Subject: Woman in pants |
Bible Note: Dear Beja, Well said. As with much of the Word, the import is not mysterious. Even in our mixed-up society, we understand when a man is wearing clothing intended for a woman, or a woman is wearing clothing intended for a man. It is pretty clear that when this arises out of a "cross-dressing" intent, we have deviant behavior forbidden by Scripture. My wife wears pants frequently, but they are pants designed for women. Thank you for helping kcabm14 -- whichever kcabm14 that's interacting with us today -- derive a more sound exegesis of the passage. In Him, Doc |
