Okay. You are going to have to explain to me how women wearing pants is placing a stumbling block in front of you. Cause if that is the case for you, how are you able to leave your house? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry. I don't get it. I have no desire to look like a man, even if I do wear pants. In fact if I was mistaken for a man I would be horrified! Any women would. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted. The scripture has no true relativity to it. Not really. The reason is due to the fact that the verse is pertaining to a confrontation with another in Christ. This one doesn't at all. And the guy is planning on getting drunk, then also has strong sexual overtones to it. Sorry - weird. Edited March 5, 2020 by BeauJangles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the pic in the op. Its easy to point out the flaws in others while ignoring our own. To me, it comes down to the saying... “do as I tell you to, think as I tell you to. Not as I do “ Our job isn't to be clothing police, or morality cops and brow beat people into biblical submission to our way of thinking. But to share the gospel. So my question to some of these folks... is... which is a bigger problem. Unbelief in the savior or a woman wearing pants. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should a man wear a dress to church? Everyone should be modest. Being modest is wearing loose woman's jeans instead of skin tight tights. I really don't mind a Scotsman wearing his kilt even if he has knobby knees. In Jesus' day the only separating woman and mens clothing was that a man had fringes or tassels on the corners of his robe if I remember right. So I always proclaim that there are no tassels on my bath robe. Men in our church wear jeans or hiking shorts, a clean shirt and either tennis shoes, sandals or boots. That way people are not dressing to be seen by people and all are made to feel welcome even if they can't afford formal clothing. God doesn't look at the outward appearance but looks at our hearts. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VERY inappropiate!! What to do?? Forbid little girls from running or swinging on the playground? Or give them separate playtimes?? I guess.... ?? What if it was a windy day and they are walking out to meet their parents in the parking lot after school and the wind catches their skirt?? Decency should be a consideration ... dresses and split skirts alone don't meet that requirement....and in my opinion, this is a SAFETY issue.... little girls and women too, for that matter... should be protected from prying eyes of MEN. What would be wrong with adding some sort of "pants" under the dresses? Or shorts under the "split skirts"? But no ... that is "wrong" ... by man's made up rules!! I'm fed up with religious rules that have absolutely NO common sense or Biblical basis whatsoever. yes. they call them culottes at my church 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 3/3/2020 at 6:59 PM, OneLight said: My eyes are not that good and her hands and neck looked like shadows, not a different color of skin. Looks like enough confirmation on that. I think it appears to be a skin tight blouse. More color to confirm it is one is obviously in order. Sorry, no offense to the optser. These cartoons do bash the guys, but trash the women. I find it in inappropriate taste. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
