    True biblical modesty means to be humble in how you carry yourself and treat others. How you choose to dress is something else and a personal choice. As a Christian, it's important to be sensitive to any convictions YOU personally have about what you wear or don't wear, however this is between YOU and God. If you wear something that YOU believe God told you personally not to wear, that is between YOU and God. Everything else is basic common sense and none of this is a salvation issue so it's really not that important in the grand scheme of things. As Christians we have bigger fish to fry instead of attacking and dividing each other over clothing. Paul talks about this same pattern in the early church. Fighting over things that are grey areas when the black and white stuff are what we should be focusing on. I refuse to engage in this topic anymore, it's just not edifying. I've said my piece, whether you want to take it or leave it, and if you want to continue to argue amongst yourselves or continue to insist that I'm wrong or need correcting, that's your choice, I wish everyone well. God bless x

      Tbh I would have to disagree with your opinion. The bible speaks a lot about modestly and the way we should dress, it is not just about your feelings but about others around you as well”loving your neighbour as yourself”. It’s okay to admit that at this time we are lukewarm but to try to change God word to fit your narrative of life is just not it. We are also to judge one another in love and not in spite/hate; cause at the end of the day we need each other to become perfect for God ❤️… I advise that you actually take the time to read and study the bible if you want to get deeper with God and to fully understand him ( I know it’s hard lol 😂 😭)

    Amina, let’s dive deeper into this. The reason things like indecent dressing aren’t explicitly mentioned in the Bible is that, in the times of Paul, it wasn’t even a cultural issue. Modesty was woven into the very fabric of society. Women dressed in a manner that reflected the values of their time, whether they followed Christ or not. The idea of wearing revealing clothing wasn’t something that crossed their minds-it simply wasn’t part of their tradition or upbringing.
    Similarly, the Bible doesn’t address secular music or movies directly, because they weren’t part of the cultural or technological reality of that era. The people of that time weren’t engaged in activities that promote the kind of entertainment we see today.
    Now, I want you to think about something: if Paul were alive in today’s world, do you honestly believe he would have remained silent on these matters? Paul was never one to shy away from addressing issues that affected the spiritual health and moral compass of the people. If he were living in our time, faced with the modern challenges we deal with-like indecent dressing, the influence of secular media, and the rise of materialism-there’s no doubt he would have spoken out against it, just as he addressed issues like sexual immorality, idolatry, and greed in his day. His focus was always on living in a way that honors God, and that certainly would include addressing how we present ourselves and the kinds of things we consume.
    Also, someone in the comments made a critical point: it’s not just about whether something is righteous or sinful, but whether it’s wise or foolish. If we ask ourselves whether the choices we make are wise, whether they glorify God or promote self-centeredness, many of these discussions would be unnecessary. Wisdom is a key principle in living a godly life, and it’s often through wisdom that we avoid falling into sin in the first place.

    Hello Amina,
    I’ve been following you for a while and have come to admire you deeply, especially since Natalia was around 14 or 15. Over the years, I’ve grown to love how you openly express your love and commitment to Jesus Christ. I know that when you declare yourself a woman of God, there will always be people waiting for you to stumble or fail-just as they did with Jesus. The Bible shows us that people constantly tried to find faults in Him.
    I noticed a comment you made about those who criticized you, mentioning that many had their cleavage exposed. It's true that those who are quick to judge often have their own flaws-such is the nature of the flesh. But I want to remind you that, as you walk with God, there comes a point where you must die to your flesh, not to please people but to honor Jesus. As children of God, we are called to be set apart, to live lives that reflect His holiness.
    It is true that Modesty is not merely about what we wear; it’s a reflection of a pure heart and a deep reverence for God. While it is true that some people who dress modestly are not necessarily godly, that does not redefine what modesty in Christ should be. True modesty is an outward expression of an inward commitment to live a life pleasing to God in every way.
    Regarding your outfit, particularly the length of your skirt, I believe it wasn’t the most appropriate choice for a church setting. It’s an outfit that some might wear to a club, so it raises the question-why should there be no distinction between someone attending a church and someone attending a club? Our conduct, including how we dress, should reflect the purity we aspire to in all areas of our lives. As Christians, we are called to be pure in heart, in mind, and in actions, setting an example that draws others closer to Christ.
    I say this out of love and concern because you have such an incredible platform and an opportunity to lead others by example. Your influence is powerful, and many young women look up to you as a role model. The way you present yourself can either help strengthen their faith or cause them to stumble. Remember, our actions can sometimes speak louder than our words, and how we live out our faith is often the first thing people see.
    When we truly live for Christ, every part of our lives should reflect His love, His grace, and His holiness. This includes how we dress, how we speak, and how we respond to criticism. It’s not about legalism or simply following a set of rules, but about understanding that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. We are called to honor God with our bodies, reflecting His purity and love in every aspect of our lives.
    I encourage you to take a moment to reflect on this, not as a criticism but as a gentle reminder of the calling you have. You are already doing so much for the Kingdom, and I believe God has even greater things in store for you. Continue to seek His guidance in all that you do, and remember that He looks at the heart. But also know that as His representatives on earth, how we present ourselves matters. May you continue to grow in grace and shine as a light in this world, leading others to Christ through your words, actions, and the purity of your heart.
    With love and respect,

