    Default The Godly Way Women Are To Dress and Look

    How can anyone believe that it is the will of God, for women to dress and look anyway other than according to the standards set here in the written word of God?

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

    1 Timothy, Chapter 2
    9: In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
    10: But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.

    1 Corinthians, Chapter 11
    6: For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.

    1 Corinthians, Chapter 11
    7: For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

    1 Corinthians, Chapter 11
    8: For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.
    1 Corinthians, Chapter 11
    9: Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

    1 Corinthians, Chapter 11
    14: Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
    15: But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

    1 Cor. 11.7 (NLT) reads, Every man who prays or prophesies with long hair dishonors his head. But every woman who prays or prophesies with no covering of hair dishonors her head—she is just like one of the “shorn women.” If a woman has no covering, let her be for now with short hair; but since it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair shorn or shaved, she should grow it again. A man ought not to have long hair.

    For both men and women covering oneself in humility is the point. Don't legalize this passage into an Islamic misinterpretation.

    A woman can adorn herself with some gold and pearls just not to excess. Since this passage is talking about long hair, it is simply saying men should have short hair and women should have a longer hair that is all.

    It's very dangerous when you don't read the Bible by the Holy Spirit for you could generate all kinds of strange interpretations like Shia and Sunni.
