We are >>>here<<< D.I think being sexy is more a state of mind than anything else. I think I'm sexy with a jogging suit on.
Probably not.
But you know how certain people make up their own rules when it comes to religion.
Somewhere there's a so-called Christian woman in 4 inch heels and a face full of makeup in a skin tight wrap dress who calls her style sexy/classy/elegant using umpteen excuses for why it is okay for her to 'adorn the temple of her body that God has given her'.

Most of the Christian women in my church aren't sexy. There's a lot of frumpy clothes, facial hair, ungroomed eyebrows, old lady panty hose on young folks, and crying about how they can't find a man. erplexed I know that I shouldn't be talking about folks, but frumpiness bothers me. I think that some of them are aiming for modest and just end up being frumpy.
Aaannnddddd????
For the record, I probably wouldn't wear such an outfit to church but if I was going out to dinner with my husband and had the tight body for it it was a Manolo Blanik 4-inch heel and not the clear acrylic platform, it's all good to me.
If you can justify it in your mind and you feel alright doing it... good for you.
I don't think we are talking about whether or not are comfortable being sexy or if people individually find reasons and/or make excuses for why a Christian can be sexy... I think we are talking about how it's contradictory to what the actual teachings of the Bible say about modesty and sexuality being reserved for the marital bed/marital suite, etc.
This is very true.Yeah I think a Christian woman can be sexy. A lot of people equate sexy with slutty. There's a big difference. You can still dress nice but you don't have to have everything hanging out.
ETA: You could be dressed in something very revealing and still not be sexy. Especially if you're attitude is nasty. Attitude alone can turn a 10 into a 2.
For the wives who answered, being in the house is one thing, but what about when you go out and your husband is with you, do you dress sexy then? Or do you reserve it only for the house?
And Cleve-gyrl, my suggestion would be to be conservative and modest ESPECIALLY at worship service. You are at worship to worship, not attract a man. If a man's attention would be more focused on you and your assetts than worshipping God and learning more about his word, then he isn't worth your time anyway.
For the first part of your question: Being sexy doesn't mean you have to dress up just to be sexy. When my husband and I go out, I could be wearing sweatpants, a tee shirt and a cap. He finds that even more sexy, than dressing up and wearing something revealing. I don't have to be "revealing" to have sex appeal to my husband. It's who you are and how you present yourself that truly makes you sexy to your husband.
You preachin now girl! Shoooooot, I can get it in my bath robe and a plastic cap with my ORS pack inDon't ask...
...ok, I won't ask....
Well since you asked.....I don't get it! What's so sexy about me with a plastic cap on my head sitting under a dryer???

Hmmm...I wouldn't say I dress sexy, but I know that I always LOOK sexy to him, and I feel sexy because I know I look good. I guess it comes from the inside when I'm in public. At home, it may be more outward since it's only for my dh (hope that made sense).
Hmmmmmm......testing my Word Of Knowledge gifting here....you own knee high/thigh high hooker boots don't you?
