"Male and female created He them (Gen 1:27)." "The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man...(Deut 22:5)." God wanted men and women to be distictly different. Should a woman wear pants? Should a man wear a dress or a kilt?

Frankly I dont fancy God's chances in a fight against a Scot so they can wear whatever they like!

That is a very old book, the world has changed since then. To say that would be to say that all homosexuals should be killed (Leviticus 20:13) as well as all those who work on the sabbath (Exodus 31:15). These are some examples of why the bible should not be followed precisely by modern society. So, I doubt Christians should have a problem.

Fallible men translated this long long ago and it's difficult to know exactly the original intent of the old languages. There is much linguistic dispute over even the simplest word. Your interpretation of "wear" and "pertaineth" may be different from the interpretation of others, and it's not our right to tell you what to believe and vice versa. "Love one another" is probably more important to God than how you interpret his clothing directives.

TOP question Young lady, yet I see how few answer it. I always find women more attractive when they deliberately dress differently from men. I think they that were given trim waists to be 'presented' as such, and the overall bodily attraction springs from there. As you quote here: God wants them looking different from men. Each should attract the other: this will best happen when one appears most differently from the other. This is also why feminism fails ... because it is trying to make men and women the same - NOT equal; it is counterfeit, and confederate with the devil. Hence the complete failure on earth right now.

Pants haven't been considered exclusive male attire since the 50's and kilts are male clothing. I have 5 of them and wear them more than anything else even to church. It depends on the culture.

They all wore some type of cloth robe, men and women. Pants, kilts and dresses were not invented. Better question, should a fat man wear a speedo?

" I asked this question because it seems the more controversial you are the better the response. " F of C At first I thought I would spend time on this website discussing questions of religion, primarily Christianity, that I might learn something to help me in my witness. Now I am beginning to see what a trap this is. I can see Satan laughing as he watches so many of God's saints wasting their time instead of witnessing to a lost and dying world.

I guess you'd better let God have a look in your clothes closet mornings? ;-)

But women's pants ARE different. If you don't believe me, try a pair on. And try to use a urinal with the zipper pushed off to one side!

What did Jesus wear?

I wear pants, and Im a woman. And I think its sexy when men wear kilts. They are very much...MAN. But...I think its pretty much stating, if you cant tell the difference... Why do it? Like there used to be women who would shave their heads, and run around bear breasted...as if they were a man. - Its kinda stating...they shouldnt do that stuff.
-
Who wore pants at the time those verses were written?
-
I dunno, I just think that maybe he didn't want couples to dress the same.
-
Perhaps we are all taking the bible a bit too literally? OF COURSE WOMEN SHOULD WEAR PANTS. By wearing pants we're not hurting anyone and definately not offending anyone. It's probably preferred to a short skirt anyway. I find those way more offensive. Same goes for guys wearing kilts. Who are they harming? I'm an atheist, but if I did believe in the bible, I would try to see the metaphor in the stories instead of taking them so literally that it doesn't make sense anymore.

The reference might be to jock straps and brassieres.

When that was written, both men and women wore robes. There were men's robes and women's robes, just as there are men's pants and women's pants. I think that it was just a way of saying that a woman should not put herself in a man's place as head of the family. Just my opinion, though.

There are lots of commands in the Old Testament that were to help prepare people for the coming of the Messiah. For Christians, the majority of those commands were made moot by the New Testament. It really doesn't matter what people wear as long as they are respectful. People need to wear what is appropriate to their culture and their climate. It matters more what's in their hearts.

We should dress so that people know that we are what we are. A woman can where pants as long as they are womans pants. A man can were a kilt if he is Scottish so he is actually being manly as he weres it. Man in dress no.

And where precisely am I supposed to get a garment made out of fig leaves?
-
Yes, of course. And remember to stone adulterers while you are at it (also Deut 22).
