As A Christian, Does Your Dressing Really Matter ? by Bella3(f): 9:58pm On Jul 26, 2012 |
What is your view? Many pastors have come out openly without same to say your dressing doesn't matter. Does that mean a woman can dress like a prostitute and nothing is wrong with it? And a man can dress like a thief, a drunkard and drug addict and nothing is wrong with it? The bible says, do not behave as unbelievers, but today so called ministers claim you can behave anyhow and dress anyhow. 'let there be modesty in everything'. As a woman you wear things that make you fake, then where is you modesty? The fact that oyinbo dresses anyhow, does that make it acceptable in our society? This my view though, what is yours as a true Christian? Remember, the people that were first called Christians, were called because people could see dat Christ they were preaching. Is Christ reflected in your life? (CHRISTIANS ONLY) 11 Likes |

If christianity is a community-practice, then it matters because your behavior affects that of the community. if christianity is a self-practice, then it doesn't matter. But christianity is both community and self based discipline, so while you as an individual can do what you want and it does not offend yourself, you also have a responsibility to the larger community so they are not misled. 8 Likes |

^^^Perfect answer. lol. At Op, the truth is that grace allows us to dress however we like, God accepts us as we are, but then as people led by the Spirit of God, modesty is the watchword. "Everything is permissible for me"--but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible for me"--but I will not be mastered by anything. 1 Corinthians 6:12 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6L7v6IY_tKI&feature=relmfu 3 Likes |

Ok I think it matters cos we are the light of the world and we have to shine in everything we do. Now its ok to come as you are but its not ok to remain the same way you came. The Word is supposed to effect changes in all aspect of your life including your dressing! 8 Likes |

^^^ When a Christian sister/brother starts to dress like a wayward and perverted person, I don't see the fruit of the Spirit in such. When our Christian brothers/sisters dress nicely in their best to churches on Sundays and you can't tell the difference between a pros.titute and a christian sister, then I doubt the genuineness of such Christians. When a Christian sister dresses to seduce and/or exposes her chest to men outside/within the church environment, then we have a problem in the body of Christ. What then shall we say? The bible gives exhortation for moderation/moderate dressing without judging Christians based on outward dressing/appearance. Do I need say more? 2 Likes |

You Christians are just a Bunch of lawless pips who just want do away with Gods laws. Saying Jesus never condemned bad dressing , well that's b'coz women weren't dressed half naked at his time. When you watch plays about the life of Jesus Christ on chrismas , do you see how Mary and other women were dressed? Or imagine a lady dressed in mini skirt and a backless cleavage revealing top approach Jesus for counsel , do you think he will support such mode of dress and pass it off as being covered by his grace? You all just finding excuses to blend-in with the ways of the world ; the ways of Lucifa. 10 Likes |

I mean He(Jesus) was approached by prostitutes, adulterers, thieves and so on. Am yet to find a place in which He condemned them! Nobody is looking for any excuse to blend in. We might be in this world but we are not of this world. Like I said earlier your dressing has to represent Christ cos we are His ambassadors 2 Likes |
