I take great care to not look at a woman's flesh, however I wish that women would show enough respect for me to make it more difficult to see.

I have had many friends who were Indians of various tribes and received their monthly "Indian Gaming" checks. You better believe that the church expected to be tithed from them!

it's kind of funny when women get offended when a man doesn't look them in the eye, but accidently looks a bit lower, but they are dressed to show off their body, it's hypocritical in fact.

My sister is getting a concealed weapons permit because men yell things at her when the see her out running. I suggested maybe she should run in the gym where she is safer. How can you run down the street with a good deal of your skin showing and not expect worldly men to cat call?

1 Timothy 2:8-10

8 I desire then that (A)in every place the men should pray, (B)lifting (C)holy hands without anger or quarreling; 9 likewise also (D)that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, 10 (E)but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works.

Amanah, I agree. I have talked to a number of women, and they say that men look at them as being sex objects. When I get close to mentioning the way that they dress provokes that in a man, they turn and bite my head off saying that a man should be able to not look.

I hate to say it, but any guy (gay or straight) is going to look at a nearly naked woman. We can not help being the visual creatures that we are.

For some reason they resent being called on it though.

I hear ya...les skin is more modest....but this is the free world, 21st century...we could just dress all our women in Burka's.....

or burlap...

Of course Christian women should dress modestly, but I can guarantee you that even in countries where women are covered head to toe in burka's, men still lust after the women....

Lust is primarily in the heart, and can only be dealt with through the Power of the Holy Spirit.

Well, getting back to the money part of the thread....I think the spirit is getting tossed aside for the letter. Here is the problem with many in Christendom...somebody makes a step in the right direction (Emphasis on STEP), and what do alot of folks do...pick apart the persons percieved intent, as if any of us knows the whole story.

Sure it could be smoke and mirrors...but it could also be heartfelt, and the Lord really could be dealing with her, but no, lets toss that aside and talk about how if it was REALLY God she would dispose of all her income earned in this "sinful way", pay her Tithe, etc. What a trip! The spirit gets lost on the letter, and many of these posts are case in point.

I think we are really good at the do's and don'ts, but miss it many times on the spirit issues. It may be God is working a work in a slow step process in this person's life..we ought to at least be greatful she is laying asid some kind of weight and giving God the credit..
