should woman wear dresses all the time???

[Guest Barbara2984]

I am very confused about this topic. I am going to a church that believes women should wear dresses or skirts all day, every day. I have asked them numerous times to show me in scripture where it says that and they never have an answer. All I can find is women should dress modestly. Anyone have any opinions? I apreaiate it.

Sound the legalistic alarm!

No were is the in scripture, its purely an unsciptual legalist law.

No you don't have to were it 24-7.

Women must wear a dress all the time! When women don't wear dresses all the time, all manner of bad things occur, like gas prices going up, food supply shortage, and gravity issues occur where people start falling up into the air.

Opps, this is not a humerous forum?

The Holiness movement charged that any wearing of pants or pantslike clothing was somehow masculine, this is trash, placing bondages on women that the bible does not.

Usually they reach back inot the old testament to establish their doctrine, but there is simply no new testament verses that address certain clothing styles, with the exception of modesty.

With so many serious and important things for Christians to be involved with, this is a distraction, and results in unrighteous judgement on all that do not agree with this doctrine.

If they are teaching this as absolute, I'd look for another church.

Jesus and his disciples wore robes that would look like long dresses to us today, but that was normal in their days.

The Bible does nowhere say that a woman can't wear pants.

I can understand if your church talks about to tight or too short skirts, but thats as far as I would go.

There are many more inward sins then wearing a pants.

Are you going to a closed brethren church or UPC church?

Hope this helps?

It is an Independent Baptist Church....no....they say women should wear dresses or skirts wherever they go, everyday. Not just to special functions or important dates.....everyday. I am honestly confused, thank you for the feedback I have already received and would appreciate more. Thanks for taking time to read and respond.

barb? what state do you live in and whats the name of the church if you dont mind me asking? My wife has also struggled with this same issue. We have a couple of tapes on the subject but nothing has been real convincing yet. But I say if im not sure if something is a sin, be on the safe side. I personly think as long as the thigh is not exposed your ok for length. As far as pants go, I still dont know myself.

Being a 'leg man' I tend to agree...but possibly for different reasons!

The Scripture does say a woman 'should not wear that which pertains to a man.' Now when the Pastors who preach this 'dresses only' nonsense are willing to preach Sunday morning in pink sequined pants suits, I'll believe 'em!!!

Women should dress modestly, as it states in God's word. But no where does it say that women are to only wear dresses. That is a church's legalist religion at work.

Then I have a question for the pastor in that church. If women are to only wear dresses, how does he feel about the Scottish men wearing kilts?
