I don't give a sh!t about what that story book full of fallacies and contradictions have to say about what I choose to wear as long as it's decent.

btw this topic has been over analysed here on nairaland stop recycling bullshit.

hmmm.....!

davtosh:
.What is a womans dress
What is a mans dress


A womans dress in India could be a mans dress in Afghanistan A womans dress in Yorubaland could be a mans dress in Ijaw land.
What would you say about the Irish men that are Christians that one of their traditional wears is Skirt. Men wear skirt in Ireland. Its their traditional dress it doesnt look odd to them.

In sime part of Nigeria men tie rapper and in Yorubaland its a sign of mental illness for men to tie rapper goin out.

So by all ive said how do you apply that scripture to those ppl

hmmmmm......!

dhardline:
The next time someone tells you that in the old days the Isrealites wore skirts or gowns show them this

Leviticus 6:10 King James Bible
And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen breeches shall he put upon his flesh, and take up the ashes which the fire hath consumed with the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar.

breech·es
ˈbriCHiz,ˈbrēCHiz/
noun
short trousers fastened just below the knee, now chiefly worn for riding a horse or as part of ceremonial dress.
informal
trousers.

Only an insincere person will say it's woman trouser and so it's different from men's trouser wherby the so called women's trouser is so tight that one can see all the curves from the back to the front. Knowing fully well that men being easily moved by what they see are lead into lustsful desires just by what they see and that exactly what the woman wants to achieve.

If there were to be anything like woman trousers then it should be designed in such a way that no curves will show as in serious baggy.

SO brother it's just bondage. Man is held under bondage by a lot of things in this life that why it's so hard for him to let go cause he feels the fabric of his life depends on it where as it actually does not cause we can live a most happy life by letting go of all those things that confuse and steal our joy that's why Christ made an example using the most basic need 'food', for man shall not live by bread alone but by every word of God . Take away pride from the heart of any man or woman and they'll easily do the right thing but who can do that except Christ.

Nice

I need answers


Cc: lalasticlala, Mynd44

hello! Nairalanders, this is a big question that has been a debate amongst Christians.- why do women wear trouser is is biblical??
there are scriptures that are against women wearing men's attire. some which includes:


Deuteronomy 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. (Kjv)

some women/pastors even say God is not after what we wear. But the bible says:

Romans 12:1
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of
God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

so I leave it to you all to help me with answers.... I really need one.

other opinions are welcomed too!

if I get you correctly, you are asking If plantain is good for your dogs:
As far as food goes , doggies are generally up for whatever they see their favorite humans eating . That isn't always a good thing however, as some human - friendly foods can be extremely dangerous to members of the canine world. If you are concerned about the safety of your dog eating plantains , do not be. Neither plantains or bananas are dangerous or toxic to dogs. I personally don't see it as a dangerous fruit/vegetable. but judging from its importance to humans which I will list below I think amongst the 10 Importance I Will list out at least 2 should be applicable to our companions.... but recall before you feed them on what Humans eat remember that their ability to digest differs....!

Here are the Importance to Humans


1,Plantains are very reliable sources of starch and energy.


2, Plantains contain a high amount of dietary fibre which helps
ensure healthy bowels and reduces constipation.

3, Plantains have more vitamin C than bananas. Consumption
of foods rich in vitamin-C helps the body develop resistance
against infectious agents and scavenge harmful oxygen-free
radicals.

4, Plantains have more vitamin A than bananas. In addition to
being a powerful antioxidant, vitamin A plays a vital role in the
visual cycle, maintaining healthy mucus membranes, and
enhancing skin complexion.


5, As in bananas, they too are rich sources of B-complex
vitamins, particularly high in vitamin-B6 (pyridoxine).
Pyridoxine is an important B-complex vitamin that has a
beneficial role in the treatment of neuritis, anemia, and to
decrease homocystine (one of the causative factors for
coronary artery disease (CHD) and stroke episodes) levels in
the body.

6,Plantains also contain folates, niacin, riboflavin and thiamin.
Folates (folic acid) are essential for healthy pregnancy.
7, Plantains also provide adequate levels of minerals such as
iron, magnesium, and phosphorous. Magnesium is essential
for bone strengthening and has a cardiac-protective role as
well.

8, Plantains have more potassium than bananas. Potassium
is an important component of cell and body fluids that helps
control heart rate and blood pressure, countering negative
effects of sodium.


