Random Questions Thread

Random questions:

Is the prophetic ministry of Ephesians 4:11
the same as the ability to prophesy in 1 Corinthians 12:10?

Is humility the opposite of pride?
Can pride be overcome by esteeming others as better than yourself
Preferring and serving others?
Or is pride best overcome through prayer and fasting?

Re: Random Questions Thread

I need help with a question about modesty when dealing with people who will only accept chapter and verse.

Using only scripture, please prove that showing cleavage is immodest.

The Psalmists prayed that God helped them to walk in His ways (e.g. Psalm 119). Jesus used the Word when fighting temptation saying "It is written" and quoting it.

I think if you force yourself to practice something, it may be a good sincere attempt to bring fruit of repentance. It could also be useless because the heart is not truly repented (e.g., Prov 23:6-7)

What is modesty according to God?

[Gen 3:21 NKJV] 21 Also for Adam and his wife the LORD God made tunics of skin, and clothed them.

H3801 - kutōneṯ:

Gesenius Lexicon: generally with sleeves, coming down to the knees, rarely to the ankles.
BDB Lexicon: tunic with long skirts and sleeves.



[Isa 47:2-3 NKJV] 2 Take the millstones and grind meal. Remove your veil, Take off the skirt, Uncover the thigh, Pass through the rivers. 3 Your nakedness shall be uncovered, Yes, your shame will be seen; I will take vengeance, And I will not arbitrate with a man."

[Exo 28:42 NKJV] 42 "And you shall make for them linen trousers to cover their nakedness; they shall reach from the waist to the thighs.

It is obvious that for God, showing your thigh is showing your nakedness, which is shameful in Bible standards. This is applicable for man and woman. God didn't make tunics only for Eve. The passage in Isa talks about a woman, and the passage in Ex is about a priest (a man).

I think she meant a different cleavage?

Well, a prophet must be able to prophesy, right? So although a person may prophesy at some specific time, a prophet would be one whose primary gift and function in the assembly is prophesying.

It seems humility is a contrary to pride, as would be meekness, bashfulness, or in some circumstances just being quiet. (Assuming pride is meant in the negative sense of exalting oneself etc).

Pride, considered as a sin or moral defect, is overcome by repentance. A tendency to pride or in otherwise a weakness in the face of temptation to be prideful would be overcome by prayer (with fasting if necessary) and a moral determination or choice to not be prideful, like basically any other temptation. By cooperating with the Spirit one's attitude and thought processes are changed to conform to God's.

At first I was like "Why is he going on about legs?". So anyway I googled "What does the Bible say about cleavage". And I discovered that outside of the US "cleavage" is often understood to refer to showing the distinction between legs (as in "a divided garment" like either pants or a skirt/dress with a split in it).

Re: Random Questions Thread

I'm truly baffled that there are women who don't automatically understand that a low cut top is immodest. And the preacher doesn't seem to know how to make it plain because he only preaches chapter and verse and people are left to, for lack of better terminology, flesh out the meaning for themselves.
