This is one of the doctrine dividing most churches in Nigeria,whether it is right for women to wear trouser? Most women forbid themselves from wearing trousers to church but they can wear it at home but according to that scripture where the instruction was given the place wear it will be worn was not mentioned that is if the place is really talking about women not wearing trousers Deuteronomy 22:5 So what do you think about that scripture. visit www.christainvibes..com for more on it.

women should wear what they want.
we mortals tend to make life much more complicated than it was meant to be.

No trousers for Women. Let's practice the ways of the Law of Moses.

D bible says a woman should not put on that which partaineth a man and like wise d man, all dat do so are abormination before God, what more explanation do u need. Dont allow d devil 2 decieve you

EatmyShorts: No trousers for Women. Let's practice the ways of the Law of Moses.

We are not under the Law Sir/ Ma. John 1:17, Heb 1:1. If we wanted to be obey the law, we would really be under the curse of the law. Gal 3:10.
And we dont get God's approval by the law. Gal 3:11, Rom 3:20.
I know most of the people in the church would have quoted Deut 22:5 as their back up. And that verse does not support it. Anybody with opposing view should please make his/her mind known. I shall be back to comment on this.

Like i said earlier. We are not under the law.
However, i am willing to still show that wearing trousers is not wrong. Those who support not wearing trousers use Deut 22:5 which states that,
"A woman must not wear men’s clothing, nor a man
wear women’s clothing, for
the LORD your God detests
anyone who does this".
The first question is what clothing is for men and which is for women? Because its the african mentality that says trouser is exclusively for men. Those in the western countries did not state such. The bible itself does not state that trouser is for men and skirts for women. You can never find it in the scripture.
As a matter of fact, those who say trouser is for men do so not because God states so but because they think so. It might interest you to know that at the time this law was given, trousers were not yet being used.
It might further interest you that even the men then used skirts. Oh yeah, they did. Check these two verses. 1 Sam 15:27, Psalm 133:2.
So thats it! The men wore skirts then because there was no trousers. And in thesame manner, wearing trouser for female is not wrong.
I know alot of us have been grown with this belief.
Infact, some of us were told that if ladies wore trousers, they will go to hell. Oh yeah? By the way, what is it exactly that takes people to hell? Is it wearing trousers or not accepting Jesus. You can not be saved and go to hell because of wearing trousers. Enough of all the so called visions. Any vision that is not in line with God's word is not of God. By the way, what of the female whites that have been wearing trousers since "God knows when"? That means they are all in hell? I laugh in french. Dont you also forget that you will wear trousers for your NYSC.
So, having proved this from the Law itself, i still maintain that we are not under the law. Just like the scripture says, "Now the Lord is that Spirit: and
where the Spirit of
the Lord is, there is
liberty". 2 Cor 3:17. We have freedom in Jesus. Wearing trousers is not a sin. The scriptures i gave in my earlier post proves so.

what the bible is referring to there is "HOMOSEXUALITY"

^
pardon?

U said when d law was given trousers were not being used. Dont u kno dat God is d ancient of days? He knows d end frm d begining, he knew it will happen dats why he gave d law, my dear, dont allow anyone decieve u. Dont joke wit ur eternity.hell is not a place 2 go.

^
lol.... you see, thats my problem with alot of us in Africa. And this thing is caused by all the visions people say they have being seeing. I gave biblical proofs and you gave none.
What you typed up there shows one thing. Fear! Fear of hell. And bible says, "There is no fear in love. But
perfect love drives out fear,
because fear has to do with
punishment. The one who
fears is not made perfect in
love ". 1 John 4:18.
Ok, let me turn the tables. Hope you still know you will wear that trouser when you want to serve. Abi na wrapper you wan tie for service? Lol
Few days ago on nairaland, we are learnt that high heels were originally made for men. Going by the law, all you women are not suppose to wear it. But i think 99.9% of ladies have worn it. That means almost all(if not all you ladies) will go to hell. Agreed?

“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 an abomination unto the Lord thy God” (Deut. 22:5).

Perhaps this is the strongest and seemingly scriptural proof forbidding women from men's wears. This claim however that this scripture forbids women from putting on trouser is weakened by the following arguments.

1. Trousers Are Not Necessarily Men's Wear.

Men did not put on trousers in the Bible days. Both men and women wore flowing gowns and skirts in the Bible days. Trouser wear is man's innovation. Just as men's garments were sewn differently from women's garments, so also are men's trousers sewn differently from women's trousers. A man for instance can't put on a trouser designed for a woman. So, men have their kind of trousers and women theirs too. Trying to say trousers are limited to men is as good as saying that wrappers are restricted to women. But we do know that men also tie wrappers in this part of the world but not the same way as the women tie theirs. The fact that wrappers are mostly common with the women and trousers mostly common with the men doesn't make these styles restrictive to either sex. Moreover, traditionally, trouser wears are not even men's wear in this part of the world. None of our fore fathers wore trousers until the white men came to colonize them.

