One of the things to remember, for Biblical clothing directions, is that what you wear projects a certain image to the world. For instance, in Timothy, it wasn't that the gold and braided hair and such were wrong in themselves. It's that they projected a certain image to the culture around them. Most of Paul's restrictions could be distilled to: Don't dress to impress people with how important you are, or don't dress like the prostitutes do. A Christian is to direct glory to Christ, not to self.

Thou shalt not judge.... just focus on God's love and leave the rest to him. Pure and simple.

Talking about Jesus this Jesus that.... and if you pay attention he never ever condemn slavery....... I found that out when i start thinking as human being, and not as a tool of collective brain washed group

The Bible, Quoran, etc etc is what is wrong with this world. Stand up, and start thinking for yourself. Man has killed more people in "the name of God" and will contiue to unless you think for yourself. Brainwashed sheeps.

I'm sorry, but I don't find mass murder, rape, genital mutilation, slavery, stoning, human sacrifice, natural disasters, or other gruesome injustices particularly funny.

Well sometimes the church being filled with women without their husbands, those women need to dress for God and not leave anything for man to admire. Love the Lord with all your heart, all your mind, and all your strength, and just your all.

For anyone reading this and not knowing Him, Just Seek and you will find HIM! He says So!

As a Bible professor once taught me any text taken out of context is a pretext... so in answer to all of Paul and his dress code comments.  Please do not dress in a way that is distracting in church... No bald heads ( happening in a certain sect back than) If you actually read about the women of the Bible not just comments Paul made here and there you would see that they had a prominant space in the Bible including Pricilla and Aquila (hubby / wife possibly one of the writers of NT)

"All of the things that were needed to make a rainbow, weren't there yet".

Yaweh didn't finish Creation by the Sabbath? Shocking news to the REAL Believers!

Light ( Gen 3) water( Gen 6) and air (Gen 20). Why MUST it be accepted as an accurate historical event, and not as an instructional parable? If parables are good enough for Jesus to put into the NEW Testament, why couldn't they be good enough for a parable based on a severe local (not global) flood, and put into the OLD Testament?

@BanjoMikeGregory werent there yet.

@BanjoMikeGregory Well technically speaking if it didnt exist back then then its not necessarily wrong. After all, you cant say something is wrong if it was never created in the first place. There were no "correct" physical properties because at the time those properties didnt exist, or they did but everything that needed to happen for rainbows to exist hadnt happened yet. Whose to say that the reason a rainbow didnt happen was because it couldnt, or all of the things needed to make a rainbow -

@petion2010 Continuing..Paul was all about how Christian should behave in bad societies in ways that did not bring ill repute on Jesus. Women as property and slavery were societal, not Biblical, concepts. Paul was teaching them how to behave in those conditions. Christians in rigidly Islamic countries have to be careful how their behavior is viewed by society as well. This is what Paul was addressing, not approval of those conditions.

@TheLesboKiller Actually all the miracles stuff were just hilarious. It's funny how the son of god could resurrect the dead and cure anything, yet could teach mankind how to make vaccines. Or just didn't have the wherewithal to tell people to boil their water before they drink it.
