Should christian girls' wear skirts/dresses?

uhh there id nothing in the bible that says you have to wear skirts. but there is something about modesty.

Hi Filda,

I just read about that the other day as a matter of fact and after reading and reading I finally understood what it meant. It said that if a woman shaves her head she should cover it while praying because a shaved head on a woman is a disgrace to God..and if she does have a shaved head she should cover it. I know we are suppose to cover our heads if they are shaved but im not sure about everyday of the week. I know way back in biblical times Christian women did cover their heads and some still do now, even in churches. I guess if your head isn’t shven its a matter of personal choice. I know a lady who started wearing hijab because she was tired of men whistling at her. I actually think it’s not such a bad idea. I personally dont cover my head, I just began to wear skirts like I am suppose to. I may try covering my head from time to time. I hope I answered your question.

salam friends im fida khan I want to ask you question please show modesty while anserwing me I just want to know that in your bible there is a verse in which write thatwoman should covered their head if she dont do like that to shave their head.so please tell me are you obey your religion or not

Im a christian and I dont wear skirts but I would like to if it was practical for me. I do think that wearing dresses or skirts for women is better because God is pro having clear dilineation betwen males and females. He is not the author of confusion the devil is, and thats why God says its better for men to have short hair and women should have long hair because we are different for good reason and by Godsdesign and women should look like women and men should look like men. God is into simplifying things for us. Skirts should always be tasteful though and not revealingly short.

There’s a certain sect in Christianity where girls can’t where anything but skirts & dresses because it’s a sin to dress manly.

But why do Christian girls’ wear skirts??

…why not?

there are some churches who require their female members to wear skirts

I’m 16, and a proud Penetecostal. I only wear skirts, I wear nightgowns even to sleep. This walk is about sacrifices, if after accepting God -I don’t change or sacrifice.. then whats the point. If Christianity was meant to be easy.. then don’t you think everyone would be a Christian -__-. & my church’s doctrine (rules) includes that we are not to wear pants.. & the bible says that we are to obey the doctrine, If not - we are being defiant. =) If you have anymore questions, www.myspace.com/babycakesss

Before the 60s women did not wear pants,the pants were invented for women when women rebeled and decided that they did not want to be housewives and that they should be allowed to work and do just as a man which is not biblical.WOmen are not allowed to dress like men and besides pants reveal and advertise your body that should only be your husbands and if your not married it should be the lords so you should not be exposing its godly shape.Its not any churches rule its the bibles rule but some churches to please the people choose not to follow the rules in its interity.It is also a sign of discipline to follow his rules…its a difficult sacrifice but its worth it<3Im also a pentecostal and im 18 married and with 2 children.

Well, I only wear skirts, because I feel that if I am wearing pants I only blend in with the worldy people. Wearing only skirts makes me stand out and people see me and say, “Hey! That girl is a christian!” Or “She is living her life for God.” That is my own personal conviction though. You shouldn’t live your life according to the way that men tell you is right. The Bible says to work out your own plan of salvation. God bless.

ummh, well, its not required… im a christian, and I dont rely wear skirts. I dont evn own one anymore… =P lol ^_^ you dont have to… I think its more their choice–or they’re in one of the more strict christian branches. I think im baptist. =P and they dont have any rule like that. lol

one verse in the Bible refers to apparal of women when talking about modesty. the greek translation of the word for apparal used there is long robe. make what you will of it. im not saying we should all wear long robes, but it is something to think about. I wear skirts most of the time because I prefer them. I feel prettier, more comfortable, and with the skirts I wear, more modest. personally I feel that the most important thing to focus on is letting God shine through us. to show people full love of God. love was stressed more than almost anything else in the Bible
