Wow!!! I am sorry if I offended anyone with my thoughts.(Remember....there my thoughts)
Mrs. B. I was not trying to be ugly about the whole swimsuit issus. My wife wears a
bathing suit and a coverup when we go to the beach or water park.
I would never make fun of someone in trying to be modest, and have fun with their
family.
If they believe(or have convictions????) about dress code......They should not be
at an water park anyway.
But come on now...............putting a plastic bag over you on a water ride....are you
grinning just a little?..............or fully dressed at a water park.........For God sakes, you
will drown!!!
Take care my friend............leave those bags at home. LOL......
Oh, and for the record. Those folks with the bags over thier body on the ride....
I know them well...........My wife grew up in church with them........They go to a very
conserative church in MS.
I have played for their choir before...............
For whatever weird reason, I was thinking about this thread when I woke up this morning. I tend to do that a lot. I'm strange.
Anyway, the brilliant thought that was banging around in my brain is this:
It's not how much skin you have covered that makes people stare and think you're weird. It just comes down to appropriate and inappropriate attire. You could wear a wet suit which covers you from your wrists, to your neck, to your ankles. Wear that at the ocean, and no one will give you a second glance. Wear a three-piece suit and tie, and jump in, and everyone's eyes will bug out. Wear a three-piece suit and tie to Six Flags and people will do a double take. Wear jeans and a t-shirt to Six Flags, and no one will notice you're there. It's not the amount of skin that's 'not' showing, it's just that some attire has specific uses, and if you wear it to a place where it doesn't 'suit the occasion', people will notice.
I wouldn't wear a prom dress to go hiking, and I wouldn't wear hiking boots and denim to the prom. We have attire that we think is appropriate for certain occasions.
So, MissB, I doubt that very many people find it odd when you and your daughters wear long swim shorts and rash guard shirts. That's appropriate attire for the water. But denim does get glances because everyone knows how heavy it gets in water, plus most people think it's weird to swim in everyday clothes.
Of course it's a free country, and we can all do what we want. As a matter of fact, I was wading in a stream just a few days ago, in a jean skirt. I didn't care what anyone thought at the time. But, there's no sense in denying that some people might think it's weird, and for good reason. Not because too much skin was covered, and they think that's strange.... no, just because it's not appropriate attire for the occasion.

Completely agree with this - nothing to add to it!!!!

I think you hit the definition of modesty on the head.
However, how much it too much skin? Should followers of Jesus parade around almost naked? Thong bikini? Two piece or one? Shorts and t-shirt?
Love is more important than liberty (Romans 14). Which shows more love for one another?

Just questions.
I think the guideline for this should be the same guideline I live the rest of my life by..... 'Love God, Love Your Neighbor'. Regarding swimsuits, I still have the guideline that I wouldn't want to cause a weak brother to stumble.
If I'm going to be around a godly man, and he's going to have to avert his eyes to keep from seeing things that make him feel uncomfortable.... then I'd feel I was dressed immodestly.
I think MissB's solution of swim shorts and rash guard shirts is a great solution. I've also seen swimsuits that have pretty high necklines... coupled with swim shorts, they can be pretty modest.
I don't think the Bible declares how much skin is too much, so I think it falls under the heading of consideration for those around us. Most of us have the common sense to know when we're showing too much.

Right.

Do you go change at that point, or are you aware what "that point" is? What is it?

What is that though? Cleavage point? Underwear? I mean, at most beaches you can wear anything. I think it's the nipple that makes things off limits. I'm not sure it's that common. If anything is common, it's because A&F influences swimwear.

I don't try to set guidelines for other people. Everyone needs to answer to God for their own conscience.
For me - no cleavage, arm openings that fit snugly, no bare backs, and shorts that are at least fingertip length. Basically, swim shorts and swim shirt.
And what's HILARIOUS is that ultra-cons will think I'm a devil for showing this much, and people who are more liberal than me will probably think - oh, fuddy duddy!
Well Spoken.........................I agree to the fullest.
Kinda remins me of when people try to make a argument about standards and dress
codes. They say things like................even the people at mcdonalds where a uniform!
You are right. But I betcha they don't wear it swimming.............unless...............lol...
