Dress to Caress
You most likely will not find the topic title "word" above in any dictionary, while - using your semantical imagination - will most likely get meaning from the aforementioned alpha-numeric oddity printed and posted.
"Dress to WHAT?" We are curious creatures (not in the "peculiar" sense), and crave finding out and becoming aware of what is hidden or being hidden. The drive to explore and discover is ingrained within us.
For many or most, the weirdly-lettered inference will convey a sexually-obscene connotation . . . inclusion of a too-graphic overly-explicit pejorative or rude and obnoxious expletive.
Understandable, considering the why of the context in which the abbreviated conglomeration: "fk" is usually imposed and contained within.
Now, I am aware of the preferences and prejudices of everyone, and for me (this webpage author) to print and post the lettering "fk" is dicey, being that many or most would henceforth "throw the baby out with the bathwater" and promptly cease reading any further concerning what could be construed while besieged by their "weaker brother" or "weaker sister" immentality, bringing to mind certain Scriptural applications:
Romans 14:21 it is right not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that makes your [neighbor] stumble.
First Corinthians 8:1 [paraphrased] Now concerning use of "four-lettered words", we know that all of us possess knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
8:4 Hence, as to the printing and posting of, or uttering, sexually-oriented four-lettered words (pertaining to urination, defecation, copulative/coital sexual intercourse, etc.) . . .
8:8 Words will not commend us to God. We are no worse off if we use graphic or explicit terminology, and no better off if we do.
8:9 Only take care lest this liberty of yours somehow become a stumbling block to the weak,
8:10 because if any one sees [or hears] you, a person of knowledge, using what many or most consider crude or improper terms usually associated with evil associations, might they not be incited, if their conscience is weak, to themselves engage in such evil associations?
8:11 And so by your knowledge this weak person is destroyed: the one for whom Christ died.
8:12 Thus, sinning against your comrades and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.
8:13 Therefore, if certain explicit or graphic terminology is a cause of my comrade's falling, I will never use such words while they are nearby, lest I cause them to stumble.
First Corinthians 10:25 [paraphrased] Read whatever is sold on the internet and in print without raising any question on the ground of conscience.
10:27 If one of the disbelievers invites you to read something and you are obligated to do it, read whatever is set before you without raising any question on the ground of conscience.
10:28 But if someone says to you: "This fk word has been associated with fornication or adultery or sodomy," then out of consideration for the one who informed you, and for conscience' sake
10:29 (I mean their conscience, not yours) do not read it, because why should my liberty be determined by another persons's perhaps-bigoted viewpoint?
So, why use four-lettered terms at all - ever, with anyone? To increase persuasion? To try to make them "wake up" and pay attention and realize that what is described (or to be described) is absolutely crucial and vital and extremely important (though not necessarily "critical")?
Well . . .
It behooves everyone to realize that the very first Prime Directive the Creator God gave to all humans and (by implication, ALL future humans) was to "fk" (excuse me) - or (to put it in a more "refined" way) - to copulatively connect in reproduction-intended genital-with-genital sexual-intercourse copulation:
Genesis 1:28 And God blessed [humankind], and God said to them: "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the Earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the Earth."
Perhaps the word "fruitful" above is somewhat vague, but combining with the clarification word: "multiply" makes it obvious and clear that coital copulation (or "fk-ing") is our first and foremost duty and obligation . . . or, at least, predicted and prophesied proclivity.
But, part of the horrific anti-moral deviation committed by inferior-gender Eve and then Adam in the primordial Garden immediately involved a sexually-oriented malignment and distortion and aberration related to the phenomenon of human nudity (obviously sexually-oriented) and both self-imposed and God-accentuated restriction, if not "regarding" nor "concerning" while at least "pertaining to" that:
Genesis 3:7 Then the "eyes of both were opened," and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons.
And:
Genesis 3:21 And the LORD God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins, and clothed them.
. . . shawled hair up or tied back for her, and armwear plus legwear and footwear for both in the most Divine fashionable style then available.
So much for the lost opportunity of Earth becoming populated into one big happy public nudist park:
Second Samuel 13:18 [RSV, ESV, NASB - not KJV nor NKJV nor NIV] =
Now [Tamar] was wearing a full-length gown with long sleeves, because with such were the virgin daughters of the king traditionally clad . . .
Oh well, protective clothes have their advantages for many different and potentially-dangerous things people do and harsh conditions they do them in.
