This question goes out to the all the guys out there and I would really appreciate, if you can help me out.
I don't have a problem with modesty per se, but I would like to know what type of clothing causes many of you guys to lust. I ask this because I'll be going through my closet soon, taking stuff out and trying to buy a better wardrobe and I want to keep my brothers in Christ in mind so I won't be a stumbling block for you. Even if you don't know me, I figured since guys are so visual, I can probably take your opinions into consideration and generalize it into the male community.
And if you wondering why I ask this in the general theology forum, it is because of the issue of modesty. God, in His infinite wisdom, gave us women great principles on the way of which we should dress
1 Timothy 2:9-10
9 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, 10 but with what is proper for women who profess godlinesswith good works. 11Proverbs 31:17
17 She dresses herself with strength1 Peter 3:4
and makes her arms strong.
1 Peter 3:4However there really aren't any "rules" or "standards" to go by with those verses, I don't know how to apply them to the actual clothing, so I was hoping if I can get a feel of what causes you guys to lust, I would know what to stay away from, within reason. --I'm not talking about that guy that is turned on by anything as long as the girl is walking and breathing.
but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.
Scripture on this subject matter would be absolutely appreciated.
Respectful & modest says it all. Both are subjective to; culture, time, function, and use/audience. WWJ Think seeing you... If you were in a cross country meet, shorts of reasonable length are fine. If you are doing yoga, with woman, yoga pants are fine. Yoga pants to youth group, or a night out, not so much.
How about this, communal steam bathing in Finland. Men and woman in towles only? I say yes, but some literalists say, no?
Good thread, thoughtful