    • @thisisamina
      @thisisamina  Місяць тому +7

      Thanks for your message & kind words. But I had to scream when you said my outfit resembles what someone would wear to a club. A CLUB?? 😂 I haven’t been to the club in a very long time but I know for sure that I have never seen girls wear a baggy oversized T-shirt & a puffy denim skirt to a club!! And if I was going to a club I certainly would not be wearing that outfit, lol. The fact that you saw my outfit in that regard is just SO ridiculous to me, and respectfully, I disagree! And that’s okay. We don’t have to agree on this.
      Everything else you’ve said is what I already know, I’ve been carrying this cross for many many years & know what it takes to be on this Christian journey. I simply do not see an issue with the skirt I wore, and that’s just it. And I don’t know why you & others are not able to reflect and accept that. Why are you so insistent on condemning me for something I had zero conviction from the Holy Spirit Himself about or have condemnation from God about?
      Why can’t you just accept that I felt perfectly fine wearing that skirt? Why are you & others so insistent on still trying to “correct” me or tell me that I’m “wrong” for wearing it? I genuinely do not understand the huge fuss you are making about this, meanwhile there are actual sins that ppl need help & encouragement for.
      You guys can die on this denim skirt hill if you want, but I refuse to be beaten down & made to feel like I’ve done something wrong because ppl have an opinion on a skirt I wore to church. If you think the skirt doesn’t reflect purity then don’t wear it. My sense of purity was still intact when I wore it. God bless x

      There are times when I have had to check myself that I too am not being self-righteous with certain things. As Christians in general we need to do this more before commenting on others.

  • @Byesthermj
    @Byesthermj Місяць тому +10

    Remember that the recipients of Paul's letters were not initially feeling convicted by their actions or attitudes. Yet, Paul addressed their shortcomings directly and boldly, acting as a vessel of the Holy Spirit. He did not shy away from calling out their sins, correcting their errors, and encouraging them to live righteously according to the teachings of Christ. His role as a messenger was to convey God's truth with both love and firmness, guiding them toward repentance, spiritual growth, and a deeper understanding of God's will. Paul’s letters were filled with grace and truth, seeking to transform hearts and minds by the power of the Holy Spirit.
    This shows us that sometimes we may not feel convicted on our own, but God can use others to speak truth into our lives, challenging us to reflect, repent, and draw closer to Him.

    • @thisisamina
      @thisisamina  Місяць тому +3

      Sis Paul's letter had nothing to do with skirt lengths. He was addressing ppl flaunting their wealth to the point that they were making others in the congregation feel less than and unworthy because they did not have the same expensive clothes, pearls and hairstyles. Something that still happens in the church today. Context and theology is important when studying the bible. A lot of big American churches and even churches around the world, make ppl feel like they have to dress up like its the Met Gala to church, or have designer on to fit in, or wear the biggest hat, or buy new clothes for church every week, meanwhile God is concerned about your heart, not how expensive your outfit is to church. I love that my church doesn't make me feel some kind of way if I wear leggings and a t-shirt, or just casual clothes to church. And if you want to dress up that is also okay. Everything else is literally personal opinion for each individual, to and for themselves. The end.

    • @Byesthermj
      @Byesthermj Місяць тому +3

      I understand your point, but I want to clarify that I’m not focusing on that particular verse. I’m speaking about Paul’s letters as a whole. Imagine if Paul had considered everything the Holy Spirit revealed to him as merely his personal convictions and kept it to himself. The church of God would be in disarray. The truth is that the Holy Spirit can indeed interpret a verse in different ways to different people, but that doesn't reduce it to a personal conviction alone.
      We are called to share these insights, encourage one another, and help prevent our brothers and sisters from stumbling. It’s not about rules or mere opinions; it’s about God’s desire for us to live in harmony and unity, upholding His truth.
      While it’s great that you feel comfortable in your church regardless of how you dress, it’s also important to remember that God’s Word isn’t just about our comfort; it is a guide for righteousness. I may not be a minister or pastor, but I am a vessel of God, and I am called to speak His truth, not to condemn but to build up.
      Ultimately, it’s about the heart, but it’s also about living in a way that honors God and helps others draw closer to Him. Our freedom should not cause someone else to stumble. We are all part of the body of Christ, and we must help each other grow in faith and holiness.

    I think there is a bigger convo needed on how women are being policed in churches that has nothing to do with the bible. Some people just go to church for a fashion show and look down on people who do not dress how they do. Its only God that can judge you not the people who are in the church

    • @thisisamina
      @thisisamina  Місяць тому

      It’s the fact that YOU think what I wore was “not of God” when God Himself didn’t say that. Me wearing that skirt is NOT a sin, so why would God judge me for it? It is YOU who is judging me based on YOUR personal opinion & preference. But you’re ignorantly masking your opinion about my skirt as if it’s a biblical command on church dress code when it’s not. Why is that so difficult for you to comprehend? Nowhere in the Bible does it say your skirt needs to be a certain length to enter a church building. What someone believes is “modest” is down to the individual. That’s why ppl in the comments of the reel I saw of that church I mentioned, were upset by the dresses some wore. Although they were way longer than my skirt, they were STILL being told it wasn’t “modest” enough by other Christians. Do you not see the issue here? Your understanding of modesty is all personal opinion & culture based, NOT the Bible or God’s direct command. Pls rest. Nobody is stumbling. These same ppl judging me about this one skirt have seen me wear way shorter things to other places, bikinis, crop tops and they didn’t say a word. All of a sudden I need to be “modest” because of YOUR personal church dress code. Pls rest. Christ didn’t call you to be the authority over everyone on what is or isn’t modest!

However, I would like to respectfully disagree with the outfit to church. The skirt is way above your thighs, and it can cause the men in the church to lust after you. I don’t think modesty is the actual concern here because modesty is a matter of the heart. it is more about causing your fellow brother to fall by lusting after you. For someone who is an advocate for abstaining from sex to marriage, it only makes sense for you to be someone that will want to help the men you’re around not falling into temptation.
