Bible Question: 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? |
Bible Answer: Hi shadow thorn, Wecome to the forum. I think that a believer should be an exquisite dresser; we are ambassadors for Christ and should be the best representatives possible. 2 Cor. 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. Col. 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. If one ties this together with the following it’s hard to miss the way I see it. Romans 14:23 (B) for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. Dress as unto the Lord and you are on the right track, CDBJ |
