I understand that you would. However, what is distinctly immodest about her? I'm just picking your brain a little.

But... I'm going to be blunt here. I pray you understand me, because if I candy coat it, I don't think you'll really get the full impact of what I'm saying.

Frankly, a woman in a dress or skirt is a far greater turn on than a woman in pants because it's "easy access". Having been in the Army, a woman with a dress or skirt is far more likely to flat-back than one wearing jeans. If she smokes, your chances are nearly 80%.

That's just been my experience.

You are ridiculous

Words are written that would probably never be spoken as one Christian to another if sitting across a dining table enjoying that fellowship. Some, on here, feel they have to address every posting and do it with overbearing vim and vigor. [ You know who you are! ]
I'm likely old enough to be a dad to many of you and probably a grandpa to some and I get treated very well by my children, grandchildren, and yes, great-grandchildren. Why would I come on here anymore and be disrespected by someone who doesn't really know me? No matter if we disagree let's show a little more civility, manners and Christ- likeness!

You said it better than I did. Thank you...

It is interesting to see folks say something along the lines of: follow the Spirit... As though the "Spirit" would contradict the word. The "Spirit" will never contradict the Word because they are both expressions of the same God. Thus God will never contradict Himself. To ignore the Word is to fall into error. The true worshipers will worship in Spirit and in truth.

It is true the Deu. is not speaking specifically about pants. If the Bible spoke specifically about everything there would be multitudes of "commandments" instead of the 613 "Mitzvah's". God gave the ministry to discern between right and wrong (Lev. 10:10; Deu. 17:9; Eph. 4:10-12).

God has provided timeless principles to live by, not an encyclopedia list of do's and don'ts. Had it of been, the Bible would have been obsolete decades ago. Instead, the timeless principles help to point those who "seek first His kingdom and righteousness" in the direction of God's holiness not man made feelings. Those feelings are often characterized by the argument that you should "follow the Spirit". This "phrase" provides legitimacy to carnality and seeks to remove the soul from the anchor of God's word.

You're right, the Spirit will never contradict God's Word. However, it often contradicts our human interpretations of God's Word. For example, in the early 1900's the Holy Spirit challenged the historic doctrines of the triune baptismal formula and the trinity. This didn't contradict God's Word, but it definitely challenged man's historic understanding of it.

Remember, while the Bible is infallible, our interpretations of it are not. That is why Jesus said,

John 16:13
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth:

I'd go as far as to say that not only does Deuteronomy 22:5 not mention pants, but not one of the 613 "mitzvahs" (as you put them) mention pants either. If it was indeed that important, you know, there is language for specifying pants. But the language isn't there. Deuteronomy 22:5 is about the cross dressing perversion... not a specific style and cut of clothing.

The mind is never so resourceful as when it is justifying itself...

For those who believe "pants" on women are okay because there is not a specific commandment against it - do you think smoking is okay as well? After all, there is no specific prohibition against it?...

As for me and my house - we will seek the "No-Smoking" section of eternity. :-)

I was thinking of another term, but "ridiculous" works.

Are lady's Jordache jeans men's attire? Yes or no?

They are men's attire.
