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: kcamb14: Respectfully, I disagree with you. My wife is a subteacher in a public school. She wears a dress when most teachers do not. My wife wears a dress to church on Sundays. The choice is entirely hers. In Missouri in the winter it does get really cold. There is no reason for a woman to wear or a dress in the cold, or for that matter in the summer if she so chooses. In Romans Paul ran into the topic of eating meat or forbidding the eating of meat. Weaker christians were insisting on not allowing meat to be eaten. It boiled down to not offending the weaker christian. The issue of women waring pants is somewhat along that line, in my opinion. Frankly, in the Souther Baptist Church where we are members, we are glad to see people come, in pants or a dress. Women in pants in a church at least know that they are welcome to our church. Perhaps if they don't know Jesus they will accept Him. Maybe even those who just come to worship and hear the Word preached, is just where they belong, pants or dress, the person is far more important than what they wear. The Old Testament laws you are quoting, you are taking out of context. Women wearing pants in no way indicates homosexuality! Justme |