And, contrary to what Satan insinuated (who, in overbroad deceptively-dishonest lying inference that the human pair could not eat of ANY tree whatsoever in the Garden), temporary human (and even heterosexual) nudity is condoned as acceptable under certain conditions, both positive:
Song of Solomon 2:14 Oh MY dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the covert of the cliff, let ME see YOUR face, let ME hear YOUR voice, because YOUR voice is sweet, and YOUR face is attractive.
. . . and negative:
Numbers 5 [RSV, ESV, NASB - not KJV nor NKJV nor NIV] =
5:11 And the LORD said to Moses:
5:12 Say to the people of Israel: "If any man's wife goes astray and acts unfaithfully against him,
5:13 if a man lies with her carnally, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband, and she is undetected though she has defiled herself, and there is no witness against her, being that she was not taken in the act;
5:14 and if the spirit of jealousy comes upon him, and he is jealous of his wife who has defiled herself; or if the spirit of jealousy comes upon him, and he is jealous of his wife, though she has not defiled herself;
5:15 then the man shall bring his wife to the priest . . .
5:18 And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and unbind the hair of the woman's head" . . . [loosen her chignon or up-do or single-back-of-head ponytail and let her long hair hang down]
Could that action by a male priest nowadays be considered fourth or fifth-degree sexual assault, or at least criminally taking sexual liberties, with and against another man's wife?
A non-midwife male gyno or male obstetrician messing around with the private parts of someone else's spouse is one thing, but disrupting her shawled or non-shawled hair-do? Too much!
Leviticus 18:11 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister.
18:12 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister; she is your aunt.
18:13 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister, she is your aunt.
18:14 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's brother, she is your aunt.
18:15 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law.
18:16 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother's wife.
Isaiah 20:3 the LORD said: "As my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot for three years as a sign and a portent against Egypt and Ethiopia,
Isaiah 20:4 so shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians captives and the Ethiopians exiles, both the young and the old, naked and barefoot, with buttocks uncovered, to the SHAME of Egypt.
Isaiah 47:1 Come down and sit in the dust, virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, daughter of the Chaldeans, because you shall no more be called tender and delicate.
47:2 Take the millstones and grind meal, put off your veil, strip off your robe, uncover your legs, pass through the rivers [go swimming?].
47:3 Your nakedness shall be uncovered, and your shame shall be seen. I will take vengeance, and I will spare no person.
47:4 Our Redeemer, the LORD of hosts is his name: the Holy One of Israel.
47:5 Sit in silence, and go into darkness, daughter of the Chaldeans, because you shall no more be called the mistress of kingdoms.
Jeremiah 2:20 "Long ago you broke your yoke and burst your bonds; and you said: 'I will not serve.' Yes, upon every high hill and under every green tree you bowed down as a harlot.
2:21 Yet I planted you a choice vine, completely of pure seed. How then have you turned degenerate and become a wild vine?
2:22 Though you wash yourself with lye and use much soap, the stain of your guilt is still before me," says the Lord GOD.
2:23 How can you say: '"I am not defiled, I have not gone after idolatrous Hollywood/Playboy styles'? Look at your way in the valley; know what you have done: a restless young camel interlacing her tracks,
2:24 a wild ass used to the wilderness, in her heat sniffing the wind! Who can restrain her lust? None who seek her need weary themselves; in her month they will find her.
2:25 Keep your feet from going unshod and your throat from thirst. But you said: 'It is hopeless, because I have loved strangers, and after them I will go.' "
Ezekiel 16:37 '" . . . therefore, hey, I will gather all your lovers, with whom you took pleasure, all those you lusted with and all those you loathed; I will gather them against you from every side, and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.
If practically anyone who lived in America before 1910 came back to life, and saw those to be seen in a typical shopping center or mall or in a grocery store or at a county or state fair (or even within church sanctuaries) especially during warm spring and summer days, they first thing they would notice - with shock - is the lewd and lascivious indecently-exposed mopheadedness and naked arms and nude legs and socksless feet in sandals of shameless pseudo-"christian" pagan-and-heathen girls and young-to-older women pseudo-innocently and freely and casually roaming around without condemnatory recrimination nor being arrested for committing public nuisance or indecent conduct.
Ephesians 4:19 they have become callous and have given themselves up to [porno/adulterously-indecently-attired] licentiousness, greedy to practice every kind of uncleanness.
The pilgrims and puritan pioneers of early America and the Old West escaped the nude-"art" sculptures and statues and paintings of decadent Europe . . . even though some saloons, bars, and taverns here and there throughout the 1800s in the United States had mounted paintings of nude female exhibitionists (note that I did NOT use the respectful term: "ladies").
