It is NOT a sin for any woman to wear a pair of pants. What a crazy belief.

[Mathew Ward]

I should.  That would take copies sold to double digits!!!!

If he were a big shot like Bob Gray he could just make his preacher friends buy cases of his book.

When people say it's a "sin" for a women to wear pants, it's usually because the leadership has failed to teach the biblical truth. What can happen over time is application of biblical truth will replace the actual biblical truth. It is biblical for men to dress like men and women to dress like women. So how do we apply that today in 2012 America? Someone asked if a man could wear a dress. Is a dress typically believed to be a man's garment? No, of course not. Is a pair of pants typically believed to be a woman garment? Yes, of course. Pants are an item of clothing that both men and women wear. So it's fine for a woman to wear pants. Now, many years ago women only wore dresses and never pants. But that's not the case today. Anyone that teaches that today is elevating application to a biblical truth level.

Thank you.  At least your honest.  But what you are saying is that you will allow the culture to set the standard...what is acceptable in the world is what should be acceptable for the Christian.

The culture is not to set our standards - Bible principles are to set our standards in all areas of our life -- even dress!

Could you then show us in the Bible where pants or slacks are only men's wear?  You say they are because of the cultural influence, not because the Bible even deals with the issue of pants on women.  You contradicted yourself...oooppps!

No contradiction at all.  Our goal is not to dress ANTI culture.  The goal is to examine all the Bible says about how we are to dress, list the Bible commands and principles, then find within our culture (if possible) garments that honor those principles. 

There is NO WAY that a pair of pants on a woman honors the Bible principles of modesty, shamefaceness and femininity.

I don't believe pants on women are a sin.

I don't think we should get our Christian theology and beliefs from cultural practices or expectations.

It is a fact however, that Christians of yesteryear viewed britches on women as less than favorable, immodest, manly, or a combination of all the above(based on Deut 22:5 et al).

Yep.  But we all got so much smarter and holier the last 50 years....... :-\

We deserve to go to hell back then.  We still deserve it now, regardless of what we wear.

 

[bruinboy]

THE ONLY way you will convince me that pants on women is not a sin is to.......


......spend the next 5 YEARS writing a book on it!

Ready, set, go....

Once you order his other one and read it, then maybe he will write that one for you.

I should.  That would take copies sold to double digits!!!!

Glad to see you here Frag, someone to get daily entertainment from.  Now if we can just get TRB, pastor marty and pastor zero-neal to join you, we would have a foursome of idiots and maybe between you all, you could get to a collective Biblical IQ to double digits.  ;D
Have a good day my friend.

That would be your opinion, based on your view, not on the biblical text.  I would say there is no way that a pair of pants on a woman in no way dishonors the biblical principles of modesty, shamefaceness and femininity.  There are both dresses and pants that violate those biblical standards...but not because they are pants or dresses.

So as long as a Christian woman is doing good works, a string bikini becomes acceptable? 


Oh the desperation....
