So I finally found out where I excel in fashion; cosplay and lingerie.
So, wanting to open a boutique, do you think as a Christian it's ok to open a boutique that sells lingerie?

Hmm ... that's a tough one because of the modesty issue. I think it would be up to the Holy Spirit in you.

Go for it. There is no such passage in the bible thats says "Thou shalt not open and make items to help couples with intimacy." No where at all. There is a Doctor John's in town here and the lady who is there all the time is Christian and she sells sex toys and lingerie. Its not going to ear you a trip to hell or your diety's wrath.

If married couples wanna express themselves through lingerie, there's nothing wrong with that. If it's something that lures people into sinning, then that'd be a different issue. It's not like your selling drugs or something.

That's really a tough issue. Ultimately, it would lead others to sin because...well you'd be opening a lingerie shop. One look in the window and guys are like, "Oooo that would look good on my girlfriend". It's not something that would be honoring to God, because it would be promoting sex in the world.
But pray about it still. Definitely pray.

KyosKitten That's really a tough issue. Ultimately, it would lead others to sin because...well you'd be opening a lingerie shop.

But pray about it still. Definitely pray. Um, yeah it would help honor your God. Added sex appeal = more want to have sex = sex means procreation = be fruitful and multiply= its just fine becausse sex is not bad as without it, we would no longer exist! Yay!

Hmmm I think you and OneWithDunamis make the best points. I should definitely pray about it, but it's not like selling lingerie is the only aspect of the career world that's iffy. For example, a lady at my church sells Avon. Avon, though it's a great place to get really good prices on stuff (I sell it myself), it still kind of hints towards vanity[=sin]. Also, there are these commercials from [I think] KY that sells "His and Hers" gels that enhances sexual pleasure, but notice how they market it; every commercial they had was with not only a relation between a MAN AND WOMAN, but 4 out of 5 of them were obviously married.
So basically I'm saying all of you are right. It is iffy to do so, but if I advertise it correctly I'm sure it'll work out

lol Ehehehehe on a side note, I gotta tell you guys something funny;
So lately, I've been vastly improving in my skills in hand-sewing or couture. But this year I needed the sewing machine to make a purse, or so I thought. And so, of all the times I've used that stupid thing, NOW it breaks. One thing I learned from this spiritual journey is that God sometimes has a tendency to tells us something and it may be more obvious than we like xd
