[QUOTE="Dave-W, post: 67539387, member: 354693"] THis is such a loaded subject. There is no consensus on what the bible means by "modest dress." That has given rise to both extremes - on the one hand you have the neo-victorianists (often found in the ranks of fundamentalist and holiness christianity) and on the other there seems to be a group of vehement pro-nudity christians. I cam across one of their websites recently (no link posted) that showed pics of nudes in both non-sexual and some VERY sexual contexts. (mid-[bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] for instance) The latter I see as not that much different from inappropriate content. I am really not sure where I stand on this. I understand that there is a HUGE cultural influence on how we understand this. And that western culture was heavily influenced by the early church fathers who intentionally cut themselvs off from the cultural understandings of their Jewish predecessors; and were vehemently anti-sex in any form. That led to a lot of legalistic "holiness" rules that thankfully are finally coming down. But that again brings us to the eternal question: how far is too far? Not sure I can answer that. [/QUOTE]
