Bible Question: I would like to know if the bible says anything concerning the women and wearing of pants. If so, please answer or if not why? |
Bible Answer: Hi boyyank, I don't understand why churches have man made traditions like this. I was in an apostalic church years ago where you were asked to not wear pants to church, That was fine and understandable, but as time went on it became where you shouldn't wear pants ever. They even went so far as to say a friend of mine had backslidden and she was not longer saved, because a church member saw her in her yard wearing pant's. Do you see where it goes. They get so focused on man made traditons that they loose sight of why were together and the reason why were saved. This is just my personal opinion, but do you really think that God and Jesus really care if women wear pant's on our own time. It doesn't make us any less feminine and becoming as godly women. Didn't back in Jesus's day the men wore long robes like dresses, and in battle men could grab from behind them and bring the back of their skirt between their legs to cover themselves? Wasn't this called girding your loins? I believe so. Yes women should be an example to other women what's becoming of a godly woman. Now since I got that out of the way, their are scriptures regarding how women are to be in all of their lives is in 1Tim.2:8-10. Verse 8,I will therefore that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.Verse 9, In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array. Verse 10, But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. I don't see there where women can't wear pants. It's always a good idea to read the whole chapter so you can get a better understanding of what the chapter as a whole is talking about. As you will notice in the next verse it says that women are to keep silence in the church, and so on. I know it says that, but I know that My Father will use whomever he chooses to get the truth told. I doesn't matter if it's male or female, rock or animal. See with humans, take of the flesh and what do you have??? In the Old Testament there is scriptures in Numbers 22:28-31, Verse 28, And the Lord opened the mouth of the ass, and said unto Balaam, what have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times? Verse 29, And Balaam said unto the ass, "Because thou has mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee." Verse 30, And the ass said unto Balaam, "Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee?" And he said,"Nay." Verse 31,Then the Lord opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the Angel of the Lord standing in the way, and His sword drawn in His hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face. And so on. So you see what I'm trying to tell you. We need to focus on his word and search them out. You see, the bible can be taught on three different levels. I strongly suggest all believers get a Strong's Exhaustive Concordance when studying the scriptures. In translate the Old Testament back to it's original language, Hebrew and Chaldee. and the New testament back to the Greek. You'll be amazed how the word will open up to you. I hope this was helpful.