2. Deuteronomy 22:5 Is Not For The New Testament Saints.

This verse which is one of the laws of Moses was addressed only to the Jews under the Old Covenant. Before Jesus came, you were either a Jew or a Gentile (without God). Under the Old Covenant, the Gentiles weren't included.

“That at that time ye (Gentiles) were without Christ being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenant of promise, having no hope and without God in the world” (Eph. 2:12).
So, Deut. 22:5 has nothing to do with the New Testament Saints.

“Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them (Jews) who were under the law…” (Rom. 3:19)

Exodus 34:27 further confirms this truth. “And the Lord said unto Moses, write down these words for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.” No mention was made of the Gentile nations here. Using Deut. 22:5 to judge the Christian women is like asking Nigerians to keep American laws and make us feel guilty for not keeping it. (Additional ref: Rom. 2:14, 3:2, 9:4).

3. God's Covenant Was Never Intended To Be Established By the Law of Moses

“For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise of none effect”. “And this I say that the covenant (Abrahamic covenant), that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law (law of Moses) which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise, but God gave it to Abraham by promise” (Rom. 4:13-14, Gal. 3:17-18).

The scripture above says that God's promise to Abraham was unconditional. Dos and don'ts (law) were not attached to it. Abraham was declared righteous not because he obeyed any codes of conduct but because he believed God (Rom.4:3, Gal. 3:6). For instance, if you were promised an amount of money by your uncle, and when you get to him to receive the promise, he now demands you must do this or that before he gives you the money, he has invariably nullified his promise. What you get then is no longer a favour but what you worked for. In the same way if God demanded that obeying the laws of Moses was a necessary prerequisite to be blessed, then He lied to Abraham. This is what Paul the Apostle stressed in the scripture just quoted above. How many of us will love to have an earthly father who spells out some dos and don'ts for us without which we cannot receive anything from him? Our God is a loving God and not a Soldier. We gain approval before Him not because we're trying to keep a particular law but because we believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead (Rom. 4:24). Besides, 1 Tim. 1:9 remarks that, “…..the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient………” It therefore means that we that have been declared righteous don't need the laws of Moses to live by.

4. Even The Jews That Were Given The Law Are No Longer Under Obligation To Keep It. They Have Been Delivered From The Law.
The Jews that were given the law are no longer under obligation to keep it because Christ has redeemed them from the law;

[b]“Christ HATH REDEEMED US FROM THE CURSE OF THE LAW being made a curse for us (Jews), for it is written, cursed is every man that hangeth on a tree. That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise OF THE SPIRIT THROUGH FAITH HAVING ABOLISHED in His flesh the enmity EVEN THE LAW OF COMMANDMENT contained in ordinances for to make in Himself of twain, one new man, so making peace. BLOTTING OUT THE HANDWRITING OF ORDINANCES (LAW) that was against us which was contrary to us nailing it to the cross. FOR CHRIST IS THE END OF THE LAW for righteousness to everyone that believeth. FOR THE LAW WAS GIVEN BY MOSES, BUT GRACE AND TRUTH CAME BY JESUS CHRIST. BUT NOW WE (JEWS) ARE DELIVERED FROM THE LAW that being dead wherein we were held, that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter (law). Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free and BE NOT ENTANGLED AGAIN WITH THE YOKE OF BONDAGE (LAW). For sin shall not have dominion over you, for ye (the New Creation) are NOT UNDER THE LAW but under grace” For there is verily A DISANNULLING (CANCELLATION) OF THE COMMANDMENT going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. And for this cause, he is the mediator of a New Testament that by means of death, for the REDEMPTION OF THE TRANSGRESSORS THAT WERE UNDER THE FIRST TESTAMENT, they which are called might receive the promise of an eternal inheritance. Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. HE TAKETH AWAY THE FIRST (LAW OF MOSES) that he may establish the second. For the priesthood being changed, there is made a necessity a change also of the law” (Gal. 3:13-14, Eph. 2:15, Rom.10:4, John 1:17, Rom. 7:6, Gal. 5:1, Rom. 6:14, Heb. 7:18, 9:15, 10:9, 7:12). [/b]

These references testifying to the end of the Law of Moses (including Deut. 22:5) are too numerous to be ignored.
In spite of these clouds of witnesses, some Christians will still want to insist that Deut. 22:5 must be obeyed by Christian Women. This was also the case in the times of the early Apostles. They insisted that the Gentiles and likewise the Jews must keep the law of circumcision that Moses commanded. Paul the Apostle was vehemently persecuted for teaching otherwise. Even today, so many religious leaders are doing the same persecuting brethren and churches teaching that the New Testament Saints do not live by the laws of Moses as the scripture emphatically teaches. If the Jews that were under the law have been delivered from it, why then are we (formerly called Gentiles) trying to bear the burden the Jews could not bear?
Paul says he's afraid of those who are still trying to keep the Law of Moses. “Ye observe days, and months and times and years. I am afraid of you lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain” (Gal. 4:10-11).

