WHAT DID GOD SAY AT THE END OF HIS WORK OF CREATION?

“And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very goodit was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.” Genesis 1:31Genesis 1:31.

God saw no need to make a correction in His work. It was all very good, even today except for the blight of sin.

CONTINUED....Eccl. 3:14 Eccl. 3:14 “I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it:nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth [it], that [men] should fear before him.”

If you do not like how you were created, you better start liking it now. It is yours for eternity.

You may attempt to change the colour of your lips, tattoo your body, but it is only for awhile. Nature forces itself back or if you overstretch it, you suffer the after effects.

They way you were created is for eternity, except for genetical disorders like humps, lameness e.t.c

Jesus ascended to heaven with the face his disciples knew him with. You retain yours to hell or heaven. Chose where.

“The woman shall not wear that not wear that which pertaineth unto a manwhich pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abominationabomination unto the LORD thy God.” Deuteronomy 22:5Deuteronomy 22:5

God desires a distinction in the dress of males and females.

CONTINUED...CONTINUED...Women are not to dress in trousers alone. If they are in feminine trousers, for the sake of the utility of trousers, then they must have a modest skirt over it. Anything less will bring confusion of the sexes which thing is abomination. All that do contrary are abominable unto the Lord. There wont be a difference in the sexes by dress.

The feminine morphology rarelyrarely affords modesty in trousers alone.

A majority of Muslims are better of than Christians in this respect.

IF MARY QUANT'S MOTHER HADN'T SENT HER TO BALLET LESSONS, THE MINISKIRT MIGHT NEVER HAVE BEEN INVENTED."DURING [ONE BALLET CLASS], I COULD HEAR EXCITING MUSIC COMING FROM NEXT DOOR, AND WHEN I PEEKED THROUGH THE GLASS I SAW A TAP-DANCING CLASS TAKE PLACE, AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM, A GIRL A COUPLE OF YEARS OLDER THAN ME WHO WAS THE VISION OF EVERYTHING I WANTED TO BE, " QUANT SAID. "SHE WAS WEARING A SHORT PLEATED SKIRT ABOUT 10 INCHES LONG, WITH A SKINNY BLACK SWEATER, BLACK TIGHTS AND A BOB HAIRCUT. WHAT STRUCK ME WAS HOW THE WHOLE OUTFIT FOCUSED ON WHAT SHE HAD ON HER FEET: A PAIR OF WHITE ANKLE SOCKS, AND A PAIR OF PATENT TAP SHOES WITH ANKLE STRAPS."THE ANONYMOUS TAP-DANCER MADE A LASTING IMPRESSION ON THE ICONIC SIXTIES DESIGNER AND THE REST IS FASHION HISTORY."FROM THAT DAY ON I WAS STRUCK WITH THIS LOVELY VISION OF LEGS AND ANKLES," SHE TOLD THE WEEK. "THE IMAGE OF THAT GIRL STAYED WITH ME, I STARTED TRYING TO MAKE MY OWN CLOTHES, CUTTING UP BED-SPREADS. I USED TO START RE-ARRANGING MY SCHOOL UNIFORM, HITCHING UP MY SKIRT TO BE MORE EXCITING LOOKING." (THE 1960S AND THE POLITICS OF THE MINISKIRT)

Teenagers Create Their Own Political (and Fashion) Space

Before the 1960s, young women had been expected to dress in the style of their mothers, which was usually loosely based on Parisian couture. For example, as late as 1962, a Sears catalog portrayed mothers and daughters as “patchwork pals” who were overjoyed that they are wearing identical dresses. Looking back on the late 1950s, the English designer Sally Tuffin remarked, “There weren’t any clothes for young people at all. One just looked like their mother” (Steele 1997).

However, by the 1960s, youth protests and demands for individual expression revealed that young adults were gaining a self-conscious awareness of themselves as a distinct and unified group that was able to respond to political events in ways that were different from their parents (Cawthorne 1999). Youngsters felt they no longer needed to follow the rules of bourgeois morality and manners, which they saw as hypocritical and based on double standards. As this young political entity gained a voice, they created a space for a new and distinctive fashion that embodied their own political views—not their parents’.

A New Class of Young Consumerism

The young generation was indeed growing up rebellious and articulate—and with more money than they’ve ever had before. Young people suddenly became a powerful class of consumers who demanded a fashion that matched the spirit of youth. Consequently, the whole structure of the fashion system was challenged from the youth in the streets as the prestige of “couture” came under attack or, worse, seemed irrelevant (Cawthorne 1999). Upstart designers and boutiques began to cater to a new youth market that could now buy what they wanted—and to older women who began to scramble to look like their daughters.

A sexual creature. She displays her sexuality instead of this coy business of hiding it. Today she dressed to say, ‘I am sexy. I like men. I enjoy life”

"Mini clothes are symbolic of those girls who want SEDUCE A MAN"

--Mary Quant, the inventor of the miniskirt.

