[From a thread on what True Christians(TM) should not read/watch. The usual suspects are there e.g., Harry Potter, but VeggieTales? Seriously?]
...s anyone else bothered by Vegietales? I have seen a few and I think some of them (if not all) are disrespectful to God's Word and don't tell the exact story in the Bible. One episode I saw had nothing to do with God (except one mention of His name) and sounded like a rock concert.
I have no respect for Shakespeare - though the world certainly does (because he was of the world). I can't remember the specifics now - but the amount of different English words he used in his books was significantly higher than the amount of one and two syllable words used in the KJV. People who will flock to see/watch (in a movie) his plays or read his plays complain that they can't understand the KJV - but you don't see them whining that they have to look up some of Shakespeare's words. With the KJV, we have a lot less words to look up - and it is certainly more valuable study time. I love The KJV Defined with the hard words at the bottom of the page, and Brother Cloud also has a book called (I think) The King James Bible Companion, which is basically a small dictionary that will fit inside a Bible case with your Bible - so you would always have it with you if you have one of those cases. His Way Of Life Encyclopedia also has all those definitions too. Add a Strong's Concordance and a Webster's 1828 Dictionary (both of which are available online and in most or many Bible programs), and you will have no problems (if you are saved and walking with the Lord) in understanding the Word of God.
Sarah - Yes, in my opinion "leggins" are just like pants, only tighter. If I were to wear them, I would wear them under a long skirt to keep warm or to keep covered if I was camping, etc. It is always good to submit to your dear husband as long as he is not asking you to go against God; I agree w/ the other ladies on this... and God will bless you for this. But what I would personally do is (if he really wants you to wear these & other things you might feel convicted not to wear out of modesty) - I would nicely sit down w/ your husband & say that God has convicted you to wear skirts & dresses so you can be more modest for your Lord and you ONLY want him (your husband) to see your body in form fitting clothes & short, etc. at home... and that you are saving your body JUST for him, and that you would not want to cause anyone else to sin by being uncovered or having on clothing that was too tight. And also ask him if he would please help you in your walk w/ Christ by allowing & aiding you in serving the Lord better in this area of modest dress. I know that your humbleness in asking him this favor will most likely make him want to help you here, and don't be surprised if pretty soon God is not convicting his heart too. People normally like to help & they LOVED to be asked for their help (they like to feel needed), I bet your hubby will want to help you in any way he can w/ this. Hope this helps & GL! God bless!!! :)
[Re: Are Leggings Pants?]
Dear Sarah, I love that you asking for advice! I will try to give you what I feel God would want you to know. If I understand what you are referring to (leggings), they are tighter then pants are. They are made to almost look like tights only they are a stretchy material, right? Well I wouldn't wear my tights without a dress over and it is the same with leggings! They are to form fitting and therefore worse to be worn than pants. Now as far as wearing them underneath your dresses, that will have to come from your heart and your God's leadings. I cannot force my convictions on you and I would never criticize your personal convictions! So let God's word tell you, search the scriptures, take what God says and apply it to your life. That way you can never go wrong!!!
