There are cultures today where, according to our culture, they are immodest, but if you teach them to cover themselves, it would be insulting to their culture. In some cultures, women being topless is common and it's their culture. Men wearing only a loincloth is modest in their culture.

Even in our own culture, if we compare how we dress today to 100 years ago, we are immodest in our dress, especially the women, yet we see nothing wrong with it today.

Modesty is defined by each culture. Teaching modesty instead of a clothesline will not steer you wrong, no matter where you preach.

I believe this is why you never read of Paul preaching clothesline to the churches he visited. There was no way he could do that.

Next you will be trying to tell us that Jesus was not clean shaven!!