WHY THEN WAS THE LAW GIVEN?

“….It was added because of transgression, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made, and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator…Before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterward be revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ that we might be justified by faith” (Gal. 3:19-24).
The Law of Moses was only to last until Christ come to fulfill the promise God made to Abraham. “But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a school master” (Gal. 3:25). The Old Testament was imposed on the Jews until the time of reformation (Heb. 9:10).

REASONS WHY THE LAW WAS ABOLISHED

1. The Law Brought a Curse on the Jews

“For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse (spelt out in Deut. 28:15-68), for it is written cursed be every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of in the book of the law to do them” (Gal. 3:10).
Under the Law of Moses, the Jews got blessed by keeping the law (Deut. 28:1-14) and got cursed for breaking the law (Deut. 28:15-68). History reveals that they couldn't keep the laws and consequently came under the curse. Their inability to keep the laws was because of their carnal nature (Rom. 7:14). It takes a spiritual man to keep a spiritual law.

2. The Law Brought Wrath on the Jews

“Because the law worketh wrath, for where no law is, there is no transgression” (Rom. 4:15). A typical example of this is recorded in Num. 11:1, where the fire of the Lord was kindled against the Jews when they murmured and complained against Moses. Many of the Jews died. In another instance recorded in Num. 21:5-6, fiery serpents were sent to bite the people when they spoke against God and Moses. In contrast, they were not punished when they committed similar offence under Abrahamic covenant. (Ex. 16:2 & 17:3). There was no mercy under the Law of Moses the soul that sinneth, it shall die (Heb. 10:28). Stubbornness under the law also attracted death penalty (Deut. 21:18-21). Also if a lady was disvirgined before marriage and the husband found out, she was stoned to death (Deut. 22:13-21). A young man who gathered sticks on the Sabbath day was not exempted from death penalty (Num. 15:32-36). “He that despised Moses law died without mercy under two or three witnesses” (Heb. 10:28). “And the commandment which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death” (Rom. 7:14).

3. The Law Made Nothing Perfect.

“For the law made nothing perfect but the bringing in of a better hope did by which we draw nigh unto God” (Heb. 7:19).
So, Deut. 22:5 made nothing perfect for the Jews and it won't do any better for you.

4. The Law Made No One Perfect.

“For the law having a shadow of good things to come and not the very image of the things can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect (as pertaining to the conscience)” (Heb. 10:1).
See also Heb. 9:9. What Paul is saying here is that the Old Covenant sacrifices couldn't remove the guilt of sin. Only faith in the blood of Jesus will remove the guilt of sin.

“For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God purge your conscience from dead works (all practices in the Old Testament including Deut. 22:5) to serve the living God. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins” (Heb. 9:13-14, 10:4).

5. The Law Could Not Give Life.

“Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid, for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness would have been by the law. For what the law could not do (produce life), in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin condemned sin in the flesh. And the commandment which was ordained to life I found to be unto death. For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof” (Gal. 3:21, Rom. 8:3, 7:10, Heb. 7:18).

6. The Law Came To Amplify Sin

“What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay I had not known sin but by the law. For I had not known lust except the law had said THOU SHALL NOT COVET. But sin taking occasion by the commandment wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law, sin was dead” (Rom. 7:7-

7. The Law Could Not Give The Jews Ability To Live Above Sin.

“For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh. God sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin condemned sin in the flesh. For that which I do I allow not, for what I would, that do I not but what I hate, that do I. If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. For I know that in me (that is in my flesh) dwelleth no good thing for to will is present in me but how to perform that which is good I find not” (Rom. 8:3, 7:15-18).

8. Under the Law, the Jews Could Not Have Personal Fellowship with God or Approach Him.

“And the LORD said unto Moses. Go down; charge the people lest they break through unto the LORD to gaze and many of them perish. And let the priest also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them. And Moses said unto the LORD, the people cannot come up to Mount Sinai…..” But into the second (most holy place) went the high priest ALONE once every year…” (Ex.19:21-23, Heb. 9:7).

“And they said unto Moses, speak thou with us, and we will hear, but let not God speak with us lest we die. And the people stood AFAR OFF and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was” (Ex. 20: 19, 21).

9. If You Break One Law, You Have Broken All the Laws

“For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all” (James2:10).

