[QUOTE="MyChainsAreGone, post: 73759404, member: 241841"] NW82, None of those passages tell a woman what to wear... only two of them tell women what NOT to wear... but the truth is that women are never commanded to make sure any particular part of their bodies are to be covered. Even nudity itself is not forbidden. The problem here is that we as a culture--and the church--have bought into the lie that "men are visual" and we just assume that God made us "that way"... so we put it on women to make sure that no "sexual body part" is exposed to the wrong guy's sight. But the Bible simply doesn't support any part of that assumption, nor the solution. The Solution is this: [I]Don't Lust. [/I] That solution is 100% the responsibility of the guy... not the girl. [I][/I] And lust is a choice. It comes from within the man... it is NEVER the product of something outside of a man. Read Mark 7:14-23. [INDENT][B][I]After He called the crowd to Him again, He began saying to them, “Listen to Me, all of you, and understand: 15 there is nothing outside the man which can defile him if it goes into him; but the things which proceed out of the man are what defile the man. 16 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.” 17 When he had left the crowd and entered the house, His disciples questioned Him about the parable. 18 And He *said to them, “Are you so lacking in understanding also? Do you not understand that whatever goes into the man from outside cannot defile him, 19 because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is eliminated?” (Thus He declared all foods clean.) 20 And He was saying, “That which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, 22 deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, [j]pride and foolishness. 23 All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man.”[/I][/B][/INDENT] Nothing can prevent a guy from "ogling"... and the woman is not at fault for the man's lust.
