Bible Question (short): is it wrong to wear fine clothing |
Question (full): I read alot about men and women wearing shorts,wondering if it's ok or not and that we shouldn't wear things which would make others lust for us.Is it right for one to avoid going to places where he/she will be exposed to people who wear revealing clothing in fear of lusting over them?In doing this is this a step to becoming a better christian?or should we learn to not lust even after being exposed to men or women in revealing clothing?For where is the test if we are not faced with the temptation and choose to refuse it or fall for it.Finally is it wrong to wear fine clothing which makes us look and feel good and attractive to the opposite sex? |
