians have become complacent with today's standards and have allowed things that are unpleasing in God's sight. It surprises me some of the things I see women wear even at church! I think it boils down to the fact there in no longer a fear of the Lord and His Word. When God is taken out of the equation everything starts to fall apart, and lack of modesty happens to be a result.

Great verses! I clicked on your video link, and that is an amazing message! I love Paul Washer! He is an amazing man of God. His sermons and testimony have influenced my life very much! Have you heard of John Piper?

i think the way u dress, what u say , whatever u do it all starts in the heart , if Jesus is there it will reflect in the way u dress, behave , what u say etc..

Thank you everyone :) Modesty is not only a sign of self respect but also a gift & not a temptation. You wouldn't want to be the reason your brother/ sister is stumbling? dressing immodestly is a temptation that Satan loves to use against Christians. :)

people should NOT judge others by what they wear or don't wear. GOD SEES PEOPLE"S HEARTS. clothes and sins are not important. If more people would look at others with the spiritual eyes of GOD then we could walk around naked with no problems concerning lust or other sinful things.

YouTube - Casting Crowns - Does Anybody Hear Her

Do you see the people in need or do you chase them away with your lofty looks because your a lofty person?

Judge not lest you be judge. are you without sin that you would toss the first stone? will you condemn where God has blessed? will you place yourself above God's will?

Speak as if you spoke the very words of God. for by your words will you be justified or condemned.


Proverbs 3:3-6
"LET NOT MERCY AND TRUTH FORSAKE YOU; BIND THEM AROUND YOUR NECK WRITE THEM ON THE TABLET OF YOUR HEART."

"Be gentle and forbearing with one another and if one has a difference against another, readily pardoning each other; even as the Lord has forgiven you so must you also forgive." Colossians 3:13

I think women should be able to wear w/e they want (to an extent, of course.) We as men should control ourselves and not lust after them, and women should do the same for men. It's wrong to say "oh you women should put on baggier clothing b/c I'm looking at your breasts." How ridiculous does that sound? That's pretty much what we're telling women to do. Carry on, ladies, we men will learn to control ourselves.

I don't mean dress in supper baggie cloths just not super tight revealing cloths. Parts of our bodies should remain covered and only seen by our husbands not every man we pass by. :)