That is not to say that there are a few (a blessed moral minority and not majority) who have not and do not hedonistically display their what St Paul would call "unpresentable parts" in public which should only be exposed in private when alone or with spouse out of general public view.
And the at-least-partially-honorable "some" who should be included are "philistine-like" cultic
maryolatrous/purgatorial/apocryphal nun-clothed catholics and allah/koran/mohammad-prostrate islamic muslims in burkas and hijabs:
Ezekiel 16:27 Hey, therefore, I stretched out my hand against you, and diminished your allotted portion, and delivered you to the greed of your enemies, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your lewd behavior.
Ezekiel 16:52 Bear your disgrace, you also, because you have made judgment favorable to your sisters, because of your sins in which you acted more abominably than they; they are more in the right than you. So be ashamed, you also, and bear your disgrace, because you have made your sisters appear righteous.
Vital-to-specifically-elaborating-upon selected and pertinent aspects and discussion about certain body-parts modesty is also summarized with the New-Testament additions of:
Romans 12:2 Do not be conformed to this [immodest-sex-objects-displayed] world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
First Peter 1:14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the [misdressed-to-adulterate] passions of your former ignorance,
1:15 but as He who called you is holy, be [modestly and decently] holy yourselves in all your [non-porno public-attire] conduct;
1:16 being that it is written: "You shall be holy, because I am holy."
First Timothy 2:8 I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling;
2:9 also that women should be previously adorned modestly and sensibly in decent apparel, not with plaited hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing
2:10 but by good works, as befits women who profess religion.
2:11 Have a woman learn in silence with all subjection.
2:12 I allow no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to keep silent,
2:13 because Adam was formed first, then Eve;
2:14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.
2:15 Yet woman will be saved by bearing children [not using condoms nor spermicides nor abortion-homicide], if she continues in faith and love and holiness, with sanity.
First Timothy 5:14 So I would have younger women (NOT merely: "widows" as most modern versions mistranslate the Greek word: ne(o)teras) marry, bear children, manage their households, and give the enemy no cause to revile us,
First Timothy 5:15 being that some have already strayed after Satan.
First Peter 3:1 Likewise you wives, be submissive to your husbands, so that some, though they do not obey the Word, may be won without a word by the [modest and chaste] behavior of their wives
James 3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy [of more-slender-and-shapely bodies of other gals] and selfish [Bathsheba-bathing-nude?-to-entice-David-reminiscent] ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth.
Should we merely or simply be titillated by, enjoy, and appreciate the R-to-XXX pics and vids of Google-keyworded websites on the internet while we are deprived in lonely isolation? At least the fornicators and adulterers in such are fulfilling God's Genesis-instructed command to procreate (as long as they culminate in "creampies" with semen visibly oozing out of sperm-filled vaginas, without, in pregnancy-preventing coitus interruptus, squirting the cum elsewhere onto their bodies).
Not according to what Israel's King Solomon scripturally exclaimed regarding (and not "concerning") HIS OWN bride, HIS OWN spouse, HIS OWN beloved, the "WIFE of his youth" (not harlot nor whore nor slut nor prostitute nor even mistress), and what SHE (not as a "cold fish") compliantly, eagerly, and affectionately responded back to him:
Song of Solomon 7:1 How graceful are YOUR footsteps in sandals, royal maiden! Your rounded thighs are like jewels, the work of a master hand.
7:2 Your navel is a rounded bowl that never lacks mixed wine. Your belly is a heap of wheat, encircled with lilies.
7:3 Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle.
7:4 Your neck is like an ivory tower. Your eyes are pools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim. Your nose is like a tower of Lebanon, overlooking Damascus.
7:5 Your head crowns you like Carmel, and YOUR flowing locks are like purple; a king is held captive in the tresses.
7:6 How fair and pleasant you are, loved one, delectable maiden!
7:7 YOU are stately as a palm tree, and YOUR breasts are like its clusters.
7:8 I say I will climb the palm tree and lay hold of its branches. Oh, may YOUR breasts be like clusters of the vine, and the scent of YOUR breath like apples,
7:9 and YOUR kisses like the best wine that goes down smoothly, flowing over the lips of sleepers
7:10 I am MY beloved's, and HIS desire is for ME.
7:11 Come, MY beloved, let US go forth into the fields, and lodge in the villages;
7:12 let US go out early to the vineyards, and see whether the vines have budded, whether the grape blossoms have opened and the pomegranates are in bloom. There I will give you MY love.
