Another aspect of modesty is also extravagance and cost.
Does this mean I can't wear my white, tank top t-shirt (there's a slang for it, but I don't like it so I'm not using it) while out working in the yard?

LOL!

Well, you can wear it if you wanted to. It's not a "sin". However, as a Christian man, if you feel it could cause your neighbor to stumble because they might ogle your awesome biceps, you might want to consider a regular T-shirt.

So I guess we are going to make a standard to cover every possible fetish.

As a delivered ex porn addict, I never did run into elbow and knee genres....

We don't need codified standards. I think some common sense suggestions about modesty are all that is necessary. The Spirit leads people from there.

I don't believe I've ever walked out in public wearing a tank top t-shirt. Correction, I have worn them, but under a t-shirt or button up shirt.

All the OT prophets and the Apostles were able to clearly name the sin and clearly state what the judgment was to come -- why can't you? They didn't "kick Christ off His seat of judgment" by declaring the judgment to come.

Early century preachers like John Edwards stood and condemned sin and clearly stated the judgment to come.

Why must you use this excuse? Is it because you really don't believe women wearing pants will go to hell? Or is it because you're too afraid of being labeled a legalist?

One thing is clear, the prophets, apostles and preachers down throughout history stand as proof of what a Godly minister and watchman says and does. They didn't cower with excuses. They proclaimed with authority the judgment of God.

So why aren't you?
Wait, so Jonathan Edwards was a godly minister? Any other AFFers affirm?

Liberals can't have a honest discussion. Logic isn't a liberals strong point, misrepresentation is. You are walking away from the discussion? Aquila, this wasn't your last post. You actually dragged on for quite awhile. While some other liberals massaged your shoulders.

No, because if you were honest you would of dealt with what I originally offered. Yet, you want to be an intellectual coward and claim you understand the other side's viewpoint? When you don't? You are AFF's Joy Behar.

I gave you a list of verses dealing with abomination. Asking you originally if you could tell me which ones were abrogated? You refused to deal with it. I then asked you to show how you would deal with each one with YOUR idea that abominations are to be shunned? Meaning what? No, you ran out of road, and therefore couldn't logically even defend your own argument.

You just learned this now? During this discussion?

Seriously?

Sweet Jesus, what are you on?

I'll change my last thought. You are really the Stuart Smalley of AFF.

Liberals also are more interested in modifying ancient religious texts to suit their feelings. They also get upset, call people idiots, when those feelings are called out for being baseless. They want to deal with the readers or listeners emotions and bring up stupidity. Like the color red, if a woman or man can sleep in feety pajamas, or wear hoodies which have Hello Kitty on the back.

When the original discussion wasn't based on the insanity of the current culture. No, Deuteronomy 22:5 doesn't have the word Canaanite religion anywhere. But the crew who claim pants are men's attire and katastole is women, have the better argument.

What? Who brought up shunning? Manipulation of facts, salted with misrepresentations? You are now officially AFF's Anderson Cooper.

Some would use a different term for you than bluster. Your dilithium crystals burned out captain, and you just couldn't hold it together.

I offered you the same exact list over and over again. You didn't touch not side, top, or bottom of it. Trying to have you deal with anything rational was like nailing Jello to your forehead with a nail gun. All that happened after you posted this gem, was to get a sponge bath from other libs.

Like I have already posted a few times. This thread died the death of a thousand cuts long ago. Amanah pointed that out, clearly.
