Have you ever counseled men whose lives are devastated, even destroyed, because of addiction to pornography, sex, or their involvement in immorality, and abortion? I have. It's heartbreaking to say the least, and it takes an enormous amount of work to overcome the effects. It is a horror to me that the church would not stand up to stem the tide when it's in her power. I am not saying that women who expose a lot of skin in church are the cause of all those problems, but they inflame the situation.

The churchgoing men to whom I refer are not oversexed. They are just garden variety men with normal male reactions. Perhaps if you lived with a man's reactions for a week, or counseled some of them, you'd get a better idea of why these guys have asked the pastor to speak up.

Why should it be thought so unusual that the church would seek to help men and women keep from sinning and stumbling one another? Jesus came to make it possible, at last, for people to overcome sin. I don't understand why this is thought to be a bad thing.

I cannot believe what you just posted. To say that women who expose skin in church inflame the situation is a bit like saying that children who wear short shorts inflame the pedophile and people who wear crosses inflame the terrorists. To make a teeny excuse for that kind of man, to place one iota of burden of guilt of a woman is insane.
