(And I don't want anyone messing with what's mine and vice versa.) I believe I'm in the book when I speak of this principle as well. ( Romans 14:13, and I Corinthians 8:9. I also realize I Corinthians context is referring to Idol sacrificed meat, however the principle and the Spirit still applies to this.) |
Oh, I agree. If you just walk down the street you are going to see some people half naked, and I do mean half naked. And you will also see some fully clothed, and still lust after either one, if it is in your heart.
But if you go swimming in public, you will most likely see exposed skin from men and women.

Re: Apostolic Swimwear
I avoid beaches with people, I don't do well around naked women.

Re: Apostolic Swimwear
I don't go to beaches...especially when rip tides are present.

Ya, I hear you! I get a lot of attention myself when I show up on the beach. All of a sudden everyone seems to need rescuing!

Re: Apostolic Swimwear
[QUOTE=RandyWayne;1172922]Oh, I would be the worlds worst father if he lived with me full time, and even double that if I had a daughter, as far as what I would let him/her see or do (and not in a liberal way but in a deep ultra-protectionist way). LOL
I guess they words they would use for me when describing me to their friends would be "stifling!".
My daughter would be the only one who was not allowed to date until the age of 21 and even then her curfew would be 8 pm.[/QUOTE]
LOL, Sounds like a very "over-protective" father to me!
RandyWayne, maybe it IS best you never had a daughter, after all! (I have a feeling you would be an awesome father to a sweet little daughter)!

Re: Apostolic Swimwear
I have friends who are women, they will wear a wear a sun dress over their swim suit until it is time to swim.If you are a mature adult you will not let it bother you. I think we in America see to much into this when in some countries everything comes off when they go swimming. I have talked to people who were shocked at what happens in germany.In the river everybody wears nothing. I have never done that nor would I. i am a realist who has conservative leanings. If you are in private with family and friends you can be more relaxed.

Thumbs down. 
You can order up a size so the rash guard isn't so, ah, form fitting. Your average guy won't fill out a rash guard as well as those models do, anyway.

Re: Apostolic Swimwear
Real Christians don't swim.
Ask Peter.
