Scriptures proves no shorts??
 

Rev 1:13

13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
KJV


Jesus is picture with a garment down to his feet, could this be used to teach against shorts?

I've also read where because the priest only showed his feet.hands and face when going into the holy place, we should to only show that much.


whta thinketh thou?

Could be used to prove no shorts... OR could be used to prove that garments down to the foot are about as rare as golden girdles. :2cents

This is actually one scripture the stay covered head to foot crowd can actually use. It's better than some of the other ones they stretch to fit what they think.

Scripture shows Jesus died by crucifixion does this mean you can't die of a heart attack?

Jesus ate fish, can you use that to teach against eating beef?

or does it mean Jesus was fully clothed in modesty down to his feet???

So why not obey the whole scripture and require golden girdles too?

Or does it mean Jesus only ate fish? Or does it mean Jesus only wore golden girdles....or does it mean Jesus only walked on water, never on dry ground...anyone not notice how this is a logical fallacy?

Did Jesus have a beard?

You think he ever bathed? Just because Jesus is pictured in one verse dressed a certain way is not a reason to assume that is how he always appeared

Maybe we need to all wear towels

Joh 13:3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and went to God,
Joh 13:4 He rose up from supper and laid aside His garments. And He took a towel and girded Himself.
Joh 13:5 After that He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.

yeah and next time the ladies talk about breast feeding their infants they can instead use the more King Jameseque "paps" :donuts

Jesus rode on a horse....the Amish were right! Jesus never used electricity....the Amish were right! Whooo hooooo

Personally I don't think shorts on grown people in public are modest ,however Jams the knee length ones might be an exception.
In kindness I wear long pants only in public.

I think that's a brilliant idea! When do we start??

here we go

Lord! You are soooo materialistic!!!! :girlnails

:thwak


:icecream

Don't football players wear those? :killinme

BTW, in addition to my incredible logical analysis of this issue, I add that Jesus did NOT wear pants......

Maybe Modern Women ought to start wearing corsets ?

But what he did wear was down to his feet. and while we don't wear robes we can follow the principle of down to the feet.

what? Your wife doesn't? :hypercoffee

some already do brother...among other items

If that is a principle, why be selective? Wear a girdle, wear a robe...wear just a towel...ride a horse..you don't see how that is logically fallacious yet?

No I can't convince her either.

Shhh... Don't TELL anyone!!

lol....that's pickin' and choosin' isn't it?

Bump

hey no big words mister big stuff!

Anyways, It's not the point of what he wore but how he wore it. down as in completely convered.

For the record, I'm not saying the scriptures supports no shorts, just bringing it out for discussion. I believe most evrything in the bible is for a reason. there has to be a reason it points out he wore it to his feet.

Yes we know that was the point. Our point is you are being obviously selective there....Jesus also wore a towel. He had a beard. He rode on a horse...you don't know that this is the ONLY way Jesus ever dressed. If someone can take one verse and show something Jesus did and insist that is how it should be for all of us at all times, then we need to stop wearing pants and wear robes...stop driving cars and ride horses etc etc...you really don't see how that is logically fallacious?

Why did John point out Jesus put on a towel?

There has to be a reason for the golden girdle too.

and the reference to paps? :hypercoffee

Come on, lol. BTW do we really need this verse to support dressing modestly?

No.

Great Apostolic model of modesty
Joh 21:7 Then that disciple whom Jesus loves said to Peter, It is the Lord! Then hearing that it is the Lord, Simon Peter girded on his coat (for he was naked), and cast himself into the sea.

Yup, there you have it folks..if you want to be modest put on a coat and jump into the sea

I wouldn't expect a spandex wearer to accept this. :telephone

Right, I've wondered of being completely covered symbolizes complete righteousness.

You are confusing me with MOW

Now I can buy that - - big difference in saying it's about wearing clothes to your feet.

failed attempt at humor.

lol....mine or yours? :hypercoffee

Keep it rollin'

:popcorn2

:killinme :killinme

Hmmm that funny since the bible say a lot about men wearing skirts~

There are many more Bible verses for men wearing skirts than women wearing them! The Bible speaks of men's skirts twelve times: (Dt 22:30, Dt 27:20, Ru 3:9, 1 Sa 15:27, 1 Sa 24:4, 1 Sa 24:5, 1 Sa 24:11, 1 Sa 24:11, Eze 16:8, Hag 2:12, Hag 2:12, and Zec 8:23).

and towels...not just on their heads

John was in exile on the Isle of Patmos. He was evidently alone. Jesus shows up. It's just the guys.
They could have donned some shorts and just dangled their feet in the water, after all it was just the two of them.
Yet, Jesus shows up clothed to foot. It is so remarkable that John recorded it. Why?
Maybe he realized that it was important enough for God to show up fully clothed even though no one else was going to see it that he noted it as worthy of mentioning.
