Are bathing suits immodest?

[lovely]

Okay Tim, I am going to sleep after this...I mean it! :D

You know, my husband and I just watched a video from PBS about African farmers, and I think that some were wearing the reed tied.

I don't think that simple obedience is the same as spoon feeding...in fact, I think it is a training for having a heart given over to God in obedience. I am going to have to think about this and post on it tomorrow. I have some other thoughts, but I am getting too tired to think.

I think when we, as Christians at a broad level, start modeling Jesus and His nature and character, instead of trying to force morality on the world, then we will see more change and less rebellion.
So yes, most bathing suits for woman are immodest and ruin our testimony. First we have to remove the log from our own eyes before we can help others.

amen!

I don't want to show my daughter that swimming and playing in a tiny piece of cloth in front of men and boys in a public pool is modest behavior, it's not. I find it forward and flirtatious in a young girl who isn't mindful or aware of herself (she needs training), and I hate to think of who may be watching her. Anyway, I think it's up to believers to influence the culture to Christ's ways, to be set apart, and it wasn't long ago that the standard of modesty was very different..

PRAISE THE LORD! Amen!

Some are immodest.
Some are very conservative.

Is a male wearing "speedo" style swim wear, immodest?
Yes.
Are string bikinis immodest? yes.

Telling the truth isn't being rude.
You know, if you would search the scriptures, and submit yourself to God, and resist the devil, who tempts us all, you would see I'm not saying rude things.

OK, I forgot another reason. TO FIT IN WITH THE WORLD.
Why not wear knee length shorts, and a bra, and a t shirt, when you swim?
It all gets wet, you can swim in them, and the bra covers up better.

Wow.... you know...this just....really goes to show....how rude people here really are anymore....I'm out.

You know...some of us were brought up not knowing better. Some of us were not as educated as others...and heck if a one piece is not modest enough with a tee-shirt over it...I guess I am on my way to hell huh?

Thank you for clearing that up for me....really appreciate it.

No, wearing immodest clothes won't send you to hell, rejecting Jesus Christ as your Saviour and Lord of your heart and mind, WILL.

Why do you call yourself LOST lamb? Hey, I hope you don't leave, don't go away just because you feel uncomfortable. Maybe Jesus is trying to tell you something, and He's using other people to get closer to your heart.

and they did not condemn me when I made mistakes, and I made plenty. I am thankful that they loved me and gave me gentle instruction.

34: And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35: For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
36: For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
37: Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
38: Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

I don't think hearing the truth is condemnation, it is good to know the truth.
I had many, many things to learn, and a lot of things to change, in my life, the more I read the bible.
Our Lord God loves us, and is merciful to us, but he also demands holiness and abstinence from worldly things, you know.
The bible clearly says that. It's hard, sometimes, to yank your roots OUT of the world, but, you MUST.

I would also just make the point that you will never wear modest enough cloths for a man not to lust, they will find a way even wearing a burka.
