The Godly Way Women Are To Dress and Look

PreachTheTruth said:

The fruit of the Spirit of God is:

Telling the truth at all times.

Ceasing from all sin.

Bringing all your deeds to the Light.

Walking in the beauty of Holiness to God.

Staying in the Light.

The Light of Life.

Dwelling in the righteous judgement of God.

The fear of the Lord.

Pleasing God is your only priority.

True or False?

False. Those things are good, even desireable, but are not the fruit of the Spirit, which are listed in Galatians 5:22.

Really? Who told you that about me?

Your own posts say that about you.

E.g

PreachTheTruth said:

How can any CHRISTIAN believe that it is the will of God, for WOMAN to dress and look any other way, than according to the standards set here in the written word of God?

How could a CHRISTIAN women ever wear one of these wicked things called a BIKINI and not feel guilty? How could a Christian man ever allow his daughter or wife ever to even own this wickedness much less wear it? WEARING BIKINI'S IS AN ABOMINATION TO GOD.

How can CHRISTIAN men allow their wives and daughters to wear makeup. That is certainly not Godly.

PreachTheTruth said:

Why do women wear makeup and nail polish and change the color of their hair? That is a sin.

It is not Godly, it is not righteous, it is not Holy.

It is not acceptable to God.

PreachTheTruth said:

You should have married in the will of the Lord. You have no one to blame but yourself for that.

You have made a judgement that bikinis, make up, nail varnish, hair colour are wicked and that women who wear them are ungodly; you imply that these things are outside the will of God, and are critical of Christian women who wear/use them.

Furthermore, you have judged that another Christian's marriage was not God's will. You don't know and it's nothing to do with you.

You are wrong - end of.

Which is why you've chosen the username of "PreachTheTruth", right?

You're not kidding anybody and you really should put your focus back on yourself...even if it's not necessarily a pretty sight.

Bear in mind that the word used for vail/veil also means shawl. In Gen 24:65 she covered herself but it does not indicate that she covered her face. In the other instances the faces were covered and it appears to have been done in order to deceive. I don't think such beguilement was necessarily for a good purpose.

There are different underlying Hebrew words which are translated as "vail" in the Old Testament. The underlying Hebrew word which is translated as "vail" in Genesis 24:65 only appears two other times in the entire Old Testament and here they are:

"And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep. And she put her widow's garments off from her, and covered her with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife. When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face. And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me? And he said, I will send thee a kid from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it? And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave it her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him. And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood." - Genesis 38:13-19

In Rebekah's case, I doubt that she was out to "beguile" Isaac. In Tamar's case, there certainly was some trickery involved. Like I said, it's not as cut and dried as some may think.

PreachTheTruth said:

And I always measure out what I want measured out back to me. So therefore, I always bless myself. And it is acceptable to God.

You bless yourself? No need for God then, eh?

PreachTheTruth said:

Do you have any more verses you want to try on me?

It would be very nice if you would answer my question since it is directly related to a comment you made about the relationship between marriages and God's will. So, are mixed-race marriages within God's will?

PreachTheTruth said:

I am going to keep what ever knowledge I know... on that subject at this point in time...to myself.

Click to expand...

Ah, just as I thought. Your reticence on the subject is very telling, to say the least. Hopefully everyone will take note and think about it when they see the other things you say.

PreachTheTruth said:

Well, I am not concerned about any of them.

Click to expand...

Then you are against God's will right there. You are to be concerned about people, period. Yes, you are only out to impress God, but you still must care about people.

PreachTheTruth said:

I confess, I am guilty... I love God with all my heart. Leaving no part of my heart for another. You got me there.

Your play on words has no effect on the message that I gave.

When I pray for you, I don't pray that your heart gets larger, I pray that your heart gets softened to the people around you.

PreachTheTruth said:

Oh you got me scared.

Really? That's the reply that you're going to give?

Are you running some little experiment where you crib a bunch of responses so that you can have a chuckle with your congregation about what "those liberal Christians" supposedly say?
