should woman wear dresses all the time???

[Guest jdr14]

Barbara,

some people will tell you that there is a place in the old testament, where it says that the woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a womans garment: for all that do so are an ABOMINATION UNTO THE LORD THY GOD. DEUTERONOMY 22 verse 5.

Some will say yes, but that is only the old testament , but surely the Word of God is the word of God. There are phrophecies in the old testament which are mentioned in the new testament which have still to come to pass. You cannot separate the Holy Word of God. Woe unto them that do so.

Barbara take this to the Lord in earnest prayer and he will show you exactly what his perfect will is for you. Poeples opinions are sometimes flawed, listen only to the sweet Holy Spirit. He will never give you the wrong answer, because He loves you dearly, you are his child. The Devil is as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour.

If June Cleaver can wear dresses at home and still be able to clean the house, well...........

I was wondering-how come Ward Cleaver was always home early from work? And what did he actually do for a living? And did Wally ever go to "State" for college? What state?

I've actually heard some preachers preach that if a woman wears a pair of pants, she is going to hell, because a woman shouldn't put on what pertaineth to a man, but that same preacher will go in to the bathroom and take off what pertaineth to a man, a thing called a beard. Being holy is not whether you have a beard or not or if you wear a dress or not, but it is funny how some preachers will make remarks like that about a woman going to hell for wearing pants while he shaves off his beard. My wife wears dresses and skirts 90 or 95% of the time, because she feels that it pleases the Lord, and she knows it pleases me, but she doesn't wear them to get saved, in fact, she was saved a good while before she started wearing dresses most of the time.

Why is it we go to church? Because God is worthy of our worship. From the time of Abraham, God instructed His people how to adorn themselves. When they left Canaan He instructed them to remove all their ear rings, jewelry and other items considered idolatrous.

Anything that takes our focus off of worship is to be left behind. Women know the difference between modesty and immodesty. They know that showing a little cleavage or tight pair of jeans is going to attract attention. Its one thing to allow ones natural beauty to shine and "dolling up" for church.

I never understood why women seem to think church is a place for a fashion show.

Did I read that correctly?  Somebody said "As long as the thighs are not showing, a dress is OK to wear?

I've always considered the miniskirt to possibly be the Western world's highest cultural attainment!

Barbara,

My church does not specifically believe that a woman should wear a dress all the time. We do believe that you should dress decent...that would mean covering your apporaite body parts. I reallly believe it is up to the person if they should were a dress all the time or not and how you feel convicted by the Lord about it. I know my best friend she use to wear dresses all the time because her husband told her she had to but she prayed about it and told him she didnt feel convicted by the Lord to wear a dress all the time. So I really believe that the whole dress issue is really between the person and God.

Love in Christ,
