1 | What's happening in the heart? | 1 Sam 16:7 | cuhigher | 192954 | ||
Rom 13:10 Love does no harm to its neighbor. 1 Samuel 16:7 But the Lord said to Samuel, Look not on his appearance or at the height of his stature, for I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees; for man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart. My question is regarding immodest attire being worn by women who consider themselves to be Christians. It seems that by the time she is an adult, any young woman (Christian or not) would well know that the majority of men are very vulnerable to sexual sin/temptation. I've been told that it's possible for women to continue to dress in a sexually provocative manner even when their heart is right. Agree or disagree? |

2 | What's happening in the heart? | 1 Sam 16:7 | Hank | 192955 | ||
cuhigher - Welcome to SBF and thanks for your question. May I recommend that you pay no attention to the misinformed person who told you that it is all right for a Christian woman to dress in a sexually provocative manner? Ask him to cite book, chapter and verse in God's word that even remotely suggests such a preposterous thing. Read what Paul wrote to Timothy concerning women in the church with regard to their apparel and behavior (1 Timothy 2:8-15); and 1 Peter 3:1-3 teaches that wives maintain chaste and respectful behavior, and condemns ostentation while enjoining modesty and meekness. ..... I fail to see that the two verses you quoted in your question have anything to do with immodest feminine vesture. --Hank | ||||||
3 | What about the pastor? | 1 Sam 16:7 | cuhigher | 192958 | ||
Thanks Hank for your reply. I quoted 1 Sam 16:7 because it was used as a justification for the immodest attire, and Rom 13:10 because I believe it shows that someone with a right spirit would not knowingly dress in a way as to cause their brother to stumble. Follow-up question: what would be your take on a pastor who allows immodestly dressed women to lead worship and teach young children in the church, because he insists that even though they need to mature they have a heart to serve God, and he doesn't want to offend them? |

4 | What about the pastor? | 1 Sam 16:7 | Hank | 192960 | ||
This pastor you alluded to, is he a wimp? One wonders whether a pastor so timid that he fears reproving anyone who strays lest he offend is capable of shepherding his flock. I'd suggest he be invited to read Matthew 23:13-36 and follow Jesus' example. Obviously Jesus had no hang ups about offending the scribes and Pharisees when He pronounced the seven woes upon them for their wrong doing. It's fasionable in our time to soft-peddle everything and to water down what little truth one dares to speak. This ignominious practice has regrettably spilled over into the church and church leadership. It certainly sounds as though the pastor you allude to has caught the bug himself. --Hank | ||||||
