My beloved wife has been a good teacher. Flawed as are we all, but the best person and woman I'll ever know. From what she teaches me about the female psyche (the insecurities that govern much of their behavior and paths they take) I would think women would be the least tolerant of the immodesty...

Many shoes sent my way... lol... none of them by me Missus though... she's not a chucker. Smile.

Here, I'll start... Look at how repressed this poor woman is! The nerve of society making her hide who and what she is and her femininity is lost in the materials... Dreadful! How about this poor woman?

Care to exercise our liberty here in opposition to the tyranny above? I mean, if we are {PROUD} of our liberty and it is of no consequence or does no harm? Why not post pictures of what is accepted attire in modern times here and now (both male and female). Any takers? More importantly do you...

Agreed. It is the satanic knock-off of resurrection meant to confuse humanity about eternity. So someone knew something Cleopatra knew 6 thousand years ago... so what? Demons who existed way before then and witnessed old Cleo can whisper into human ears any detail they saw as though it were...

Eretz! Mazel tov! Aliyah?

Hebrews 9:27–28 (NIV84) 27Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, 28so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him. There have been...

That and your expressions reveal a limitation in the English language. Which is fine. It just helps us not to jump to conclusions as if you were fluent in English. That's all. :wave

The taboo on exposure of legs was also applied to men, btw. This was one reason women were not allowed in the workforce since men had to trice up their robes exposing their legs to do work unencumbered by the robes they wore in those days. Perhaps the not looking out the window had this in mind.

Good point. But if I were to post a modern photo of women who have Christ today, I'd probably be investigated at the very least for as infraction of the board rules (and rightly so). Point being, we've taken liberty meant to further the kingdom and abused it instead to further personal freedoms...

But bear in mind... Galatians 6:8 (NIV84) 8The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

And as far as head coverings / beards in the OP / title... I'd say modern society has gone well past these matters and for the OP to serve as a springboard into what the modern Christian must deal with is NOT bizarre or irrelevant... just the development of the conversation. Lest we all sit in...

Great point! Legalism by any other name is just as blinding.

So says you. I disagree.

1 John 1 (NIV84) 5This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. 7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have...

True. But remember the OT is the NT concealed, and the NT is the Old Testament revealed.

O.I.C.

Um, if you are looking for specific anatomic references in the bible to mention what biology has labeled "ankles" you will not find it... the scriptures were written in a time of languages and sciences in flux... the upper arms Jesus was nailed to the cross through for example were said to be...

We were freed from our slavery to sin. Now we are free to do good. Shall we revert to our slavery in Egypt (so to speak) for the meat on the tables?

Yes we have liberty in Christ. Point is... do we expend that liberty on seeing just how wicked we can be (or how close to the line of demarcation we can come)... or do we use that freedom to serve the Master all the more? I am not judging anyone. Nor am I suggesting a maximum requirement for...
