Thoughts? #christian #modesty

[britttanyrose]

Can you please show me in the Bible, where it says that you cannot wear a crop top, leggings, or fitted clothing. The Bible does not give these specifications when it comes to modesty. This is what man has decided is immodest due to misogynistic views and judgement. I have an amazing relationship with Christ, and I completely comfortable wearing crop tops and shorts and leggings at appropriate times.

People need to stop saying in my opinion and use the Bible. It tells you how to dress. It has nothing to do with your opinions.

[barbrilbetts]

If God says it, that settles it. Opinions, thoughts, feelings, none of it matter. It is what it is.

I believe that as a Christian, the question you should be asking yourself is that; will God like it if his daughter is dressed like this?
Will this dress i am putting on glorify God?

Remember that in all you do, it must glorify God. 1 Corinthians 10:31

Umm I’d have to disagree as a young Christian who’s been on that side. As I became more experienced in the faith, the closer you get to God the more uncomfortable you become “showing “ your body in public

[korabbyy]

We have to be real with ourselves. To be a Christian is to deny thyself why it's hard....we all know crop tops and super tight outfits are to show off our shape even if it's are not supposed to make the bible work for us but work for the bible

[lalalalaaAa]

As a Christian, I think we can be real about how some peoples idea of modesty GREATLY changes depending on the woman’s bust and booty size. The same tight t-shirt is modest on an A-cup, but “too much for church” on a double D. 😕

Y'all modesty means not being too loud and proud about one's self abilities. The synonyms for modesty are humble, humility, meekness, etc. If you dress for vanity purposes, regardless if covered or midriff, then you are not being modest at all.

I never felt that the older generation of women in church were being judgmental but simply teaching me about modesty. Having a shawl or cloth to cover your legs if your skirt is a little short when sitting in the pew was and still is modest to me. Now that’s what the Holy Spirit revealed & convicted to ME. I’ve never been one to flaunt my body (I’ve always had a big butt for my frame) butt my mom taught me to cover it to avoid men staring. I can still look cute and be covered. My husband will sometimes check me if I’m wearing something he deems a little too revealing or will catch a man’s eye. I don’t feel controlled by that but covered by his love and protection.

Sorry her version of modesty ain't modest. But doesn't make her bad just shouldn't be an example in my opinion.

[valeriesantos]

I agree. Modesty isn’t a 90 yr old thing. It’s more of a respect thing. We dress beautifully for a wedding… God, deserves it much more 💝

[MikanVTuber]

As a Muslim women, thank you for bringing up that Modest Christians exist people always forget our modest sisters. God bless you

[daughterofgod]

To be a Christian is not to have "your version" of modesty. Gods version of modesty is to "be ye holy, as your Father in Heaven is holy", (1 Peter 1:5) and "be set apart". If holiness is your aim, then naturally the Holy Spirit will lead you away from wearing things that show off every curve and skin that fosters lustful thoughts.

Matthew 5 says if you lust after a woman, you've committed adultery in your heart. So if we LOVE our brothers as we say we do, then why make it easy for them to lust? Why help perpetuate an already overly sex crazed society? We are not to conform to this world but be transformed. And this goes to men too that wear tight clothes to show off their gym gains. Woman lust too.

Does revealing, form fitting clothes make one think of God? No. The Bible says, "whatsoever you eat, drink and do, do ALL to the glory of God"
It is a spirit of vanity, self exaltation and even pride that would make a Christian believe that this attire is holy, not the spirit of God.
When the heart is truly submitted to living the will of our Creator and not self, the external appearance will follow, and justifications for these clothings will fall away.


Lets be transformed by the renewal of our minds. Jesus is coming soon!

[Danreael]

I think it’s possible to dress cute and still keep your body covered.🙏🏽❤️ 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

[arleenenunes]

it is NOT JUDMENTAL when u call out IMMODESTY!!...this generation call WRONG RIGHT & RIGHT WRONG!!!...IT IS NOT OLD FASHIONED TO BE MODEST!!!

[MakaylaG-yy]

Just as long as it’s not showing too much, obviously, and that you’re not attending church in those outfits, *obviously..*

[IAmNiyahSimone]

I’m sorry but I’ll have to disagree. We definitely have to start speaking truth and judging our brothers and sisters with righteous judgement to help them (not bashing them). But yeah right is right and wrong is wrong. Even in the gym, as a Christian we shouldn’t be wearing bras and tights. (I’m 19 and still struggling with modesty as well. Not because I believe it’s not wrong, but because I know it’s wrong and I’m struggling to let that worldly part of me go). The closer you get to God the more your views change into his and you’ll be after his heart not yours. Modesty is cover skin and not have clothes hugging your body. You can still be cute and modest without every curve presented. But we cannot sit here and try to bend the Bible into our perspective and teach it, that’s a dangerous game. Your leading others astray and to whom much is given much is required. Our bodies are temples of the Lord and for our husbands. Not eye candy to whatever man we happen to pass. Please sister we gotta do better. Yes I said we because I’m not perfect and I struggle with the very same thing.

[LaCréé.e]

I think a lot of people say stop judging me because they do not want to change.
Under no circumstances is a crop top modest. Wear one if you want to, but don't claim modesty on it.
It's also funny how you say don't have this old lady church mentality and judge people but then say if someone feels like wearing the dress with only a nipple cover they might want to check their relationship with Christ.

I can also ask you why are you judging them and feel legitimate to then

[mimi_j]

I see it as the closer you draw to God, the more He convicts you about things. It could be different things but He’s always working on His time. I dress modestly but seeing others, Idk what’s going on there. I pray for them, if the Lord leads them to ask me questions, guide them but ultimately that’s the Holy Spirit’s job

[InfoMania]

we do modesty for Christ, so we should do modesty according to His preferences. we do as Christ wants us to do, or what He says is right, not what we think is right. ❤