7:13 The mandrakes give forth fragrance, and over OUR doors are all choice fruits, new as well as old, which I have laid up for YOU, MY beloved.
Does that, and should that, include vulva-licking cunnilingus and penis-mouthing fellatio?
Song of Solomon 5:1 I come to MY garden, MY sister, MY bride, I gather my myrrh with MY spice, I eat my honeycomb with MY honey, I drink my wine with MY milk. Eat, friends, and drink: drink deeply, lovers!
Isaiah 66:11 . . . that you may suck and be satisfied with HER consoling breasts; that you may drink deeply with delight from the abundance of HER glory."
Ever hear of the words: "selective" and "discretionary" and "righteously discriminating"?
Proverbs 3:7 [paraphrased] Be not wise in your own eyes; fear (be afraid of but without retreating, not simply "respect") the LORD, and turn away from [immodestly-misattired] evil.
Proverbs 4:15 Avoid it; do not go on it; turn away from it and pass on.
Isaiah 42:19 Who is blind but my [not-viewing-immodest-females] servant, or deaf as my [not-hearing-orgasmic-sounding-female-vocalists-and-singers] messenger whom I send? Who is blind as my dedicated one, or blind as the servant of the LORD?
Proverbs 5:15 Drink water from your own cistern, flowing water from your own well.
5:16 Should your springs be scattered abroad, streams of water in the streets?
5:17 Let them be for yourself alone, and not for strangers with you.
5:18 Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth,
5:19 a lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her nipples [Hebrew word, not simply: "breasts"] fill you at all times with delight, be turned on always with her love.
5:20 Why should you be infatuated, my son, with a loose woman and embrace the boobs of an adventuress?
5:21 because a man's ways are before the eyes of the LORD, and He watches all his paths.
5:22 The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him, and he is caught in the labors of his sin.
5:23 He dies for lack of discipline, and because of his great foolishness, he is lost.
Proverbs14:16 [paraphrased] A wise man is cautious and turns away from [indecently-exposed-females] evil, but a fool throws off restraint and is careless.
Proverbs 17:12 Let a man meet a she-bear robbed of her cubs, rather than a fool in her [mopheaded-or-other-immodest] folly.
Proverbs 12:15 The way of an immodest floozy is right in her own eyes, but a wise gal listens to be-modest-in-hairstyle-and-clothing advice.
Proverbs 13:19 A desire fulfilled is sweet to the soul; but to turn away from [immodest-girls-in-public] evil is an abomination to fools.
Proverbs 15:3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, keeping watch on the [mopheaded-gals] evil and the [back-of-head-ponytailed-gals] good.
Proverbs 16:2 All the ways of a [immodestly-irrationalizing-with-doctrines-of-demons] woman are pure in her own eyes, but the LORD weighs the spirit.
Proverbs 17:24 A man of understanding sets his face toward wisdom, but the eyes of a [look-around-everywhere-for-immodesty] fool are on the ends of the Earth.
Proverbs 21:2 Every way of a [enticing-men-by-immodesty] gal is right in her own eyes, but the LORD weighs the heart.
Proverbs 21:4 Haughty eyes and a proud heart, the lamp of the [guys-like-my-immodesty/my-immodesty-does-not-bother-guys/I-don't-care-if-guys-don't-like-my-immodesty] wicked, are sin.
So, as the [did-God-say-that-you-cannot-eat-of-ANY-tree-in-the-Garden] Devil might suggest: "ALL sex and language relating to sex is mind-in-the-gutter potty-mouthed dirty and filthy?"
IS all human nudity (at birth and for spouses reminded to "Take It Home" or "Get a Room") disgusting and forbidden and noxiously obscene?
Exclusionary sex between married-only spouses (be they State-certified married, or in a concubinal consensual/consenting-adult cohabitational marriage) is obviously desired and acceptable (and, for Christians, marriage ONLY with Law-and-Gospel believers in words and actions is mandatory per Second Corinthians 6:14-18!), according to:
Song of Solomon 5:1 I come to my garden, my sister, my bride, I gather my myrrh with my spice, I eat my honeycomb with my honey, I drink my wine with my milk. Eat, friends, and drink: drink deeply, lovers!
Isaiah 66:11 . . . that you may suck and be satisfied with her consoling breasts; that you may drink deeply with delight from the abundance of her glory."
Song of Solomon 4:12 A garden locked is my sister, my bride, a garden locked, a fountain sealed.