Note the public boast of Mary Quant, the inventor of the miniskirt. This fashion designer declared that her creation was for the PURPOSE of making sex (illicit) more available in the afternoon. In an interview she was asked what kind of person today's woman wants to be, and she answered......, "A sexual creature. She displays her sexuality instead of this coy business of hiding it. Today she dresses to say, 'I am sexy. I like men. I enjoy life.'"

Page 23: Dress and Deportment

Then she made this bold statement: "Mini clothes are symbolic of those girls who want SEDUCE A MAN."

Many women have brushed aside criticism of their short dresses by blaming everything on the dirty old men with their evil thoughts. But is that the basic fault? This is not confined to "dirty old men." Every man, woman, and child in the world has a carnal nature by birth. But the male struggle to keep the thoughts straight is based upon more than the fleshly nature. It is rooted in the fact that God created men with a completely different sexual makeup than women. God made man in the beginning with a very sensitive sexual nature that could be quickly aroused by the sight of female nudity. Woman, on the other hand, was created with a sexual nature which would not be so easily stirred, especially by sight. She was made to be more responsive to touch and tenderness. Her more subtle sexuality could be drawn out by the physical attentions involved in the conjugal relationship. God never intended for man's sex emotions to be stimulated outside the marriage chamber. And in order to protect him God placed within the woman a delicate sense of modest reserve, so that she would not expose her body except to her own husband.

Page 24: Dress and Deportment

The plan was perfect, but it has broken down in one area. Satan has managed to destroy to a very great extent that inherent modesty with which the Creator endowed womanhood. Uninhibited nudity or provocative haft-dress has become the accepted norm of modern fashion. On every side, the Christian, as well as the non-Christian, is forced to look upon scenes of nakedness which are utterly foreign to the original plan of the Creator.

WHO IN THE BIBLE IS MENTIONED BY NAME TO HAVING PUT PAINT ON HER FACE?And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, JezebelJezebel heard of it; and she painted her facepainted her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window.” 2 Kings 9:302 Kings 9:30

She is not an example for Christians to imitate.

However, the Israelites later behaved in the same way. Ezek. Ezek. 23:40-4223:40-42.God pronounces judgement on such asking them what they shall do on the judgement day. Jer. 4:30Jer. 4:30

Shaving the eyebrows was for those with leprosy. If it could be so widespread today, then they need to keep off the church building at least.

WHAT DID KING SOLOMON FIND TO BE MORE BITTER THAN DEATH?“I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of the wickedness of follyfolly, even of foolishness and madnessfoolishness and madness: And I find more bitter more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bandshands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her .Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account: Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not foundhave I found; but a woman among all those have I not found. Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.” Ecclesiastes 7:25Ecclesiastes 7:25

The question to ask here is; how to women achieve these things. How do they ensnare men? Is it not by attracting the attention of men to their erogenous zones?

Women are more prone to fashionable sins than are men.

It is not with material ornaments that God beautifies the meek but with salvation. The following proves it even more.

“I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousnessrobe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.” Isa. 61:10Isa. 61:10

The passage concerns the birth of the nation of Israel as they marched out of Egypt.

You can still remember that God commanded them to put away their ornaments at point which He gave them His laws which King Solomon says is like ornaments to those that keep them.

If not, then in which year and in whose reign did God ever give the Israelites ornaments to wear?

IN READING EZEKIEL, WHAT DOES GOD WASN’T US TO GET?

“Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdnessnot to do after your lewdness.” Ezekiel Ezekiel 23:48.23:48.

The Bible is not written to encourage us into sin but to show us the way out of it.

Even in the old testament, mortification of the body was not for the Israelites to do.

HOW SHOULD WE DRESS TO THE ASSEMBLY OF GOD?“And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD'S sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's punish the princes, and the king's childrenchildren, and all such as are clothed with strange strange apparelapparel.” Zephaniah 1:8Zephaniah 1:8

In the same day also will I punishpunish all those that leap leap on the threshold, which fill their masters' houses with violence and deceitviolence and deceit.” Vs. 9Vs. 9

Strange apparel can only be immodest indecent clothes, usually worn by harlots. God will not spare from judgement those who willingly and deliberately or out of wilful ignorance dress like that to church. They bring the lust of the eyes and the flesh into the house of God? 1 John 2:15-John 2:15-17.17.

DOES THE BIBLE ALLOW MEN TO KEEP LONG HAIR?“Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him…buthave long hair, it is a shame unto him…but if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.” 1 Cor. 11:14,16.1 Cor. 11:14,16.

There is no room for keeping dreadlocksno room for keeping dreadlocks. . Samson never kept dreadlocks. He simply had long hair according to the Nazarite vow. Numbers 6:1-21, Judges 13:7Numbers 6:1-21, Judges 13:7. Rastafarianism cropped into fashion much later after Samson had long died.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
