Kilts are RIDICULOUS. Grass skirts are also cultural but no one was wearing them in Judea. You miss the whole point, because you are trying to cram world cultures into a book which wanted the world to conform to it. Not the other way around. My lands, the book was written to people in the Bronze Age, to the first century A.D. Their culture and modesty floors anything you have to offer. Kilts? Grow up. Scotland and being Scottish, good grief. Try being an Apostolic Christian.

That's where you are incorrect. It isn't trying to make you into the MGM idea of the 12 Commandments. But it is working off the template constructed and built by God to an ancient people. These people who had men wearing masculine clothes PANTS, and women wearing katastole DRESSES. You are losing miserably this discussion because if your ancestors wore a bone through their nose, instead of painting themselves blue, and wearing kilts. You be arguing that the Bible allows you to wear a chicken bone through your septum.

They weren't admonished to be part of the Judean tribe of Judah. They were admonished to be Judeans inwardly and cast off their OLD MAN. You being Scottish and wearing a plaid rag around your waist is comical. Why? because while everyone sees it as just plaid designs it meant something to the clan. Which you haven't the foggiest idea. The kilt was more a flag, then anything. With every post you show your cluelessness on everything. Stick to politics, I guess you might fair better. Since politics are in the eye of the beholder.

This argument could work if the Bible was some malleable material created to fit whatever culture. Whatever ideology. You do understand that there are Homosexual churches? Yet, there is no such thing as an active homosexual Christian. You lose the argument when you offer us a Churchanity instead of Biblical Christianity. You attempt to offer a pliable set of scriptures which you can wrest to your own destruction. While blindness may be your cup of tea, it only achieves the destruction of all who follow you through the broadway.
Hey do you have an accent like Scotty from Star Trek? Does that go with the kilt? NO, but bringing the kilt and eskimo seal skin pants has zero to do with a Biblical discussion on
Deuteronomy 22:5. Because there were no kilt wearing dingbats, and seal skin wearing goofballs.

Only worn by men. Just like the trousers of the day. Women only wore dresses. NO pant wearing women. Hey cultural for a guy to wear his pants around his hamstrings, but should we argue that women of the same culture do the same? Clean up Dodge, don't grab a gun and join the outlaws.

It was men's wear because it was men's wear since Daniel and Leviticus. Our position isn't defined by culture, especially when the culture is going POST CHRISTIAN. You maniac, in your attempt to bring unity through disunity, you are standing Christian ethics on its head. You change agent you.

That's because YOU have the wrong lens, you want to win the world with the world. You can't you lose the Church with doing that. You proved that your agenda is about justifying the church using POPULAR CULTURE AS ITS PRIMARY LENS. Everything you posted from Dan to Beersheba goes down the drain. Because you have admitted that popular culture is the dictator, not the book, chapter, and verse.

You are now swerving all over the place. You have tethered your Christendom to the burning meteor called popular culture. Which changes constantly by a SIN driven populace.

Don't assure anyone of anything.
