Bélla3: What is your veiw? Many pastors have come out openly without same to say ur dressing doesnt matter. Does that mean a woman can dress like a prostitude and nothing is wrong with it? And a man can dress like a thief, a drunkard and drug addict and nothing is wrong with it?
The bible says, do nt behave as unbelievers, bt today so called ministers claim u can behave anyhow and dress anyhow. 'let there be modesty in everything'. As a woman u wear things that make you fake, then where is you modesty? The fact that oyinbo dresses anyhow, does that make it acceptable in our society?
This my view though, what is yours as a true christian?
Rememba, the people that were first called christains, were called because people could see dat Christ they were preaching. Is Christ reflected in your life?
(CHRISTAINS ONLY)

Bélla3: hypocrisy at its peak!

tpapi: if u didnt notice her bum short,then y r u now telin us

bukatyne: my dear, be very careful wit wat u say. as d OP said, if u don't have anything meaningful to contribute, just exit the thread. thanks

tintingz: yep this thread meant for christians while you guys insult others beliefs. . .Jesus christ did'nt die for my sin nor anybody sins only God forgive sins and your holyspirit you worship that does'nt have a name for the past 2000 yrs we did'nt hear him nor read his new things to come. . .yes am fasting buh i did'nt insult i only gave my view and the fact.

Gee123.:
@ topic, ur dressing really matter. Yes God looks at the heart and not on the outside. But come 2 think of it, can one's inside b white and the outside Black? CAPITAL NO!. So what we c outside is just what is Inside, "Out of the aboundance of the Heart, the Mouth speaketh".

The OP: You Christians are just a Bunch of lawless pips who just want do away with Gods laws. Saying Jesus never condemned bad dressing , well that's b'coz women weren't dressed half naked at his time. When you watch plays about the life of Jesus Christ on chrismas , do you see how Mary and other women were dressed?

Or imagine a lady dressed in mini skirt and a backless cleavage revealing top approach Jesus for counsel , do you think he will support such mode of dress and pass it off as being covered by his grace?

You all just finding excuses to blend-in with the ways of the world ; the ways of Lucifa.

tintingz: @op, it does not matter oh. . .since Jesus christ has die for your sins and carried all your sins on his head wash them with his blood why should it be a big deal. . .you can go to church naked expose your bakassi while the holyghost is behind you watching your movement. . . Jesus is not angry with you at'all at'all he as already forgiven you with his blood . . .dance unto tha Lord helleluya!

Delafruita:
did jesus ever condemn anybody's dressing?

luluosas:
May God have mercy on you and open the Door of GRACE through Jesus Christ for your soul. God loves you and He desires your repentance today. Give your life to Jesus and be save.

ReeOde: Good morning everyone.
To be blunt, i'm a muslim, and i am not here to antagonise your bileive, rather i only wish to share a few comments for the best.
And pls pardon me if i vexes you.

First of all, DRESSING is the issue and what does it means?
According to Oxford A.L.D (6th edition), it means: "the act of putting on clothes (the things that you wear, such as trousers/pants...)."
But the bases is, why do we have to dress?

Genesis 3:7 (The King James 2000 Version) - "And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were NAKED; and they sewed fig leaves together, and they made themseleves aporns". And so on Genesis 3:10-11.
Further more, in Genesis 3:21, "Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God MAKE COATS OF SKIN, AND CLOTHED THEM."
From the above chapter/verses, it is now known to us that the essence of dressing is to clothed ourselves from our unclothedness.
NAKED on its own is another topic which we have to understand. We often think that our breast and our sexual organs are what constitute or defines our private parts or unclothedness but we are wrong and that is absolutely where the problem lies.
WHAT IN OUR BODY MAKES US NAKED?
It is stated in the Qur'an (Allah's words reveal through Angel Jubriel [Gabrel] p.b.u.h) and also explaned in the Hadith (sayings of Prophet Muhammed, peace be up him [s.a.w]). That's why our women have to dress up in Hijabs (such that it will cover their bossom).
From our worldly desires and influences, some amongst us are now trying to blend in their wears to suit that of civilization which is leading us astray.
In Islam, every part of a woman's body is her unclothedness (but it's enough for her to reveal her face, hands [wrist]); as for a man, starting from is knee to his chest. It is subjected to further explanation as explaned in the Hadith.
To sum it all, in Islam, i must concentrate more on the women, everything that makes up their beauty is their unclothedness (even their body shapes) and that is why they are not allowed to wear a fitted cloth.

...DOES OUR DRESSING REALLY MATTERS?
Yes it does, and why?
From Psychological analysis, one's body becomes emotional inclined, attracted, moved, erected...from seeing the unclothedness (beauty) of an oppsite sex, even same sex probably he or she is more beautiful or handsome than we are. These mixed feeling brings about temptation that could actually make one go extra mile in order to satisfy and balance his/her thin and thick. We can do and undo as a result of that.
Also, the young ones live by what they see and what they learn from us, and when we get it wrong, then we are distroying their future and as well, others to come.

A Sin doesn't stay stagnant, it increases and get worse. Starting from Adam and Eve, the forbidden friut, and now it is Adultery, Fornication, Shirk, Homosexuality e.t.c.
We just have to be fearful of God, separate His want from ours in order to get it right. Let's try to imagine the dangers our future generation could incure from our own err.

We have our views, may God guide us aright and forgive me if i've in anyway commented wrong. Ameen

iheanyi4u:
Really? I mean He(Jesus) was approached by prostitutes, adulterers, thieves and so on. Am yet to find a place in which He condemned them! Nobody is looking for any excuse to blend in. We might be in this world but we are not of this world.
Like I said earlier your dressing has to represent Christ cos we are His ambassadors

okeyxyz:

So what are you saying? That jesus celebrated & encouraged their adultery/prostitution/thievery? If he did not order them to be stoned or removed from his sight, does that mean he urged them to continue? Did Jesus not acknowledge their sins? Jesus's message was(and still is) that everybody has opportunity to accept him. It's like having a son who is an armed robber, that does not take away his "sonship" but the fact that he remains your son does not mean you are proud of his activities.

The OP: You Christians are just a Bunch of lawless pips who just want do away with Gods laws. Saying Jesus never condemned bad dressing , well that's b'coz women weren't dressed half naked at his time. When you watch plays about the life of Jesus Christ on chrismas , do you see how Mary and other women were dressed?

aryzgreat:

How come u noticed her daughter was wearing bum short? u may not feel any distraction bc she is a fellow girl how about ur male church members? Do u know wot will be going in their mind?

shilling: It matters. Don't dress in a way that will make the opposite sex stumble and that goes for males/females.

Bélla3: so its okay to dress anyhow? Even if it affects the faith of others?

goldylock: The problem we have is that there is no laid down rule on how to dress in the bible. Some will quote" the cloth pertaining to men" for me now but that's an ongoing debate. Exposing ur body to the whole world especially the parts that should be covered is definitely wrong. Looking good is good business I saw someone talking about nails eye shadow bla bla how do u want to look good as a woman without a lil touch up? If u r not a teenager with that fresh look plssss make up and don't go around looking like the world has just ended its an insult to ur heavenly father. Even the bible advocates it cos God asked d children of Isreal to collect gold n ornaments from the Egyptians before they left the land of Egypt. Dress well look smart look good do not expose ur body to the world n u r good to go its that simple u don't need God to come down and tell u dat when he has already given u common sense.
Forgive my punctuations please.
