I'm really confused about this. In the church where I worship, women don't wear trousers. But there are women in other churches that were trousers and their lives are just what you want them to be in Christ. Yet there are women in my church who don't wear trousers but you'd be wondering if they are christians at all.n So what is this tyrousers thing about really? Is God completely against it? Does it really amtter what you wear? Please, remember Deut. 22.5 as you reply to this question.
The only thing that matters about focusing on the physical trousers or lack thereof, is that they are worrying about material things either way. Lust of the flesh, a totally unrelated, but present, transgression.
Deut 22:5 means men aren't supposed to act effeminate and women aren't supposed to act butch. And that's pertaining to deep within. Don't suppress human gender nature. A man wearing a kilt is a comfort issue. A woman wearing pants is sometimes likewise a comfort issue. If a man wears a party gown and makeup to shock people, or if a Mennonite girl wears pants just to spite her elders, there's something else at the source besides simply Deut 22:5.
If you think of the phrase we throw around that says "You know who wears the pants in that family."
I think it's more attuned to the meaning of Deut 22:5
All these laws are still in effect, but they are in the heart now. Even the really weird sounding ones have a meaning in the heart.
And of course as post #11 states, this changing of gender roles spills over into sex acts, even with married Christian couples.
