> Now if mama is on their side ... y’gutt’a problem
Nope. Mama is on my side. In fact, Mama dresses very modestly. It’s just human nature for women to dress slutty and for men to think like pigs.
But we are supposed to be new creatures in Christ. Our hearts should be turning away from the weak and beggarly elements, right? Or do we just allow ourselves to succumb to our baser nature and rationalize that, “Oh well, God understands.”
Don't whine. It's undignified.

Because I said so.
**But we are supposed to be new creatures in Christ.**
Exactly!!
When one is truly born of the water and of the Spirit, the Holy Ghost will lead into all truth. You can look in the mirror to confirm if need be; asking yourself: “is this appropriate apparrel for ..’walking epistles, read of men’.
Go to a shopping mall, and watch the behavior of people as they observe others, particularly, males ‘checking out’ females.
When my wife was born again, it was only a few weeks, and the tight slacks/jeans were gone. I was a little disappointed, since I enjoyed seeing her lovely figure on display (though completely clothed). But, she knew how I looked at her wasn’t a factor. It was how other men looked at her; and she knew the Lord doesn’t want us to encourage others to sin (lust of the eyes).
She gained almost 50# having each of our two sons, and after 34 yrs of marriage STILL has a lovely figure! Genetics may be part of it, but she has always refused to take the ‘pill’ (we’re not RC), and has therefore dodged the side effects of that, one of which is weight gain.
