1 Timothy 5:1a (KJV1679):
Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; -

I also know of some older Christian ladies who in my opinion are feminist. I also do not go to these women for counsel regardless of their age.
Same here at the BB. I have read posts from many here and their writing is the only fruit I see. So, I must go by that to decide which men or women are of sound doctrine. -
Oh, and one must take every word literally to be scriptural? News to me and millions of other evangelicals. By the way, what is it that I don't tale literal in Genesis? The 24 hour day thing of creation? I am not alone on that one. I think you might be confusing me with someone else on that point.
I don't control the Anglican Church, and they do ordain women ministers. She preaches the word.
I have already said my group will not ordain women in ministry. What would you have me do, not attend church on Sunday? Well, I will worship where I can, thank you very much.
Cheers,
Jim -
"people can wear what they please" is biblical? or was that just a hypothetical on jim1999's part?

1 Timothy 2:9, "In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel"
is there any type of clothing (or lack thereof) that a christian woman should avoid based on this verse? -
In general women's pants
(or shorts) are more modest than
skirts of the same length.
Coulottes combine the modesty of pants
with the form of skirts. Therefore
coulottes can be worn by spiritual women. -
I get where you are going with this topic Dr. Bob...but the title is the funniest I've seen in a long while. -
Since coulottes are made to appear like skirts (some even having flaps to hide the split in the legs), are not those who wear them being dishonest about what they are wearing???? It seems strange to me ... and I grew up in a coulotte wearing church. I didn't wear them personally; they just weren't flattering on me. But it was a funny night the night the youth group went snow skiing and the girls had to wear coulottes. You talk about immodest and uncomfortable. That snow on the inner thigh ain't a good thing. I have always contended that coulottes are nothing but bell bottom shorts.
Seriously, wearing coulottes does not make one spiritual. -
Coulottes can certainly be worn modestly if worn by a "lady" as Helen emphasied.
Coulottes can be worn immodestly if the wearer so chooses.
It does matter what a woman wears. If she dresses immodestly and men have filthy thoughts she gets some of the blame. If she is dressed modestly and men have filthy thoughts then it is 100% their fault. She cannot control them but she can control herself. This, of course, is also true of men. (We men of course, are filthy pigs at heart anyway) -

Well, maybe BEFORE you are born again....
but not now, dear sir. God knows what He is about! -
This thread is crackin' me up! I used to have to wear coulottes for gym as part of the dress code, so got used to them.
GLORIFIED SHORTS? Bell bottom shorts? ROFL! Well, in THAT case a skirt is nothing more than glorified coulottes! Coulottes unsewn in the middle. Actually they must be WORSE!
The only option left is a dress, which is simply a bell bottomed tankini with an attached glorified pair of coulottes.
I'm not sure where that leaves us! What shall we wear? :(

Pastor Larry: "Since coulottes are made to appear like skirts
(some even having flaps to hide the split in the legs),
are not those who wear them being dishonest
about what they are wearing????"
Can you spell "straining at a knat and swollowing
a camel"?
Pastor Larry: "Seriously, wearing coulottes does
not make one spiritual."
This is correct. And wearing dresses does
not make one spiritual. -
Amen Ed! Preach it brother!
Nothing that we WEAR makes us spiritual. What is in our HEARTS makes us spiritual.
Culottes are a necessity when playing sports. Can you see all the young girls with broken legs from tripping over ankle length dresses?
Weren't the women in the Bible told to 'gird up their loins' when they went to glean in the field?
And there you have the beginning of shorts!
I will repeat: Nothing that we WEAR makes us spiritual. What is in our HEARTS makes us spiritual.

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. -
Acts 26:29 And Paul said, "Whether short or long, I would to God that not only you but also all who hear me this day might become such as I am--except for these chains."
-
David danced in his underwear through the streets, with women leading the procession. Jesus stripped of much of his clothing when he knelt to wash the disciple's feet...
It's NOT what we wear that makes us spiritual or even SHOWS spirituality. It's the heart... as others have well said.

Artimaeus, does that mean I shouldn't pray when I'm in the shower?
Adam and Eve were naked until sin entered in. God was not ashamed of their nakedness.
