Is It Biblical For A Christian Lady To Wear Trouser's? by Ellegacy(m): 2:06pm On Jan 08, 2017
So am going to spoil the suspense by just giving a straight answer.

YES!

But what does the Bible really teache?

The obedience of a child of God is not measured by what clothing we wear but by our walk in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16).

Before cross-checking some Scriptures, we got to realised as Christian when we encounter “Controversial Verses," we need to use Scripture in context for the principles that will help us walk as believers, which means considering the dispensation and the whole counsel of God and not taking passages out of context or literally.

To back up my answers, many will argue with this passage Deuteronomy 22:5 Which says - 5. "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".

To understands this passage better we have to read through the lines. What do we call a Woman cloth? Some ladies trouser's can't be worn by a man, thus classifying the attire for ladies only. Furthermore, The context of this passage is the second giving of the law to the nation of Israel as they were poised to enter the Promised Land. Deuteronomy 22:5[/I] is an admonition not to live as a transvestite. This has to do with more than just clothing; it also speaks of a life that emulates in every way those of the opposite sex. Transvestitism was a practice of the Canaanites, and Israel was to consider it an abomination. We take a principle from this and apply it to our lives as believers, but we must use it in the context in which it is given and do so in relation to the dispensation of grace.

The Apostle Paul wrote extensively on the difference between the law and grace in Romans. We are not justified by our adherence to the law, but we are justified by faith in Christ [i](Romans 3:21-28)

In addition, Romans 7:6 - 6. But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code".Therefore, a believer does not live by legalism, nor by license, but rather by grace.

What has the issue of one dressing with religion? Theirs no law in the bible that says a WOMAN should or should not wear Trouser's.
So how should one Dress??

1 Timothy 2:9-10 - 9."I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God" . D
ressing modest and with purity is how we should dress..So as long as use dress modestly, the choice of cloth you wear isn't a problem or a sin.

In conclusion, Christianity shouldn't be about being gullible....

Trousers by the way it was designed is not meant for female. It is a male attire. Use your brain to judge. If a man on trouser want to unirate, he simply zip up and do that without stress. But a lady with trousers will have to work deep into the bush to do that because she had worn a cloth not patterning to her gender. Use your brain to judge which is which

Some hypocrite married men obey this than thou shall not commit adultery, they will fight their wife on trouser issue and go about chasing young ladies.
Before someone will start mixing it up, I just want to ask, will you tell the urhobo man not to use his traditional attire again? Or will you tell the minority in Scotland not to put on their skirt?
We do have trousers for ladies and that of a man. If anyone argues that to urinate makes it easier for a man, please will you tell the Hausa man not to do his usual too?
As we have tops for men, so do we gave for women.

Is trouser Africa attire? How do you judge Urhobo and Ijaw men who wear wrapper like their women? What about the British men who wear skirt? Trouser for men is shaped for men trouser for women is shaped for women. Same goes for wrapper etc. When judging dont forgot that some part of the world the weather are extremely cold. Women have to wear leggings even before wearing skirt. Some part of Europe. No woman will dare dress on Gan/shirt without using legging during winter. Who are you to tell them they are not true Christians because you said so. Read the history of how trouser came. And stop using your culture to condemned other people's culture.
