raayah: That's the problem in Christian doom, one bible with different interpretation, Jesus chased people away and some will refuse to interpret well the people he actually chased away. I still believe that all these different doctrine in different churches is just a way for some churches to claim holy than thou A means of division in Christian realm |

raayah:By your 2nd comment your type is clear: i wonder you has brainwash you this far. Your type of christianity is christianity of convenience . You read the bible and select wwwhat you want to believe . You leave out the sacrificial parts. Read your bible in full and know what the scripture says about GODly appearance. |

Really something most churches should be worried about... Actually witness one in church today. She wore a fleeing gown and as i was about to sit down her legs where wild open and all i could do was to turn my eyes off quickly off what i saw. I think churches should enforce dressing laws because church is a place of orderliness where people go to worship God and not to be distracted by demons that comes to church. 2 Likes |

God will hold the leaders of those churches responsible for not reprimanding their members. If as religious leaders we find it comfortable to HAMMER on paying TITHES, FIRST FRUITS,etc. Then, they should tell their members to dress decently. CLAM has it all over the church premises that members should dress properly. MFM preaches against it, so also Deeper Life and RCCG( Redemption Camp not branches). If you have a robust relationship with GOD not your G.O, there are some spiritual archives God will allow you have access to that will make you drop those things. Personally, I didn't have issues with wearing trouser pants. For years I was always asking myself that "'will males in Scotland that wear skirts go to hell?"' To my surprise, Holy Spirit then (In one of those years) asked me a question that goes thus "' Between the tradition (or law) of men and the law of God, which is superior ?'' 2 Likes 1 Share |

This is so true,we have Westernised Christianity,they turn the bible on it head |
| Re: WOMEN, The Major Problem Of Churches In Terms Of Dressing by synergycom19: 2:25pm On Mar 01, 2015 |
This is very true,we have Westernised Christianity,they even gave Women Equal rights in the churches,like in western countries,the bible says the women should sit at the back of the church. But this days they walk around in revealing dressings,making men to sin and of course PRETEND THAT THEY ARE FINE WITH IT. That's why there is no Power of GOD in most churches, demons even goes to this churches and sometimes stay there permanently and go out after accomplishing there mission |

While we all stand naked in the eyes of God and have nothing to hide from him it is important to dress respectfully. This does not go to cultural extremes but to basic standards of decency. For myself (although I would NEVER criticize anyone for going in Jeans and T shirt - I do not know their circumstances OR reasons and God can make that determination infinitely better than ANY of us) I would feel uncomfortable attending Church without at least a shirt AND tie. This would not prevent me from attending if I was attending unexpectedly (very rare) but I would be somewhat uncomfortable for myself. So while we should not take this to extremes of mandating dress codes etc we should of course dress respectfully and appropriately for Church. |

What would Jesus do.? It is funny how people who claim to be Christians are very very selective with their religion on issues of sex. Jesus said "judge not that ye be not judged" Does that apply only in some cases and not other. Like the Pharisees of Jesus time many so called Christians concern themselves with what is outside rather than inside. Would Jesus send anyone away from his Church because of dressing. Throughout his teaching he was at pains to emphasize the internal and not the external but here some jokers appoint themselves judge over what is "decent dressing" . How many of these so called Chritians have spent one day of their lives feeding the hungry and clothing the naked or motherless? Instead they go about like Pharisees spouting judgments.Hypocrites. Have you found that for which you will sell all your belongings? If you have not you are only wasting your time. For many being a Christian is just like belonging to a club or being a Man U supporter,without any understanding of Christianity. Are you without sin? No! but like all hypocrites your own sins have "but". There is mitigation in your own eyes that gives you the right to point fingers?. Uche Face your work and your salvation let God be the judge |
| Re: WOMEN, The Major Problem Of Churches In Terms Of Dressing by omonnakoda: 5:00pm On Mar 01, 2015 |
KoloOyinbo: What does "respectfully" mean. The fact that you have certain psychologicall issues with regard to dressing is neither here nor there. In the Jewish Tradition men would sometimes worship God by dancing half dressed.King David danced like this on one occasion causing his wife to despise him and God punished her for this. There is no directive from God on how people should dress to worship him.What you have is culturally acceptable practices and I would agree that people should stick to a convention simply to keep peace and avoid distractions or arguments. Clearly wearing a Tie is a cultural/class thing. The innocence with which Adam and Eve walked naked is still possible. Even among children you will find that children from certain parts of society in Lagos e.g develop "shame" about unclothedness at a much later age in poorer classes. Why is this the case?? Because we are not in the habit of thinking deeply and examining things no one questions why it is that unclothedness is associated with "Shame" . Is shame natural or is it something we are trained to have. Who is affected by unclothedness the naked person or the watcher? It certainly was the case in much of SE Nigeria in colonial times and in what is Now Akwa Ibom that women who were old enough to marry went around pretty much naked. So this idea that being ashamed of unclothedness is a universal human thing across societies or that it is sinful must be questioned. |

