Clothing, where do you draw the line

[Praxeas]

In a thread where a picture of a young lady was posted with a low nickline, revealing more cleavage than I think a Pentecostal lady should, it was basically argued that this was just fine.

My question to you is where do you draw the line? We have had one Pastor here, who shall be nickless, talk about running around in public in speedos. Is there a limit? Do you draw the line anywhere? Would you approve of Christians who go to nudest colonies? Is anything ok?

I am a prude!

I still believe in modesty.

Yet, I do not dangle people over Hell as they have to make up their own mind
about what is modest.

But what exactly is modest? Where do you draw the line on women? Cleavage? Slits? Thighs?

I draw the line on what I wear, anyone else can put on or off whatever they want.

Hey Prax, is this knee length skirt on the left over the line?

Hey J-Roc, how about answering the question. Where do you draw the line?

Obviously, wearing a bikini in public is immodest. Wearing a skirt below the
knee is modest assuming it doesn't fit skin tight. As to where to draw the
line, the Bible doesn't spell this out. I think we have to use good common
sense. The scripture just simply tells us to adorn ourselves in modest
appearal. This is why we have to be careful about making our interpretations
equal to the law of God. This is legalism when we do so.
Now as for my family, my wife and daughter wear their skirts below the
knee. This is what we feel is modest. However, I would never dare to say
that someone isn't saved if their conviction is not identical to mine. At the
same time a lady in public in a bikini probably has little concern for being
modest. The word of God gives us the principle of modesty and we have
to use common sense in applying the principle to our lives.

I put my clothes in the dryer, stopped using a line a long time ago.
