Hmm.... I think you might not let Old Paths or Actaeon preach in your church if they showed up in these "pants."

Thanks the Mrs. for posting.

Bro. Epley...this is one of the reasons why using Deut. 22:5 they way you do makes it even more confusing. You can't sit there and tell me that the ROBES worn by both sexes were different enough to NOT be considered ROBES. There were subtle differences in material, color, decorations...but they were still ROBES.

Just as Pants today. The women's pants are made of different materials, colors, and decorations. They are feminine. But they are still PANTS.

Unisex???

Which generation is wearing unisex clothing?

If God truly hates the unisex look; how on earth can men shave their faces? And why are pants unisex while robes were not? Why are shirts, jackets and tennis shoes ok but pants taboo?

Inconsistent. Inconsistent. Inconsistent.

They were different. Do you think that in such a middle eastern Matriarchal
society they would really advocate unisex Robes?? come on.

what you described still PERTAINS to a man's garment for our day and time. If not, would it be okay for men to wear dresses so long as the fabric and colors are different ?????

It may be true for some...As many people as are out there, they all have different opinions, and different journeys they've travelled. We didn't all take the same road.

Some women who left standards probably didn't and still don't have any reason for studying and finding out for themselves what God really dictates. They really have no clue. Some have probably just left the church thinking they are backslid, so what's the point in continuing on with wearing of dresses.

But there are others...many represented here at AFF who have put many, many hours into study and research for themselves.

As for me...I would have NEVER, EVER done something so lightely as to stop doing something that I was told was pleasing to God WITHOUT laboring for truth, intense study, and much, much more prayer. A heart of love for God demands it.

Thad the principle of 1 Corinthians is to be careful how your actions are perceived of others that they can be saved.

That being said, the great majority of Americans would have no negative thoughts or concerns about a woman in pants.

In contrast, the great majority of Americans would think that a man wearing a dress is a sexual deviant or mentally ill.

Oh no!! I wore my husband's t-shirt yesterday. And once, when I was behind on laundry, I wore a pair of his socks! Come to think of it, I slipped his shoes on to go out into the garage three days ago! Is that okay or have I sinned?

They were not so different...they were still ROBES. Robes are robes. Hello??? ROBES??? What was NOT unisex about wearing ROBES???


As for your other question Thad, you are playing by cultural rules...

In THIS day and age, it is a societal NORM for women to wear pants.

It is NOT a societal NORM for men to wear dresses...unless you go to a particular country where in THEIR society, that is the societal NORM.