There're over 600 laws the Jews had to obey. Deut. 22:5 is just one of them. For instance, verse 9 of the same chapter says the Jews shouldn't' plant two different kind of crops on the same farm land. Also, verse 11 says they shouldn't' put on garment of mixed fabrics. How many of those trying to obey Deut. 22:5 keep these other laws? If the New Testament Saints were to live by the Law of Moses, virtually everyone would have been guilty of breaking the law. None of us for instance keeps the law of Sabbath. Even most of those who worship on Sabbath days do not necessarily keep it. No form of work was to be done on it. Not even cooking or clean-ups.

10. The Presence of the Law Brought Condemnation to the Gentiles

The presence of the law implied condemnation for the Gentiles because they were excluded from the covenant. The law stood as a wall separating the Jews from the Gentiles. It also led to hostility between both races therefore creating enmity. (Eph. 2:11-16).

You're welcome.

Lets say the truth, wearing of trousers by a woman exposes her body shape and size (back size), covering the color of her skin while she is nak€d.
We should be conscious of d sin of LASCIVIOUSNESS, as mentioned in Gal.5:19.
Lets read. Prov. 16:25, 1Peter.3:3, 1 Tim.2:9.
Do u knw dat trousers was never made for women. The whites dat gave us dis mode of dressing hav deviated from their tradition. Traditionally the white women dn't wear trousers. Read or watch medieval books and films about europe or america and see.
They changed due to d lack of d fear of God.

I know where you're coming from. Your signature says it all.

Why is it wrong for a woman to wear pants but its not wrong for a woman to wear t shirts, shirts, face cap or for an Igbo man to tie wrapper.

Churches should preach against indecent dressing. We should encourage people to dress decently and appropriately and not condemning trousers.

I used to think like you concerning trousers. Till now I cant tell a lady not to wear trousers. But I took my time to aska respected jewish rabbi and he told that trousers should not be worn by ladies and it is the reason orthodox jewish women dont wear it. Secondly, I also thought trouser was a new invention as the research I carried out traced its origin to sometime in persia when horse riding became a sport. But not long ago was just reading my bible after a very long time and something struck me in the book of Daniel 3.21 "Then these men were bound in their coats, their trousers, their turbans, and their other garments and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace". So you can see that trouser has been there from the time of old.

My only problem is why the churches that forbid trousers do not uphold other laws as contained in the book of deuteronomy.

I never said the rabbi is infallible. I have my reason for going to the rabbi. The rabbi can interprete the bible more than you can because they read the bible in its original hebrew text that has not been diluted or changed as a result of traslation to other laguages like the english text that you read.

There is no list of what is gents and what is for the ladies in the bible, the stress was on distinction between both sexes. Ask God what pertains to a man and he will reply that man has always decided what to wear and what not to wear as long as it doesn't reveal you unclothedness. He is not a fashion designer he only wants distinction between both sexes besides he has serious issue with you, he cares about your holiness.

I am reading the new king James version. If you are reading a different version then it comes down to what I said earlier about possible alterations, dilution, omissions as result of translation making the original hebrew speakers relevant in getting the real meaning.

Hosen is trouser. It will also be correct to say that women should not wear skirt because according to the bible men in bible days wore skirts.

There is a distinction between men's clothings and female clothings be it trousers, shirts etal.

Can anybody list women clothing and I hope skirts and gowns would not be inclusive because they were worn by men in the bible also.

If we want to adhere strictly to the letters of deut. 22 v 5 then women should not wear skirts, gowns, shirts, polo, face cap, wrist watches, t- shirts etc . You cannot say that women should not wear trousers meant for women but keep silent about women wearing t -shirts or even polo shirts.

Deut 22 v 5 should be read in context with all the other laws (Mosaic). However, when wearing trousers women should cover their butt areas.

I believe there is the spirit behind that and in Jesus we get the understanding better. Why would a man in the OT want to wear a womans's garment and vice versa?
i think it bothers on deception.....possibly they want to get into a gathering that is of the opposite sex without detection. e.g.

1. Behind the computers, many masquerading as men when they are women or women masquerading as men.....like what the yahoo yahoo boys do and even others. It is deception.
2. Look at transvestites that dress so much like the opposite sex you are initially deceived by their appearance. Still deception.
3. Sex change operations to become an opposite sex being carried out today. Usually deception except to a few who may know.

Others may have more to add.

But @soadish is right. Abeg, let us women dress in modesty and sensibly with appropriate wears and cover up what attracts attention from the opposite sex. This is love as well....Not to allow them see and stumble or at least play our part.


However, if our places of worship are against it, let us try and abide and submit in that regard especially if it is too mundane to start causing friction.

I Corinthians 10:23
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not

Romans 14:19
Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification

Check my previous post on this thread, skirts were worn by men in those days even when the law came.
