Is Your Church Teaching FALSE Modesty Doctrine? 🚨 The Truth About "Drawing Eyes to the Countenance" Have you ever been told that Christian women must always wear bright, smiling faces to be "the light of the world"? Or that V-necks, jewelry below the neckline, and even Jesus-themed shirts are immodest because they don't "draw attention to the face"? In this eye-opening sermon, Pastor Fortunato exposes one of the most manipulative false teachings infiltrating churches today - the unbiblical doctrine of "drawing eyes to the countenance." 📖 What You'll Discover: This powerful message dismantles the twisted interpretation of Matthew 5:14-16 that guilt-trips women into forced cheerfulness and arbitrary clothing rules. Pastor Fortunato reveals how this teaching has ZERO biblical support and shows how false teachers cherry-pick verses to control what women wear and even what emotions they're allowed to display. Through careful examination of Scripture, including Ecclesiastes 7, Numbers 6, and Job 31, you'll learn why: • Sorrow can be better than laughter (and why that's biblical!) • God never commanded men to draw their eyes to women's faces • Acknowledging beauty isn't sinful • External rules without heart transformation lead to legalism • Your countenance doesn't fulfill being "the light of the world" This isn't about promoting immodesty - it's about separating human tradition from God's actual Word.
