Not a bad idea, really.
At least at that point you could discuss modesty as opposed to dress code.
Now, please...call me wishy-washy...actually being familiar with PastorSBC1303 and his church, I'd love to be in the same company.
I am curious at what point for you mini-skirts outranks name calling?
Certainly immodesty is not biblical, but niether is the character you are displaying in this discussion.
I know, I know, you can be proud that you have hurt people's feelings...just becareful...in this discussion of clothing, I have to tell you that your fruit is showing.
I know we all have our biases here and seem to be aligning with the folks that share our worldview. However, may I point out that it would not appear that PastorSBC is here to answer the questions presented in this thread rather he would appear to be here to "pull our chains" and call those who have standards to be placing folks into "legalistic bondage". This is the divide that is being discussed here, the difference between what one side calls "wishy-washy" and the other side calls "legalistic bondage". Let's lick our wounds, move on and focus on the discussion at hand, without the drunken humor and chain pulling.
One post I had way back on this thread was intended to "pull some chains" and I admitted that.
However, please show me one question that James asked that I did not address.
He just couldn't deal with the answers and had to restort to school yard tactics.
When in reality he would never address my questions, just simply ignored them, and called names.
At that point I decided addressing him was no longer worth my time.
Then he gave a half-hearted "I am sorry, but I am still right and yall just need to get over" speech to try and make it look better.
The OP did not contain a list of do's and don'ts. Your "entire point" does not answer the original questions.
Perhaps if it was put in different terms...A NFL cheerleader walks into your church dressed in nothing but paint. How do you address this person and what is the scripture that you will use to support your decision to the congregation?
My answer to the OP and any other questions still stands.
Now if you don't like it or disagree that is completely fine.
You are more than welcome to do that.
Scripture does not give us a list of do's and don'ts.
Therefore, you cannot address each of these "possible scenarios" as if Scripture does.
Again, if you want a list of do's and don'ts, that is completely your right.
Just do not try to hold me, my church or anyone else accountable to it.
Furthermore, if a NFL cheerleader walked into our church in any attire, I would hope that our church would welcome her and be interested in her salvation, not what she had on.
Very well. You've stated your position as being a proponent of any form of nakedness and that the Bible is silent on this issue. Now perhaps we can return this thread to the question of spandex.
I believe you can wear spandex and be saved. I'm just not sure its modest. That is what the discussion is supposed to be about, modesty. I would love to discuss salvation with you. I am participating in a thread on eternal security right now. I'd be willing to bet that many of those who believe the bible doesn't teach anything about modesty would also believe that they could judge the cheerleaders salvation by her 'fruit' that was showing. Obviously anyone dressed 'immodestly' would have to be unsaved, because the Holy Spirit would convict a saved person (just not always with the same convictions).
This is a Christian message board is it not? Do you not have salvation down or is there something you'd like to talk about? Start a new thread and I'll participate.
In the meantime, this thread is about santification and living holy, separated lives. Why murmur about such a topic?
Oh stop...He said the Bible doesn't have a list of do's and don'ts relative to what people wear. He further stated, that he would do nothing about a naked woman coming into the Lord's House of Worship accept welcome her.
