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? I was asked about a situation where pants were made some way where a man would look effeminate in them, not masculine at all. I was saying that women that wear them place a stumbling block in front of other women to wear fashions that are masculine. It isn't a stumbling block to men, unless some decide to be trailblazers and try to make feminine clothes mainstream for men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sorry to the OP. But most of my threads get hijacked as well and turn into something else. 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. Its actually true to life. Often we condemn other Christians for things which are preferences or pretty minor while we gladly indulge in actual sins. Ive seen a backslidden Christian who barely does anything except attend on Sunday morning and had habits most Christians know not to do but blasted another Christian woman whos more active just because she wears tight jeans.

Most of us don't think in that manner. I certainly don't. Luke 6:42 pertains to personal confrontations of criticism, and they are considered hypocritical according to the Lord Jesus. The illustration and verse just doesn't match accordingly. The cartoon looked more befitting to these verses. Matthew 5:28 KJV 28But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. 1 John 2:16 KJV 16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

Christians really need to spend their time being kind and helping one another. Instead of standing around casting harsh judgments at people. A story comes to mind of a Christian family who moved next door to my grandma's house. My grandma was in her 70's and needed help mowing the lawn. I did my best to help but I was working 2 jobs at the time and it just became too much for me. This Christian family went over to grandma's house and mowed the lawn for her. For no pay. I was blown away at their kindness. No one had ever done that before. It is this sort of thing that Christians should be doing. Not standing off to the side and pointing out the faults of others. That is just what I think. Edited March 5, 2020 by LadyKay 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I can make that judgment because it is a cartoon and not a real person) I have seen people come in here telling us it is wrong to celebrate Christmas and Easter and saying we need to keep the 7th day Sabbath, and I am always respectful of them. At the same time, I don't see others affording me and others the same courtesy. I also have encountered a woman here who defended women in pants, but attacked the way a woman came to her church over something she thought inappropriate. I disagree with the whole premise of the OP that we should be all accepting, and given the picture, there was no way to avoid pants coming up.
