What scriptures would you use to teach against gender blending?

Re: Gender Blending: Is it Wrong?

It might help if you define "gender blending".

Men and women looking exactly the same. Or at least trying to.

Deuteronomy 22:5 "The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God."

pertaineth -

"something prepared, that is, any apparatus (as an implement, utensil, dress, vessel or weapon): - armour ([-bearer]), artillery, bag, carriage, + furnish, furniture, instrument, jewel, that is made of, X one from another, that which pertaineth, pot, + psaltery, sack, stuff, thing, tool, vessel, ware, weapon, + whatsoever."


I Corinthians 6:9 "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,"

Just an interesting sidenote - one meaning of "effeminate" is catamite...which according to Wikipedia (my new favorite resource!) is "...the younger partner in a pedaristic relationship between two males, a popular arrangement in many areas of the ancient world."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catamite

(That was a tangent)

For my kids, I also go with we are "fearfully and wonderfully made", in that God made us the gender He wanted us to be.

This is unisex clothing.

Is it wrong for us to wear hoodies?

Re: Gender Blending: Is it Wrong?

Miss B - those would be the scriptures I would use too.

And, no Deut. doesn't mean I shouldn't wear pants made for a woman. That scripture is dealing with woman and man not trying to be the opposite of what they are - or for your purposes - gender blenders.

Not wrong, but I wouldn't wear them. I like pretty shoes!
