Yet again, how a woman dresses for modesty is subjective.
Men are ALWAYS responsible for their thoughts and actions.
And, I'm for modesty for all genders....not aware that Scripture addressed modesty or immodesty in men's apparel.
Perhaps the Holy Spirit didn't consider a reaction to Xers when He inspired the Scripture.
no... the Holy Spirit considered everything when He inspired the Scriptures.... including actions and reactions to Xers........ the question is whether or not He inspired the Xers opinions...... and that... it seems........ might be the biggest point of contention.......
That would only be a point of contention if one of us affirmed the 'Xer position'...which I define as one or more of these:
Blame the woman for the man's sin.
Have a written/definitive standard of 'proper dress'.
Condemn any person who disagrees with the above.
I don't agree with those in any way, shape or form.
I assumed you didn't either.
i don;t agree with any of those Xers positions..... ???....... i apologize for misreading and assuming you did...... :-\ ........ maybe it was the intensity with which you opened this thread that gave me that wrong impression....... ??? ............. sorry.... :-\....... can i get into my high endurance speedo with the wet suit top and go surfing now?....... there is a 2 foot south swell coming in and north east trades leaving glassy 1 to 3 foot faces with super long hang times....... it;s supposed to get bigger later..... most likely out of my league...... so now;s the time to hit the breaks if i;m going to do it....... 8)
i hope you know that even though we sometimes disagree here i still consider us friends....... ........ aloha and have an awesome weekend....
No problem!
My purpose in this thread was to point out that just because some abuse and misuse the issue of modesty, that doesn't negate the truth behind the principle.
There has been an ongoing discussion about modesty in the evangelical community for awhile now.
