We used to be told that it was the spirit of a harlot to wear denim and I have had relatives and friends that I invited to church who wore pants harangued from the pulpit. ........One relative had traveled thousands of miles (from Alaska) and all she heard from the preacher to the "saints" who testified was how horrible pants were. It was very obvious that she was singled out and the stares she got were horrible. Needless to say, I went home and cried and cried. She told my mother, "I will never go back to that church again"....Sometimes I wonder how much blood will be on people's hands who did not use wisdom. It's not all about Acts 2:38 and a dress code. It's about love and wisdom and doing the will of Jesus Christ, too.
Some people just don't know better. It's just that "simple". ('scuse the pun )
These kind of people will always be around.

It's really quite straight forward really when you read the scripture. It just can't and isn't talking about what it's been made out to be and a very quick study nails that down really.
We've had some good discussions in the past (I remember one on GNC) and another on FCF where the scripture was scrutinized carefully and then held up to examination in light of what the rest of the Word has to say.
I still prefer dresses and skirts for women and I think that because of the fact that pants have been mens apparel for many years now and men don't wear pants in our culture dresses and skirts do provide clear distinction between male and female. There's no doubt that dresses and skirts are distinctly "feminine". Normal men in our culture wouldn't be caught wearing them.
That's why I don't understand why it's taught the way it is.

It seems that many refuse to teach the truth concerning this particular scripture. I find that odd.
I find it odd that there are conservatives on this board, even a couple posting on this thread, that aren't acknowledging what's said in the first post or commenting on it. I'm interested in their thoughts on this too.

'Twas a long time ago, I believe on FCF, and it wasn't in a thread of it's own, I don't believe.
No wonder I missed it. I didn't read or post regularly on FCF until near the end.
Good memory, BTW!
