modesty

Most Christians ( especially in western culture ) seem to overlook this because they're so influenced by this world and pop-culture that they choose not to care. I said 'especially in "western" culture' because I traveled thru good amount of countries around the world, and see this issue...

There's really no other passage in the Bible that is used to teach that "Women must dress modestly" But most people don't know some very interesting and important facts about the words used in the Greek for this passage... so here's some things that might surprise you! POST #1 Here's the text...

Isaiah 57:14-15 ESV “And it shall be said, ‘Build up, build up, prepare the way, remove every obstruction from my people's way.’ For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: ‘I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is...

Video Talk 1 Peter 3:1-6 ESV Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, when they see your respectful and pure conduct. Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and...

Hello, I wanted to ask christian communities that only wear modest clothing (no thight clothes, skirts only). I know that Nazarenes, Jehovah’s witnesses, some independent Baptists, Mennonites, Amish, Apostolic pentecostals and Branham’s (end-time message) believers wear skirts only. Are there...

Hello! In Genesis 3:6-11, the first recorded effect of Adam and Eve's sin is that they realized they were naked. Because of this, they sewed fig leaves together to make loincloths, but this isn't considered enough, and their dialogue with God reveals they were still naked. Instead, in Genesis...

Exodus 28:42 reads (NKJV): And you shall make for them linen trousers to cover their nakedness; they shall reach from the waist to the thighs [emphasis mine]. Based on references I've come across, it does appear that the command to cover “to the thighs” means they needed to cover all the...

“I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling; likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for...

Are we too Raunchy in our culture? In relation to comments which Mr. Atheist [an atheist] and Girl Defined [two Christian gals] make in the video provided below, what do you think about the presence of 'Raunch' in your respective culture? And...here we go!!! Uh, huh! :cool:

I believe as Christians we've all came across the topic of head covering especially in light of 1 Corinthians 11:13-15. However, I want to bring to light another interpretation of those verses based on scholarship. This is mainly based on a podcast episode by Dr. Michael Heiser here (Naked Bible...

It has been a while since this topic has been raised in this forum. As someone who wore a head covering in the past, I’m curious to know your thoughts. Do you feel its necessary to cover your head? If so, do you abide by the practice every day or in certain scenarios? Is it only restricted to...

I haven't seen them in over 7 months. I snapped at them constantly and I was always in a really bad mood past couple of weeks. I am the only one in the family to have accepted the idea of corporal spanking. the rest of my 7 older siblings turned against those ideas and are all living different...

I know that some Christian denominations do not let women wear pants and I was wondering where that was found in the Bible. I've tried research but haven't gotten a clear answer.

Hi all, Thanks for reading. Hope you all have a great day. I'm 23 and on a university wrestling team, I have also been blessed with a fiancé and we plan to marry when we both graduate in two years. We have both kept ourselves pure for marriage. My problem is that I am not comfortable in my...

Peace be upon you guys! So today, on my way to church, there were a couple of men aged between 35-50 years old. They shouted at me saying these exact words: "Hey you, get rid of those long shirts or you will never get married. What kind of style is that.........etc". I didn't hear the rest...

Haay I'm Nura:) So I was wondering what would you guys think of a Christian girl who wears headscarf(hijab-style)/veil/turban? So my story is, for the longest time I wanted to dress modestly, so much that lately I even considered covering my hair. Whenever I am home alone and praying, I always...
