Christians have changed the concept on Dressing and Marriage going against what the Bible said

When you look into the church today, you would see that so many things have changed. Among many things that have changed includes the dress mode and marriage conduct.

Over the years, the church were more organized, in that, Christians have a particular way of life that differentiate them from non-christians or people of other religions. The then church understood the words from the Bible and stood on it. Rules binds everything and you must go by it. But, recently things have changed.

1. In The way We dress

Dressing is one of the major factor that differentiate a Christian for others. But today, one would hardly know who is a Christian anymore. I can still remember those days when you cannot wear a trouser as a female. Because trouser is known to be used by men.

It is barbaric how Christians have change this dress concept and while they justify their actions with reason.

But when you look at it keenly, the Bible hasn't change even if the world or technology has. Does it mean we are changing what the Bible said?

What the Bible said about women dressing, according to first Timothy 2 : 9.




"And I want women to be modest in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes."

God himself want Christians to dress in respectable apparels, not 'too-too' expensive.

Today, Christians even enjoy dressing out of moderation, which includes opening their bodies, and wearing what belongs to the other genders.

2. In The way We Marry Each Other





Before now the Christian marriage has a way and rules to it. You would not just pick a girl or a guy from the street and marry.

Your proposed spouse must be a devoted Christian who must have been fed with a lot of counselling. It may not necessary to be that, the two are from the same church, but most old time churches recommends marrying from the same doctrine so as to ease the marriage counseling sessions.

It is also a must for them not to defile their bed before marriage. However, Today couples get married to each other after a lot of sexual rumble. While some get attached without marriage, giving birth out of wedlock. Many connect this to other worldly teaching like:

- what if after marriage he is impotent?

- what if she cannot get pregnant after marriage?

- I need to test my thing to know first! - "testing kii you there"

I am sure that God never made any one impotent and barren. He made everything perfect. And HE only designed sex strictly for married people in the song of solomon 5 : 12

I don't know if this is what the pastors now teaches, but I doubt it. Christians personally have changed the whole concept about so many things I cannot mention all; allowed to be influenced by mordern day culture, and going against what the Bible said.

But, we should not forget that if culture has change, The word of God hasn't.
