And I will further declare that we males need more teaching and maturity on the proper respect and understanding in relating to our females sisters. Paul said, "I keep MY body under..." Instead of burning with lust, men let's get understanding. Appreciate the beauty without allowing lingering and fantasy, which never satisfies only inflames.

CJ,
It was not my intent to say that the two piece was the only bathing suit. It WAS my intent to say that most Baptists that I know don't preach against the two piece suit... bra and panties. The original scenario presented was the cultural position of the Baptist who had received the revelation of the truth of
Acts 2:38 a la Apostolics and interpreted Duet by his cultural understanding. Would he be accepted with that cultural interpretation. I was applying the same logic. paralleling it, to
I Tim 2:9 in the declaration of modest apparel. Would he/should he be accepted using the same logic?
I hold to the opinions expressed in
Every Man's Battle, but my guarding my eyes does not release the women in the church to run around dressed immodestly. Your position almost makes it sound like women dressing loosely is OK except for us corrupt old men. Gimme A Beak!
