Not sure about, a prostitute might look better than her.

Ah... That ol' familiar opening...

"Greetings Brothers, and Sisters, Friends and Enemies."

Gotta love it!

It was through listening to Jennings and studying the Scripture that I came to the understanding that I Corinthians 11 is about head coverings.

Does it really matter if a person wears make up? That is between the individual and God! I have seen some women who never wore makeup,but they were as mean as a famished lioness ! There are some men who say that women should not wear toe and heel out shoes! If a woman ś heels and toes are going to cause a man to become full of lust,he is a sick puppy anyway!

It matters to a lost world if the church looks like a hooker or not. They are looking for deliverance.

Brother Gino Jennings gives an explanation to the above. Also saying that an unchurched individual shouldn't have a problem with lusting after a female dressed a certain way is mistaken. Brother Gino Jennings points out that everything from cars to cornflakes (my words) is sold with a scantily clad female. Why because to the carnal male that is where the focus goes.
Jesus warns married men that if they were even to look upon a woman with lust they were in adultery. So, Jesus knew their was a problem. The Bible also states that there is an attire of a harlot Proverb 17:10 Then out came a woman to meet him, dressed like a prostitute and with crafty intent. Doesn't get any plainer than that.

1 Timothy 2:9

Likewise, I want the women to adorn themselves with respectable apparel, with modesty, and with self-control, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,

The above is Paul speaking about women in Timothy's congregation. He says he wants them to be dressed in "respectable" attire, which would be the opposite of being dressed like a prostitute.

If a woman isn't prayerful, modest, and submitted, her makeup is in vain.

Brother Gino Jennings makes the statement if he came into the studio with a blood red suit, bright yellow neck tie, hair extensions, and gold rings on every finger. What would he look like? Some churches people look like they are going to the club, not the church. We are called to come as we are, not stay as we are.

What about unmarried men?

We are dealing with a situation that these people didn't have dating. Laws were in place for male and female interaction. Some laws concerning rape would be barbaric to our Christian minds. Yet, they were all in place during the time of Christ. The Apostle Paul tells the Church (young men included) to entreat old women as mothers and younger women as sisters 1 Timothy 5:2. This would cover young men getting too carried away.

Gino Jennings is quite a gentleman when talking one on one and on a personal level. His most controversial responses are typically in regards to the letters sent to his ministry, which he addresses rather boldly, without pulling any punches.

I like what he said to K Foxx when she asked, "What would be your assessment of me as a woman?", with regards to her makeup, etc. Jennings then said, "My assessment wouldn't be anything. But from a biblical perspective...", and he then launches into Jeremiah 4:30.

I like that. He didn't personally insult her. In fact, he was very pleasant. He then moved into Scripture and shared his perspective of what the Bible teaches.
