Dressing Modestly
I remember having a conversation with a lady and this conversation has been repeated many times with many others over the years about modest dressing and how it is important especially for a Christian and her response was that she was free to dress however she wants as God does not look at the outside appearance but that he looks at the heart......I then explained to her how that verse was taken out of context and provided scriptural and rational arguments as to why modest dressing was essential...she then brought up freedom of choice and summer as to why she dressed the way she did at times then in a clever twist, she asked me to define modest dressing and after composing myself I asked her how she would love to be addressed and what she would like to attract....she said she did not care as long as she was comfortable......then I asked her if she was aware of her responsibilities as a Christian.....her answer shocked me as she reasoned that men's lust was men's fault and it wasn't up to her to 'control' lustful men....finally in a bid to end the conversation I told her that she was right, people should defeat their lust and we can only do so much however causing others to sin is grave....and we must not make the battle hard for others if we are to be like Jesus.......of course we agreed to disagree but this issue of dressing is becoming more of a thing now.....May God help us
