What the bible teaches about female modesty

[jennifer_bloom]

In Isaiah, it says, the spoil speeds, the prey hastens.

If you reverse genders, you could say, riches flee from your life when you chase them too hard, same as lovers or achievements.

From what I observe in my own life, the girls who don’t show off or brag or parade their problems and struggles are the first to get married and retain their attractiveness in old age.

The women that brag and show off and make their issues everyone else’s business, never marry, no matter how old they get, or how much they achieve or do or sacrifice or give. The bible teaches their is no benefit to boasting, only diminishing returns.

I also believe honest women are rewarded with attractive men, not necessarily facially, but in overall terms, while dishonest women, might marry squeegie kids or high school drop outs. The bible teaches, that when you honour God, and avoid honouring yourself, that God will make it His business to honour you.

God forced me to reject all the low status guys I liked, God wanted to make me look good.

the bible surprisingly has a lot of things that tend to be true or can be applied to a world that is seemingly rejected it

Another way to articulate is what my grandpa used to tell me about sports "the harder you push the less you get"

Tell that to Michael Jordan

I'm not a believer so I admire discussion:

The thing I don't like on that passage is the whole woman who don't parade their business. So if I'm struggling in life, I have to keep it all internal never seek help, and that'll make me a better marriage candidate. What about when you build resentment on everything you're keeping inside or struggle to simply let go of the past?

I don't see how sharing about problems or issues would be considered boasting. We are told in James to confess our faults to one another and to pray for one another... I think the women who are sharing their problems or issues are being AUTHENTIC. If men can't accept a woman for her authentic self then he is not worth her time, no matter how "godly" he may appear to be.

I don’t think women of men should wear a flower sack. But I think it depends on the intentions.

If a woman is wearing something with the intentions of sexual attention. This is sin. If she isn’t. Then that’s between her and God

It's easy to be modest if you wear an ankle length dress and a well covering pinafore apron all the time. There are less disappointments when you are modest.

[RichardoStyle]

Women should dress modestly. This is the virtue of God.

What is your Christian denomination?

[jennifer_bloom]

I do not have one - I follow only the bible - and listen to all kinds of pastors

[HippieVeganJewslim]

You’re like I, Jennifer — follow no Muslim denomination, but just the Qur’ān. I listen to all pastors, rabbis, and imams.

[Milania88]

@HippieVeganJewslim Quran is a fake religion, sorry...

[HippieVeganJewslim]

It is actually the real way of life. You don’t have to believe the recitations, but stop shoving your beliefs down my throat.
