If you are wearing pants you are immodest, you would have an immodest spirit. If you have an immodest spirit, it must be to attract male attention. If you are wanting to attract male attention, then you must be sleazy. Final conclusion: the same as the speakers; a w****.

i am sorry but all those conclusions are a bit pretentious, you would have to be able to read all womens minds, and we know that wont happen, lol, the fact is we have no idea why she was wearing pants, been in church, not in church, we just dont know, and that speaker is just ignorant, that is the nicest thing i can say, if a preacher said that at our church, i would leave, no love there, dt

She wasn't raised in church. She just started attending. And no, she isn't a *****.

But, really my focus is on the definition of "wear". And again, that particular definition is only used once in the entire Bible and only in Deut 22:5.

And that is what love is about.

James 3:13 "Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom."

Our "conversation: is defined in the Greek as our "behavior".

This is the crux of the matter, Scott.