omonnakoda: Yes I agree with what you are saying. It is essentially what I have said. I have seen wedding ceremonies at Nudist Colonies where all are naked! Respect (this is my point) is firstly relative and secondly in the eyes of man not God who sees us all (as I stated) revealed completely before him. You seem to have followed very well my point. |
| Re: WOMEN, The Major Problem Of Churches In Terms Of Dressing by vooks: 5:29pm On Mar 01, 2015 |
My Bishop, He says he will preach the Word to you till out of your conviction you dress up. That's infinitesimally better than chauvinistic sanctimonious holier-than-thou negroes who have appointed themselves moral police and imagine they be doing God a favor in the process. |
| Re: WOMEN, The Major Problem Of Churches In Terms Of Dressing by omonnakoda: 5:38pm On Mar 01, 2015 |
KoloOyinbo:The important thing is the state of mind one may be naked from humility and submissiveness or from lewdness and lasciviousness of mind. One may also don a suit and tie with similar extremes of mind e.g showiness,haughtiness etc only God sees these things My point is what is "respectful" for you may be the OPPOSITE to another. So i do not agree with your point on "respectful" since that has no definition. To me those things are distractions. Jesus taught the primary duty is to seek the Kingdom of God. What is this? He gave so many parables to address this issue. Dressing is totally irrelevant in my opinion |

| Re: WOMEN, The Major Problem Of Churches In Terms Of Dressing by KoloOyinbo(m): 5:53pm On Mar 01, 2015 |
omonnakoda: OH I see what you mean. Yes respectful to one may well be disrespectful to another! It is relative. You correctly state that the important thing is the state of mind. If I attended a service in a foreign country and dressed (in my ignorance of their customs) in what they considered as 'disrespectful' then I am not at fault and would indeed hope that they would be charitable enough to realise that not every stranger would be aware of this. To dress however in a manner that I am fully aware others may find 'disrespectful' (for whatever motive, perhaps I am confrontational or mischievous etc) would be wrong - not in the dressing (which you correctly say is irrelevant) but in the intention. Thanks for helping me clarify my position. |

