That part of the bible that talks about women not wearing mens apparel also says things like
"an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth", and "if a woman is in her period, then she is unclean", or things like that.
My point is that if you are going to lift a verse out of the bible, then take everything else that comes with it.
As far as i'm concerned this is just another example of mind-control and fundamentalism to keep our women cowered.

If you think what you see is turning you on, then look away, period. Some men can look at muslim women in their
hijabs and still see what they want to see.

I'm not advocating indecency, but people should let this women and trouser issue die abeg!!
Leave the women alone, and face your own life!

PS I'm not going to make a religious debate, so im going to be silent from now on.

[color=#000099][/color] We should know that most of the other things which you mentioned were actually later treated in the new testament cos that was part of why we had the new testament so that some of the other things which were mistreated in the old testament were corrected. Some of why we see some of those things according to Jesus to the Jews during the issue of divorce was because of their strong mind, if they were acting on the basis of if your neighbor should slap you on the right cheeks turn the left also to him, I am sure most of the people at that time will come and steal your goat and expect you to also give him your cow after taking that otherwise you not giving him the cow will be against the law, most of these other issues has been treated in the new testament like the issue of tooth for tooth, Jesus said if your neighbor should slap you on the right cheek, you should also turn the left, likewise on issue of unclean, when God told Peter to stand up and eat some unclean things and he said they were unclean, God said he should not call anything created by God unclean so almost every other things that were not the perfect will of God in the old testament were retreated, so why was it that in the new testament nothing was said about Deuteronomy 22:5 was because it was correct, Just like many of the other right things were not changed but consolidated like thou shall not steal, they are still under where it was written that an eye for an eye, one was changed the other was not, because one was wrong, the other was right, can you tell me where it is written in the religious books that pornography is a sin, but isn't it actually a sin, "need answers", Genesis 35 1 Then God said to Jacob, "Go up to Bethel and settle there, and build an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you were fleeing from your brother Esau." 2 So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, "Get rid of the foreign gods you have with you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes. 3 Then come, let us go up to Bethel, where I will build an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress and who has been with me wherever I have gone." 4 So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods they had and the rings in their ears, and Jacob buried them under the oak at Shechem. 5 Then they set out, and the terror of God fell upon the towns all around them so that no one pursued them.

Why did they also remove the rings from their ears when they were asked to purify themselves if it was not making them unholy, consider also 8 I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting; 9 in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, 10 but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works. That is why it is written, Narrow is the way that leadeth to heaven and only few is following there, it will be easier for a horse to pass through the eye of a neighbor than for a woman to get to the kingdom of God, so many side attractions, and don't mistake me for a deeper life, but I so much like the church's principles.

But you and I do know that women don't wear what they wear to help themselves against harsh weather. However they are after who salivates after their figures and sleep with them in mind. That is big sin but men want to commit sins without physically engaging in them. Again wear houses and fashion designers do what they see as money-spinning. Morality has a lot to reject if we don't wanna remain hypocritical. Well, we are all hypocrites! What many do is what less people do not do in order to remian good in God's face and make heaven. Nobody is going to heaven afterall!!

Even if women wear nothing at all it is not a sin!

That is our natural state after all!

The bible didnt mention trousers, But the bible said, A woman should not wear any thing that belongs to the man neither should the man wear what belongs to the Woman, Deuteronomy 22:5

Trousers from origin, was designed for the use of men, Thisdays, Women don let Sokoto expensive for market,

Cheers!

Where did you get that info from?

Ivvie:

The wicked shall be turned to hell and the nations that forget God. The fact every one does something does not mean it is right. The Lord will not hold back putting a whole nation to hell. Exodus makes it clear that you should not follow the multitude to do evil. Trousers on women is what a Christian calls wickedness and abomination.

Exactly! It's funny how people somehow assume that just because God is love he wouldn't paradoxically throw them all into hell for wickedness and abominations like women deigning to wear trousers.

These couldn't be done 50 years ago. The more reason why divorce is flourishing without bounds or limits.
Plus, negative spirits encircle any human that cross dresses. It's also a turn-off in the physical realm too. The reason men don't complain is because most have learnt to embrace pervesion (perverts). The Psalmist said "Lord, incline not my heart to practice iniquity." It's unlady-like to be in trousers.

