Should Women Wear Trousers? by oneda(m): 8:02pm On Dec 08, 2014
Is it lawful for female to wear trousers or things that pertained to male?
Deuteronomy 22:5 says, “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.”
The word pertain is defined as “to belong as a part, member, accessory, or product; to be appropriate to something; to have reference to” (Merriam Webster’s 11th Collegiate Dictionary).
The question is, “Do trousers or pants have reference to men, or to women?" They have reference to men. Questions like, “Who wears the pants in the family?” has reference to the man and his place of leadership in the home (and to women who try and usurp that authority; hence, they are said to be wearing the pants in the family).
Just go to a public restroom, and see which door has the pants on it, and you will quickly see that even the world knows that pants “pertain” to men. Some women quickly say that they only wear “pants for women.” The problem is that no one can see the TAG on the inside, but only the APPEARANCE on the outside. Can you imagine public restrooms with pants on both doors? Which door would you use? You cannot see the tags on the pants (because they are on the inside). From the outward appearance, there is no way to tell what door is the men’s and what door is the women’s. The result would be CONFUSION. Some would go in the wrong doors, and there would be screams and/or great embarrassment as the result.It is the hypocritical Pharisees that kept the letter of the Law, but not the true spirit of the Law. The true spirit of the Law here is that there is to be a CLEAR DIFFERENCE in the LOOK of men and women’s CLOTHES. If you are looking close enough to see tags or certain cuts, you are looking too close at the bodies of other people.God wants a difference in the LOOK of clothing — not just the LABELS. It is the LOOK that causes LUST — not the LABEL. If men and women look similar in the way that they are dressed, then people look over their bodies for the differences in the way that God made men and women to tell which they are — male or female. Those are areas that people should not be staring at, and areas that cause lust.

God has also ordained that there be distinct differences in the length of hair. I Corinthians 11:14,15 says, “Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.” If men dressed like men, and had short hair like men should have, no one would ever have to look them over to tell what they are — male or female. If women dressed like women should, and had long hair like women should have,then no one would ever have to look them over to tell what they are — male or female. The whole unisex fashion system (same style clothes and hair) is but another subtle work of the devil, and many Christians have fallen for it. Many Christian women have their hair cut short, and dress just like men. Many Christian men have long hair like women, and wear all kinds of feminine jewelry. They are adding to the confusion of this day, and the immoral perversion that is abounding.
Remember, you can get mad when someone tells you the truth about dress and hair styles, but one day you will answer to God, and He is the One who had written, “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.”

You may say it's in the Old testament which Christ cancelled. If Christ cancelled the old testament why is it still party of the Bible? Why do Christian accept the blessings in the OT and reject Its laws?
DISCLAIMER : This is for Holy women for without holiness no man shall see the Lord (Heb 12:14)
Any reply you wish to give should be backed by scripture or it's vain human wisdom.

they're already wearing it, so what are we to discuss?
Re: Should Women Wear Trousers? by michaelwestern(m): 8:14pm On Dec 08, 2014
all those are in the old testament besides what that verse was talking about is that, women should not wear a particular cloth( not style) that belongs to a man.

we are no more under the law.

I like Deuteronomy. One of my favorite books in the bible, along with Leviticus.


"The Often Overlooked Rules in Deuteronomy

The book Deuteronomy also lays some laws down, but nobody ever mentions them, but why not take a look at those laws also?

Anyone who dreams or prophesizes anything that is against God, or anyone who tries to turn you from God, is to be put to death. (Deuteronomy 13:5)

If anyone, even your own family suggests worshipping another God, kill them. (Deuteronomy 13:6-10)

If you find out a city worships a different god, destroy the city and kill all of it's inhabitants... even the animals. (Deuteronomy 13:12-15)

Kill anyone with a different religion. (Deuteronomy 17:2-7)."


Even Allah was more "guided" in his approach. Allah first offers the kaffir the chance to repent. If the kaffir refuses, he is then urged to pay an "unbeliever tax" or JIZYA, in return for his freedom to worship his own God.

This Jehovah person is more like Genghis Khan. Take no prisoners, not even goats and cows.

Depends on the thing. Look how much rage you're displaying only because I posted a biblical passage.

you never quote the new Testament do you?
Besides, the 'kill' didnt continue forever. But islam proposes the same anti human laws to these day. The islam you cite, how has it been well with d world as a whole after islam? But on the other hand every nation where christianity predominates has prospered than it would otherwise and treats its citizens more humanely.

Be Objective,if you must critique.

I am assuming tht the bible 'kill' decrees were wicked and unjust...
Re: Should Women Wear Trousers? by oneda(m): 7:27am On Dec 09, 2014
God expected only the people who kept the whole law to perpetuate it's judgments. Jesus demonstrated this in the case of the woman caught in adultery. All judgments belongs to Jesus for anyone who will be righteous will be through Him.
Weah96, God saw ahead of time and cancelled the "kill" policy. And if you think the sentence to those things you listed had changed, you are wrong. If you die and any unrighteousness is found in your hands which were not buried in the Blood of Jesus, then pity is your name.

If every man begins to rape women, would it make rape accepted as a social norm?
Even if it may happen because man can change, God cannot change for He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.
And mind you, the God am talking about here do not mind taking only Lot out of Sodom and only Noah out of a whole generation before destroying the rest. He Is not standing with the majority.

rage? really?

why dont you post the passages where it is relevant and stop digressing from the OP.

you sure do care a lot about christian topics which has no relationship with atheism for someone who claims to be an atheist.

I quote the bible, both old and new. If your God never changes, then the old testament describes his current feelings.

Yes He had not changed. His feelings in the Old testament is the same in the new. The Israelites could not keep their part of the covenant so He threw it open for all human race through a more humane way - Jesus Christ. It's left for you to leave your foolish unbelief and make use of this living way today.