9, Plantains are famed to be diuretic and can help prevent
kidney and bladder problems.

10, Plantains ease the discomfort associated with the
menstrual period.

Taste is a very old sense in
evolutionary terms. It
evolved from direct
interactions of the first living
things with the giant bowl of
chemical soup in which they
were immersed. The
substances that were
suspended or dissolved in
water were important to the
survival of these primitive
living things. Some
substances provided food,
some gave warning, and
some could cause damage
or even kill. As animals
evolved, the taste system became more specialized and
sophisticated. Sensations of pleasure and disgust provided by
taste serve a survival function. A reasonable rule of thumb, at
least for natural substances, is that bad tastes are a signal that
the animal has encountered something that is harmful,
indigestible, or poisonous, while good tastes signal useful,
digestible substances.

Because it is important for survival, it is not surprising to find
that taste is one of the earliest senses to begin functioning in
dogs. Young puppies seem to have only their sense of touch,
taste and smell working at birth but the taste sense still requires
a few weeks to completely mature and sharpen.


As in the case of humans, the dog's sense of taste depends
upon special receptors called "taste buds". These are found in
small bumps on the top surface of the tongue called "papillae."
There are some taste buds in other places as well, such as the
soft part of the roof of the mouth (the "palate" and the back part
of the mouth were the throat begins (the "epiglottis" and the
"pharynx". An animal's taste sensitivity depends upon the
number and type of taste buds that it has, much the same way
that sensitivity for smell depends upon the number of olfactory
receptors . Humans win the sensitivity contest for taste, with
around 9000 taste buds as compared with only 1700 for the dog , but
dogs have considerably more taste buds than cats, which
average only about 470.


Specific taste buds appear to be tuned to specific chemical
groups and produce recognizable tastes. Traditionally, when
talking about human tastes, we have identified four basic taste
sensations. These correspond to the tastes that we call sweet,
salty, sour and bitter. Early research did show that the taste
receptors of dogs responded to the same kind of chemicals that
trigger human taste sensations. There was one clear difference,
however, and that has to do with the taste of salt. Humans, and
many other mammals, have a strong taste response to salt. We
seek it out, and like it on our food. Pretzels, potato chips, and
popcorn, for example, are snack foods that are usually liberally
dosed with salt. Salt is needed to balance our diet and there is
not much of it to be found in vegetables and grains. Dogs,
however, are primarily carnivores and in the wild, most of their
food is meat. Because of the high sodium content in meat, the
wild ancestors of dogs already had a sufficient amount of salt in
their diet and did not develop our highly tuned salt receptors and
the strong craving for salt.

Dogs, are not exclusively carnivorous, but are usually classified
as omnivores, meaning that they eat, not only meat, but plant
material as well. Nonetheless, in the wild, more than 80 percent
of a canine's diet will be meat. For this reason, in addition to
sensors for sweet, salt, sour and bitter, dogs also have some
specific taste receptors that are tuned for meats, fats and meat
related chemicals. Dogs will tend to seek out, and clearly prefer
the taste of things that contain meat or flavours extracted from
meat.


The sweet taste buds in dogs respond to a chemical called
furaneol. This chemical is found in many fruits and in tomatoes.
Cats are virtually "taste blind" for this substance. It appears that
dog's do like this flavour, and it probably evolved because in a
natural environment dogs frequently supplement their diet of
small animals with whatever fruits happen to be available.


The taste buds for the basic flavours are not distributed equally
across the tongue. Sweet is best tasted at the front and side
portion of the tongue. The sour and salty taste buds are also on
the sides but further back, with the salt responding area being
rather small. The rear portion of the tongue is most sensitive to
bitter tastes. Sensitivity to meaty tastes is scattered over the top
of the tongue, but mostly found in the front two thirds. However,
all areas of the tongue can respond to all of the taste stimuli if
they are strong enough, it is just that the areas that I mentioned
are noticeably more sensitive.


Because of dogs' dislike of bitter tastes, various sprays, and gels
have been designed to keep dogs from chewing on furniture or
other objects. These compounds often contain such bitter
substances as alum or various substances derived from hot
peppers. Coating items with such bitter tasting material will
eventually keep most dogs from chewing on them, but the key
word is eventually. Part of the problem is that the taste buds that
sense bitter are located on the rearmost third of the tongue. This
means that a quick lick or a fast gulp will not register the bitter
taste. Only prolonged chewing will let the bitter work its way
back to where it can be tasted.