To be fair, I think that's why the devil and his cohorts fiddled with the climate: to encourage people to cross-dress. Some have complained about the cold; I say if Jesus could have borne his cross like a man, then it's a small price for a woman to bear the cold like a man - a amn that wears skirts, only that would be an abomination, but you get the point.

Mini Skirts - If you know the history to this, any decent girl wouldn't be caught in this circle. A child of the devil started this in the late of '55 which ushered in the swinging sixties.

Next thing you know humans are suffering from stds and AIDs, yet some want to blame God for them not knowing that it was all started by the mini skirt.

The worst so far is women wearing boxer-briefs (boxer shorts). This is so un-called for. Sin starts from something small and blows out of proportion when appreciated.

I agree. I knew a woman who said there was nothing wrong with wearing men's boxers shorts; now, she's a lawyer and an atheist.

STRANGER 29[b]

I recently bought a pair of jeans for my girlfriend on her birthday and she rejected it because of some religious belief she holds about a lady putting on trousers, but funnily enough she wears some very tight fitting mini skirts which I think can drive a man crazy.

Please I need some advice on what to do as I love her but we haven’t spoken for the last one week and it’s driving me crazy[/b]


I really think your whole story is bullsh|t . you just wanted to post something controversial on nairaland. I'm assuming you want me to believe that you courted the girl for a while before she became your girlfriend, and all that time you never noticed that she did not wear jeans? then you claim you rushed out on her birthday to buy her jeans? please don't take us for fools.

A story was once told of a lady that switched from wearing trousers to mini skirts. Her reason was that by the time she wriggles out of the usually tight trousers, his man has lost his 'u-know-what'.

Ethically, I think the trousers is more conservative than the mini skirt. With the trousers, you only have a mental picture which could be blurred or clear depending on the pervertive index of your brain.

With the mini, you can actually see the light at the end of the tunnel, if you look long and look hard.

KAG, sorry oh, but wetin jesus wear dat time?na trouser abi na jalabiya??the bible should not be interpreted literalily all the time.sometimes you need to dig deep to find out what the bible is trying to tell us.if the gal doesnt want to wear trouser because she thinks its a sin either against God or her boyfriend, then let her wear all the mini skirts in the world.its her choice and she alone bears responsibility for her choices. no need fighting over something dat petty.

Manly, manly clothes.

Why not?

The petty something is enough to send you to an eternity of torture. It makes sense.

Trousers Or Mini Skirts: Which Is A Sin?

NONE

wtf


neither!!!

I want to  believe that skirt was made for women but do we say the scottish men that wear skirts are sinners, or the Ghanian men dat tie wrapper are sinners as well cause i believe wrapper and skirts are for women.  In the old testament, they all wear garments but there is a different between men's garment and women's garment (likewise we have men's trouser and women's trouser).  That chapter talks abt some other fobidden things which we still do but why do we only talk about that verse.  
@ poster,
if ur girlfriend doesnt like trouser, why did u bought one for her? Dat simply means you dont respect her choice

Clothings being a sin depends on the perspective from which you view it.

From the Christian angle, any form of dressing is a sin if it causes another person to sin.
Also, sexes are also expected not to exchange clothes, like men dressing like women and vice versa (Deuteronomy 22 vs 5). This is good because what is meant for women or men is determined by the culture of the environment where you are.

So, decide for yourself; does the mini make you sin (even "lookery" is one)? Then it is sin. If not, she is good to go.

Your sins are forgiven,just believe,loose your mind from the boundage of guilt.What ever you do that is not harming another person is your own choice and you shouldn't feel guilty about it.Life have no limitations,rules and morals are all man made,depending on how it suits you and society in general,it is subject to change,just like every other thing in life.The reason why africa is not moving forward is that people are not changing with time.We should make our own rules to our 21st century needs.CHANGE.

Yeah right!

Change and forget the Holy Bible ? You are on your own.

#Candid Submission#

If you understand the bible you will set yourself free. it is a book,read it to understand,like it says in it,some have eyes but can't see,ears,can't hear,hands,can't use it,brain,can't think.Nothing is absolute,the only thing absolute is change .White man use all those gimmicks to blind fold you,still in the 21st century,you still can't see,even when the truth is quite glaring,anyway,some people are main to die foolish.

When it comes to sex and how you should dress, you should stay as far away from the Bible as possible.

Tight trousers or mini skirts I don't care. Just come and show me how you look in them  

@ redsun

I don't think you post is necessary.

