i think that if sin is part of a culture, then its still sin.

If you were hanging out with Jesus, how would you dress? That's how I see it...I'm not bringing honor or glory to God my showing off my cleavage or legs, that's bringing attention and honor to myself...God must increase and I must decrease

I agree that social norms change from group to group and region to region. However, men (I being one of them) typically do not. A girl with a bikini doesn't lead me toward pure thoughts, but away from them. I not only want my Christian brothers to lead me and encourage me toward holiness, but also my Christian sisters. Just my 2 cents.

@66thPsalm if you don't mind me saying this, i wouldn't dare go to service naked, yet I'm guessing that I won't be clothed when I have sex while I'm married. My opinion is that you can't limit it down to two extremes; we're human, we can't even always count on being alive tomorrow

I went swimming once with my best friend and her brother. We were with another church's youth group. They told all of us girls to wear t-shirts over our bathing suits. Modesty is an important issue for girls today and one that I feel passionate about. Even some Christian girls don't realize the importance of modesty. Media paints a different picture of what is beautiful, and they fall for it. Not realizing that "modest is hottest."

@zairekrieger - the same rules should apply for us men as well... we should dress and behave modestly too

[zairekrieger]

What about guys? I personally can get very distracted by six-packs and stuff like that..

A one piece is not modest either. Likewise as a male I know it's not modest for me to wear swim trunks. Why? I wouldn't walk outside wearing boxer shorts - so why should I wear swim trunks alone. I only swim where there are not many people... and I now wear a t-shirt if any women (or homosexual men) are around. People shouldn't use our "freedom" and turn it into a snare. I'm sorry - but most of the bathing suits are not modest. As a man I try to avoid swimming in places with women.
