Three aspects of modesty: Attitude, Appropriateness, and Appearance

Attitude

The heart of a modest woman wants to draw attention and glory to the Lord rather than herself. She does this by letting her looks take a backseat to the good works she does for God (1 Timothy 2:10).

True beauty for the Christian woman comes from a meek and quiet spirit (1 Peter 3:4).

Appropriateness

The modest woman is not flirtatious with strangers or suggestive in any way outside marriage (Ephesians 5:3) She guards her heart from temptation and refuses to willfully be a temptation to others.

Modest dress is not enough if a woman's actions and way of speaking are immodest.

Modesty acts and dresses in a way that is appropriate for the situation and doesn't seek to show off expensive clothing (1 Timothy 2:9)

Appearance

The reason Christians wear clothes at all is to represent the sacrifice of Christ covering our sin. The first example of this is God replacing the fig leaves Adam and Eve sewed together with animal skins (Genesis 3:21) Animals shed their blood for the skins and their nakedness and shame were covered.

We want our dress to reflect this and not expose our nakedness to the world. There are many modesty standards Christians have convictions on but just sticking with Scripture, we should be sufficiently covered, not seeking to dress like the opposite sex, and practice moderation in how costly the clothes are. Our clothing shouldn't distract from our character or service of others.

This is a joyful way to be set apart for God. It's a beautiful thing to dress like we belong to God's Kingdom and be different from those without Christ.

I am into gender roles today and excited. As women in Christ, we get to play the role the Church plays to Jesus. We humbly obey, recieve blessings, revere, serve, and adore our Lord and Master who bought us with His own blood. It is a powerful witness of the gospel when we embrace our feminine role.
prepare for a very hated yet truthful reminder .
WHO is the head of CHRIST . THE FATHER . WHO IS the head of the church , CHRIST IS
who is the head of the woman , the man is . THEY dont like that .
but i seem to notice that godly women seem to have no problem with this GOD ordained pattern .
IT seems to be the REBELLIOUS who hate not only the man as the head of the woman
THEY hate the entire PATTERN OF GOD HIMSELF . ISNT it odd
that the feminist movement who procliams all it does about women , SEEMS TO HAVE ZERO problem
with men , IF SAID MEN CLAIM TOBE WOMEN . aint that ODD .

actually that would apply to man as well . THINK about it .
WE desire , OR SHOULD DESIRE no PRAISE OF MEN , but rather THAT GOD BE HONORED

would not do as they do for the eyes and praise of men , BUT RATHER FOR GOD , WHO SEES what they DO IN SECRETE
and shall reward them OPENLY . Aint that lovely sister .

and
be not as men pleasers .
WHEN you do , when you give , when you pray , BE NOT as the phrarisees
THEY DO as they DO TO BE SEEN and praised OF MEN .
when you do as you do , DO it in secrete , let not your left hand know what the right hand doeth
SOUND not a trumpet before thee .
Many do as they do to be seen of men , to have the praise of men , to be honored of men . AND they do have their reward
and it wont be GOOD either .
GOD knows the heart of every one . HE knows WHY we do as we do , WHY and what WE JUSTIFY .
AND HE IS never gonna change and adapt to our wicked ways either . NO matter what satans interfaith
or anyone tries to say . Many love and have the love of the world in them . and when i say many
i talk about christendom . cause every one else ONLY HAS THE LOVE OF THE WORLD IN THEM . Every religoin is false
CEPT those whose faith be IN CHRIST JESUS . ANd if that offends this place or any other , I REFUSE to apologize .
My time here is coming to an end sister . as i warned in my last days at worthy
IT has come here too . They will silence my voice . BUT THEY CANNOT silence the TRUTH .

Western women of the past were simply expected by the culture to be feminine, submit to their husbands, and keep house. But passively going along with that trend made them prime candidates for feminist dogma.

When women see married life, children, homemaking, and feminity as boring, dull, insignificant, and less valuable, even homemakers can feel insecure, lost, and lack confidence.

No!

Femininity is fun, creative, spicy, alluring, sexy, and did mention fun?

Marriage is an incredible blessing---an opportunity to invest in a man and watch him grow into a confident desirable man of God through your support!

Children? You are shaping eternity through them!

Homemaking? The most free, rewarding, and creative job I've ever had.

I lacked confidence in the start of my housewife journey and some hag even said I wasn't pulling my weight in the marriage.

No! Just... no

Rise up, woman of God! Your virtue, your wisdom, your femininity, your nurture, your beauty, is the driver of invention and civilization. We would still live in caves if not for women. Men are inspired to grow and invent things to help us because staying alive and bearing children has always been since the Fall of man--- really really hard!

Never feel bad about being feminine. Never apologize for homemaking or being a housewife, or respecting your man or any of those other things that feminists say is demeaning. Never ever. God made you for a beautiful eternal purpose. It's not something to be ashamed of, as if we are not important to God's plan or society. It's an amazing privilege!

The feminine aspect and the masculine aspects are important in a marriage. The love of a wife and the love of a mother makes the world go round. My parents use to describe marriage like two mules pulling a cart, they each pull their weight. Which is not a bad analogy but actually each mule has different abilities and perspectives and when they enter marriage they unusually come with preconceived notions that are wrong. So they set themselves up to be disappointed.

