I believe so, but I was wondering if someone can use reasoning other than "you cause others to stumble"

Immodest, yes. At least in this part of the world.

But God wants us to be happy, right. And part of being happy is not to offend each other. Most people are doing this, automatically. Are we believers more helpless than them? Do we know less about what's appropriate and not? Personally, I see lots more offensive things come from christians than the other way around.AutumnDreamer said:B/c non christians don't care what God thinks. Non Christians are not trying to live by a standard God has set, so have no need to decide if something is a sin or not.

I used to live in a world where everything and everyone was either legal or sinful. It was tiresome and unnatural.
holo said:Well, think of it this way; would God approve or reject you as His child based on how much or little cleavage you're showing?
Do you think God intends for you to divide your job, home, spouse, yourself, your walk, your language and your clothes into these two categories, "sinful" and "allowed" and live your life based on that?

OK. But is it loving as per 1 John?AutumnDreamer said:My happiness doesn't come from not offending others, my happiness comes from worshipping God. I am not sure I understand what you mean?
I mean that if somone offends you, your happiness may suffer, and vice versa. God doesn't want us to offend each other, and most people would agree, regardless of religion. My point is just: use common sense. You don't need a religious reason for showing or hiding a cleavage, just common sense.AutumnDreamer said:My happiness doesn't come from not offending others, my happiness comes from worshipping God.

If showing cleavage tempts men to lust after me, then I will not show cleavage. It is my aim as a Woman of God to have a walk worthy of the Lord. I know that "b**b-shirts" (that's what my 20 year old daughter and her friends call them) are in style right now, and while for the most part, I like to follow styles a little if I can, I also know that first and foremost, I must be dignified and modest.
