I was visiting a relative today, and when I was about to leave, I asked since she wasn't feeling well, if she wanted me to have a word of prayer with her. She say no, that I was wearing pants and it was a sin. I guess what she was saying was since I was wearing pants that I was a sinner and she didn't want a sinner to pray for her.
Somewhere in the pass, someone came up with what they thought was sin. And I guess that they somehow had gotten it from the Bible. I don't understand, nor will I try to find out just what their reasoning was.
It's a sin for a woman to wear pants.
Now, I have never read in the Bible where it's a sin for a woman to wear pants. In fact there were no such things as pants when the Bible was written. both men and women wore tunics. The Bible tells us in
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.
The idea here was that people should not cross dress, and appear to be of the opposite sex. This is such as gay people do, and as transvestites of today's world do.
Wearing pants that are made for woman is not sinful. But keep in mind that anything can be sinful if done in a wrong way. My thinking is, how women dress, whether in pants or dresses should always look proper, and not sexual. I see women all the time with their boobs sticking out from a top that is cut way to low. This to me is a sin. I see women wearing dresses and skirts that are so short that they have to keep pulling them down to keep their private parts from showing. This to me is a sin. Women are supposed to dress plainly as to not to cause attention to themselves.
Through His Word, the Holy Bible, God gives us simple and clear instructions.
1 Timothy 2:9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel… The word “modest” is defined in the English Dictionary as: 1. having or expressing a humble opinion of oneself or one’s accomplishments or abilities; 2. reserved or shy; 3. not ostentatious or pretentious. Therefore, God expects a woman to dress in a proper, well-mannered fashion, certainly not in a provocative, outlandish or excessive way. Christians are to be examples to those around them, Their appearance and actions should show stability and good judgment.
OK now that I've gotten that off by chest,
until next time, God bless, and please, tell me what you think.