High school----12 years they have to teach a little about being a spouse and a parent, but they don’t. They think that students need to be educated about sex, but that is actually putting the cart before the horse. Teaching this alone sets them up for casual sex and hit and run men and women that have “baby daddies” Men and women mindlessly and moral-lessly having babies in hit and run encounters.

A lot of times a young man that had an abusive father that beat them and their mother…. only have that for instruction and an example of what it is to be a husband and a father. So it is no surprise that the young man when he gets married will be an abusive husband and father. The bride has no idea or warning what is about to happen, she married a nice guy. How many times have I heard it from wives….He was a nice guy when I married him. Parents should talk to their young adults about how to pick a spouse.

That is why it is important for fathers and mothers to talk to and teach their children and set a good example as parents and spouses. And spouses have different rolls in all this. The housewife is a true mother position. I say “mother position” because women that work are mothers too, just tired and distracted mothers that may do their best but cannot measure up to a fulltime mother. So much changes when the wife works and none of it is good. A lot of what is wrong in society is about children that have grown up without full time mothers. Which means that the stability of society count on good mothers….How important is that? But to do that you have to keep your expense and debt within your means. I am not kidding but I have made this mistake. How important are marriages ….I read an essay from a professor that said that without marriages and sense of family we would still be in the stone ages because men would have never built houses or roads or cities ….Just have fun, drink wine, and fish and sleep in a lean to LOL.

Society leads us to go in to debt and live beyond our means and keep up with the Jones’ A lot convinces us that this is the right way. Commercials that convinces us to buy and buy. That is why parents should teach their young adults about financial responsibility and live by example. Young people should not expect to own a house and a new car to start with. That is something to work toward when you can pay cash for it, our most of it. Putting yourself in a lot of debt makes the father and mother slaves to debt and takes away from being parents. They say that most marital arguments are about bills….ergo money.

Men should not get married if they cannot afford it, which means do not have sex until they can afford what it produces. Instead they should get an education that will lead to a job with a good income. Whether it be something like accounting or a carpenter. And should save some money, because upon getting married they will have to immediately provide housing for himself and his wife. Even if they rent they have to furnish the house and pay deposits for electric and water and trash pickup etc. And for the men you need to have enough money to have vacations and fun…putting your nose to the grindstone for all of your life makes for a boring life. You will bore your wife to death.

The time for the woman to work is to save up for marriage. Once she is married she should be a fulltime mother and a wife, attentive to her husband and children. It is not only religiously correct it is logically correct. A stay at home mom should teach her daughter(s) what they need to know to be a wife and mother, cooking and housekeeping and what to expect when she has a baby. “The housewife” and a sexual partner.

Sex…..intercourse definition thereof
1 physical sexual union between a man and a woman.
2 exchange especially of thoughts or feelings : communion
3 connection or dealings between persons or groups

Notice that it includes communion and the exchange especially of thoughts or feelings. Women are the “kings” of communion and it takes time for men to comprehend at least some of it. Without communication and sex you are missing one of the ingredients in the glue that holds the marriage together. It is not the vows or the paper or religious values that holds the marriage together. Sure couples can remain together due to commitment or religious values but that makes for a loveless miserable life. Love and Communication and sex and attentiveness in equal parts make for a good marriage. And none of this is about submissiveness or domineering. Spouses should make decisions together.

Without these the marriage is headed for a slow train wreak. I have always told my sons that communication with the woman they love is like foreplay. Without communion sex will become a duty for the wife and that is not satisfying for either one. If you are watching a football game and your wife starts talking to you, pause the game and give her your full attention and more or less explore what she is saying being a participant in the conversation enough to remember it. You should stop whatever you are doing and give her your full attention. This means more to her than the topic of the conversation, it means she is the most important thing to you, person or thing. And when she is in your arms she will be a full participant. It is like they say, no one is happy unless mom is happy.

And once you make this connection you will find that she will come to you… “Come to you.” Comes to you for communication and you will sit next to each other wanting to touch and look at each other and share all your thoughts and feelings. Again look at the definition of intercourse…. “exchange especially of thoughts or feelings” It is all connected and has to be connected for a healthy marriage.

Never feel bad about being feminine.
Sadly, man-hating feminists cannot extend the same curtesy about men feeling good about being masculine.

In politics, a week before the election Trump was criticized by feminists for saying in part, ‘even if women don’t want it.’ This was twisted to suggest he’s a sexist.

In context, the rest of the story is about securing the border to protect women, some who are getting raped and killed because the border is open. It is not sexist but natural for a masculine man to provide (security) and protect women. What a messed up world we live in.

That you feel it necessary to write this reveals how totally dehumanizing the evil ideology of feminism is. God made man to be masculine and woman to be feminine. Yin to Yang. This is reality.

What is this notion of feeling bad for recognizing the Creation by the Creator?

