Or is he only laying it on the hearts of of certain women to dress according to certain standards of modesty and ignoring the rest? That's confusing and not at all logical. Why would God give mixed messages? One way is either right all the time in his eyes, or it's not- or it really doesn't matter to him at all and people pretty much make up their own minds about it.

I do know godly born-again women who wear pants. That is their right to wear what they want and I do not judge them for it. I do not push my modesty views on anyone else. That is between me and God. I never said God told women to never to wear pants. No implications were made that I am better than anyone else by the way I dress. What I said was it would be immodest for me to wear pants because the Lord specifically laid it on my heart not to. I also said if you are convicted about something, it is better to obey God. By all means, dress how you want, but I will follow what the Lord is telling me.

On one hand, you say that you know godly born-again women who wear pants and are modest, yet you go on to say that God has told women not wear them and we are to obey that. Are they godly, or not? What you wear doesn't matter in the slightest to me, but what does bother me is when people imply that they are better or more Christian than someone else because of wearing long skirts. These are the superficial things that do not impress me at all and I don't think God is much impressed either. Extreme views on modesty can be just as much a source of pride as is flaunting layers of make-up, an expensive mink coat or flashy convertible.

I believe we must obey the Lord when He tells you to do something. If you have a conviction about an area in your life (for instance, what is modest/what is not modest), it is better to obey. I grew up wearing shorts, pants, etc.. As an adult around age 38 prior to being born-again, I was deeply convicted to dress modestly. The Lord put it on my heart to stop wearing pants and shorts and to wear longer dresses/jumpers that fit a bit loosely. So for me to wear pants would be immodest and displeasing to the Lord since He has clearly told me not to. After 18 years, I still have the deep conviction to dress the same. I sew most of my dresses. I have no desire to wear pants but I wear leggings under dresses in the winter and if a dress is right below the knees; although most of my dresses are mid calf and longer. I hope my explanation answers your questions.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04275995324698495412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-76199917019912807582019-08-01T11:19:15.926-05:002019-08-01T11:19:15.926-05:00When my family goes out somewhere I wear the baby ...When my family goes out somewhere I wear the baby because my husband has back issues.
