I know spaghetti straps and tank tops are considered immodest, but what about wide tank top sleeves? Like this?
Do you think it is okay to wear?
pinkjess: Spaghetti straps and tank tops are immodest? according to whom?
Why you believe the retro dress in the photo isn't modest?
The scriptures don't want men and women parading themselves like they be
in a dog and pony show...we are to be humble and honoring the Lord, not acting like
we be contestants for top model or something.
When you get all wrapped up in attention seeking, that's being immodesty...
modesty isn't just referring to what you wear, it also be about examining motives and attitudes
of the heart.
You don't got to be wearing a skimpy outfit or a 100,000.00 diamond studded evening gown to
an afternoon tea party, you can be wearing a burka...if your motives/attitudes be that you are far superior than others,
you are then immodest, even if you be wearing a burka and strutting around like the Queen of Sheba.
That reveals the condition of they heart, it be prideful not humble.
A man or a woman who is walking humbly with the Lord isn't caught up in attention seeking or striving to have their egos stroked.
"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves
with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience." Colossians 3:12
Romans 13:14
"Instead, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision
for the desires of the flesh."
