Thad, when did they change it to make it acceptable for men to wear pants????
And for your 411, women first wore pants in China in the fourth century. Men didn't start wearing them in Europe until about 400 years ago. And when they first started wearing them, they were considered immodest at that!
Haven't we come a long way since then???
And I've never said anything different about cross-dressing. It's wrong now, it's always been wrong, and it will always be wrong.
**News flash ***
we are not living in achient bible times.
we are not in china in the 4th century.
Do you wear your house robe to the grocery store ?
I certainly am not defenseless, do you think we didn't have boundaries in our house? Brother, prayer is a powerful defense and my wife and I have and still do invoke it liberally, even though all of our children are now over 20 years of age. I don't believe your standards of dress give you near as much protection as you may think. My trust is in the Lord, not in my ability to impose standards. Those that walk in the Spirit abide instinctively within what God requires. Clothes never have prevented lust, adultery, fornication, if it is in the heart in will manifest itself. Get the heart right with God, the outward adornment will be just fine. We focused on right relationship with God for our children, and just modeled modesty in lifestyle, even though it might not quite meet your standards. Of course, we have not accomplished this perfectly, but God is full of grace and has been with us.
Bump for Thad