It is only after a sustained effort by the Adversary that one's eyes and ears would be conditioned to have a negative emotional response to the reality of God's Creation; woman are feminine and men are masculine. Praise the wonder and beauty of Creation. Praise the feminine in woman. Praise the masculine in men. Praise God.

What did Jesus say in John 10:10? I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. That is a human life, abundant feminine in the woman and abundant masculine in the man. Not life dehumanized, void of the beauty and wonder of God's creation of masculine and feminine.

The women in my family are strong and beautiful. I care about them a great deal but I noticed that the married ones who took on the burden of leadership in their marriages suffered for it, including my Mom. Those unmarried pursued independence but seemed unhappy with that as well.

My Mom didn't head the family just to be some boss babe. She felt she must have a career and lead us in order to give us a great start in life. But I saw the physical and mental strain this put on her. I saw that she honestly resented it at times.

We are tempted as women to envy the respect that men get. But are we willing to put up with as much crap as they do without putting the burden of leadership down? And if we are, is it worth the toll it takes on our minds and bodies?

The burden of leading the family wasn't always this great thing for my Mom and I saw this. Nor did financial independence or success salvage the lonely childlessness of many other women in my family.

The reality is that sometimes you want things not to be all on you all the time. But often, women can't. This is not how God wanted us to live. While it may be necessary at times, God's best will always be that women are sacrificially lead and are protected by a man they can
trust.

Well said.
Proof that feminists put the burden of leadership down even though the envy the respect that men get is seen in the mantra, "you need to respect women."

Feminists don't want to earn respect as they never stop claiming is the eternal burden on men. When it comes to a feminist, her sense of entitlement is such that she expects respect to be bestowed on her for sexist reasons.

When you see a man in a position of power and responsibility, unless nepotism is involved, you know it is not the Patriarchy that put him in that position; he had to prove himself. Whenever you see a women in such a position, the thought must cross ones mind if she is a diversity hire or not. Double standards. What you sow is what you reap. Feminist want it both ways, what never was and never can be, freedom without responsibilty. See the vid I posted about a diversity hire captain who ran the ship on a coral reef they were studying.

Godly femininity is a loudspeaker for God's voice and presence.

When ladies are Godly, men look to better themselves. A man will put on dignity for a ladylike woman.

When wives are Godly, men hear God speak through their actions and humility.

When Mothers are Godly, children learn virtue.

We Christian women ought to fear nothing and laugh the longest of any women in earth.

Living life to make Father proud regardless of what people think is where boldness is born.

Women are humanity's heartbeat. Our strength drives civilization and invention. We were made to inspire greatness with our righteous acts and pure conduct.

WLet us live lives full of passion, worthy of Christ Himself. We are His suitable Bride.

One day a woman complained to her husband that she was tired of washing dishes by hand and would he make a machine that will do it for her?

Soon thereafter, we had dishwashers!

I'd say you're right!

Uh-Oh, I should'a googled it before and not after the face, lol. I found out that a woman invented the diswasher!

But your point still stands bcause she had her Husbands support, encouragement and financing for parts fabrication & materials.

Feminine women are not just admired for their beauty.

They command respect without demanding it noisily.

Why? Because there is wisdom and strength in saying a lot less and using both words and silence effectively.

A lady will remove herself from a disrespectful situation.

She knows being quiet at times won't lessen her value, but rather give others a chance to think rationally or about what she just stated.

Using quietness effectively can be a life or death difference.

Keeping quiet, observing the room, and keeping your wits about you can save your life.

Only foolish women are loud and boisterous when they enter a room, demanding attention.

A feminine woman knows all that's not necessary. She just has to walk in the room. She's noticed by virtue of being a woman.

If there were only men there, her presence changes the entire environment.

Femininity comes in all sorts of guises and isn't necessarily a beautiful or pretty face. It is that inward beauty of the spirit that counts more than outward good looks. It is that inner beauty that Godly women should be cultivating; allowing God to change them from the inside.

1 Peter 3:3-5
Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. They submitted themselves to their own husbands,

Romans 12:2
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

When I see that woman I always think to myself, whoa, a decent lady watch your mouth...Lol Your right though, it's like an air about them and it never lies. I suppose she could be an evil genius but not normally, lol.

[Only foolish women are loud and boisterous when they enter a room, demanding attention.]

I used to date that girl! Me and my brother were playing a game of Monopo;y with my mom at her place and my GF knocked at the door and when she came in she walked over to the monopoly game and swiped all the pieces off the board into her hand and said Tada!! Like she is here now and will be the center of attention. That's the same girl that I left sitting at McDonalds about 2 weeks later...


You sort of describe how I used to get to know girls on dates! By being quiet and letting her talk. Girls love to talk about themselves! I learned that early, lol. And every half hour to 45 minutes when she takes a breath and asked something about me, I'd be vague and not really feed her much information. That kept me mysterious and I know how emotional and good imaginations that girls have so they had to fill in the blanks of the question she asked me. Which I was vague about and then toss in a question about her at the same time and she's off running again talking about herself! So I'd learn all about them and I was mysterious to them and they always with their girlish imaginations filled in the blanks 10X better than I ever could!! No one has to lie on a date!

Ah, the good ol days. But not really. I had a lot of fun though.
