We were born with skin and it is with skin we die.

Good point Nan. But I will skip the alternative.

May we be one so that the world may be won.

There is an alternative....

What's the point of taking a picture if all you can see are the eyes?

A fat woman wearing a bikini will show a lot of skin. So I guess men must really like that.

Maybe some men here DO. Some seem to have a fetish about women in general.

There's nothing modest about a dress where the neckline is cut clear down to the belly button...but some of the men on the forum here simply drool over stuff like that.

If we all sang the same note in the choir, there'd never be any harmony.

Funny, isn't it, how we accept Grace for ourselves and demand justice for others?

Duh. That doesn't mean you show all your skin to everyone. Unless, Woody, you are a closet nudist.

Well ... God created skin. I don't think He creates evil. So, I don't see anything wrong with me being nude in my closet.

Most women dress for men. Men like miniskirts on women; men like bikinis on women; men like to see a lot of skin on women. Just take a look at the pictures being posted on this forum. You'll find lots of women's skin and the ones who comment on the photos are men. Men don't like modesty on women...that's the conclusion I've come to here. I wouldn't worry about the hair clips. I doubt any are 24 K gold.

I would completely agree with that except that the reasons men like all of that is not Christ-like at all (lust of the eyes).

I didn't mean to make a huge deal out of the hair clips other than to say that it seems contrasting that people would wear flashy things, such as elaborate/expensive hair clips (it could be any accessory or clothing) and then are quick to condemn a necklace/bracelet/ring. It just seems unusually selective.

Woody, you can be a nudist wherever you want to be. Maybe taking a dip in Lake Michigan in the nude right now would be beneficial for what ails you. You'd get a lot of coverage by the press, I bet. LOL

By the way, God *did* create skin. But He also made clothing for Adam and Eve to cover up their nakedness. So apparently He had the idea in His mind that showing a lot of skin was not appropriate. I doubt He made Eve a bikini.

I think you are right - it IS selective how people judge jewelry on people. Here's an example: there are a lot of people who will wear an expensive gold/silver Rolex watch, and nobody will say a word. My mom had a diamond ring that her father had given to her. She had it made into a diamond tie tack for my father. He wore it a lot, and it looked very nice. But when he became an Adventist, I never saw him wear it again. I thought that was sad. I think he was afraid people would gossip about it.

THE bible said that Adam and Eve made aprons to cover

them selfs while GOD covered them with coats

Coats cover more than aprons do

Good observation, dg! Did they get fur coats or leather outfits?

In either case, Adam and Eve's clothing came at a price. Death was now a reality for them.

Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

Well from the photographs I've seen of the occasion in question ... Eve DID have a good bit of skin showin'.

Well then dgrimm. I think we should fire those artists. :)

A photo would have been much better so that we could know for sure.
