aryzgreat: My dear it matters, Pastor Chris Oyakilomhe and co are leading many xtians astray. The bible said " if ur right hand will make u sin cut it off, if ur eyes will make u sin, pluck it. likewise if a sister's dressing will make a broder sin, y not tell d sister to dress normal? how will u feel in a church listening to d word of God and ur biro falls and on bending to pick it u are seeing sister,s boobs simply because she is wearing "spaghetti hand to church, for some seconds ur mind will go off track.
Your lips need to be cut of too cos you always rain insults on people here on nairaland.If he stops them from wearing spagetty,then they wont attend his church no more.If they stop attending,how do you want the Pastos to eat??You know say tithes go reduce/stop na..

Bélla3: What is your veiw? Many pastors have come out openly without same to say ur dressing doesnt matter. Does that mean a woman can dress like a prostitude 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 nt behave as unbelievers, bt today so called ministers claim u can behave anyhow and dress anyhow. 'let there be modesty in everything'. As a woman u 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?
Rememba, the people that were first called christains, were called because people could see dat Christ they were preaching. Is Christ reflected in your life?
(CHRISTAINS ONLY)
You little hypocrite,you accused the Muslims of dressing like Arabs and you are here crying foul how christains dress or should dress.I according to u,its better to dress nude to church so that the girls can show their unmentionables to their pastors for more efficient speaking in tongues.You have many questions to answer in the other thread..stop dodging them Mrs hypocrite.

why won't it matter? when my own bible tells me that we shall know them by their fruit. your dressing is part of the fruits you bear.

Re: As A Christian, Does Your Dressing Really Matter ? by Bella3(f): 7:22pm On Aug 06, 2012
ReeOde: Good morning everyone.
To be blunt, i'm a muslim, and i am not here to antagonise your bileive, rather i only wish to share a few comments for the best.
And pls pardon me if i vexes you.

First of all, DRESSING is the issue and what does it means?
According to Oxford A.L.D (6th edition), it means: "the act of putting on clothes (the things that you wear, such as trousers/pants...)."
But the bases is, why do we have to dress?

Genesis 3:7 (The King James 2000 Version) - "And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were NAKED; and they sewed fig leaves together, and they made themseleves aporns". And so on Genesis 3:10-11.
Further more, in Genesis 3:21, "Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God MAKE COATS OF SKIN, AND CLOTHED THEM."
From the above chapter/verses, it is now known to us that the essence of dressing is to clothed ourselves from our unclothedness.
NAKED on its own is another topic which we have to understand. We often think that our breast and our sexual organs are what constitute or defines our private parts or unclothedness but we are wrong and that is absolutely where the problem lies.
WHAT IN OUR BODY MAKES US NAKED?
It is stated in the Qur'an (Allah's words reveal through Angel Jubriel [Gabrel] p.b.u.h) and also explaned in the Hadith (sayings of Prophet Muhammed, peace be up him [s.a.w]). That's why our women have to dress up in Hijabs (such that it will cover their bossom).
From our worldly desires and influences, some amongst us are now trying to blend in their wears to suit that of civilization which is leading us astray.
In Islam, every part of a woman's body is her unclothedness (but it's enough for her to reveal her face, hands [wrist]); as for a man, starting from is knee to his chest. It is subjected to further explanation as explaned in the Hadith.
To sum it all, in Islam, i must concentrate more on the women, everything that makes up their beauty is their unclothedness (even their body shapes) and that is why they are not allowed to wear a fitted cloth.

...DOES OUR DRESSING REALLY MATTERS?
Yes it does, and why?
From Psychological analysis, one's body becomes emotional inclined, attracted, moved, erected...from seeing the unclothedness (beauty) of an oppsite sex, even same sex probably he or she is more beautiful or handsome than we are. These mixed feeling brings about temptation that could actually make one go extra mile in order to satisfy and balance his/her thin and thick. We can do and undo as a result of that.
Also, the young ones live by what they see and what they learn from us, and when we get it wrong, then we are distroying their future and as well, others to come.

A Sin doesn't stay stagnant, it increases and get worse. Starting from Adam and Eve, the forbidden friut, and now it is Adultery, Fornication, Shirk, Homosexuality e.t.c.
We just have to be fearful of God, separate His want from ours in order to get it right. Let's try to imagine the dangers our future generation could incure from our own err.

We have our views, may God guide us aright and forgive me if i've in anyway commented wrong. Ameen

Re: As A Christian, Does Your Dressing Really Matter ? by tpia5: 8:19pm On Aug 06, 2012
whether dressing like europeans or wearing japanese kimonos- just show some class when you dress, instead of radiating low self esteem, jeez.

iheanyi4u: 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!
Ths is jst d answer. Perfect one.
Re: As A Christian, Does Your Dressing Really Matter ? by akagaba(f): 12:09am On Aug 07, 2012
The OP: 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.
We ar sharin views and opinions here so ths ur approach of abusing and calling names (lawles xtians) is honestly vry unreasonable and childish. Present ur points vividly& do nt display ur weird attitude here. It really shows hw 'butiful' ur upbringng was and hw "inteligent" u ar. Next time, examine ur brain be4 using it.

Trut to tell, u ar an agent of darknes 4pointin ur dead fingers on a true man of God. Pst Chris Oyakhilome is blesing lives all over d world and turning many in2 righteousnes and u ar here babbling ur mouth and displayin ur daftiness, ignorance and emptines. Pst Chris calls on evrybody, he says "come d way u ar" whether a prostitute, thief, murderer! Just come like dat 4 its only in d church dat u can be cleansed. In a matter of time, d word takes hold of their lives and they begin to act and appear accordingly. Its God dat wil judge ths evil said abt men of God.

Mr_Anony: ^^^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


so grace allows us to dress naked shebi?
Temple of God shld be naked abi?
Mini skirt nd spag inside church?
Graceeee indeed
may God forgiv al of u.

N.B they only go to church for baptism nd marriages.

there's also heavy immigration from countries in the former communist blocs which were officially atheist.
Re: As A Christian, Does Your Dressing Really Matter ? by tintingz(m): 4:40pm On Aug 30, 2012
@bella and tpia, the origin religion that started in america and europe is christianity. . .so mostly every citizens of the past in america and europe are christians from the begining before their generation some change religion some turn to atheist while some remain christians. . .like you(bella) said some atheist still visit church for baptism not because of any peace buh christianity is what their greatfathers practise. . .and right now Islam is the fastest growing religion both in america and europe (bbc, cnn, guiness books of record)
