funny i can't believe you read my whole statement and didn't get what I said.

So you answer my question with a question, and then attack me before hearing my answer, ok? You seem to be really stuck on the prostitute thing, out of everything I said you really focus on that. I see how your taking it but like i said you didn't get what I said. So you want me to hold your hand walk you through all my points and justify myself, no, read what I said not what you think it means.

You asked do i think wearing make up is not modest? Well I guess that depends on how you wear it and your intention for wearing it.

So how bout you answer my question, DO you agree women should loo modest as God said or no?

I think it is safe to say you have an issue with me.

On second thought I don't feel like arguing about this for days, so I'll just stop it right now and walk you through it.

In my other post I said it mattered what the persons intent was. I talk about how make up came about the intent was to attract men. I talk about sodom them doing this, and talk about Egypt where Israel primarily learned to wear make again showing the intention was to draw attention to themself more often than not the attention of men, and i talk about prostitutes which you seem to jump on. But I was talking about the intent which was to entice men.

so the focus of what I said was on the intent. I also said make up was not a sin, it is the intent of a person.

Then I quoted Timothy. To answer your question about what i think is modest. i think anything a woman uses to draw attention to her self and stand out and be notice is not modest. This is what God is saying.

If you had to point out my key point in my post for school you would have missed the mark by a mile. I don't know what your issue is but seek help.

Here is what i wrote go back and read it after I have Explain my self.

I thought it was in the law, but i would have to go through all the books of the law to find it. Let me explain it another way.

You have to understand the time in Abrahams day Jewish women did not wear make up but the gentiles did. Places like sodom and gormar. Israel did learn to wear it after their slavery in Egypt. In Egypt women always painted there faces they called it. remember gentiles back in those day were very sexually immoral people. You can be assured they did it to attract men. Israel women would not have worn it because they were slaves. After slavery they had picked up from Egyptian women. How ever the prostitutes mostly wore it, again to attract men. The history of make up came about to attract men.

That is why i said watch what you intentions are.

1tim 2:9 NLT says this

9 And I want women to be modest in their appearance.[a] They should wear decent and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes. 10 For women who claim to be devoted to God should make themselves attractive by the good things they do.

You should worry about what is with in more than with out, but if you wondering how God tells you to look it is the above verse, Modest. If you wear make up do it modestly.

It is all about your intent. Like i said if you are luring men you are a temptress with those sin and sin of adultery. I trust this is not what you are doing, but do be aware of the message you are sending. I think every parent has told their daughter this. peace and love
P.S.
If your asking if it is a sin to wear it, again that depends on your intent not on make up. make up is not a sin.

to mmk. Wow that really says alot about you, not even a sorry for falsely judging me for something i did not even say. I have made 17 post on this forum and attack probably 15 times. People told me stay in your faith section should not be any attack there. yeah right.

If the people on Christian sites are a reflexion of Christians around the world, oh boy is this world in trouble.

Put the gun away!!
OH, boy---if you look at my first post you should be able to see that I did not address it to anyone in particular. I made a general statement taking in what everyone has said and gave my opinion. I did not quote anyone's post.
Your question was if I reject what God said about being modest or agree with it---it must be that I am woman and you are man and our synopsis are firing differently--or some such thing. Seeing as I never mentioned modesty, and the verses dealing with how modest women should be attired never mentioned make-up, I could only go to the conclusion that you were of the opinion that make-up is not modest--sorry if a missunderstood your meaning.I, of course do not reject what God said about modesty, do not even understand why you would ask that question.
You equated the wearing of make-up, in biblical times, with prostitutes. It gave the impression, that since it was the way prostitutes attracted men, that the whole business is tainted. I mentioned the shaving of legs and armpits as originialy being in the realm of prostitution, and remained in that realm alot longer than the wearing of make-up, simply because you mentioned prostitution and make-up---so, if shaved legs was immodest, and was done to solely attract men, should women now adays not shave in order to be modest, in your opinion??--Again, make-up and shaving are not mentioned in the bible. In fact, the bible doesn't mention that Jezebel, because she was putting on her make-up, was therefore, a prostitute.

I do not have an issue with you--if do however, have an issue with what I understood you to say--which I may have missunderstood.

I have understood modesty, as is biblically mentioned, has to do with expensive, showey clothing,extreme hairstyles, jewlery, and you may as well throw in shoes--as, nowadays---those are not only expensive, and very flashy, but can also be classified as lethal weapons. And of course, excessive, bold, outrages make-up would be inappropriate. That only makes sense. If your eyelids look like a peacock, and your lips like bloated
tomatoes, you're wering 3-inch false eyelashes with 20 coates of mascara, and checks that resemble a red apple, 3-inch outrageously painted nails, with hair that took $1,000.00 of extentions and braids and color that does not even belong on an animal---along with horrendously expensive clothing that cost more the less there is of it and the tighter they are, fishnet stockings and dental floss for underwear, and these 6inch stilletoes that cost more than I make in 3months---you can safely assume that you are not dressing as a modest, Christian woman.

Like i said says a lot about you, you can't even admit you falsely judge what i said, and you won't even admit what you said i said i did not say. What a joke. I guess you have to much pride.

I got some things in common with you about obsessing with things like makeup clothes or anything else, and sometimes we get too into it we forget that God created us fro something more, and its ok to wear it but dont wear to much as to cover up what God created. and that we need to fix our eyes to know that God made us beautiful in his eyes, so yeah its hard to let go but I know you can do it ill be praying for you

Dear one, I can understand about feeling insecure about looks, about seeing every imperfection in your face, body, everything else. BUT...You were designed according to God's perfect will and design for YOU.

There are certain things about yourself that are unchangeable. These are things that you need to accept and learn to praise God for. These things are due to His perfect will and design. Here's an article that hopefully will help you with this...
