Religious Debate and Discussion

Yes, BUT, "modesty" is open to Cheap Junior Bridesmaid Dresses interpretation. I was in a very strict fundamentalist church for many years, and if your dress did not meet the standards, you were called into the office by the pastor and counseled. You might even be excluded from certain activities, etc. Now, nobody was forcing me to be in that church, but I believed back then that that was where I was meant to be, and that it was G-d's will, so I complied. I did not personally think it was sinful to wear pants (or cut my  hair or whatever), but I put my own opinions aside out of respect. So, yes, places like that do exist. Not everyone dresses that way because they personally agree - some may be doing it to comply.

Tradition. LDS culture women wear dresses. There is no strong doctrinal reason for this and many consider it an absolute for prop er  Cheap Prom Dresses  worship and reverence, but I personally think it is a cultural perspective.

I don't see it changing any time soon becuase 1. who cares? I don't mind wearing a dress or skirt, and I don't know of more than possibly three women who do, and all of them I have met on line. 2. it sets the Sabbath apart from other days because people "put on" their church clothes. It allows for a psychological shift that wouldn't occur if everyone turned up in their jeans and t's, even professional women tend to have different "work" clothes and "church" clothes. 3. it's a tradition that harms no one. Like Jello at ward parties. Does it HAVE to be there? no. Is it offensive that it is there every time? Not really.

I recently heard that some Christian women who choose to wear dresses every day do so because they want to honor who God made them. God made them female, and thus they dress to show their feminity (modestly so, of course).

I've even read online somewhere (no this is not *my* opinion, but an opinion of someone else that I read) that they believe God finds it more offensive that a woman wear pants than if I woman wore an immodest dress. How they know what God finds more offensive I am uncertain.

By Grace,

I was a member of the Pentecostal church, and we were NEVER allowed to wear pants, makeup, etc. Things have changed since then, but for some churches it hasn't. And, of course, everyone thinks THEIR interpretation of scripture is the correct one.

PS: The best example I could give is myself, so I posted a pic of me from when I was in the church. My cousin, also in the pic, was really pushing it with her above the knee "mini" skirt. The girl in pants was a neighbor. It's not the most flattering picture, so it's coming down TONIGHT.