Song of Solomon 8:12 MY vineyard, my very own, is for myself; you, Solomon, may have the thousand, and the keepers of the fruit two hundred.
So, meanwhile, what are we supposed to do about particularly teen gals exposing their arms and especially legs in general public view as at a county or state fair, or along the roadside walking or jogging or biking?
Matthew 13:24 Another parable [Jesus] put before them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven can be compared to a man who planted good seed in his field;
13:25 but while men were sleeping, his enemy came and planted weeds among the wheat, and went away.
13:26 So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also.
13:27 And the servants of the householder came and said to him: "Sir, did you not plant good seed in your field? How then has it weeds?"
[Romans 2:23 You who boast in the Law, do you dishonor God by disobeying the Law?
Romans 2:24 As it is written: "The name of God is blasphemed among the nations because of you."]
Matthew 13:28 He said to them: "An enemy has done this." The servants said to him: "Then do you want us to go and gather them?"'
13:29 But he replied: "'No; lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them."
13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will tell the reapers: "Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn."
Revelation 22:11 Let the evildoer still do evil, and the [mopheaded/sleevesless/slacksless-in-shorts/socksless immodest-in-public] filthy still be filthy, and the [ponytailed/long-armwear-legwear-footwear-clothed] righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.
On the other hand . . .
Psalm 50:21 These things you have done and I have been silent; you thought that I was one like yourself. But now I rebuke you, and lay the charge before you.
Psalm 119:21 You do rebuke the insolent, accursed [immodest] ones [with sunburn, skin cancer, rape], who wander from your [always-be-completely-modest-in-general-public-view] commandments;
Psalm 141:5 Let a good person strike or rebuke me in kindness, but let the oil of the [immodestly indecent] wicked never anoint my head, because my prayer is continually against their [mopheaded/sleevesless/slacksless-in-shorts/socksless-in-sandals] wicked works.
Proverbs 13:1 A wise son hears his father's instruction, but an [immodesty-tolerating-or-promoting] scoffer does not listen to rebuke.
Proverbs 17:10 A rebuke goes deeper into a [total-modesty-minded] person of understanding than a hundred blows into a [immodest-exhibitionism-flaunting] fool.
Proverbs 24:25 but those who rebuke the [mopheaded/sleevesless/slacksless-in-shorts/socksless-in-sandals] wicked will have delight, and a good blessing will be upon them.
First Timothy 5:20 As for those [immodest-in-general-public-view] who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all [as they literally do in Iran and other Middle-Eastern countries with their military Modesty Police], so that the other may stand in fear (not merely "reverent respect").
Second Timothy 4:2 preach the [public-modesty-and-gospel-for-the-penitent-promoting] Word, be urgent in season and out of season, convince, rebuke, and exhort, be unfailing in patience and in teaching.
Titus 1:13 This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them (i.e. pro-immodesty heretics) sharply, that they may be sound in the faith.
Matthew 18:15 If your sister [immodestly] sins against you, go and tell her her fault, between you and her alone. If she listens to you, you have gained your sister.
Luke 17:4 . . . and if she [immodestly] sins against you seven times in the day, and [IF she] turns to you seven times, and says: "I repent," you must forgive her."
First Corinthians 6:18 Shun immorality. Every other sin which a woman commits is outside the body; but the immoral [and mopheaded/sleevesless/slacksless-in-shorts-or-slitted-skirt/socksless-in-sandals-or-flipflops-immodest] gal sins against her own body.
Eventually, the LORD will have it so that everyone is mandated to EITHER be completely and modestly dressed with proper hairstyle with full-length armwear and legwear and footwear (that will be THE non-removable-in-public only fashion and style of clothing available) within the pleasant temperatures of Paradise with a God who sees everyone naked according to Hebrews 4:13. . . OR be completely naked (within the Outer Darkness while forever tormented and suspended in solitary confinement within the invisible flames of the Lake of Fire).
Ultimately, everyone will NOT be amalgamated together into one polluted piss-with-pop poop-with-pudding disgusting mixture, and instead of indiscriminate inclusive diversity of good with evil and evil with good, there will be wonderful separation and exclusion of those who always wanted to be FOR instead of AGAINST the Lord and His holy ways, but were lamentably under temptational duress -- contrasted with those who always wanted to be AGAINST instead of FOR the Lord and His holy ways, who inwardly wanted to defiantly rebel, but were uncomfortably under righteous influence to obey the Law and be good when they really never wanted to be good underneath it all.
