Visit the christianity.com forums

Just as a follow up on my post about polygamy, I would encourage you to visit this christianity.com forum about polygamy. There has been a lot of interesting comments and arguments brought up supporting both sides.

Another interesting question brought up on one of the forums is if modesty standards are dictated by culture or not. I have commented on this issue and, as many of you probably expect, I think it's culturally dictated. I don't see where the Bible says, other than New Testament Law, how people should dress. It says that we are not to cause others to stumble; but, what I might call immodest, in some cultures is perfectly normal and is not looked upon as something sexual. For people that think it's an issue of right or wrong, my question to them is: What is the right modesty standards for Christians? I think anyone would have a hard time answering this question because it varies even within people in America. Some see women wearing pants as wrong, while other see it has acceptable. In any case, the forum is interesting and you should take a look!
