This is the most spiritual activity I have found I can do outside, visiting a Temple and doing ordinances within!

Reply to Facebook post Modest is hottest
Interesting article… and good yet I feel it comes from a worldly standpoint (or center). It states the beliefs of the world, and then goes on to almost a contradiction with itself and yet still makes a good point at the end.
Don’t we read in Scripture "The natural man is an enemy to God and has been from the fall of Adam" -- "all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" -- "For we know that it is by grace that we are saved even after all we can do." ? (see Mosiah 3:19, Ephesians 2:5, 2 Nephi 25:23, Romans 3:23)
The problem with the world's center is that it had chosen to believe that when our God given natural brain chemicals are excited and react as they are designed to act, we term this as "being Hot" and this is how women need to dress in order to attract a man. (what it fail to recognize and accept is that God has commanded that such chemicals only be fully released within the bonds of marriage) ---
As this article states, Yes a man will be attracted to the out of marriage chemical reacion, but if you are attracting a man based SOLEY on his inability to control and be master of his own bodily chemicals, you are choosing to invite a man that, in many cases, will move on as soon as the woman stops causing his brain chemicals to run and tell him "oh I still like this girl" (hence the root of the decline to marriage, men and women just can't keep up the all continuous ‘need’ to cause the brain chemicals to be ever-active – they then turn to outside factors in order to get and keep up the stimulation, and find that outside factors do not sustain a marriage but actually tear it down)
Yes modest is hottest as it signifies a woman who is content as being who she is, for what she is, and that is she is a Daughter of God with infinite worth.
As a world we need to shift the focus to Bikini-clad women are not hot (and see the reality) bodies are being used as tools of deception to excite the men around them and to receive some attention. .. And the old adage holds true, "Bad attention is better than no attention at all."
In reality the true focus of a men and woman need depend on what age they have come to. Young ladies need to learn how to be young ladies, playing with dolls and being loved, held, and have attention given them by their mother AND father. Boys will be boys, mud, bugs, water fights and wrestling/chase games ... School age need to be focused on learning and eventually choosing a life goal, preferably based on service for our own natural tendencies to shine out. Along that way boys and girls needs to educated as to the perils of her bodily changes including the increase in chemicals and how these chemicals and their emotions need to be controlled and tempered. (Enter parents again to help out and guide)
At the appropriate age, 16, dating can begin in groups and eventually move along into appropriate one on one (in a two on two group for safety) dating till the individuals choose ONE, seek God’s sanctification of their choice, and then move on into marriage. (age at least 23 I feel, but that can be per the individuals choice) Then the real work will begin!
To seek a marriage or relationship that can be forever fulfilling, the inclusion of God needs to be in the picture from start to finish. Now don’t go out and think this is a bizarre saying, go get educated on the subject before you pass judgment, Look up M. Russell Ballard “women of righteousness”, then “Of Souls, symbols, and sacraments” by Jeffrey R. Holland (read and study both) then further (if needed) the BOOK “Purity and Passion” by Dr. Wendy Watson .

Mormon 3:17-22
17 Therefore I write aunto you, Gentiles, and also unto you, house of Israel, when the work shall commence, that ye shall be about to prepare to return to the land of your inheritance;
18 Yea, behold, I write unto all the ends of the earth; yea, unto you, twelve tribes of Israel, who shall be judged according to your works by the twelve whom Jesus chose to be his disciples in the land of Jerusalem.
19 And I write also unto the remnant of this people, who shall also be judged by the twelve whom Jesus chose in this land; and they shall be judged by the other twelve whom Jesus chose in the land of Jerusalem.
20 And these things doth the Spirit manifest unto me; therefore I write unto you all. And for this cause I write unto you, that ye may know that ye must all stand before the judgment–seat of Christ, yea, every soul who belongs to the whole human family of Adam; and ye must stand to be judged of your works, whether they be good or evil;
21 And also that ye may believe the gospel of Jesus Christ, which ye shall have among you; and also that the Jews, the covenant people of the Lord, shall have other witness besides him whom they saw and heard, that Jesus, whom they slew, was the every Christ and the very God.
22 And I would that I could persuade all ye ends of the earth to repent and prepare to stand before the judgment–seat of Christ.

