Clothing

[slotted]

I noticed that the discussion of clothing was in the tithing thread. I didn't read the whole thread.
Does anyone on here attend a church that teaches that women should wear dresses and not pants? Or teach that a woman is not to wear clothing that pertaineth to a man, etc.

If your church doesn't teach it, do you hold it as a personal belief or conviction?


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.

SLOTTED!!! Stop quoting OT scripture and trying to relate it to modern Christianity. Once Jesus came along, OT stuff was tossed or revised. That's why they're called "Christians" - followers of Christ. Not followers of Moses or Abraham - Christ. There were no Christians before Christ, therefore the OT laws do not apply.

Do your homework and come back to us.

Vrai, there are churches out there that teach this, not a majority at all, but I would like to discuss their views with them and point out where they are wrong according to their Bible.

Vrai,
When I was overseas women were not allowed in the Church if they were wearing pants. So someone is still old school.
Just a thought

Are you suggesting that everything in the OT is considered the Law? I know of many Christians that would disagree with you.

Of course you would. Because you know everything and are in a fabulous position to tell others what they should and shouldn't believe.

Dur. I was suggesting just the opposite. Read the post next time, please.

I'm glad that you see it too.

I did read it, maybe you should read what you typed.

Most Christians consider much of the OT to be under the Law and the NT to fall under Grace. Therefore the OT Jews had to follow the law and look towards the coming Messiah in order to be saved and go to heaven.
I asked if you consider the OT to be the Law, how are you stating the opposite when you say OT laws do not apply?

Wrong again. Christians are not bound by OT law. Yes, they were laws back then but not after Jesus came along and straightened them out. If certain churches or denominations decide to follow OT doctrine, that's their choice. But Christians follow the NT because Jesus is their Lord.

You may have noticed that there's a good bit of diversity in the Christian church. The only constant is that they follow the teachings of Jesus, hence the term "Christians".

If you move to Saudi and get into the Koran...

...you will be able to find an endless supply of people who are wrong about what it says and you can correct them until your hearts content. Or they cut it out.

In the mean time, I wonder why you feel so threatened by Chritians?

Go after them Muslims. They're a far greater danger.

Wrong again. Christians are not bound by OT law.

I never said that Christians were bound by the laws, but just because one is saved, does not exempt them from the laws that God has put in place. God is said to be immutable, therefore what he finds abominable in the old testament, he still finds abominable in the new testament, the only difference now, is that one's salvation isn't dependent upon keeping the law. I know of churches that teach women should only wear dresses mainly based upon OT teachings. Do these churches teach that you are damned to hell if you don't obey this? For the most part, no. But the churches that teach this infer that you are not right with God if you don't follow this teaching. Make sense?

I would like to discuss this with Christians that follow this teaching, seems you just want to start a flame war and detract from my initial post. You don't follow this teaching, Great, it doesn't apply to you. Why respond to my initial post if it wasn't directed towards you?

I don't feel threatened by Christians at all. Because I live in a Western society, I know alot more about Christianity, than I do, Buddism, Islam, etc. I have to deal with it more on a daily basis than these other religions.

Islam is said to be the fastest growing religion. So, maybe in the future I will deal with it more, and speak out more against it.

he only asked that question to get people thinking / arguing is that Rhetorical

:shrug: Slotted is the only one in here wanting someone to respond so he can tell them they're wrong. And he openly admitted that.

And to JWWB: Slotted has never asked a single religion question with hopes of getting an honest answer. All he has EVER wanted to do was play "gotcha" - asks question in hopes that some poor unsuspecting soul will answer, so he can then tell them what fools they are.

Maybe out of everyone who has read the post so far, there isn't anyone that believes a woman should not wear pants.

I still don't see what the problem is?
