Hello everyone I recalled a sad experience I had with a friend from another faith while I was in school and I've decided to share to see if anyone has any similar experience too. I schooled in a Northern Nigerian state owned university. I had this close friend of mine whom I'll call Musa (not his real name) In 2016, Musa and I were having a conversation and he said something that made me sad then and still saddens me each time I remember. Musa was telling me how wayward his cousin sister now is, that she dresses so bad that she now exposes her body so much. Musa then went on to say, "the way she dresses now is so wayward that even a Christian won't dress that way" I quietly asked myself if Christianity is now the yardstick to measure immorality  I felt really bad because this is truly how most people from other religions genuinely see Christians. If we truly want to follow Jesus, let it reflect in our character, dressing, speech, relationship and everything. Let people truly see Jesus in us. Jesus is all we have, we shouldn't soil his name and make it synonymous to scanty dressings and indecent lifestyles. I beg all in Jesus' name "please don't be the reason why Christianity is used as a yardstick to measure immorality!!" I pray God will help us all in Jesus name If you've ever had a similar experience please share... Thank you and God bless you |

God doesn't look at the outward appearance,and i don't think dressing half naked is a sin or pls can you show me where it is written in the bible? |

everybody is entitled to his or her own opinion. I don't blame your so called friend because that is what he has been told |

like someone said claiming you are moral because you believe in god is just like saying you are an economist because you play monopoly |

And the person who said she grew up listening to her folks curse Christians and Christianity every single morning, what should we say to that? She said it was like a ritualistic morning devotion followed with dedication, every morning, curse Christians then enjoy the rest of your day. Not sure if you'd get my point? But if you're sad or moody, perhaps you should see if there might be other reasons besides the way people dress. |

Oma307: not just what he has been told but what he has seen... girls will put on a very short gown with cleavage out and the short gown still has a slit saying she's going to church... you'll see a guy also with his chest hairs out in the church... what for exactly? He has seen this and prolly think immoral dressing is permitted in Christianity |

NaijaTushboy: Mathew 23:26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. Don't you know that the reason why the outward look is corrupt is because the inward is corrupt? Someone who dresses immorally simply has an immoral heart. If the person should clean the immoral heart, the outward appearance won't look immoral. God cares more about the content of the heart, but this doesn't mean he doesn't give a damn about the outward appearance. What you have inside your heart is expressed outwardly in your looks. That's why Jesus said in the verse above that we should clean the inside of the cup so that the outside will be clean as well. If the outside looks dirty, there's no way the inside will look clean. |

tomtween1: The complaint is not about the dressing. |

Our forefathers and ancestors didn't use to wear clothes though. Just saying. Even when they did, our ancestors still went topless because of the hot weather, etc. |
