Bible Question:
When we are looking at the scripture. Deut.22:5 5- (The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man,) (neither shall a man put on a woman's garment:) for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God. When it is saying thes things that the (men and the woman) are not supposed to be doing because doing those things are an abomination to the Lord. We as Christians always are using this for a sign of homosexual behaviour. But a thing Iam just thinking about. Why do WE in our Christian society accept woman wearing pants? Even to be wearing when they will be going to Church? So my question is for the people of the forum. The men of the forum. Do your wives wear dresses all the time? The women of the forum. Do you wear dresses all the time? Iam courious because of the example we say we are always to show the world. Are we setting a standard for the world to emulate? Or a double standard for the world to ridicule? Blessings to all KcabmI4 |
Bible Answer: Dear Kcab: I think the answer lies in the fact that this was a different culture than our culture. The dress code has changed where they make pantsuits that are very feminine nowadays. Deuteronomy was written by Moses and was part of the covenant God made with Israel. I am not familiar with the dress code of that day, i.e., what kind of clothes they made but it seems to me the overall message has to do with women acting/dressing like men and men acting/dressing like women. Today people do it to be funny or because of immorality so it seems it would apply to motive. We know that men are attracted to women and women to men so if someone disguished themselves as the opposite sex and attracted same gender attention that would be immorality. Its deceit to dress as the opposite sex in a way that hides your gender. Today the pantsuits and jeans accentuate curves so men have no problem identifying a woman as a woman but if a man wears a dress they wouldn't know since that is more deceitful. If a denomination demands women not wear pantsuits as they did in the past they are looked upon as legalistic. They still demand men not wear dresses and so should they. Sincerely, Val |