If you had properly read my earlier post, you will realise that I said the final decision is of the wearer.
This simply put means that there are guidelines in the Holy Bible which generally lead you to godly living, but what matters the most is the way you go about it (like you could decide not to forsake the gathering of the saints and still not be guaranteed of heaven).

I would advice that you read and effectively understand people's posts before you comment on them, otherwise, just state your opinion about the topic and move on. There is also room for you to ask for clarification in an instance where you do not understand a person's post.

@topic
na wa ohhh

both

Both trousers and mini skirts are fine to wear. Not both at the same time though

For some dim, brainless and totally thick people on this forum the fantasy book called the Bible seems to extend itself to the chastising of women wearing such clothing.

Well, who cares a monkies uncle what these idiots think. Mini skirts are fine and to see an attractive babe with a rounded bum and long legs in a tight pair of jeans is also heaven on earth.

hi people,
the bible says in deuteronomy 22:5 that "a man shall not wear wat pertains to a woman, neither shall a woman put on a man's garment, for all that do so are abomination to the lord". if u read further, there are several laws there, like we should not sow seeds of divers in the same land, we should not sow clothes of wool and linen combined together. but funny enough today, so many religious people obey the 1st part of not wearing a man's garment and forget about the rest.
the bible did not make mention of trouser(take note). it said man's garment and woman's garment. today we think that trousers are meant for men, but we should forget that we also have women's trousers. that is a woman's garment. even in the time this law was given. wat did the israelites wear? they wore clothes like skirts(for men). if u have watched jesus of nazareth, wat garment did he wear? it looked like a long gown( today thats for women). so was that a sin?
so my friends, trouser is not the issue, but the issue is in obeying the totality of God's word. let me tell u here that this law was meant for the nation of isreal in the 1st place and not for the gentiles. till today, if they truelly want to obey God, they must follow those laws. dont so many people today sow garments of divers materials? dont so many people plant different kinds of seeds in one plot of land? so why dont they obey this laws too?
please my friends think about it. if u want more information on this thread u can call me on 08034348342. i accept night calls. thanks very much.

WOMEN

Wear what you feel you want to wear and not what you are told to wear by religious biggots.

The Bible has no place instructing women what to wear. It is only a book of myths, fables and fairy stories written by man.

So tomorrow get out your mini skirts and wear them with pride

too much time on your hands!!!!!! FACT!!!!
if una get work, una for no find time to dey argue all this kind rubbish!!!!
you can NOT force somoen to change their belief system no matter how much you try!!!

the same people that use deutronomy will "edit" the bible to suit themselves!!!!
the fact is that there are certain parts of the bible that were not written TO us!!!!!!! there are 3 groups of people all throughtout the bible; Jews, Gentiles (non-jews) and the church!! This is what i mena by because our foundation is wrong, EVERYTHING ELSE we build on top WILL be wrong!!!!!

if you study the word properly, you will see that even though ALL scripture is for reproof, correction is not the same as all scripture is written TO a group of people. the Old Testament is meant to be a book we can LEARN from!!!! not to follow in customs and rituals!!!!!!

if thats the case, when you women are on your monthly cycle, go and live outside the town till you finish!!!! when you men die, go to your graves thinking how your brother (God help your wife if you have 10 brothers!! LOL) will take "over" your role and will continue throughout!!! oh another one, go and worhsip in a proper temple!

my friend, go sit down somewhere!

women, wear what you are comfortable with and still be a lady!!!! if you are comortable with it and look good in it (believe me it does help!!!) then go for it. and if you are not sure, "whatsoever things are pure, of good report, loving, kind moedest, think on these things!!!!!

Very soon you will be saying jewellery and make-up will send you to hell!!!!! LOL

oh please! that is why Jesus called the scribes broods of vipers!!! cos they looked the part in public but were filthy inside!!!

Peace!

i work according 2 my faith and not what people say or do.

If it again ur faith on puting on trousers , go 4 mini skirts and stop following crowd.

Nobody is going to heaven afterall!!

truth hidden in humour; like it!

now, bring on the firring squad

Millions of men, women and children die each year on this planet and the invisible man (God, Allah, Buddah etc) does nothing to stop it or intervene?

Now we are talking about this crap 'should a women should wear trousers?' just in case we piss him off or offend him!

He does not exist

Get you tight jeans on girls
