Courtship Vs. Dating Part 3

New post on the subject of Courtship Vs. Dating.

I have been anxiously anticipating the 3rd insallment.

However, you might want to correct the spelling error in the title...

Excellent, Pastor Lewis! I look forward to the next one...

It reminds of a statement in Doug Wilson's "Fidelity" which I do not have in front of me so I cannot quote it exactly but the force is: a woman who acts/dresses/talks like a harlot in order to please her man will be treated like a harlot by that same man. The way women dress may please men, but what part of the man is it pleasing?

Also, can you give some citations on your statement about the modest bathing practices of women in the OT? That would be helpful in driving home the point about Bathsheba's sin.

thanks brother. I made the correction.

Blessings!

Wow, this is good stuff. I wish more would be written on this(the third post) issue. Women DO dress in a not so modest fashion... EVEN IN THE CHURCH!!

 

[JOwen]

I will have more up, DV, in a few days.

Excellent, speaking as a single 23 year old male I can affirm that I would not court a lady who did not dress soberly for it is a symbol of her heart.

Thanks for the links.

Pastor Lewis, I have semantical question. Do you suppose influencing might be a more apt word to use than causing in this statement:

Did you know that your clothing or (lack of clothing) could be causing a man to sin?

I certainly don't intend this in a disagreeable way (as I agree with the intention behind the statement).

Yes, that is a good thought. Thanks for the suggestion.
