Knowing where Thad lives, he'd be seen as a cross-dresser if he did.

Perhaps he could explain Deut 22:5 to them so he can justify his buying women's pants......LOL!

the need is sometimes greater then the law. my SIL is going thru chemo for breast cancer- hair fell out. these are medical exceptions that we don't use as excuese for normal situations.

again, the bible says that the effeminate shall not inherit the kingdom. that word effeminate means "Transvestism" or cross dressing" .

What my children do when they are of age is entirely up to them. I may not agree, but they have to answer for themselves.

As for 'dressing goth', what does that mean, dressing in all black?

I have on all black right now, does that mean I'm 'dressing goth'?

No, I don't have Bible that says Johnnie can't 'dress goth', but I do have Biblical principles that would tell him to abstain from the appearance of evil and such like.

No and neither would i buy a dress in a man's Dept.

even though the cut of women's pants are different (because of the bodily shapes and curves) It still is the basic apparrel and still pertains to a man's look. if not, then the same rule must apply to a skirt

big difference in dressing in black and what the Goth represents thru his attire.

Although I don't agree completely, it's not enough to make an issue out of your definition, because I agree that tranvestitism and cross dressing is wrong. I don't partake of either one.

So, what does that have to do with women wearing women's pants? Cause unless you are willing to admit that all Apostolic men (and even sinner men) should feel free to shop for them and wear them, you can't say women are cross-dressing. In fact, I'm gonna make an assumption here and say that when the gay men in your neck of the woods wear women's clothing that includes pants, you believe they are cross-dressing. I don't believe you excuse their wearing pants because pants are exclusively for men.

Thad, for thousands of years, men wore skirts. Even in the Bible.

Do they sell dresses in the men's dept where you live?

We have a local goth group here. They wear all black, have black hair, and look very white.

But their apparel is black. Nothing wrong with wearing all black apparel.