Wow am so excited... jxt returned from church to see my thread on front page...with more than a thousand views n so many comments... Wow... Am really marching forward this month.. Indeed out of my belly shall flow rivers of living water... John 7:38...the world is actually waiting for me to manifest...ROM. 8:19... Wow... Itx amazing... Indeed I hav a women ministry... I luv women so much n GOD is indeed using me to pull many women to Christ n to inspire many too...my heart beats for them... Finally on dressing, I will luv to say that, church is like hospital... Sick people come in to get treated...Come as u are but make sure u get treated so that U DON'T REMAIN THE WAY YOU CAME... Babies should Learn to walk n not to be imbeciles ... Churches should alow harlots n runs girls to come the way they are but pastors should use the WORD of God to flog those unrepentant harlots(both harlots in heart n harlots in dressing) so that they can change... 2 Timothy 3:16...the word of God is also a rod for reproof n correction ... Proverbs 23:13...spare the rod and spoil the child.. Jesus talked about the content n container... Matt 23:25-26....He recommends that salvation should start from within a cup to the outside... SALVATION IS 3DIMENSIONAL...STARTS FROM THE SPIRIT( AT ALTAR CALL, THE DAY U GET BORN AGAIN ), THEN THE SOUL(WHEN THE MIND IS RENEWED AS U FEED ON THE WORD OF GOD IN CHURCH AND PERSONALLY) AND FINALLY THE BODY( WHAT U DO WITH YOUR BODY THE TEMPLE OF GOD)... Watch out for my book "3-D SALVATION" by Berepiki Boma Otonye.... It will shake this universe... Itx a mystery... The Spirit goes through salvation INSTANTLY the moment u become born again.. The soul takes a renewing process or character transformation n conversion process, this one is NOT INSTANT.... THE BODY CAN ONLY BE TAMED, it will go through salvation from earthly body(corruptible) to celestial body(incorruptible) during Rapture, this is INSTANT... Just to wet ur throat, this is jxt a snippet into the deep things of the Spirit.... Only people that have a good knowledge of the word of God will understand what am saying... All the scriptural references are available in my forthcoming book... So women should sit up... GOD is interested in what we do with our bodies even in dressing...especially when we've been in a church for a while...There are babies coming to the church, u should be a good model for them to emulate.... DRESS LIKE A KINGDOM LADY.... ELEGANT NOT SEXY, BEAUTIFUL, BOLD, DECENT, ALL THE DELECATE PARTS Of YOUR BODY WELL COVERED... LEMME ASK WOMEN A QUESTION.. IF U WERE A PRESIDENT OF A COUNTRY HOW WILL U DRESS?....U AR A DAUGHTER of ZION...even a female councillor or commissioner dresses like an HONORABLE because that's what they are... Imagine minister of finance displaying her thighs n cleavage wen she's addressing the nation..... DRESS LIKE AN HONORABLE QUEEN... Fresh believers follow wat u do and not wat u say...A fresh believer or prospective believer can dress anyhow but mature believers/workers should guide them by displaying the Kingdom model...We should nt scare babies with laws... We should display good dressing n tell them the dangers of indecent dressing... I bet u, they won't remain the way they came except they are demon possessed... Lol... If that's the case then pastors need to cast out that seductive spirit plaguing some unrepentant n stubborn ladies.... I rep Dominioncity pH.... Uniport alumni... Fanx....you can send me a mail if u so desire... bomaberepiki@yahoo.com... Thanx |

What is the difference between those that dress indecently to church and those that cover all there body from head to toe while going to church and still go back to being wicked and screwing around after church service. A woman covering all her body or even dressing decently won't even cub lust. After all people who work in offices where they dress modestly are still sexually harassed. Let people dress in indecent ways and come to church and by Gods grace they will change and come to a better spiritual understanding..Its the holy spirit that can change people and not the pastor warning and shouting about indecent dressing. At least its better they keep coming to church regardless off how they dress having in mind that the possibility of them changing totally is there than for them to be lost and end up in hell. People should realize the church is a house of love and u can't change those u don't love. The love of God is sufficient for every one regardless of how they dress and its that same love that will end up changing them. The church is a hospital for the sick and the broken and not a mueseum for good people. It still doesn't make sense covering all ur body in church when u have a wicked heart and still screw around, u become like a mummy that is wrapped on the outside head to toe but rotten on the inside. Don't get me wrong its good u dress decently to church BUT yet again as christains I believe we should strive more to develop our hearts in love for our neighbour and for God for when you work towards loving God and being a better christain it sure will reflect in the way you dress. |
