Re: More on Skirts
Idolatry is a sin of course, but I don't see where De 22:5 associates idolatry with a woman not wearing male garments and visa versa. We can make up some context out of thin air, but we cannot trust in a context that is not presented in the scripture itself. I like to read about history and culture in ancient days, but if the scripture does not give the context we cannot insert things from history and say that is what the verse is really meaning. When I read De 22:5, it is very simple, God don't want me to wear a womans clothes and he don't want women wearing mens clothes. The question is can culture just take a garment of clothing that has always been male attire and put a female label on it and say it is now ok for women.
Prior to 1962 sodomy was a felony in the US punishable by a lengthy term of imprisonment (accodrding to wikipedia). That being said, this nation has lost their minds concerning male and female. I personally feel like the confusion in the role of father and mother in homes since the turn of the 20th century has much to do with homosexuality and transgenderism in our country today.
Whether you realize it or not, small compromises lead to much harm, espeacially over generations. It is the little foxes that spoil the vines.
