It may not be effecting you and your household directly but let all this permissivemness keep going and let's see what this next generation turns out like. Don't try and tell me that letting the kids pierce their bodies and dress in Goth or cross dress has nothing to do with the spirit world.

I agree with this post, Thad, but I haven't seen anyone here speaking about these things.

Who said they believe anything goes? Do you have a quote?

I know I certainly never said such a thing.

Seriously, I have had way too many people say they would get back and then never do.

you and several here that have chimed in on this discusion do not believe that there are any scriptural backing for teaching gender distinction. most have shot down any and all scriptures brought up. If you don't believe there is any bible backing and believe that Duet is just old testament law that does not apply then you and all the rest advocate the "anything goes" minset of today's culture. what can you say? if it's not bible then you have nothing to go on to come against the spirit of the age

i know of some women who won't wear them because they look like mens pants. silly to me

I could see them preaching against it more because of it being a trend...I personally think that if I were to see a man in these, I'd think he was a lil, umm, should i say, less manly?? yep, that's what i would say.

Okay, I'm no longer a conservative...yep, you heard it from me. I went swimming in the hotel the other day and I went and bought myself a spandex skirt that went right below my knees and some of those leggings and they covered my thighs and knees. ANd I went swimming.. Of course no one else was in the pool. But it was a public pool and I don't mix bathe and I don't wear a swimsuit in public. But by no means was I going to wear a skirt and have it float up and be exposed.... I felt more modest with those crazy leggins on. and i must say i was quite cute! lolol! Yes, my conservative friends down south and back east would say I had gone liberal!

That is not true. I do believe in gender distinction and I think most others here do too. The difference is that I believe that skirts on women are not a required gender distinction biblically but that gender distinction is shown in the way people dress in general. In other words, men and woman can wear pants and still be gender distinctive just like in OT times both men and women wore robes and were also gender distinctive.

I heard a report that it's the Rage for UPC girls to wear long johns or jogging Pants under their skirts and some folks are in a tizzy over it.

There was even a report of a CA. Con church doing this and brows were raised.


Do you feel this is wrong as it pertains to the doctrine of Duet 22 ????

would you allow it in your church??

your opinions please

My Opinion is that I thank God that the kooks in Ca dont set the trend for the rest of us. What to they do Thad...call a high councel meeting like the sandhedren and talk about new rules that "must" be enforced.....GAG
