Deuteronomy 22:5

Ok, I am curious about this standard, which I perhaps have seemed to take for granted, and that is that the sisters should always wear skirts and dresses. It seems reasonable to me that the sisters should dress this way for modesty and gender distinction, however, there seem to be many here in disagreement. Would anyone have a study that could explain your position on this? I am also curious in that I think I remember when either Peter or Paul were speaking on modest dress for the sisters, the term for the dressing of the sisters was some sort of a garment that would hang down, thereby for some, requiring that women not wear pants...

What say ye?...

Re: Deuteronomy 22:5

Ok think about it did they do this back when this was wrote...NO... and the whole thing about women not putting on a mans garment is not refering to clothes..it cannot be cause they all wore the samething back then when the scriptures were wrote.....

Re: Deuteronomy 22:5

See even after Deuteronomy was wrote everyone still wore the same thing so the scripture means something more than dressing...

oh of course..... it was all the same thing.... Where do you come up with this logic? The scripture is clear and I have argued the points before and it is what it is. How to apply it is another issue we can argue but distinction of clothing is clear in the text no matter how you want to cut it.

Re: Deuteronomy 22:5

One must consider and find why Deut.22:5 was originally written,and then figure out how it fits in with the culture and society one is apart of.
