In your mind, you really think Jesus when He appears, a human flesh will be something to reckon with in His presence? Let me say this: No man or woman will go to Hell because of what He or She wears. Rather, any man who has refused to accept Jesus as His Lord and Saviour, such will be cast aside into the abyss.

Whilst modest dressing is to be encourage, lets not make religion out of it. For man looks at the outside, God sees and works with the inside. Clearly Jesus said: It is not worth enters a man that corrupts Him but what comes out of Him - Think what this really means.

Which pastor would expose his hypocrisy by preaching about modest dressing when he is dressed like a p.i.m.p... his wife be sitting up there dressed like a retired model trying to make a comeback ...and the daughter dressed like a hooker? Not only do most of them turn a blind eye but they are the promoters of vanity.For sure some don't attend church if they can't keep up with the fashion parade but there are many more who can't attend because their clothing is not fine enough and they are afraid to be refused entry.To each his own because after all...most churches are really business first and a venue to showcase fashion.

Adam and Eve were created by God, God did not put clothes on them.
The Angels are always with us and around us, whether we are fully dressed, swimming, bathing or unclad.
The Pure in heart sees all things as pure.
It is usually the condemned who bring accusations to condemn others (Remember the story or the woman caught in adultery).
The pure do not condemn even those the world condemns.

There are levels of knowledge and stages in understanding. There is a path called wisdom. Walk in it.

True, no man can stand before God in flesh, for it shall be expelled on the last day. Accepting Jesus is just a step to the kingdom. If after accepting Jesus, you continue to do what is wrong in his sight, it is rewriting your name among the heathen.

Look at two oranges. One green and the other yellow. Which one looks ripe? What comes from within always defines the outside. What is displayed on the outside is a reflection of the mindset of a believer.

Please don't allow yourself to be carried away by this belief. Jesus himself said and I quote "But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea." If your actions or looks will make someone else fall away, his blood is on your head. Hell is real, and you don't want to end up there.

Nigerian men re the ones encouragg their wives ad babes to dress indescent, these ladies want to appease the men ad those men encourage them wit praise, the situation is already out of hand.
Re: Clothing And The Believer In A 'Modern World' by Kay17: 3:02pm On Apr 28, 2013
It would be unfair for the OP to cast non Christians in the bad light of immorality and savagery. It is true that modern ppl expose their bodies, and hide behind thin veiled clothes, but they view their bodies differently. Unlike the Christians and muslims who see the human body as scarred by imperfection, unholy and shameful, and hence it must be hidden.

But most non-Christians see their bodies as models of beauty, that should be admired, flaunteds hared just like any artwork.

So if the underlying beliefs are very important, otherwise opinions like the OP which aren't well informed will be prejudicial.

Re: Clothing And The Believer In A 'Modern World' by Nobody: 3:12pm On Apr 28, 2013
A true believer is convicted by the Holy Spirit to dress decently. If you are not dressing decently, it is an outward sign of an unfinished inward work. Surrender to the Holy Spirit of God and He will teach you how to dress well.
Dressing well does not mean dressing expensively. Sadly, that has become common with the male folks. I think the clergy are culprits for error of omission. They simply don't tell their congregation. Probably because they do not know themselves.
Also, dressing well as a lady does not mean wearing wrapper when you are 16 or so, and it certainly does not mean no earrings (because you think earrings are idols or so). I am not against the fact that if you feel you dont like earrings and make up, you should not do away with them. But, when you tell me that make up and earrings were only used by Jezebel and because she is a bad woman, i would not use make up and earrings. That's gibberish. Dorn what makes you fine and presentable. Not what make you look like a doll baby or an 'mgbeke'. Laughs.
Just my opinion.

very true. The one that is most baffling is the dresses worn by pregnant married women these days. They dont want to leave anything to imagination these days. God help us guys.
Sincerely, it is stupid for a man to pressure his wife into wearing skimpy rags in public. She can wear that when both of you are doing your thing, but not in the full glare of everyone.

You always hear this lie peddled about. I don't know of any man that will permit his wife or child walk around naked. Girlfriend to which he has no comitment, perhaps. Some ladies believe this lie. Ask them to truthfully say where it comes from and you discover that its source is a warped mind, peer pressure or modern media acting on behalf of sordid interest groups. If any man orders or approves of your public n.u.d.i.t.y then the relationship is over. You've transited from a being to a product or posession.

Kay, let's imagine that I have 2 chocolate bars with me. I unwrap one half-way and throw it on the floor, while I leave the wrapper on the second one and throw it on the floor too. If I now ask you to select one, which one will you pick?

Kamsy10: In church today, you'll find the consciousness of tithing more than the consciousness of dressing.
What the pastor emphasizes in church is very important.
Dressing of harlot was mentioned in d old testament, and so was tithing. But today, tithing is upheld while the other old testament laws are considered outdated and old fashioned.
You cant go wrong with decent dressing(covering your body properly) at least on rapture day u can be sure that God wont reject u based on dressing. . Sadly we tend to cover ourselves better when going to work these days than when going to church. Lets not overstretch the grace of God
It's well with Christianity. I pray none of us miss heaven
hey,desist from such prayer cos God wl neva answer it.wake up now n face reality.why did god create hell then?n how many people do u think wl enter heaven.

Don't say what u do not know....I don't know for the Christians but the bolded is not an islamic view....human body is created in perfect form....

“We have indeed created humankind in the best of molds.”
Quran 95:4 (Surat At-Tin, The Fig)
and:
“Then We made the sperm into a clot of congealed blood; then of that clot We made a (foetus) lump; then we made out of that lump bones and clothed the bones with flesh; then we developed out of it another creature. So blessed be Allah, the best to create!”
(Quran 23:14) (Surat Al-Mu’minun, The Believers)

and:

“The work of Allah who has perfected everything (He created).
Qur’an 27:88 (An-Naml, The Ant)

and:

“He is the One Who has made perfectly everything He has created: He began the creation of human beings with clay, And made his progeny from a quintessence of the nature of a fluid despised: But He fashioned him in due proportion, and breathed into him something of His spirit…”
Quran 32:7-9 (As-Sajdah, the Prostration)

“By the fig and the olive, and the Mount Sina, and this city of peace (Makkah), We have indeed created humankind in the best of molds.”
