I have a question for you guys (what's new lol). What do you think about the sort of clothing a Christian should wear? I know it shouldn't be revealing or flashy, but beyond that, do you guys have any guidelines for yourselves? Or do you think about it at all?

I don't really think about it because I think clothing (on a whole) is more of a cultural thing than it is a "Christian" thing. Now I know that God clothed Adam and Eve in the garden and that's why we're not all nudists lol and it's also why nudity outside of the marriage bed is wrong...

But as far as guidelines, personally as long as it's not sending the wrong message, I don't think there is a wrong or right. I am a very curvy person lol and there's no way I could hide those curves without wearing a bunch of potato sacks or something lol...but I have always been a modest dress kind of person. Jeans and a t-shirt and I'm good to go. I was raised wearing only dresses and they had to be below the knee...even when swimming. Frankly, dresses would be pretty immodest for me now because I am kind of a rough and tumble gal at times and I'm also not graceful. I remember SO many times accidentally showing people my undies because of that.

I see nothing in the Bible that says women have to wear dresses. The only rule we ever see there is that women shouldn't look like men, and vice versa. But the dress code as it were is more by culture, I think. I have nothing against a person wearing clothes that flatter their body. I know for me if I wear clothes that hide my "trouble spots" I feel a lot more confident and comfortable going out. I'm pretty self conscious about myself though.

I think its good for a lady to express herself in a way that portrays hers specific tastes while keeping in mind that immodestly typically triggers sexual thoughts in her Christian brothers.


1 Corinthians 8:9-13GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)

9 But be careful that by using your freedom you don’t somehow make a believer who is weak in faith fall into sin. 10 For example, suppose someone with a weak conscience sees you, who have this knowledge, eating in the temple of a false god. Won’t you be encouraging that person to eat food offered to a false god? 11 In that case, your knowledge is ruining a believer whose faith is weak, a believer for whom Christ died. 12 When you sin against other believers in this way and harm their weak consciences, you are sinning against Christ.
13 Therefore, if eating food offered to false gods causes other believers to lose their faith, I will never eat that kind of food so that I won’t make other believers lose their faith.


Along the same lines I like to have a beer after work but if I'm with someone who is inclined to alcoholism God forbid I'm instrumental in causing them to stumble back into that dreadful life style.
