Since when do cheerleaders walk around naked or with "nothing but paint on"?
If she walks in and doesnt have any clothes you deem appropriate, take her shopping. We have done that and it can be a really fun and rewarding experience.

Go Dallas...
Ooops all my smiley has on is shoes!!!!
Seriously, this thread is really ridiculous, and you all do owe Pastor an apology... nowhere does he say he supports nakedness.
He just says we don't need a list... If we are saved, God lives in us. We get our instructions from the Holy Spirit.
If you are going to go strictly by the Bible on clothing standards, make sure each shirt you put on this week is not a blended material...
That is in the bible, spray paint isn't.
Modesty is in the heart, and when the heart is right, so will the outside be. -
Now repent for your pom-pom-wielding, reprobate, nekkidness-lovin', compromisin', devil-worshippin', dancin', non-separated smiley and you will be allowed to post again. -

I wear spandex all the time. It's called "cycling". There's nothing sexual about it. We actually look like a bunch of dorks.

Big difference between an adult man(who is supose to know better, but apparently...) and a teenage girl, if you hadn't already noticed. -
People are so concerend about what other people do, but negelect to take a good look at themselves. Does anyone really think insulting people, name calling, and making up what people have not said is any better chrsitan behavior?

And why pick on cheerleaders... what about those playing with the pigskin?
I have heard numerous times the reason women watch football is to see the tight uniforms -
There are a few men here who no matter what keep dwelling on modesty, and nudity, even to the point a few times naming body parts(mod deleted them). It seems these men have a sex problem,a nd are trying to blame everyone but themselves. Everyone else needs to get right but them. yet they are he ones who can not discuss anything with it being about sex.

These guys here can't hlp talking about sex, and using names of body parts they probably wouldn't use in real life.
Plus, this topic is not about revealing clothing, it's about just what is and isn't modest. Some want to carry it to the extreme.
Oh, and by the way, had you read the other thread like this, not all men dwell on sex. -
I have a double standard. And I admit it.
If a kid shows up at my church, and I know (or am fairly sure) he/she is lost or unchurched, I'm going to do my best to make that person feel welcome, so that they may hear the Gospel of Christ.
If they came naked? I'd offer them a free T-shirt from our stock (a really long one) and tell them I'm glad they came.
If one of "my kids" comes and needs more covering, I talk to them (if it's girls, I have a godly lady who is NOT a youth's mom, her kids are grown) who gently tells them we need to change.
And I have some pretty cool t-shirts here available for just that occasion.
I don't apologize for asking Christians to act as such. But we do it in a spirit of love, gentleness, and restoration...not condemnation.
I am comfortable with my process and policy. It has been prayed over, thought through, written down, and talked over. It has put to the test of the whole counsel of the Bible. It is coherent, consistent, Christ-honoring, and caring. (that's actually the basic structure of my manual). I daresay my policy on dress makes more sense than many others' here. It trains the saved and loves the lost.
So throw all the stones you want, you couple that have been doing so. My conscience is clear. God is honored here. We're pointing to Him. And if that's liberal to you, then I wear that as a badge of honor, because I believe what I'm doing meets the approval of my Lord. You should do the same. -
rbell, sounds good to me. christians acting like christians, not being judged and insulted but handle gently and lovingly, and non christians just loved.

Hmmm... imagine what we could accomplish as Christians if we quit playing God, and just followed his orders to love Him and love others.....
I can only imagine.... -

Someone asked if we had seen an NFL cheerleader...no, I know that's not wear my attention should be. I am curious of those who have chosen to gawk before choosing to condemn.
I am also astounded at the accusations leveled at PastorSBC. He has not promoted immodesty, and I would be shocked if his church promoted immodesty. And unlike others, I do know his church...we're in the same association, just 20 miles down the highway.
No where in this thread has he promoted immodesty. He said that the list of do's and don'ts advocated by some here was their own and not Biblical, and he said that teaching salvation was more important than worrying about someone's clothes.
Some have forgotten that pride is just as worldly as immodesty. What is the point of twisting someone's words or exaggerating their stance? To win the argument? What's the point of that? Pride. A nice, fleshly surge of "attaboy!" that comes from telling ourselves that we are better than someone else. Too bad it comes to nothing, means nothing, and in the end, only takes our focus away from what God calls us to.
And I could be wrong, but isn't that pride, well, immodest? -
