Oh...I realize I didn't finish the rest of the story.

"...being three hours behind the men and making sure she stuck around to teach the guys a lesson, she was immediately devoured by a jaguar that was waiting for her as she stepped off the bridge having only the map to defend herself."

...can anyone come up with a better "The rest of the story?"

Yet, we have a group that will not fellowship the Body ... or say that one is heaven-bound because of this issue.

1. PP, would you wear female pants ... why or why not ... ?

2. When you go shopping can you make a distinction as to men's pants and female pants ... why or why not?

DA,
Skateboarders wear tighter pants because it's easier to execute their moves. When you order them on-line they say they are for men, but you can't tell.

Really, PP has a point about our gender distinctions being skewed these days.

What about shaving and circumcision. I hate shaving and wish I didn't have to do it. I don't think or at least I hope and pray women don't feel the same way.

Of course we do! But we shave anyway!

Tracy/Thomas deciding to have a baby is just messed up - that's what I was addressing more than anything.

I know that bringing a baby into the world after all the publicity and the confusing circumstances of the father given birth would be so unfair for the child.

I have said things in my life that I wished I hadn't said too. It's just the nature of being human...we make mistakes!

Oh c'mon PO ... how many skateboarder do you see in day to day activities ... it's specialized clothing for a purpose ...

How about these ... Apostolic women in the health profession ... how do do they pull of the " I just gotta wear a skirt"

And yet I can still make a distinction ... but perhaps PP is not sure which one's are the females?

I was just responding to Abigail's comment about changing what God gave us...

By the way, have been back to your neck of the woods a couple of times this year but never have time to do anything but work...

Yes, gender bending is wrong. Both Covenants (Deuteronomy 22:5; 1 Corinthians 11:1-15) of Scripture teach the principle of gender distinctions as necessary in being a believer. It is part of what God expects of us. Both Covenants also teach that gender distinction should relate to both our natural appearances as well as our clothed appearance.

Settle down, Frijole!

Dan-ee- el,
Again, as with all other modes of dress and the issue of hair - do your own thang! I do not care one way or the other.

First of all, minor outward changes and personal hygiene cannot be legitimately compared to drastically changing your gender or God-given identity.

Secondly, I would assume circumcision is fine, since it is supported in the Bible. The minor "surgery" involved obviously doesn't alter a man's gender.

Finally, shaving...probably cultural, I think in France women don't shave? au naturelle? As for me and my house...the women will shave, and the men will NOT. (their legs, anyway)

Trying to compare trivial changes to drastic changes of identity or gender is as bad as trying to make Deuteronomy so simplistic as to be about women wearing pants (specifically).
