In noting how girls at some BattleCry events are encouraged to wear long dresses, Amanpour asks the group's leader how it is different from the Taliban.

One is about modesty, and the other is about oppression.

One is encouraged; the other is inflicted.

I hope she gets that right.

“I hope she gets that right.”

She got it right the first time but was intentionally provocative - it’s a matter of Christian baiting.

[John Leland 1789]

You are correct. And she says, “ENCOURAGED to wear long dresses.” Not dragging girls to their scourging or execution if they don’t wear long dresses. Modesty is a New Testament instruction to both males and females. The flesh is a problem. It is at enmity with the spirit in regenerated believers. Flesh is a temptation and a distraction. Christian girls are, therefore, “encouraged” not to be a temptation, distraction or stumbling block to either believers or non-believers. Deeply biblical Christian homes train their daughters in modest apparel from early childhood.

But any pastor who would attempt to harm any girl for not wearing a long dress/skirt would not be tolerated, should it be known.