Dogs also have taste buds that are tuned for water, which is
something they share with cats and other carnivores, but is not
found in humans. This taste sense is found at the tip of the
dog's tongue, which the part of the tongue that he curls to lap
water. This area responds to water at all times but when the dog
has eaten salty or sugary foods the sensitivity to the taste of
water increases. The guess is that this ability to taste water
evolved as a way for the body to keep internal fluids in balance
after the animal has eaten things that will either result in more
urine being passed, or will require more water to adequately
process. This is useful since dogs are carnivores, and as we
already mentioned, there is a high salt content in meat. It
certainly appears that when these special water taste buds are
active, dogs seem to get an extra pleasure out of drinking water,
and will drink copious amounts of it.

Bringing a dog or puppy into your family is a huge decision, and
here are some things about man’s best four-legged friend that are
sure to be of interest to children (and some adults):

1. An adult dog has 42 teeth.

2. A dog’s sense of smell is more than 1 million times stronger
than that of a person.

3. More than 1 in 3 families in the United States owns a dog.

4. Spaying or neutering your dog can help prevent certain types of
cancer.

5. If never spayed or neutered, a pair of dogs can produce 66,000
puppies in 6 years.

6. A dog’s sense of hearing is more than 10 times more accurate
than that of a person.

7. The average dog can run about 19 miles per hour at full speed.
8. Dogs are mentioned 14 times in the Bible.

9. A dog’s nose print is one of a kind, very similar to a person’s
fingerprint.

10. The average body temperature for a dog is 101.2.

11. With an average lifespan of just over 11 years, the typical dog
costs $13,500.

12. The only sweat glands a dog has are between its toes.

13. Dogs are omnivorous; they need to eat more than just meat.


14. Dogs have twice as many ear muscles as people.

15. Dogs will be submissive to anyone they feel is higher up in the
pack.

16. People have been keeping dogs for pets for 12,000 years.

17. A female dog carries her puppies for about 60 days before they
are born.

18. It is a myth dogs are color blind; they actually see color, just
not as vividly as a person.

19. Obesity is the number-one health problem in dogs.

20. There are more than 150 dog breeds, divided into 8 classes:
sporting, hound, working, terrier, toy, non-sporting, herding, and
miscellaneous.

21. According to a recent survey, the most popular name for a
dog is Max. Other popular names include Molly, Sam, Zach,
and Maggie.

22. Dogs can vary in size from a 36 inch (150+ lb.) Great Dane
to a 2 lb. Chihuahua.

23. Puppies and kittens can be adopted as early as 8 weeks of
age. Until then, they should stay with their moms and
litter mates.

24. About 1/3 of the dogs that are surrendered to animal
shelters are purebred dogs.

25. Contrary to popular belief, dogs do not sweat by salivating.
They sweat through the pads of their feet.

26. Dogs may not have as many taste buds as we do (they have
about 1,700 on their tongues, while we humans have about
9,000), but that doesn’t mean they’re not discriminating eaters.
They have over 200 million scent receptors in their noses (we
have only 5 million) so it’s important that their food smells
good and tastes good.

26. The term “dog days” has nothing to do with dogs. It dates
back to Roman times, when it was believed that Sirius, the Dog
Star, added its heat to that of the sun from July 3 to August 11,
creating exceptionally high temperatures.

27. Did you know they were female? Toto’s role in The Wizard of
Oz was played by a female Cairn Terrier named Terry, and the
Taco Bell dog is actually a female Chihuahua named Gidget.

28. Former US President Teddy Roosevelt had a Pit Bull named
Pete.

29.The most successful mountain rescue dog ever was a St
Bernard named Barry, who lived during the early 1800’s and
saved 40 lives.

as vivid as we see.

31. Nearly all but two breeds of dogs have pink tongues: the
Chow Chow and the Shar-pei both have black tongues.

32.The Poodle haircut was originally meant to improve the dog’s
swimming abilities as a retriever, with the pom-poms left in

37. All dogs, regardless of breed, are direct descendants of
wolves and technically of the same species.

38. A dog’s whiskers — found on the muzzle, above the eyes and
below the jaws — are technically known as vibrissae. They are
touch-sensitive hairs than actually sense minute changes in
airflow.

39. Dogs are capable of locating the source of a sound in
6/100ths of a second by using their swiveling ears like radar
dishes.