Emphasis on 27-28, it seems our world is moving more toward this than it recognizes
17 But behold, if the inhabitants of the earth shall repent of their wickedness and abominations they shall not be destroyed, saith the Lord of Hosts.
18 But behold, that great and abominable church, the whore of all the earth, must tumble to the earth, and great must be the fall thereof.
19 For the kingdom of the devil must shake, and they which belong to it must needs be stirred up unto repentance, or the devil will grasp them with his everlasting chains, and they be stirred up to anger, and perish;
20 For behold, at that day shall he rage in the hearts of the children of men, and stir them up to anger against that which is good.
21 And others will he pacify, and lull them away into carnal security, that they will say: All is well in Zion; yea, Zion prospereth, all is well—and thus the devil cheateth their souls, and leadeth them away carefully down to hell.
22 And behold, others he flattereth away, and telleth them there is no hell; and he saith unto them: I am no devil, for there is none—and thus he whispereth in their ears, until he grasps them with his awful chains, from whence there is no deliverance.
23 Yea, they are grasped with death, and hell; and death, and hell, and the devil, and all that have been seized therewith must stand before the throne of God, and be judged according to their works, from whence they must go into the place prepared for them, even a lake of fire and brimstone, which is endless torment.
24 Therefore, wo be unto him that is at ease in Zion!
25 Wo be unto him that crieth: All is well!
26 Yea, wo be unto him that hearkeneth unto the precepts of men, and denieth the power of God, and the gift of the Holy Ghost!
27 Yea, wo be unto him that saith: We have received, and we need no more!
28 And in fine, wo unto all those who tremble, and are angry because of the truth of God! For behold, he that is built upon the rock receiveth it with gladness; and he that is built upon a sandy foundation trembleth lest he shall fall.
29 Wo be unto him that shall say: We have received the word of God, and we need no more of the word of God, for we have enough!
30 For behold, thus saith the Lord God: I will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts, and lend an ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn wisdom; for unto him that receiveth I will give more; and from them that shall say, We have enough, from them shall be taken away even that which they have.
31 Cursed is he that putteth his trust in man, or maketh flesh his arm, or shall hearken unto the precepts of men, save their precepts shall be given by the power of the Holy Ghost.
32 Wo be unto the Gentiles, saith the Lord God of Hosts! For notwithstanding I shall lengthen out mine arm unto them from day to day, they will deny me; nevertheless, I will be merciful unto them, saith the Lord God, if they will repent and come unto me; for mine arm is lengthened out all the day long, saith the Lord God of Hosts.
18 But behold, that great and abominable church, the whore of all the earth, must tumble to the earth, and great must be the fall thereof.
19 For the kingdom of the devil must shake, and they which belong to it must needs be stirred up unto repentance, or the devil will grasp them with his everlasting chains, and they be stirred up to anger, and perish;
20 For behold, at that day shall he rage in the hearts of the children of men, and stir them up to anger against that which is good.
21 And others will he pacify, and lull them away into carnal security, that they will say: All is well in Zion; yea, Zion prospereth, all is well—and thus the devil cheateth their souls, and leadeth them away carefully down to hell.

23 Yea, they are grasped with death, and hell; and death, and hell, and the devil, and all that have been seized therewith must stand before the throne of God, and be judged according to their works, from whence they must go into the place prepared for them, even a lake of fire and brimstone, which is endless torment.
24 Therefore, wo be unto him that is at ease in Zion!
25 Wo be unto him that crieth: All is well!
26 Yea, wo be unto him that hearkeneth unto the precepts of men, and denieth the power of God, and the gift of the Holy Ghost!
27 Yea, wo be unto him that saith: We have received, and we need no more!
28 And in fine, wo unto all those who tremble, and are angry because of the truth of God! For behold, he that is built upon the rock receiveth it with gladness; and he that is built upon a sandy foundation trembleth lest he shall fall.
29 Wo be unto him that shall say: We have received the word of God, and we need no more of the word of God, for we have enough!
30 For behold, thus saith the Lord God: I will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts, and lend an ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn wisdom; for unto him that receiveth I will give more; and from them that shall say, We have enough, from them shall be taken away even that which they have.
31 Cursed is he that putteth his trust in man, or maketh flesh his arm, or shall hearken unto the precepts of men, save their precepts shall be given by the power of the Holy Ghost.
32 Wo be unto the Gentiles, saith the Lord God of Hosts! For notwithstanding I shall lengthen out mine arm unto them from day to day, they will deny me; nevertheless, I will be merciful unto them, saith the Lord God, if they will repent and come unto me; for mine arm is lengthened out all the day long, saith the Lord God of Hosts.
