Therefore whether it is a sin or not s cultural i.e your tradition.

joeycrack:

Like Jesus said the bible is not against your culure. For exmple a man wearing a skirt in scotland is not a sin because it is the culture of the scots meanwhile a man in the north wearing a skirt will probably be disobeyin the law.

@Cgift

Then Will you commit murder too?

Backslider:

Please read with the spirit of God not with you OWN WISDOM.

IF YOU WEAR A SUITE ON A TRACK SUITE Trouser ARE YOU OK?

Backslider:


Or CAN YOU WEAR AGBADA AND TUCK IN A TROUSER? THOSE COMEDIANS YOU LAUGH AT WHY DO YOU LAUGH AT THEM?

Backslider:

It depends what type of Anointing you are talking about. Some [/b]of the people you are talking of have Demonic anointing.

jujukemist:

I find this topic quite interesting, not because it is a serious Jesus issue, but because it exposes how we xtians poorly know our WAY-the WAY-JESUS. Jesus said that it is the things that comes out of a man that defies him not what goes in.

jujukemist:

Apostle Paul said let us leave the elementary teaching and squabbles, moving into mature spiritual matters, like knowing the will of god through the mastry of the HolyS.
Was deut talking to the Jews or the Xtians. Do we posses the holy spirit sufficiently to know the apt interpretation of all bible commentary on these issues.
Are all the Scots men and Nigerdelta men going to hell.
Lord Jesus open our eyes to know you in the Order of the Spirit. Not as a stature hanging on people's necks

ABSOLUTELY NOT,

Neither should they plait or braid their hair, according to Paul.

Yes is biblical for Christian Women to wear trousers the ancient history of trouser wearing traces back to women and not men

Deut. 22:5 - "The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God."

There's no mention of 'skirts' or 'trousers' in that verse. The substance of that injunction is that men and women should not confuse their gender appearances; and the motive is to discourage the lifestyles that may stem from such practices. Confusion of appearances lead to confusion of gender roles. Such lifestyles may include homosexual tendencies among God's people, which is another abomination (Lev.20:13); or gender roles confused altogether, in the family and society at large.

It is interesting that the dress-sense and fashion of the Old Testament people included the idea that men and women wore garments that had skirts. Notice the masculine pronouns used in Psa. 133:2 - "It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments" and of Ezekiel: "Thou shalt also take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts" (Ezek. 5:3). So men wore garments that had skirts back then, but not in the sense of 'skirts' (a woman's garment which hangs down from the waist) as we understand them today. The skirts of Aaron's garment were simply in reference to the outer border of the priestly garments.

Several ancient and contemporary civilizations and cultures had and have clearly defined gender dress modes. Even today, the Scots are popular for their kilts (knee-length pleated skirt of tartan wool which is worn by men as part of the traditional dress of the Scottish Highlands). Other traditional dresses worn by both gender in some other cultures include (a) the sarong - skirt made from a piece of fabric wrapped around the body and fastened at the waist and worn by men and women in Malaysia and other Pacific islands; (b) the toga - loose draped garment worn by citizens of Ancient Rome; (c) robe - any long loose garment (including the gown); and other types like (d) the tunic - usually long upper garment worn by women, but for the men depicts loose-fitting garment often without sleeves and often belted: worn in ancient Greece and Rome.

Some believers assume that Deut. 22:5 is condemning women wearing trousers and men wearing skirts. However, that is not what Scripture indicates. As we have seen, the substance and motive for that verse is to discourage any confusion of gender identity and roles among people professing to belong God. There are professional vocations that require a dress code that include the idea of trousers worn by both men and women, such as civil and petroleum engineering (the overalls they wear in field of operation), and some military service posts. I remember during our NYSC orientation, some ladies wanted to make an issue out of the khaki trousers; they wear given the option of either following the call of orientation service or quit camp.

Of course, what you wear tells who you are. In the NT, women are particularly admonished to "be modest and sensible about their clothes and to dress properly" as befitting women professing to be godly. (I Tim. 2:9, 10). Men and women who profess godliness in their lives don't want to misrepresent their calling, and that's why we're admonished in the OT verse above to not mix up our dress sense to risk confusing our gender identity and roles, because "from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female" (Mark 10:6).
